[The aquarium has the feel of a small-town tourist attraction, the sort built to give people just stopping to fuel up on petrol a reason to stay for an hour or two. There are various aquariums inside that, according to plaques beside them, once showcased various Alaskan fish; they're empty now. The whole atmosphere is kind of eerie, with the water casting rippling patterns on the walls, ceilings, and floors, but there's hot water in the sinks for anyone who wants it.

What's probably unwanted by everyone is the eyes. They're on the walls, drawn in the frost on the windows, they're on the ceilings, and the static crawls its way over walls and people. The sense of being watched, of being followed, is strong.]

Comments

[The frustration fades as John signs, and he takes the items back once they're handed to him. The signature is nice, neat and legible with just a little flair. He gives him one more thumbs up, this one much more casual in tone. He fully intends to draw another dumbass doodle of Watson with the pipe and deerstalker next to it later, but he wants to put effort into that ugly thing, to commemorate it properly. For like, the ironies, or something. It makes sense to him.]

[John can ask him later if he wants, once he gets his words back.]

[After tucking his things back into his bag and zipping it away, he rises and once more offers Watson his hand. He'll help him back up if he needs it, but if the man is content to hobble, he won't push it. He should be getting back to the gift shop soon, himself, before Bucky comes around to loom menacingly at him.]

[John waves away the hand this time.]

Think I'll sit out here for a while, thanks. I need to talk to him, anyway.

[He nods his head in Bucky's general static-y direction.]

Just try to stay calm today, okay?

[mrcreamsicles]

[His hand lowers as he follows the nod. He figures John will have to be the one to tell Bucky he's planning to stay today, and he'd rather not be in the vicinity when he does, as if he didn't have enough reason to keep his distance. He nods back to Watson himself. Calm, yeah. Drawing stupid stuff will take his attention off the rest for a while, and he can deal with the eventual arrivals when they come.]

[With one last, light wave, Davesprite floats off toward the gift shop again.]
