( a visit to a museum is a search for beauty, truth, and meaning in our lives. )
in the G R E E K / R O M A N section - you are strangers who happen upon each other at the museum. what do you talk about? is it a debate about art or pure smalltalk? will you want to meet again?
a stop at the C A F E - all that wandering around art and history has made you hungry. how's the food here, dull or delicious? sit down and have a talk or see if you can smuggle a snack with you into the next exhibit without getting caught!
special E X H I B I T on the first floor - you've arranged to meet here! is it a romantic date or just a bit of a good time with friends or family? are you fascinated by what you see or already bored before you get started? under any circumstances, enjoy your outing together!
T O U R this way, follow along - you've signed up for the tour! are you alone or with someone? do you ask questions with interest or hang back and whisper among yourselves? are you actually more interested in your phone? do you maybe get lost on the way?
before "W O M A N with black S T O C K I N G S" - these paintings are rather raunchy and you're both suddenly feeling like a little round of public sex. well, this is your chance! who will see you behind that statue, that column or in that corner anyway?
E X I T, emergency only - is there a scenario that hasn't been covered or something else you'd like to do at the museum? this is your option!
How to play -
1. Comment with your character's name, fandom and preferences in the subject line.
2. Others comment to your top level with an option for a scenario and either leave a starter or ask you to start the scene.
The world isn't as impermeable as Ganymede might once have thought - not even time itself is - and sometimes people end up where and when they distinctly shouldn't be. Usually, though, they also end up back home, sooner or later.
So until then, is it so very selfish of him to be pleased to know the current one? He's done what he can, to help. He's not too sure the museum is the best place... or maybe, really, it is.
"See anyone you recognize?" Ganymede says, his tone partially teasing, but mostly quietly sympathetic as he comes up to stand beside Cleïs in front of a couple busts. Ending up so far in the future is jarring enough, but to be able to go around a place like this and see proof of what was (should still be) one's present presented as a distant past...
Ganymede lived through it all, and it sometimes feels jarring for him too.

Peter's school is on a field trip which, historically, have not been kind to the teenager so while his class is off milling about and looking at pictures, Peter is staying well away from anything that looks like he could somehow accidentally knock it over. Something bad is going to happen and he knows this because something bad always happens when he's on a field trip he's just hoping he can keep it from involving a phone call to May explaining he accidentally broke priceless art in a London museum.
Art's not really Peter's thing either but he can still appreciate it just fine. He glances around the exhibit, taking in the sculptures from a safe distance and getting no where near any of the oil paintings.
"This room making you uncomfortable, penis?" One of his classmates asks, a few of the other giggling. Peter just fixes him with a look but doesn't otherwise say anything since he's definitely not trying to start a fight here, of all places. "Better be careful though, if you spaz out like you usually do, you could end up having to sell yourself to the museum."
Peter suppresses a sigh as Flash and his friends go back to whatever they were doing before. "That didn't even make sense." He mutters to himself before noticing he's not the only one standing away from the exhibits. "Uh! Hi! He was just kidding. That's all."
[They finally had some shore leave and Eli was quite excited to get out and about. They had plans to explore one of the museums that had a nice art exhibit going on. He knew that Thrawn would really enjoy it. Later they would go to a nice restaurant that Eli had pre-booked for and supposedly a really good place. He wanted this to be special since it wasn't often they got to go on an actual date and not worry about hiding it. Here no one would recognize them.
He found himself impatiently waiting for Thrawn to finish up last minute buisness before they set off.]
Ever since he'd been bitten by a radioactive Spider Peter found he was almost always hungry. He and Ned attributed it to his extremely fast metabolism. It's that reason he's sitting in the cafe eating a large slice of pizza. It probably won't hold him over for long but it's at least something.
He's enjoying the pizza too, his class is off in the line at the moment and Peter taking some time by himself to look around before Ned and MJ get back. He spots someone at another table that he's pretty sure is Captain America. He's not sure why the man would be at the cafe of an art museum when he's a supposed war criminal but hey, his life. His life choices. And he's pretty sure he remembers reading something about Steve Rogers being an artist.
Should he approach? He glances back towards his class and bite his tongue before deciding to just go for it. He packs up his pizza and moves over, still a little nervous that he might be wrong. But he is really pretty sure.
"...Uh... So... um... Are you Captain America?" Good job Peter, just go ahead and ask right out-that's probably not rude. "I mean, if you're not then uh-I mean you really do look just like him-and that's-that's a compliment by the way."

They are newlyweds, and it was meant to be a relaxing day to spend time together. Mu has a taste for culture, as he typically wears his robes of an era from long ago. Visiting the museum to walk around the galleries and contemplating on the art and sculptures.
When afternoon came and he's tired to walk anymore. "My feet hurt. How about we eat lunch at the cafe to rest for a bit?"
[The café, or (of course) the greek/roman section. Probably even in front of a statue with a very particular subject... Or, for something more serious, maybe that special exhibit is about Troy?]
[ basic info - tldr: she's the reincarnation of persephone something her mom has kept secret from her her whole life. maybe kori is either having dreams of ancient greece or actually knows and is trying to reconnect with everything. so greek section for sure! ]
[Crosscanon/aus/assumed cr are all good, with vague potential thoughts as follows:
Greek/Roman: Most likely small talk, or questions if you come off as particularly knowledgeable about whatever you're looking at. She's not eager enough for a flex to debate, but idle meetings of any stripe are all well and good.
Cafe: Odds are high she's hogging a table in the journey to try every single drink, you could comfort her as she finds to her distress that almost every drink on offer is gross (where is tea! why no tea!), would 12/10 be trying to smuggle snacks around the rest of the museum, amenable to conversation.
Special exhibit: With minor assumed jamjar-level familiarity sorts of cr she could absolutely be inviting anyone along with intent of Friending at you until you Become Friend, also probably a fine first-or-second pseudo-date, for an obligatory ship option. She's probably pretty entertained throughout - museums aren't terrain she's familiar with and she likes new things, odds are low she'll be bored.
Tour: Probably good for bumping into people! She's a near-silent hanger-on at the very back, more or less here to kill time but enjoying herself well enough.]
[Probably here for reasons other then looking at the paintings, but might get sucked into examining some of the more fascinating ones anyway. Huh. Look at that one over here...]
[More likely here in his civilian persona then his superhero one. And likely is trying to be evicted by the museum security who is tired of the semi-homeless guy creeping out other people who are coming to enjoy the art.]
[Gonna go with a modern AU version for this meme. He's is ( of course) checking out the Norse artifacts in the ancient cultures section of the museum. Expect him to be the type of guy who knows a little bit about almost every type of art shown.]
[ If there's anything about art or architecture, Victor is there. It's possible he's even got a small notebook and doing little drawings of things he finds interesting. ]
"I always figured you more for art museums, not natural history."
A joke on her part. In truth, Sonya was just surprised to see the Lin Kuei master among civilians; then again, this wasn't her usual domain either. However, with the holidays coming up, she's making an effort to try and spend more time off Base and with her family.
