WHO: Issac and Catherine, and [OPEN]
WHEN: October 15th
WHERE: At the Aquarium
PROMPT: Plot
WARNINGS: TBD

The day was cool, cloudy and generally sleepy. It was hard to focus on any one thing. Thoughts drifted in and out of Issac's head as he lay sprawled across the ground in the Aquarium. Rare, green opalite glass tiles lined its vaulted ceiling, giving the entire place an Emerald City feel. Magic and energy pulsated over the island with hauntings of times passed playing out every now and then.

Many things were wrong with the pictures of living fish swimming around them. Shadows moved in the corners between tanks and sometimes he could feel the floor beneath him tremble softly like he was floating in a pool of water. While Issac did not consider himself a seer, his mental magic could be twisted in many ways that mimicked that of Seers. (Though did not nearly match what the Cirque's could do.) Anyone with any type of sensitivity to ghost energies or magic could feel how off-kilter the entire island was. The city beyond filled with the ghosts of an extravagant, powerful past.

While Issac had been playing fine to his cuddle buddies, his mind felt more haunted than before. Every new stop looped the thread through and item after item pulled at him in the depths of his nightmares.

It had taken longer than she would have liked to convince her new husband that meeting Issac at the aquarium was a good idea. Issac, for both of them, meant some kind of trouble. And after the last time, sometimes she had the ghost of fire that was Kennet's power haunting her. What damage could he do if he really let loose?

It wasn't often that she left the Cirque's grounds unless she was meeting a contact. She didn't have any in Detroit - there wasn't a big 'rare books and secret grimoires' business in the area. But she had found the aquarium without incident - hard not to with the way it pressed. Really, the island and the city as a whole was almost begging for her to take root and watch their secret histories. She wouldn't. She refused. And Issac wasn't exactly hard to find either, the search brief.

She stood at his feet, arms crossed in front of her mostly to hide the tattoo on her ring finger. Not that she'd be able to hide that from Issac. "Get off the floor," she sounded rather matronly but that wasn't uncommon.

Cat would have been surprised the witch population of SouthEast Michigan, but then they were a very close-knit group that relied more on one another than outsiders. It was hard to make a contact with them unless you already knew someone.

Issac wanted to tell her that he already knew about the happy engagement he had not been allowed to know about, but then he knew that she knew that he knew and it was best to just keep silent about it. If nothing else, the Cirque was a ball of gossipmongers whether externally or internally. Eventually, everyone would know, and while Issac wanted to celebrate with them, he was very aware of his exile from cuddle friends.

"Can you feel it? The waves? It's like swimming with the fishes of Oz. Oh! I wonder if they talk! I need to get Greyson in here!" Issac flipped onto his stomach and tapped on the floor. A few people wandered by the two, but for some reason did not seem to notice the Mentalist on the ground.
