The Swepan Natural History Museum is a great place.  There are two expansive floors filled with exhibit after exhibit and hundreds of places two very clever children could hide in for the night.  It's not hard to blend in with the museum crowd.  Backpacks, and passes, they can blend in with big families or with any school tour that happens to be

Taiki thinks the museum is a brilliant place. They'll get on very well here. Everywhere he looks there's something to look at and read -- lots of dead things and pretend scenes and old clothes.

Hefting his trademark Oversized Pack, Taiki sticks close to Lisbeth as they wander around.

"Where do you want to stay? I think in the mummy room." He doesn't bother to whisper. No one is paying attention to them.

Lisbeth was almost about to say: you want to sleep with a mummy? But stops herself. It seems that saying that to him is in poor taste. It makes sense, staying in the mummy room, it's dark and it's pretty clear that whoever watches the place at night isn't too keen to go in there and poke around.

"Okay," she agrees with a nod of her head. "The mummy room sounds good," and she starts off that way.

"A scene is being built in one part. There are fabric walls." It's not as difficult to keep up with Lisbeth as it used to be. His legs are longer and he can shuffle along beside her.

After weaving through a large group their path opens up some. Taiki looks up at the ceiling -- at the oddities suspended above them and the patterns painted on the roof.

Indeed there is, a part of the exhibition is under construction and people are scarce. Easy to slip in unnoticed and since it is late in the afternoon everyone is gone. No need to stay any later then necessary, it's not like they are in much of a rush. History tends to stay in place, it is not as though the mummies will change if they nip out early on a Friday afternoon.

"I'm hungry," she tells him. Not that she had to, he can pick up on those types of things, plus her stomach is growling.

Taiki wanders towards the display, head tilting back as he gets closer. Big ribs. Big pelvis. Big... teeth. Black eyes shift to the long long neck of the plant-eating dinosaur. He follows the line of the spine down to the tip of the tail.

So cool.

Lisbeth goes through the exhibit reading the little panels with the flashlight that she's holding. This is really something, for some reason, in the dark she almost imagines them coming alive and moving in the dark of the museum.

"Do you want to go up?" He asks, nodding towards the tall raised platform. "I will give you a boost." Walk among the dinosaurs, indeed.

[wasplisbeth]

"There might be an alarm on the platform," she looks over at him. "In case kids try and climb up there to touch the bones." But boy does she want to climb up on there. It's a long platform with a whole bunch of different types of dinosaurs on it.
