JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Neon Soul

CHAPTER 14: Jamba

"Now, if I was a creepy old thing, where would I be?" Jorgia asked herself as she entered the planetarium. The interior was much larger than how it had appeared on the outside. Large painted spheres both hung from the ceiling and were situated on platforms on the floor. Some resemble moons, while others resemble planets and stars. In front of each model was a small screen that continually shuffled information regarding the characteristics of the model. The ceiling of the large room was dotted with tiny lights and, when combined with the rest of its dark background, created the appearance of outer space. Stanchions with designs similar to the ceiling created a pathway from exhibit to exhibit. A large sun model with more minor planets orbiting it was at the center of the room, mimicking the solar system. At the back end of the room were two large doors with a luminescent green sign above it that read 'viewing theatre,' while on the left and right sides of the room were doors that read 'Gift Shop' and 'To Observatory.' The room was relatively empty as only a few people were inside.

"Ah, this feels nice. They always keep these types of places air-conditioned."

"It's not going to be out in the open, but with a room as spacious as this, I don't see many nooks and crannies someone could put it in, assuming it's small and not a large sarcophagus or something," Jorgia thought. As she walked, she began to stare at the ceiling. The twinkling lights and the faint hues of blue and purple were mesmerizing and seemed endless. And without looking, she bumped into a woman who was staring at an exhibit of Jupiter.

"U-Uh, sorry, I wasn't looking where I was going," she said, apologizing. The woman was on the taller side with long blonde hair and brown eyes. She had very clear skin and looked to be in her mid-30s. She had golden 'S' shaped earrings that hung down, wore makeup, and was exceptionally beautiful. She reached out her hand and pulled Jorgia up.

"Oh, you're good! I'm not even supposed to be loitering like this anyway, but I just couldn't help admiring the planets. My daughter loves this place, so I'm here a lot."

"Do you have a favorite one?" asked the woman. Jorgia thought about the question for a moment, looking at the models around her.

"Hmmm. I'd have to say Saturn. It's so cool, and it's the only planet with rings that big."

"Saturn is an interesting one! Did you know that Saturn is the farthest planet you can see without a telescope? And one year on Saturn is 29 Earth years! How wild is that?!" she exclaimed.

"Oh, and my name is Scarlett, by the way! It's nice to meet you!"

"Hi, Scarlett. Say, have you seen anything bizarre around here lately? I'm looking for something, but I'm not really sure where to look," asked Jorgia.

"Something bizarre? I don't think I've seen anything that's stood out," she answered.

"Oh well, don't worry about it, I'm sure I'll find it. It was nice meeting you, Scarlett!" waved Jorgia as she started to walk away.

"Bye!" waved Scarlett with a smile.

"That girl seemed so familiar. I feel like I've seen her before. I'm so terrible with faces, though. She had such luscious hair too. Anyway, I need to keep my eye out for those kids Bianco told us about."

Suddenly, Scarlett's phone began to ring. She reached into her handbag and, as she was rummaging through it, she spotted the pictures that Bianco had sent to each of the Eight. She pulled them out with her phone and answered it.

"Hi D, yeah, I'm at the planetarium... huh... she's acting up again? Here, put me on, I'll talk to her... Hey, girly what's wrong... it was closed? Well, I'm sorry, but you'll just have to wait until tomorrow then... hey... hey... Yana... no it's okay you can go with Daddy tomorrow... well, I'm sorry, sweetie, but you'll just have to wait... I'll be home later, ask Daddy to take you to the park... Thank you, Yana. I love you... bye. I know... she can get so upset sometimes; I'll see you later D... yeah I'll be careful... love you too... bye."
