| | Scamander Zoo  Established in February of 2016, Scamander Zoo ironically can be found in a small, run-down opera house across from the London Zoo that non-wizard folk have a habit of overlooking, though this is a mere façade to keep things Muggle Worthy. Once a ticket has been purchased at the reception desk inside the central hall of the opera house, a grandoise staircase leads the way to a set of golden double doors.
Crossing the threshold causes everything to transform and takes the visitor to the zoo's lobby where various fountain beasts await. Free maps of the zoo, creature pamphlets, and fliers can be picked up here. To the left is the gift shop, and the bustling food court is to the right. Moving forward is the Childrens' Playground, which is decorated to resemble a classic playground accompanied with a Hogwarts-esque tree fort and a variety of kid-friendly creatures roaming around such as the Flobberworm, Crup, Kneazle, Puffskein, Niffler, and Demiguise.
The zoo beyond, however, definitely has a wide range of beasts -- from the mundane to extremely violent, the common and unfamiliar. You are sure to get your fill of magical creatures by visiting all of the different enclosures: African Safari, Aquatic Reef, Bird Nest, Gnome Garden, Grecian Parthenon, Horse Paddocks, Insect and Pest Dwelling, Mooncalf Field, Reptile and Amphibian House, Spider Web, Troll Enclosure, and the Westward Expansion. OOC: Feel free to utilize this spreadsheet as a reference for all of the creatures present at the zoo that your characters may be seeing on their visit. If you have a character that is already employed or wants to work at the zoo, you may add them to the list and role-play them here.

Oh no, the pamphlet was going away. That meant things were getting serious. And look at that he will count not being negative as a win and he got a cheek kiss out of it. Now clubbing was a subject for them to talk about at a more serious time. But knowing them it will happen with both of them in bed and they are both exhausted and making important decisions.
"As long as you think I'm more attractive than a troll. I can live with that while also being worse at ballet than them"
Making his way with her toward the trolls. Oh he looks at his phone. Since all it was good for right now was being a watch. She was of course right like usual and he gave a sigh. It was his fault for being a lazy walker. "Want me to princess carry you there. Might be the fastest way?"
No them running would be but where was the fun in that! Engineering was such a foreign concept to Delilah that it only made her admire David more. It seemed so fantastically complicated. She was not particularly gifted when it came to mathematics, so anyone who showed mastery over the subject was awe-inspiring.
Bed or perhaps on the balcony over some breakfast and coffee. She had just purchased a French Press for the flat so that they could elevate their coffee experience. Even if she had to really regulate her intake and not over do it. When she was within that sweet spot of caffeine, it actually benefited her performance ability. Or...coffee in bed? Best not think on this too long or else she would turn into a tomato again.
"Of course I do," she laughed and gave his chest a couple of soft pats as they walked. "You are very handsome." No offense to the trolls, of course.
"Do I want you to...what? Carrying me? Wouldn't that be a terrible burden to you? Besides, my feet are quite mended now. I can manage...even if we took it at a bit of a jog...or even a sprint?" Her arm unraveled from around his so she could dance her fingers down his arm and over the back of his hand, upon which she gingerly turned it so they were palm to palm and slipped her fingers in the gaps between his.

Some nice pancakes or waffles with some french coffee. Sounds like a winning combo to David. But well David would have a hard time leaving the bed to get that started so maybe in his dreams. Please no tomato face. He was trying to save that for later when they were not hurrying to see some Trolls. "My worries are gone. Thank You so much. the bar maybe low but i have cleared it"
At least he got her flustered. So win for him. Lets not talk about how easily he can make it happen. Please and Thank You. Its adorable she thought it was because of her feet and not him messing with her. Not to mention she was lighter than his book bag. If he wasnt using magic to make it lighter. "Pick you up and run to the Trolls...you are never a burden....also good to know about ur feet...its ok i'm just joking tho we should speed walk there since i dont want to miss a thing"
He says before bringing up a hand and kisses the back of her hand quickly.

He says before bringing up a hand and kisses the back of her hand quickly. It took her a moment, clearing bars was not a phrase she heard all that often when it was not in relation to athletics, but she understood the sentiment and offered him another cheek peck. "With ease," she added for additional, and hopefully unnecessary, reassurance.
She still wore socks more often than not, though David was privy to the rare occasion in which she took them off. Something that had happened completely subconsciously and by the time she had realized it happened...she also realized that it was not something she felt as self conscious about. At least not when it was just David around...even if her feet still had their deformities and fair share of minor injuries.
Blushing, her hand tingling and sending a shiver all the way from the back of her palm to nape of her neck, she smiled and nodded her head in agreement. "A speed walk then. Surely there will at least be seats in the back we can slip into."
And with that decided, she took her first couple of steps forward before glancing back at him with a sweet but mischievous smile before continuing her strides with just a bit more vigor.

It was not her fault since David was using phrases that might have been out of style but glad she got the point eventually. Also it made him imagine her playing limbo and he reckoned she would be pretty good at it. How loooow could she go? The answer is lower than him. See with ease was a perfectly good answer and now he didn't feel like a troll...both kinds of trolls since he did love to troll Delilah like half the time.
Those rare occasions were certainly worth all the effort.
AND THE RACE BEGAN..the walking race since David didn't want to walk too fast and make it awkward and he want to walk in pace with her it make it enjoyable for both of them.
"Usually you take seats in the back for other reasons you know"
He cant help it.

He cant help it. She was quite flexible and there was a limbo-like game that was played at ballet practices on the occasion. She was not consistently the victor but still held her own and lasted until the top 10 or 5 members rather consistently. They could possibly work on his own handsome troll flexibility another time.
Light on her toes as ever, it was a walking race that she could easily win if she so desired but she was far more interested in keeping in stride with David so that they could arrive together. And when they did, with mere minutes to spare it would seem, she looked up curiously at him as they walked along the back row for seats with a good view. "...what reason is that?"
Pausing her step for a moment, Delilah looked ahead at the stage and decided that this seemed to be a good spot. "Is here okay?"

Handsome troll flexibility sounded like a phrase that should never be uttered again. Since all three words together don't seem to work together. No troll was handsome and also flexible. Ok maybe thinking too much on that when there were better things to think about.
Has David not mentioned yet today that he loved it when she asks innocent questions like that? Even if maybe more these days she was just playing along. It was still a lot of fun. "The reason is we can make some noise and distract ourselves doing some naughty things and not have to worry about anyone hearing us or caring"
but in this scenario, he was more than happy holding her hand how lewd , and watching some trolls. " You picked the best seats we could get at the last minute I have no complaints"

but in this scenario, he was more than happy holding her hand how lewd , and watching some trolls. " You picked the best seats we could get at the last minute I have no complaints" Well...maybe he could be the first. He was a troll, in the word play sense, after all. Also incredibly handsome and...well...his flexibility from personal observation and experience wasn't terrible either.
Again, she really ought to have figured out what he was alluding to. However, when someone mentioned 'naughty' things, she tended to consider mischievous matters and despite herself was now imagining David leaving graffiti on the bench or loading his hands up with popcorn or some sort of messier snack food to throw at people. Both seemed entirely unlike him, so she could not imagine why he would even want to tease her on such matters. Not to mention how she would never condone such things. "But then wouldn't we miss out on the show?" she asked, the pieces clearly not falling into place since there was no rouge to her cheeks. "That is a good thing...considering we have very limited options," she laughed softly before scooting a little closer to him and resting her head upon his shoulder.

YOU COULD ONLY BUTTER HIM UP SO MUCH BEFORE HE MIGHT BLUSH. Which is deserved considering how many times he had made her blush from being a troll. So turnaround was fair play. David really did try to be somewhat direct there and it still flew over her head. As direct as he could be with a joke. You got to love it. It would be such a waste of popcorn when he could be tossing it at Delilah instead. Seemed like a much better use for it after he was full on the buttered popcorn. "True but the hope would be that I would be making you feel so good you would stop caring about the show"
Hopefully, some small pieces were falling into place now and if not he was giving up since hope was lost and it was time to move on. Her resting her head on his shoulder was proof he wanted her to enjoy herself here. He never watched troll ballet either so he was kinda looking forward to it as well. "We seemed to make the best of limited options don't you think"
He was definitely thinking about Atlantis right now.

He was definitely thinking about Atlantis right now. It truly was a special day when she brought out the rosy hue to his cheeks since he did it entirely too easily to her. It only took as much as look sometimes, a lot of the time. Right now, however, it was a whole lot more than a look a a very specific set of words that had her looking like a very VERY ripe tomato. No longer leaving her bread crumbs to follow his trail of thought, David was dropping full baguettes.
"David," she hissed while giving his shoulder a very light whack with her open palm. If it hadn't been for the gentle fanfare of music that began to play, she very well may have forgotten about the show. "...behave yourself...while we are at the zoo..." she mumbled and squealed under her breath while wiggling just the tiniest bit in her seat. She couldn't tell if she was relieved or not when the trolls began to tip toe (it was a stomp but she could tell they were trying their best to tip toe).
Hugging his arm once again, Delilah returned her head to his shoulder only to lift it one more time so she could smile at him and give him a little kiss on the cheek in agreement.
Now...no more distractions. Just enjoy watching your kin perform, David.

AND there it was the hissing whisper of his name from her lips. David was waiting patiently for it since they had sat down. He even got a whack. Happy day for this troll. Asking him to behave at a zoo of all places was asking too much. Cant act like an animal anywhere else so why not at the zoo. That sounded wrong but lets go with it. "This is me behaving myself at a zoo. Its not like we are at a 5 star restaurant where i would probably be worse"
It was the truth. He gave up making anymore points when she kissed his cheek. No boredom where since lets face it he would be far more annoying when bored. "You think i could stomp that well"
He whispered to here a few moments later.

"Worse?" she squeaked while giving David yet another firm tap on the shoulder. Perhaps the funniest part of this whole exchange was that she wasn't sure if he was being serious or not, such was the risk of dating a troll. "You can...behave less once we are back at the flat," she laughed under her breath before giving him another peck on the cheek. And they were going back to the flat tonight, yes? Unlike Atlantis, there was no final portkey (or submarine) back to Paris so in theory they should not be stranded and their hands forced. Not that staying over in Atlantis had been a horrible experience - quite the contrary, it had been wonderful.
The troll ballet was rather charming and the colorful tutus were a fantastic accent to the whole aesthetic. Especially when the strings of ribbon were brought out and the trio of trolls performed with those...though it was a real pity that they were getting all tangled up. It was only a matter of time before the knot turned too tight and the trolls fell over. Delilah, for one, would not be laughing at such a thing. "Hmmm?" she questioned, her attention clearly hyper focused on the performance. "Oh...I think...you would have to make quite the effort to accomplish that level of stomping. You are quite light on your toes."

You are quite light on your toes." Don't threaten him with a good time. Not like this wasn't already a good time but you understand. You could see his face light up when she said behave less back at the flat. Look at her making plans for them. First this zoo, next a bakery and then back to the flat for some fun. He kind of liked having an itinerary for the day. “You have a deal. But we have a stop to make before going home”
It was for food and he was just having fun and making it vague. Also this is another great reason for them being in the back. Nobody cared much that they were talking. You know David was finally paying most of his attention to it and was wondering why the strings in the first place. Trolls are not the most coordinated beings in the world and just seemed like a recipe for disaster. This internet troll on the other hand had a good chuckle at them getting tangled up. “Only to stay out of your slapping range. I do like it though”
Hopefully she did not catch that and was still hyperfocused and some real trolls

| astronomizzle ♧ gryffinDORK | & the rest is drag ♣ #badluckDerf It wasn't a threat, David! It was...more of a genuine promise and one that actually understood the subliminal message between the words. A shocking revelation, truly, but it was also a necessary defense considering how his current behaviour was going to cause her cheeks to hurt from all the blushing and smiling. What a problem to have...she felt...so lucky.
"What do you mean?" she asked, leaning towards him a bit so she would not need to raise her voice much and disturb the other patrons. The music was quite loud and the trolls' feet very heavy, which meant every sauté, jeté, and assemblé send a tremendous echo throughout the amphitheater.
Speaking of heavy feet, weren't you meant to be behaving yourself, David?
Delilah was rather engrossed in the performance, so she did not thoroughly hear what it was he had said. Something about staying out of the way of something or another, perhaps? "You? Purposefully stay away from something?" she laughed and turned to smile at him properly. "You know perfectly well that you cannot resist doing something once you've had your mind all wrapped around it."

"You know perfectly well that you cannot resist doing something once you've had your mind all wrapped around it." It was very much a threat and a promise! David Blackwood was going to cry that her defenses actually understood what was happening now. He was her problem and he not have it any other way. Also there were far worse problems to have. Like imagine if they were real trolls. Gross right.Good thing he was distracting himself or those echo would start to get on his nerves since its one of those things where he noticed it too fast and now its all he could focus on. “I mean I have a surprise for you after this is all done.”
He tried to say that was innocently as possible to mixed results. He gave behaving a good old college try but in the end he cant stop what he is. We will leave Delilah to answer that question.
“True but I would try and stay away from your slaps…and kicks. Those hurt more”

| astronomizzle ♧ gryffinDORK | & the rest is drag ♣ #badluckDerf Oh? A surprise? If she had been paying more attention to the discussion and less so on the trolls and their performances (particularly fretting over the one whose slipper had come untied a bit and not it seemed like tripping on either those or the ribbons they were dancing with truly inevitable) it is very likely that she would have followed his train of thought. However, this was not the case and so her eyes widened with wonder as she rested her chin on his shoulder. "Really?"
She would have given him a playful but firm tap on the arm for that comment...had it not been for the inevitable finally coming to pass on stage. It was like one of those quidditch collisions that you could not look away from despite desperately wanting to. Or, well, Delilah did tend to watch a lot of matches from the gaps between her fingers because she was nervous for the players at such top speeds so it was not a perfect comparison. In any case, ribbons knotted, slipper ties stepped on, tutu's yanked, and massive bodies toppled. A majority of the audience erupted into laughter, herself not among them, as the curtains fell on the stage suddenly and it announced that the show was over. Thank you, enjoy the rest of your day at the Scamander Zoo.
"Oh...my...you don't think any of them are injured, do you?"

We know it's hard to pick which trolls to focus on Delilah. You probably made the right decision and choose the ones on stage and not the one leaning on you. Alright Alright back to real trolls, David could have told you before even getting here that giving some trolls and ribbons like that would only lead to disaster. But he loved to be proven wrong. “Really Really. But I want it to be a surprise”
And look David was right. It was like it was all happening and slow motion and he had to admit this made it all worth it. Even if he wanted to see the thunderbird more. He could not help but laugh at the absurdity of it. Trolls tripping. He needed a good laugh.
“You would think that first” the idiot nudged her lightly. “Im sure they have some people in the background to handle it. I would be shocked if this is the first time something like that happened. Did you enjoy it even with my meddling?”
The most important question right there.

The most important question right there. As if she could not be more enchanted with him.
Smiling, Delilah lifted her finger to poke his nose. "You're sweet." And, really, whatever the surprise ended up being - even one that he thought up on the spot at the last second and had not been the initial plan at all - she was sure to be delighted by it.
There was just something about this that was unsettling, but it did not stop her from giggling nonetheless. "I'm sure you're right," she nodded before slipping her hand into his. "Where to next?"
