He raised and eyebrow at how slowly the other agreed but shrugged it off for now. He would be here if Seung needed to talk and he hoped by now the older male knew that. "Okay. Do you have anything in particular you want me to bring, like a first aid kit?" Terry asked since it sound like Seung was still interested in him coming along with him. He wasn't sure what the other wanted at his Wonder so it was better to ask and have an idea so he could be prepared.

"No, going to bring one...and mattress...candles...lighter." He said already figuring on real candles rather than battery operated ones. He sort of liked the idea of lighting a bunch of real candles and the flickering light they'd give off. Was there anything else he might need? Maybe another pair of chop sticks for himself? A small table as well? It would have to be done over two trips - at least. And he'd have to purchase a few things...or everything. Some of it wouldn't be too expensive but some would be expensive.
He still wondered if somehow a computer would work up there, besides the basic programs such as word and a music player. He was wondering if the internet would work, which he doubted and that was sad. If only he could bring some modern things with him, things for entertainment, he would really enjoy things up there and would spend more time up there in the future.
"Want to make it...comfortable - livable up there." Or at least as much as it could be. He'd have to, eventually, do some serious cleaning as well. Summer vacation was a thing and that would be coming up in a few months. he could do some light cleaning in the lead up to that and once the summer was upon them he could really set about cleaning up things and seeing if he couldn't make it livable so he could spend stretches of time there if he wanted to.

"Okay, just let me know if you need me to carry anything there then." Terry said with a smile. He nodded at the want to make it more livable, understanding completely. "Should I bring cleaning supplies then? I imagine that your Wonder is at least as dusty as mine is." He said with a small smile. Speaking of his Wonder, he still needed to bring supplies up to it. He made a mental note to think about that later. "Sadly I doubt a vacuum cleaner would work very well but brooms and such would be fine." Though there were those vacuums that were small and possibly there was one that could be solar charged. Would probably be expensive though.

"Can help with mattress when I get it. Supplies for cleaning will be next trip, after this one, and will bring table also - for eating." And mats or pillows to sit on. He should bring some for the bed also and bedding. He had a list, on his phone, but clearly needed to add to it as he kept getting more ideas. There was a lot he wanted to bring up to his wonder so he could enjoy it, and not just him but also Terry.
"Wonder if..." Looking to the dog he smiled. "Yeong could come...bring him food and bring toys." but he could get hurt...but when he was trained he would be safe - right? The idea was very appealing to him, to have Terry and the puppy up there with him - together.

Terry nodded in agreement. "Sounds like a good plan to me." At the question he paused and thought about it. "Maybe? I know that we are fine at our Wonders and the database does say that you can bring civilians and they would be fine." He said after a moment. "Do you think your Wonder is safe enough for a curious puppy?" He asked, having not been there yet himself. He hadn't given any thought to possibly bringing Ace with him to Erebus but then again he didn't normally bring the kitten outside of the house like you would with a dog. "We could always see if there are areas where he would be safe in and keep him with in those?"

"Not yet, not till trained." But he would eventually want to bring him there, to show the puppy his wonder and bring him with him. The puppy was family and it would be nice to bring another form of life there with him, or them.
"Wait till trained...not sure if planet will support him - no magic." And he wasn't sure how it worked. Did a person need magic to survive up there? Would a normal civilian survive or no? Would his dog...he didn't want to risk Yeong's life just to bring him up with him.
"Will see what it looks like next time...don't trust floors in places...and chairs all over the place in theater." He said shaking his head lightly. It needed a lot of cleaning and repairs, it looked like it might have seen a fight but he wasn't sure. It wasn't safe for a puppy that wasn't trained though - that much he knew.

Erebus nodded, understanding that it would cut some of the danger once the pup was trained. "I'm not sure either. Like I said the database does mention that you can bring a normal civilian with you to planets and wonders but I haven't found anything just yet if normal animals are safe." And he knew that neither of them were willing to put Yeong in danger like that.
"Are we going to have to look into how to re-floor? Is it made of wood?" He asked with a thoughtful look. He was already planning on looking into a few different things for his wonder such as how to add windows seeing how the ones that had been in place were gone and broken so adding another thing to the list would not be trouble.

He didn't want to endanger him...but he also didn't want to bring some poor animal with him to test out and see if it was possible. What if it suffered or died? He might like to eat fish, might watch them be killed and cleaned, but that didn't mean he didn't wince, twitch, or in some way feel bad for the poor animal. He didn't like thinking about where his food came from, at least not the meat part of his meals. If he didn't think about it he could and enjoy his meals properly. If he thought about it he got sad, but still ate. He'd always had that issue though with food and eating. It didn't stop or hinder him from eating but it brought out tangled, conflicting, emotions in him at times.
"Wood, yes...some carpeting also..but it's moth eaten or...something. Curtains to...It's a big theater..." He hadn't thought about learning to re-floor but if he wanted to fix it and make it livable, for himself, Terry and a dog he needed to learn that. "Self help books?" He asked curious. If they had those at a book store he could learn, he supposed, and work on it slowly. It would take time, tools, and wood and money for it all. But he was willing to learn,. But how to do a stage floor when under it was a room? He'd have to show Terry and then they could figure things out and perhaps figure out questions to ask at a home improvement store?
"You will see when we go."

Maybe they would just have to ask some of the other Knights on if it was possible to bring normal animals with out them having problems. He wondered if Valhalla might know at least. He would hate to take a test animal to one of their Wonders only for it to die. On one hand it's important to know seeing how the only way to bring life back to the Wonders one day would be exporting but on the other he would hate to torture an animal for the information. "I wonder if we could test it on bugs though..." Bug's he felt less sorry for at least.
Terry nodded thoughtfully at Seung's suggestion. "We can go to the library or one of the books stores around." Or both depending on what was or wasn't found easily. It would probably be better to buy the books though seeing how they certainly weren't going to learn it in a three week period before having to return the books. "After we get a good idea on what needs to be done we can look up tutorial video's as well." He said with a smile.

Shifting on the others bed, getting comfortable, he wriggled up toward the pillows and let himself rest there, staring at the other. They could indeed ask another knight, one with more experience. it had been a thought but he didn't really know any other knights...at least none with a lot of experience expect that one...Camelot. But he'd only met him once...and would he even know?
"Maybe? Not different...still living and not person." So it should give a good idea- right? It would tell them a few things they could do with knowing.
"Yes...go tomorrow together to book store?" Since he was likely to not be able to figure out the titles or books or what they were about, especially if they had unusual and not to blunt titles. "Good plan...works for me."

Terry looked over at Seung and gave a small smile. "Yeah that's what I figured. Maybe we could bring some caterpillars or something. Some kind of bug that if they escape wont end up over running our Wonders at least." It wouldn't be a bad thing if butterflies over ran his Wonder but there was only dead plants and that wouldn't sustain them. But something like a cockroach was out of the question because just no.
"Sure. Want to make a list of topics to look for before we go?" While there would be sure to be something that came up later that they didn't have a book to help with, they could at least get an idea on where to start now.

"If we do...need to bring food sources too." He hoped they could at least do that and find some place to contain them, so they would be close to food. If they survived and became butterflies they'd need it. Rolling to lay on his stomach, hugging one of the others pillows, he nodded his head. "And add more as we go and see." They would likely wind up with a long list but together they could tackle it - right? It wouldn't be too much for the both of them, not when it wasn't like they were in a rush. They had time, they would need time anyway to get materials and to get them up there.
Stretching out along the others bed he turned onto his side and held an arm out toward the other and made a grabby hand toward him, wanting the other to join him. "Pen and paper - we can work on now?" At least the earlier topic of himself, his weight, his habits and such was a thing of the past. They were talking about something much nicer and easier. He just hoped Terry's worries were gone as well, he didn't like knowing the other was worried about him or in general even.

"Yes, maybe we could look into some of the terrariums for caterpillars? That way they could be contained where it would be easy to feed them." Terry suggested. "At least until we are sure we can bring enough food sources for them." He knew at his Wonder there was plenty of area to make a butterfly garden but the problem was whether it was possible. "Which means we have two things to test, if life can survive if carefully taken care of and if plants can grow." He would have to see about going to his Wonder soon to explore the river bed. Maybe there was a way to bring back some water.
He nodded and grabbed a pad of paper and a pen before joining Seung on the bed and laying nearby on his side facing him. He put the items in between them then drew a line down the middle of the page and labeled each half. One half was named testing and the other was labeled as restoring. He wrote down bug and plant under testing then looked thoughtfully over to the other side. "Should I split it farther up by Wonder's?" He asked. While the topics from earlier were not getting touched right at the moment, it wouldn't take much for them to fall right back into it.

"Wonder is a theater...no garden." No space for plants, none that he knew of yet anyway, he'd only been there once so maybe there was something there? He hadn't seen anything though and he couldn't picture anything being at a theater in the way of a garden or place for butterfly's and such to live. Maybe they could focus this effort on Terry's wonder, since it was more likely to work there as opposed to his own. Though the idea of bringing some plant to his own wonder was appealing. "yes...need to know about plants...water needs and light..." He said nodding his head.
"Need books on plants...can find online also." He said shifting a bit more, rubbing his legs together as he lay there watching as the other got a pen and pad of paper before joining him on the bed. Shaking his head at the others question. "Likely need same repairs." He said looking over what the other wrote. "Safer plants at your wonder...no where at mine."

"Hmm, maybe we should look into just a bug that wont mess up your Wonder if it got loose but one that wont need room to fly and try to keep it contained if nothing else?" He suggested. "Or maybe there is a room we could convert into an inside garden area?" That might require them taking down a wall or two then putting up glass so it could get a lot of light but he wanted to offer it up to see if Seung liked it, not wanting the other to be left out when bringing life back.
He gave a hum in agreement and started to write down a few things under the restoration section, such as water. "True. What we can't find in the bookstore could be found online." He wrote down a list of books topics to look for. "Let's see, windows, doors, flooring, roof repair, do we want to try and salvage some of the furniture or just want to either make some or buy some or both of the last options?"
