Welcome to Gaia! ::

And, once again, Ignacio cheered for her not being last, which considering his own performance in comparison, was rather amusing--

"Ah, practice," he rubbed his neck. "I play pretty often, honestly. And ... often have my a** kicked," he spotted, in the corner of the screen, the blip showing that his sister was online. "My sister is very, very good at this game. I had to practice to keep up. It gets easier over time."

Not like he ever got better than her.

Ignacio would have grumbled a bit at that if he wasn't so distracted by the combination of Livie getting the hang of it and the continued mystery of her wonder. She did have a point: a garden would have plants, and it sounded like all she had was benches and dirt patches. He snickered at the concept of an "avant-garde space cathedral," and honestly, saying it was a botanical gardens--he heard that, Richard, a plant museum was also just a plant museum--didn't necessarily disclude that, but.

"Our homeworlds and wonders are often dead when we first awaken. It's our awakening and our strengthening and taking care of that world that brings it back to life. You could just be seeing dirt because all the plants are long dead." He was going to guess it worked the same for the Moon. Hopefully, he wasn't giving bad information. "As we take care of our places in space, the purposes they served also become more obvious. Plant and animal life return. Maybe if you plant a few plants in the dirt and then come back, more plants will sprout?"

It was a thought. He was also curious about Richard's statement -- the other buildings might have given a clue for the purposes of the glass one, too.

He snorted at the concept of Knight Instagram, but admittedly, he liked the idea of seeing some pictures of Basiluzzo's wonder.

An in-between, maybe.

Wasn't enough, he wouldn't show his own husband, but--

"Could talk to Vi about the concept of social media for our senshi and knight devices -- but Arra, I think I'd like some pictures too."

Livie was pretty sure that she knew the name of the spiky-shelled turtle, but she didn't wanna come across as a know-it-all quite yet. In another couple of weeks, though? All bets were off.

"Well, it's cool that she likes that one," she said, a determined spark in her eye, "Cause when I get good enough that I stop running into bananas and stuff and I can, like, race battle the master, I wanna be the princess."

That was gonna be a long way away, since she was still in a constant battle to stay out of last place, but if this was a family pastime or something, she was determined to get good enough to hold her own.

"I can put planting flowers on the idea list for sure," she said, although it was a little more complicated than Ignacio made it sound. How did you know what flowers grew on the Moon? Also, how did you even plant flowers? Alexa had never been much of a nature person. Maybe Livie could be, but it'd take a lot of learning.

"And yeah, I'm totally gonna bug Viatrix until she makes Knightsagram, just like I'm gonna bug Richard until he gives us space pictures," she said, and as the race finished with her in second to last place, she looked over to wiggle her eyebrows at Richard.
