"I think it is good if children can hear all versions of story. That way they just know that stories can end different ways despite the troubles set before them! If only to make the choices right for them," Nadya said as if she happened on something wonderfully wise through the conversation. She couldn't help it.
She tilted her head and then brightened up considerably, "Yes! I would enjoy this. In exchange maybe you can meet my Ariel, Fynn and others. Maybe if I am with them they will not think you are there to punish them," Nadya said cheerfully. She was always glad to show off her 'babies'.
Nadya shook her head a bit as the blush slowly faded off her face. She let her fork push food around a little on her plate, "No. No. I come to states to study at bigger schools and for more jobs. Only a few chances for oceans and certain sea life in Russia," she smiled wryly.

Staff Name: Nadezha Utkin [Goes by/Listens to Nadya] Job Description: Staff - Handler - Mostly at Underwater Center
Physical Description: She stands at around 5'1 with dark brown hair that cut about shoulder length and usually kept in a braid. Her eyes dark brown colored - they almost look black. Nadya is not very thin, in fact she has curves, and well built legs - like she could probably crack heads like swallows eggs with them. She smiles often and wears perscription glasses when she reads. She has a Russian accent and is very proud of her heritage.
Brief Character Profile: Miss Utkin is friendly and cheerful it probably has a lot to do with the fact that she deals with water creatures a lot - her specialty having been dolphins while she was working in college for her Marine Biology degree. Nadya never intended to stick around Wonder Park and wanted to persue her own research, but things happened. Nadya had gotten attached to some of the critters that she works with. She is motherly and protective of those she cares for.

Cora had to agree with him, she wasn't sure she ever wanted to go back to Monster Mountain. The animals there quiet honestly scared her to no end, and were just to close for her personal liking. Picking up another piece of fruit, she place it into her mouth as she looks over at Tonio, before turning to see others had indeed started arriving.
She was curious as to what they seen, or if anyone else caught some great pictures of the animals within this park. Snapping her head back around, she grins at Tonio as she quickly nods "Yes, well, having a camera just feels right. Without it, I didn't feel right being here." she pauses as she looks back at him "I like that I am here with you Tonio, its been alot of fun." nudging him in the side, she falls quiet as she looks down at her plate.
Okay before she said something foolish, she was just going to keep quiet for now.

Guest Name: Coraline Dolan Guest Profession: Photographer Physical Description: Standing five feet, seven inches, she a beauty in her own unique way. With boy cut dark brown hair, its highlighted with blood red through the whole hair. Her bangs are longer and hang in her face most of the time. Slate blue eyes, with freckles all over her cheeks and nose. Normally spotted in a simple spaghetti strap shirt and flare jeans. Brief Character Profile: Full of life, she always has a smile on her face. To her, even the worse moment can be the best picture if you look through the eye of a camera. She loves to talk to everyone, and always tries to include everyone in.
Steve didn't realize just how hungry he was, When they pulled up to the Dining Hall He jumped out of the car leaving Bear Behind a few steps. He walked up to the line and grabbed a plate and started shoveling food on to it. " Little bit of this... lots of this... eww none of that." he muttered to himself. He turned to Bear I'm gonna go find a seat I think that guy over there with the lab coat is someone who works here, He pointed I have a few questions I would like to ask about some stuff today."
Steve takes off to go talk to the man.
"Is this seat taken?" he ask trying to balance his full plate off food in one hand and his soda in the other.
Steve only left Bear behind because Bear's seatbelt got stuck. For all the newness of the vehicle, it did not seem to like him, or maybe it just wanted him to starve. That is what the day's activities had made him, starving.
Was that a Buffet? ...... Oh yes, yes it was.
Making his was past the other guests not really paying much attention to avoiding them, Bear may have knocked a shoulder to two. he made no beeline for the food, it was straight. Grabbing the largest plate possible he began carefully layering as much food onto it as possible. Some people didn't know how to stack a buffet plate, well Bear did.
Topping his pile with a little dessert Bear turned, finally realizing he'd separated from his friend again. He spotted Steve halfway across the room heading for one of the staff. Which had an extra spare seat nearby. Bear followed.
Getting the grin and the positive answer set him at ease. "Well I'm glad then." Flushing at the rest he shakes his head, it was always a good time for him as well when the woman was around. She truly was his best friend, so easy to be with without having to think about more than necessary and she understood his weird moods. Taking the nudge with a sheepish look he chuckled lowly, a little embarrassed himself when she falls silent.
Eating silently he was perfectly content but he knew that Cora likely wasn't. After a few bites and a look around he finally spoke, "so do you plan to go right to bed...or will you be going out again?" Tonio put his fork down, shifting in his seat a little to turn to the redhead.

Looking around and Seeing Bear at his side again Steve sat down at the table. He didn't want to just jump in to questions at first with the staff he thought that would be rude. He turns to Bear " so you never did say where you went in the forest. Did you find your giant tree?" his question was a little muffled with all the food he had stuffed in it.
After squishing into the seat next to Steve Bear looked around the dining hall. The ice sculptures were fancy. Before he could get much farther Steve's question interrupted him, and he blushed. Who wanted to admit they'd run off on their own, in dangerous territory, on a wild goose chase? And gotten lost? Especially if you were a naturalist?
"No, didn't find it." He settles for looking just a little put out in general and left it at that. "What other creatures did I miss?" He asked, as a way of changing the line of conversation. He wasn't sure why Steve had chosen to sit here, it was nearer the middle of the room. Bear hated being in the middle, surrounded by people. It was cagey.

Shoving another fork full of food in his face " oh that sucks maybe they just don't have them here." He takes a minute to clear his mouth. " well lets see I got into a fight with a Kitsune that took my camera, and she had a few friends I think one was a kirin..Don't call it a unicorn it gets mean eyes and apparently offended when you do oh and a centaur was with them." Takes a sip of his drink and looks around the room " oh and when you came up you saw the wyverna and dog like thing."
Cora glance towards Tonio as he spoke to her about plans. Setting her own fork down on her nearly empty plate, she looks down at she shakes her head "I was thinking I might head back towards the Coast actually. See if I could get some pictures of the mermaids and a couple more the creatures around there. I keep thinking a night image would be a beautiful thing." she gives him a lazy shrug before looking up at him.
It was easy for her to just fall into a routine with Tonio around. She was the open one out of the two of them, and she found that given time she could get him to talk.
"Your welcome to join me, maybe you can get some more information about them for a book." turning to face him, she stood slowly as she holds her hand out towards him "Beside I think I need a break from having a ton of people around." that last part was intended for him, as she knew how he felt where they were around huge crowds.
So she wanted to give him a chance to just breathe.

"Oh, by all means!" Cecil snapped from his thoughts immediately as some of the guests came to join him- he glanced up at Bear. He had to crane his neck to see his face.
Immediately, the Dr. wasn't sure what he thought of these two. "I hope you've been enjoying yourselves," he finally spoke up between their banter, smile remaining politely on his face.
[Entering] Penelope was quiet, but that was mostly due to her shoveling her mouth with food and chewing with her mouth closed.
She was listening to the conversation, but didn't give much input on things. At least... not until she was addressed.
She hadn't meant to disturb people upon entering from the last place they'd visited, so she quietly loaded her food on a plate and 'mingled' politely. While listening.
It would be rude to interrupt.

Wickett surreptitiously added some of the choicer selections to Cecil's plate, making sure it was balanced.
"They were in my group," he said.
Wickett knew about the business on Monster Mountain. And that Cecil had been testing the Fear Disruptors. He'd already viewed the footage.
"How was your day? Good results with the new equipment?"
"Worked as intended and no dissipations," Cecil seemed to take the sudden intrusion in stride. Just a regular happening. "And they all performed beautifully afterward, if I do say so. Tricky creatures, the Monsters are always a little rowdier, but don't let the others fool you." He laughed, turning back to the two Tourists, "That mermaid actually tried to drown me once. Hah! ME! Hahaha suffice to say, it didn't happen again." He happily speared a potato on his fork. "We train our animals thoroughly."

Wickett folded his napkin into his lap, cutting his own meat into even pieces.
The claw-like, metallic finger gauntlet stayed in place.
"An additional handling method," he explained to Steve and Bear, "that doesn't necessitate relocation. ...We can continue touring tomorrow. Mr. Moore could show you the labs...the creation process is really quite- unique."

Of course she was, they did typically think alike. A larger grin broke out as he listened to her reason for wanting to go, he admired that Cora could take work seriously and still talk about it with so much passion. "I was thinking the same actually. Of course not pictures but more notes and research." Reaching for his cup of sweet tea he took a long thirst quenching gulp.
Again emerald eyes went towards the doors and noticed the influx of people.
As he sat his drink down his hands slipped under the table, his left hand turned over and his right thumb started to caress his palm. Caressing over and over to help him keep the friendly smile on his face. Over and over.
When Cora rose he took her hand and pulled her slowly back towards her seat. Glancing to the table sheepishly he geeked a little with a wide grin, "how about just a single slice of 3.14 before we head out." Needless to say he had a larger appetite than Cora and even though he wanted to escape the growing crowd, he really wanted a slice of one of the various pies on the buffet tables.

Guest Name: Antonio Altamirano Guest Profession: Fantasy writer Physical Description: He is a tall, muscular yet slender Hispanic man. Around 6'0ft in height and has curly brown hair along with a tattoo on his arm but typically since he is in proper attire you cannot see said tattoo. He is in jeans and a short-sleeve WONDER PARK T-s**t. Brief Character Profile: Stubborn. Anyone that's met Antonio knows he's a little uneasy around a large number of people, one that prefers to do his job with as minimal talking as necessary after all he's there to do a job not make a friend. While he's a bit of a hard-a** when works involved he is able to cut loose and lay back when the situation for it arrives. He's an observer by nature which can have him coming off a little creepy at times.. well that and his own twisted sense of humor. All in all he's a generally silent sweet man until his temper gets the better of him or his 'inspiration' strikes.
