[So, there is a young woman--not that you can tell--wandering around outside, dressed in.... this. And yes, there are two things we are absolutely not sure of: one, why she's wearing it and going out publicly in it, and two: where she even got it from in the first place. It's probably better not to ask either of those questions if you're expecting

Of course it's appropriate, FFVII has dolphin kick aaaand...

[gardenerofgaia]

...Mr. Bubbles! [Or at least, it is a dolphin like Mr. Bubbles. This one probably can't launch Cloud onto high voltage towers except AC totally proved Cloud-tossing is an AVALANCHE hobby. Anyway you will get Aerith coming closer to check it out. Maybe she's off the clock; at the moment she's in a normal dress.]

Ahahahaha yes. Oh, Mr Bubbles, I remember you.

[packedapunch]

[Oooh. Tifa was spotted by someone she knows a lot sooner than anticipated. It's time to see just how convincing she can be-- after all, mascots should have secret identities, too; just like superheroes. In her opinion.] Er. Hello~! [And that's Tifa trying out a deeper voice than usual. At least it's muffled somewhat by the giant dolphin head.]

[gardenerofgaia]

[It is muffled, and honestly, "dolphin mascot" is not something Aerith would expect to find Tifa in so the idea that it might be Tifa flies over her head for now. She pauses at the sound of the voice, though.] Hello~ Are you a Mister or Missus Dolphin?

[...chalk one up for the "questions you don't expect to ever hear from friends" category.]

[packedapunch]

["Dolphin mascot" was probably not something anybody expected to find Tifa in, ever. Exactly why she had chosen it, of course, after much deliberation about dignity-- and eventually deciding that pretty much everyone's dignity was null and void anyway. Tifa tries to lower her voice a little more.] Mister, of course! Ahahaha... why wouldn't you think so?

[And that question gets her a little flustered. Just a little, okay.]

[eidolon_soul]

[An armored Rydia is trudging through town, with thoughts of a long, hot bath after a grueling day of straining. Her spear drags a little, too heavy for her to use anyway. She barely noticed anything around her...but something catches her eye and there's a double-take directed at the strange costume.]

[packedapunch]

[Oh, hey, there's an armoured person over there- perfect!, Tifa thinks. She's been wanting to see just how well-received her dolphin costume would be. Considering, because she's Tifa, she's still unsure about this whole thing.] Hello there! [And yes, that's her trying out a "manly" voice.] How are you today?

[eidolon_soul]

I'm.... [Unbelievably sore.] ...fine.

[She tilts her head, curious.]

Does Halloween come more than once a year? No one told me.

[packedapunch]

I don't know what Halloween is, but... [Tifa gives her the thumbs up.] I've decided to become the new Luceti mascot. It might be the pick-me-up that this place needs!

[koko_ni_iru]

[Guy manning lingerie booth just staring... with a rather bland expression. At this point Soushi has gotten rather desensitized to all the strange things happening lately. Heck, everything almost seems... normal now.]

[packedapunch]

[Oh hai there, Soushi! Tifa would probably take more notice of the lingerie booth if... she could actually see properly through the dolphin head right now. As it stands, she's just going to wave kind of awkwardly. She's still not very good at the whole mascot thing, yet. But practice makes perfect, right~?]

Um... Hello, sir! Nice day... isn't it?

[koko_ni_iru]

[A dolphin. Kinda reminds the island-born, island-raised guy of the sea. Which he misses. So just gonna sound a lil' bit wistful as he answers you.] It is.

...What are you doing?

[packedapunch]

[Tifa notices the wistfulness, a little confused. Considering her reasoning for picking a dolphin had been Mr Bubbles and one of her perfected Limit Breaks.]

Oh, well- I'm, um, I'm the Luceti mascot! There's enough people here now for us to need one!

[god_is_a_dude]

[...Doop doop doo- Wait what the hell is that a dolphin? Seriously. Haruki who is walking around in a suit right now looks over at this dolphin and-]

Oi, what the hell are you supposed to be?

[packedapunch]

[Oh, look, another passerby! Great! Tifa... waddles over.] I'm the Luceti mascot!

1/2

[god_is_a_dude]

[..........what-]

[god_is_a_dude]

[WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU THINK YOUR-]

Then why the hell do you look like a dolphin?!

[punchandsleep]

[And here's a little kid to go with the mascot, even if she's a self-proclaimed evil little kid. But at the sight of that, she gives a little squeak and runs on over.]

Are you one of Shamu's friends?

[packedapunch]

Shamu? [Tifa considers this.] Um, no. I don't think so. I've never heard of Shamu.
