Humming happily to himself, Akio glanced warily around the park. With no sign of life anywhere in sight, the teenager leaned forward, dipping one foot, then the other, into the frigid waters of the fountain.
It was still early, but at least he didn't have to fight with the ducks for space. The mallards had long since flown south for the winter, leaving the icy waters of the Destiny City Park fountain free for the taking. Which he happily did.
Soon enough, the small harp seal chirped happily as the hustle and bustle of Christmas shoppers slowly began to fill the park. The easiest escape route from the busy shopping center was by cutting through the Park, making the fountain perfect for his strategies.
His girl hunting strategies.
As the flock of female shoppers began to pass by, small fins began to slap against the water's surface. It was an easy way to catch attention - a splash here or there, if the slapping didn't work. In no time at all, the cooing and aww'ing had commenced, Akio making sure to squirm forward adorably as they approached.
He was used to the fondling. Several girls wouldn't do more than rub his stomach or scratch his head but every now and then he'd get some special attention and found a girl willing to pluck him up and snuggle with him.
He liked the snuggles - moreso the access they provided for him.
Already he'd received four tummy rubs, five head scratches, two snuggles and more aww's than he cared to count. All in all it was turning out to be a wonderful winter morning.
Too bad he failed to see the Animal Control van pull up into the adjacent parking lot.

After a year of turning into a moon man, complete with more glitter then an 80's rock music video or one triped out cult classic, Castor was pretty sure Destiny City was it's own brand of special. Monsters running around, kids hopped up going to space for a day. Crazy all over the board. So, when Elzo, just normal everyday Elzo, saw a seal, swimming in the water fountain of Destiny City park, he was pretty sure it was just another thing. Worst Case Scenario, it was a youma. A youma that apparently, after watching the seal for an hour, wanted nothing more then to gather the attention of girls.
At least the seal had good taste.
When animal control pulled up, people backed away, the seal was to be taken. Elzo almost felt sad, the lil guy just wanted some Destiny City cuties to snuggle. But, the seal was a wild animal, cute as it may be.
Net at the ready, animal control zeroed in, when a woman screamed. Purse snatcher. chaos broke out as mall cops and the police chased after the suspect.
In the ensuing chaos the seal seemed to realize it was time to stop making cute ':3' faces at girls and high tail it out of there. That was, hobble it's way into the dense foliage. Sighing, Elzo debated if it was his job to help out animal control catch an escaped seal of all things. Shrugging, he had been told to try and build good PR.
So it was that with a sigh, Elzo followed the seal, and once he was sure no one was watching, the glittery shine of Castor came to light.
Now, to find his tubby little friend.

Not again.
He grunted as his fat little harp seal body wiggled its way into the brush, his flippers catching themselves on the branches and twigs of the bushes camouflaging him. He knew who those men were - those men were Animal Control. And Animal Control meant being taken to the Destiny City Zoo and released into the Seal Exhibit, which meant spending hours defending himself from the one creature that could strike fear into his tiny adorable heart.
Snowflake.
Snowflake was one of the younger harp seals at the Destiny City Zoo. Snowflake was also a young female harp seal. In particular, a young female harp seal that had yet to find a mate and apparently thought Akio was the perfect match.
While Akio was never one to turn away adoration, his limits ended at the species line. The human species line.
So, when the opportunity presented itself for an escape, Akio took it without a second thought. Chest snuggles and cooing weren't worth the trouble of dealing with Snowflake (at least, not today).
Once securely in the brush, he closed his eyes and began to concentrate. Flippers turned into tan skin, black innocent eyes glowing blue. In a matter of moments, the seal was gone, replaced by a strangely dressed sandy-haired young man.
Smiling to himself, Akio brushed his hands clean of the dirt and slowly began to rise.
Mission: Accomplished.

In Destiny City, a lot of things were prone to occurring. Magical mishaps, property damages, unexpected explosions, sudden changes in weather, things breaking all known scientifically law. So, a tiny harp seal in the part, while weird, wasn't really all too freaky in the grand scheme of how life was in the big city. Castor had grown used to such magical tomfoolery. But a seal that turned into some guy? That was not only new, but he was pretty sure by the guy's clothes he wasn't a senshi. He also didn't look like a negaverse agent.
But, a lot of senshi could pass as agents of the negaverse, and vice versa. There was also those few Parallels, and that one Kurma guy who took them to space. ******** space. Space was a little lesser then guys who could turn into fat cute things, but it was still in the realm of the unknown. Leaning against a tree Castor sighed.
"So...did I just see what I think I saw?

He froze.
"So...did I just see what I think I saw?
His entire body went rigid at the sound of the man's voice, his feet planted soundly on the ground. He slowly finished rising up from where he stood, his mind racing with excuses, stories, anything to get out of this situation. Who was this guy - or better yet, how much had he seen?
"It depends on what you think you saw."
Immediately plastering a smile across his face, Akio swiveled around to come face to face with a man in a.... tiara?
His confusion was noticible, but quickly recoverable. "The seal... there was a seal. He went into the bushes somewhere - would you mind helping me look?"
One hand gestured to the bushes alongside him, his eyes never leaving this fascinating being in front of him. The outfit looked as though this man was in show business - perhaps he was from a circus? Why else would he have interest in a seal or staring in the bushes after a seal?
"That is... if you do not have to get back to...whatever it was that you were doing."
Hands moved to motion towards his outfit, including the now-noticed giant a**-wings on his backside.
Who was this guy?

"I think I just saw a seal turn into some guy. Like a selkie or something." Castor crossed his arms in the universal 'bullshit' sort of way. Really? People turning into animals? Animals turning into people? If it wasn't one thing it was the other. Or it was aliens, which apparently existed according to some of the senshi. Personally he just kind of...tried not to think too hard about that sort of thing.
Especially after his whole space trip and the no gravity and finding 'home' and yeah.
Yeaaaahhhhhh.....
Castor still thought it was like trippin balls. But seals in parks that could turn into people? Somehow, it was much less mind blowing then being flung in space and s**t.
"I was going to deliver a seal to animal control, give some good PR for us senshi." Castor raised an eyebrow. "But...I get the feeling that it's not possible anymore."

Attempting to remain calm and collected, the young man folded his own arms across his chest in imitation, gloved hands taking hold of his elbows as he allowed his grin to turn sly.
"Then I think it's time someone got their eyes checked, hm?"
Not a moment later, however, and Akio's cover was blown. The strangely dressed man's last comment hit a nerve and arms fell down to his side as he took a step forward.
"Good PR?"
Akio was well aware of what PR was. Akio had vast experience in the world of PR - what to do, what not to do. How to make oneself look good to the public, how to avoid having your bad side shown to the public's eye. He was very versed in the ways of the PR world.
"You think putting poor defenseless creatures into captivity is good PR?"
One hand moved to his hip, the other jerked out and began motioning wildly as he raised his voice. "Who the hell do you think you are? Did you ever stop to think that maybe the seal doesn't want to be captured? You've got some nerve just... just assuming that you can flounce around with your little... your little tiara and your wings coming in and pretending that you and your menshi can just pick up wild animals off of the street and call it good PR!"
He paused, as if it suddenly dawned on him what he was saying and his face immediately paled.
"You don't...don't know what it's like. I'm sure he was traumatized with all of the ruckus. Traumatized."

The outburst genuinely startled Castor and got him to take a step back from the young man. "God, who shoved a stick up your a**?" The sound of yelling was dying down, a sign that the police officers had gotten the civilian situation under control. "Yeah, good PR. You seen what they write about us in the news? It's total bullshit. Attacking old ladies and kicking kittens. Total. Bullshit."
As the young man spoke with more animation Castor growled. "Listen, I- What did you say?" It was Castor's turn to get defensive. "Don't insult my asswings yo. Or my mother ******** tiara. I earned this s**t okay?" A finger jabbed the seal boy in the chest. "Now, seriously, was I tripping balls or did I see you pull a ******** magic sparkle act only minus the sparkles?"
Listening, Castor didn't hear anyone coming in after them. Had animal control left? "Because if that fat guy is out there I need to go get the little ******** and stick him in the zoo or something for rep."
