If there's one thing Luca loves, it's learning about and engaging with human culture. Dressing up is pretty high on the list of things he loves, too. And sure, there are lots of gaps in his knowledge about human TV shows, but the second he finds out there's a show where the main group of characters are all named after planets (plus the moon), he knows exactly who he's going to dress up as, even if he doesn't really know the plot or the characters.
It just takes a green wig and a sailor scout dress and he's transformed into Sailor Neptune. Who he selected because Neptune, the association with the sea, and it just seemed perfect. Alberto's there at the convention dressed as Sailor Uranus because...well, that's just the one he picked, it doesn't matter why.
He's glad he brought plenty of money, too, because all the booths filled with brightly colored merch and art is catching his eye, and he knows he and Alberto will be going home with a lot of stuff.
As he slowly moves with the crowd, he'll also leave through the brochure they got when they came in, commenting, "Oh! And there's a bunch of panels, too! Where you can learn stuff like costuming and drawing! I definitely have to go to some of these!"
Crystal Rain
When the clouds begin to darken much faster than Luca can get to shelter it's bad enough, especially when the rain forcefully pours down onto him, forcing him to instantly change into his sea monster form. He races under an awning, noticing it's strangely more difficult to run than it usually is, and only noticing the crystals that had formed once he makes it to safety. He runs his fingers over the crystals, breaking one off to look at it.
"What is this?"
Mysterious Fathoms Below
A city that fell into the ocean? Who could possibly be more equipped to help with that than Luca, who literally grew up in the sea? Of course, he's still young enough to need a chaperon because apparently Zodiac has different ideas of what constitutes 'the most equipped to handle this', but that shouldn't be too hard, right?
Luca stands outside near where the submarine is docked, looking around and trying to spot anyone that seems like the type to sign on to be someone's adult supervision.
The Lost City of Atlantis
Fortunately, Luca gets what he was looking for when Jamie agrees to take him on the submarine. Once they reach the city, he spends his time exploring. He samples the food, watches several performances with rapt attention, and tries to learn all he can from the Atlanteans. He's having a lot of fun...until the whole barrier shakes.
He runs to see what it is...then stops when he sees the giant sea serpent. A sea monster. He knows it's not a sea monster in the same way that he is, that it's probably just an animal, and he has no idea why it would attack, but still...
"Do...do we have to fight it? I don't want to fight it."
And many people probably think he's afraid. And he is, the creature is large and powerful and could probably eat Luca in one gulp, but he also just feels bad, and wishes there was some other way. Something they could do to lure it away. It somehow feels wrong to Luca to hunt this creature the same way he was hunted, though he can understand that it's different. This creature is actually dangerous, it's not like him and Alberto.
Fortunately, it's not something he'll really have to deal with, because no one's going to blame a kid for staying behind and letting others do the fighting. He'll just stay back, watch from a distance and hope for the best.
