Welcome to Gaia! ::

Tre fixed her name tag on her vest before walking out of the staff area. She was smiling. A real smile. Not like those fake grimaces most of the others who worked there had. But she was honestly happy to be working there. She greeted an elderly couple, regulars who came in every other weekend. As always, she offered to tour them around. They declined, as always and shuffled on.

Tre hummed to herself a sort of childish song about a crescent moon until she saw someone else walk in. "Welcome to King's City Planetarium." She smiled. "Is this your first time?"

"Yes sir. You may call me either Trecia, or Tre, if you prefer. If this is your first time, we have guide books that might be interesting, but if you prefer, I would be more then happy to show you around, Simon." She could feel her cheeks grow just a little bit warm when he said her name was lovely. She tried to ignore it.

"Is... there anything in particular that you would like to see here? Or shall we just wander, and I can show you things of interest?"

She smiled at that. "Sounds good. Start at the center of our solar system." She waved for him to follow, or walk beside her, as she lead him to the central room, the sun room. Of course, it was obligatory to start with information. The mass and estimated weight of the sun, the life cycle of stars like the sun. There was another tour guide in the room, and every so often his voice carried over to them when he stumbled on his words before looking at his cheat sheet cards, and sewed information like a teacher vomiting facts at a student.

Tre however, was getting into it. And if it looked like Simon was bored with the facts she dove into mythology, how the sun was worshiped, and jokes about the sun and fertility. "If I'm ever boring you though, please, let me know."

"You know what they say, love what you do and you'll never work a day in your life." She smiled warmly. "Yes, Mercury is the next stop." She watched him and giggled at his gesture. "Mercury is a lot like the moon.... only a lot hotter."

"The planet was named for the Roman god of grain and commerce. But the Greek equivalent was a hermaphrodite." She laughed. She took him through Mercury, and Venus. But she had to stop and ask "Would you like me to take you through Earth, or would you like to go right to the moon? I know not everyone cares to learn about the planet we live on."

Tre smirks and nods. "Yeah. Besides. That's what earth science is for. Or biology, or physical science, right?" There was just way to much to know about this planet. And there was always more to learn.

Upon entering the moon exhibit, Trecia gestured towards the large model of the moon above them. "Did you know that people used to think there was water on the moon?"

"Of course!" Tre offered. And at length, she talked to him about the moon, the mythology surrounding the moon, and the phases. Simon seemed the most interested in the various 'lakes' the moon offered, so she spoke about them as in depth as she could.

This was why she loved this job. People listened. And sometimes people developed a new interest in the science after hearing the fiction. Not that she would get technical about it or anything. At least, not too much so.

As they went through the rest of the tour, Simon didn't seem as interested in the planets. A short run through them sort of made up for the amount of time they spent simply talking about the moon though. "Do you have any other questions?"

Tre tilted her head to one side, smiling at him. "You don't waste any time, do you?" Her tone wasn't unkind. It was playful. "Are you sure you want some nerdy little space girl like me to go with you?" She didn't particularly want to mention she had in fact not been to an arcade since she was in grade school. Though she did kick a** in Waka-waka Man and Street Brawler Arcade. "I get off at 5. Where should I meet you?"
