All right, this is the last of it. I can't promise the next fics will be lighter, but maybe less internal turmoil on my part.

Aquarium

As said in the fic, Aqua Park Shinagawa didn't technically exist during OOO, but it was too good a location not to use, and I may have fudged things here and there anyway.

Official English site
Map
Yelp (check out the photos)
"Date" with someone at Aqua Park (I think it's meant to be one of those "imagine yourself dating this guy" things. I just used it for views of the jellyfish and information on the snack bar)
Kind of an ad explaining more

Fashion (and my crappy art)

I know nothing about fashion or designing things, so I did have to look up a few things to come up with ideas, mixing and matching common designs. But this dress (found here) was so unique I had to mention it as inspiration for Mezool's dress

Mezool's dress and parasol
Sketch version of Hina's dress
Color version of Hina's dress (I used pearlescent watercolors, so it's a little hard to make out some details)
Obidome (kind of what I was going for with the octopus details on Mezool's dress. Not exact, but that's the closest comparison I can make)

Also, medicine

Drowning (intubation, etc.)
