Drago backed up suddenly as Nighty and Guilly had a money fight. He stood back, but followed on foot at a slight jog, as Guilly spat at and then chased Nighty a bit around the park. "Hey, wait up!" Suzume called out as followed them. Magistrate continued to stand where they had just conversed, taking the time to do some research on water parks with a set of vid-windows while everyone ran around. She clearly wouldn't be pulled into the childish chaos when they had a mission to complete efficiently.
Eventually Guilly, Drago, and Suzu ended up back where they started. Magi just glanced up from her research for a moment to acknowledge them, before returning to her work. Guilly questioned Drago about his choice of companions and he just shrugged. There wasn't really anything he could say to defend Nighty's hyperactive actions to the more stoic woman. "Well, the Neo-Shoguns could use the energy," he weakly defended. "The NS seems to be concentrating on the 'soft power' plays as their strategy to win public support, as these kinds of missions show," he said, indicating the park around them. "I'm guessing having such a positive youngster in the group could do wonders for the overall image. Think of it as a PR move."
"Also I'm not sure that he will leave me alone since he took me as his 'dad'," Drago continued as he watched Nighty and Keep some ways away. "So, might as well make him a member if he plans on following me into missions." He scratched his chin in thought for a moment, as if something had came to him. "Though I guess any mission that requires any form of stealth might be off the table for now," he mused. "He would be liable to run up and hug the first guard he saw."
When Nighty and Keep came back, Keep presented them with... Sharksuits? "Oh how cute!" Suzu giggled as she spun around and donned the .GMO in a flash of light. She did some light posing while wearing the wetsuit. "How do I look? Rawr~" she cried, playing up the cute shark-girl angle. Drago took out the suit and began to examine it, turning it around in his hands, while Magi just stuffed the data packet into her pocket without looking at it or Keep. She was still too involved in her research.
As Keep turned and asked her questions to Yumi about the water, Drago turned to Suzu. "It looks like it is time to call Escort down to get her input." Suzu nodded and pulled out what looked like a flare gun, from, somewhere. She aimed it in Escort's direction and pulled the trigger. A loud pop-like bang and hiss followed as the firearm discharged a large canister-like rocket into the air, trailing multicolored smoke behind it. It arced like a rainbow over the battlements and airbursted, like a firework, a dozen or so meters from Escort's position. Suzu raised her other hand as she lowered her gun arm and waved at Escort, beckoning her over. "YOOHOO!"
After the group was gathered, Keep presented her notes collected so far, and asked for more input. Magi finally broke her silence by throwing one of her vid-windows at Keep while she kept working on a few others that had popped up around her. The vid-window attempted to link with the viewscreen that the group was looking at and transfer its data over.

- Swimming Pools [Note: Should be a mix of sizes and depths for small children to adult-sized individuals. No Olympic pool is required.]
- Lazy River [Note: Use the moat around the castle for this.]
- Waterslides [Note: Should be a mix of body and tube slides, with both open and closed flumes, and at various inclines and speeds ("from mild to wild") to offer variety. At least one should be sized for a multi-person, family-sized unit, to ride simultaneously. At least one should be a head-first mat slide where riders can race their friends and provide a competitive experience for young adults.]
- Artificial Surfing Pool
Utility
- Locker/Changing Rooms [Note: Should also supply sufficient outdoor shower poles spaced periodically around places of heavy foot traffic for easy cleansing.]
- Concession Stands [Note: Should be castle themed stalls, but with standard amusement park fare. At least one outdoor restaurant required that makes a balanced lunch and dinner.]
- Outdoor Carnival Games/Arcade [Note: Should be located near a concentration of Concession Stands/Restaurant so people have something to do when they are digesting any large meal before going back to swimming.]
- Maintenance/Janitorial Sheds [Note: Should be out of the way of foot traffic, but close enough in case of problem.]
- Speakers [Note: Should be placed out of the way under roof overhangs and on top of shower poles, outside the spray range. Should be used to play medieval-style festive music. Can be used to occasionally communicate events, rides closing or opening, where to enjoy particular rides, etc.]
After a few minutes of scrutinizing the information presented by Magi, Suzu nodded her head. "Seems she has the majority of what makes a water park to me." She took a moment to look around at the others gathered around her. "Anyone else have anything to add? Don't be shy, after all, this is a group effort." She then looked to Escort in particular. "I know Nighty probably has a ton of ideas, but what about you? There must be something you might want that hasn't been either listed or needed to be added to an existing thing."
