Voyager felt a bit nervous as he readied himself to go back to his Wonder once more. It had been far too long since he had gone there and he hoped that what had opened up to him hadn't been taken away. He would rather not having to do everything again, though he still had his ring with him. At least he knew that hadn't changed. His ghost ancestor couldn't take that away right?! He let out another sighed and put a hand on the back of his head, looking out towards the stars, unable to tell which was what except for a few constellations. If he was going to be a Pluto Knight and "Voyager" of all things, he needed to start learning them at least! Still, he needed to go back, there was no doubt about it. It would be nice to get away from all of the snow for a bit as well. Still it was a bit weird preparing for the trip near the museum that he worked at, but he couldn't do it near his house either. So outside was best. He looked to make sure that he had packed everything away which kept him from noticing anything around him for the moment. If there had been a Youma, he would be dead meat!

Not a youma, but certainly something that wouldn't have been welcome in certain social circles. As a Mauvian, Namielle had had her fair share of sobering experiences in recent months and had been forced to consider what her part in all of this was meant to be. If she could have turned back time, rushed back to advise them of what would happen and all they would lose, would she do it? Or in the end, was the consequence of that tragedy something that far outweighed the cost?
She had heard rumours, yet hadn't yet had the courage to look beyond Earth to see the if those murmurs and musing (even from her closest) were true. Life upon new worlds, regions unlocked that had once been untouched, even the birth of new knights.
...And the return of senshi long assumed dead.
With no answers forthcoming and her courage somewhat lacking, the Mauvian had settled on doing her best to keep an eye on those senshi who didn't have a Mauvian of their own. She kept an eye on Knights too (though her expertise was limited), and as such, when she took note of the pulse of a familiar energy nearby she saw fit to investigate as a precaution. It was there that she found Voyager, preparing for something, though not in quite as frenzied a fashion as she'd seen others.
That was probably a good thing.
"If the stars could talk, what do you think they would say?" she asked after a few moments, a wry smile on her lips as she drew closer. "I wonder how they must feel when they see us preparing to traverse their home," she added.

Voyager couldn't help but jump a little at the voice he heard, dropping something in the process. Luckily it was just a snack but he was very glad he hadn't been holding his artifact from Athalia. He looked around and then spotted where the voice had come from, taking a moment to look at the voice's owner before he finally felt his heart beating again, recovered from the shock. "You scared me." He said with a smile, picking up the snack and putting it in the backpack that he was taking along with him. He took a moment to look up at the stars before turning back to his newest nighttime acquaintance. "I think it would depend on the star, but I believe they would be quite happy for those that they are waiting for to come back home." He was convinced. He was sure that no celestial body wanted to be all barren and lifeless. "I was just making sure I had everything I needed before I went back to my Wonder. It's been too long. And the place needs a good dusting." He said with a chuckle. "I'm Voyager." Suddenly he got an excited look in his eye. "You want to come with me to my Wonder?"

Of course. Knights didn't have the power of an entire planet behind them. Though they might reside on a planet, it seemed that their power was derived from elsewhere. She didn't pretend to understand it, but one day she aimed to have a much greater understanding of exactly what was going on in that particular sect of the White Moon.
Still, though she had been granted the opportunity to see some planets, her journeys to others had been few and far between. She could certainly claim she knew of one or two intimately, but for the others? Not so much, a cursory glance perhaps, but nothing more, and that was a shame if she did say so herself...
"You would be welcoming of a companion?" she asked after a moment.
Truthfully, she couldn't help but smile at the warm reply he'd given. She hadn't expected much of a reply, but he had still seen fit to give her one and those were manners she would appreciate.
"I don't believe we've met Voyager, and if we have, then my sincere apologies," she added after a moment. "My name is Namielle though, or just Nami if you'd prefer."

"Of course!" He said, perhaps with too much enthusiasm, like that of a child that really really wanted to show something to an adult. He managed to realize what he was doing and dial it back a bit. "Actually, I would like to have regular visitors to my Wonder eventually. It appears to have been used for... collecting things from other planets. As a museum archivist, I would love to extend my knowledge that I learn from other Homeworlds, Wonders, and other things having to do with all of this and set them up on my Wonder so that other people may be able to learn about them as well."He took a breath after his little speech had ended and then gave her a grin. "Nami then! I can't say that the Wonder is in the best of shape, but it will get there eventually!" He said, extending a hand out to her now that he had everything that he needed with him. "I'm going back now to put an artifact that I got from a Homeworld I visited and put it on display. My first!" He said, practically beaming in excitement. "Maybe you might recognize something up there too? I would love if someone did. It would give me more information at least."

How intriguing. She'd been to some homeworlds that show themselves to be large templates, the one she'd spent most of her time on had monoliths everywhere. Heck, there was even a giant set of pyramids on that one... But in the end it was more of a 'sight' to behold, than something that could be explored at leisure.
...Not that she would criticise anyone's world, but when it came to what Voyager hoped to achieve, there was something very nice about it. A place where people could go, they could wander around at their own pace, and potentially review objects from far off places. It was a place where she could discuss, debate, and perhaps even be inspired by the genius of other species.
At least that was her take on it.
"Will it have plaques?" she asked curiously. "To explain what they are... Or is that more of a guided tour thing?" she added. She'd have taken either, but plaques were normally her preferred, with an option to ask more questions later if the opportunity arose!
However what caught her interest was that someone had already given him a trinket! She had no doubt that others would be equally generous, but it seemed like this piece would at least help him get the idea off the ground.
"Oh neat, is it cool? Does it do anything?" she asked. "Or is it like...I don't know, a piece of jewellery?" she continued.
A pause.
"Not that jewellery is bad, fashions on other planets are fascinating, I'm just a big fan of trinkets," she confessed.

Voyager frowned. "At this point it doesn't, but there are notes from where they came from and such. I'm going to get plaques later." When he was pretty sure the wall of the ship wouldn't collapse. As good as it looked, he couldn't be too sure that the structure was holding up well. "I might add something to guide people through, but I think it will be self-guided. I'll have a map up so others don't get lost." There currently was a map in the Captain's room but it appeared to be a bit out-dated and half of the ship wasn't even available to him at the moment. There was a lot of work to be done. He chuckled at the Mauvian's enthusiasm. "Uh, actually it's from Athalia and it's some sort of... singing crystal is the best way to put it. I'm sure it could be made into jewelry, but I'm not sure if that would take away it's sound properties."He finally had everything gathered up and extended a hand. "It's time to get going if you're still willing. We can go back whenever you want."

"Well, something to work on as it gets better then," she smiled warmly. She wasn't sure if Knight wonders functioned in the same manner as the larger planets did, but if they did, then it was likely that he could achieve what he wanted. A little bit of spit and polish might be needed, maybe some heavy lifting and an artist hand here and there, but in time it would probably look absolutely fantastic.
However as she was pulled away from her musings in regards to his wonder when he mentioned a name she was rather familiar with. Since when did Athalia have singing stones? More importantly, why had she not been informed of this intriguing find and why hadn't she been given one? She had half a mind to be incensed, but at the same time, if Voyager had one then did that mean that a certain gruff man might be forming some bonds...
"Maybe we can get you a spare before we try that, eh?" she asked after a moment and shook her head. "If he isn't using them he can spare more, just ask him," she gave a wave of her paw. To be entirely honest she would be asking him for one in order to conduct her own research on them! They might not do anything significant in the long term, but that didn't mean that she wanted to be left out of the fun!
"Ahem, but yes!" she padded towards him and gave a firm nod. "Let's get this show on the road. I've never see a Wonder so you'll be my first!" She admitted warmly.

Voyager grinned. "I'll ask him the next time I see him then!" He said, wondering if he would be able to get more. He was already very grateful for the one he had been allowed to take, being able to take another one would be even better! "I'm sure it will become something to look at if I spend time at it. That's the part I need to work on." He said with a chuckle. He bent down and grabbed her, pulling her up to his chest. "Hope you don't mind." He said before he uttered his oath and they found themselves in a dark area with only a few torches leading them to the Wonder. "Sorry, we'll see it soon. Just have to walk down the path here." He said, putting the Mauvian down and moving forward, making sure that she was following him. It was only a minute or two and they finally found themselves at the Wonder. Viatrix would find herself standing in front of what appeared to be an incredibly large pirate ship (think PotC and size as one of those very large cruise ships) with the front of the ship, the keel, hull, and the first set of sails in a destroyed and decayed state. The rest of it didn't look much better, but it at least seemed stable compared to the front of it. "Here we are!" Voyager exclaimed. "Not much to look at on the outside and I need to to a lot more dusting on the inside, but it's safe. At least from the parts I've been able to get to."Epine de Rose sorry if that was quick, wanted to get them to the Wonder

She was accustomed to being manhandled, in a manner of speaking it was what it was to be 'a cat'. Whether it be an adult or a small child, someone was lifting her or poking at her, it was simply what it was to be a feline sometimes. Fortunately Voyager seemed to be considerate enough not to squish her eyeballs out of their sockets and before she knew it she had been transported to a darkened path. Ah, well evidently that was another thing they had in common...he and the wayward senshi seemed to have a thing for dark lairs.
"Spooky," she cooed teasingly, though she was following along obediently while she admired the view. So this was what it was to be in a Wonder, to be on a planet ruled by some missing senshi. It was a curious thing to be sure and certainly had a different vibe, but that hint of magic was still very much there.
No sooner had her eyes adjusted to the low light than she was finally introduced to what his Wonder actually was. Namielle's jaw dropped ever so slightly, okay so yes giant monoliths and pyramids were neat, but this was a freaking massive ship. It was in need of some TLC (but what magical world wasn't), and if she could be of service she certainly would, but damn if it wasn't already and impressive sight to behold.
"So we have these robots Orias made at home," she waved a paw when he mentioned dusting. "He calls them Butlers, they're like little roombas," she raised an eyebrow thoughtfully. "Want me to steal a few for you and put them here? They can do your dusting for you while you're away," she offered. Orias wouldn't mind, he'd just build more (much to Athalia's chagrin), but if they could be of some use to someone else and make their life easier then she'd pilfer some.
"It's awesome, but definitely in need of a lick of paint," she agreed after a moment and pursed her lips. "So where are we storing this relic, want to give me the grand tour of your proposed route?" she asked curiously.

Voyager couldn't help but chuckle. "If I can use them that would be great. Much easier than going around dusting all of this myself." At least he hoped it was mostly dust. He wasn't sure how much wind Pluto usually got, but the surrounding area was basically a huge sand sea so if that was ever swept up by the wind his Wonder would have no chance against it. He pointed out a wooden bridge leading to a hole in the ship. "You see that hole over there? Well technically it's a doorway but that's where we're going. I don't have too much access to the Wonder yet, but we'll be able to look around a bit." He said as he started to move over to it. "It's safe. Doesn't even creak or anything!" Well, it did a little, but at least it didn't sound like it was going to break just from someone walking on it. And if what he had heard about Wonders and Homeworld was correct, hopefully it was just a bit stronger by him being back here again. He found his way inside and it was dark except for some candles that were still lighted. He had wondered the first time if they wouldn't go out because time worked differently on Pluto. Or perhaps it was just such and unknown world that there was something else that kept them from going out.

"If I can't steal a few I'll get the blueprints from him and build you one here that can run on its own," she smiled and followed him towards the Wonder, carefully taking in the scene and his remarks about its current state. In a way, the Wonders sounded a little like Homeworlds but seemed to have some nuances of their own. Voyager seemed to think that the more he was here the sturdier the ship would be while the more Athalia had visited his homeworld the more it has flourished.
...Well kind of, then it had gotten very ill again and he'd disappeared. It was 'better' now, but did that mean Voyager might one day suffer the same challenges? Deep down she hoped he would find a more comfortable means to strengthen this place and avoid the challenges that others faced. After all, the senshi she knew hadn't seemed inclined to discuss any of his experiences at all, and he'd seem changed.
"Do you think if we brought timber from home we could neaten that up?" she motioned to the door thoughtfully. "Then we could varnish it, put a nice little plaque on it," she added. Not that it was her home to customise but she was rather partial to sprucing things up!
They were soon inside, greeted by the soft light of the candles, and she squinted at what lay beyond. Yep, it smelled old and she could confirm that much at least but when it came to what she really wanted to do.
Well, it was safe here, right?
With a deep breath she concentrated her mind and made short work of her goal, in place of the feline the barefooted humanoid stood and she gave her fingertips and excited flex. This would afford her a chance to explore properly, including examining that odd little crystal he'd been gifted!
"So where are we going to put your first prize?" she asked curiously.
"And more importantly, where are we going to get the next one from?"

He thought for a moment and shrugged. "I don't see why not. I think it would it would really add to it. And we could decorate it any way we wanted." He said with a laugh. "I would love the plaque though. Do you know someone who knows how to make them?"He looked down the hallway, taking a moment to remember where the "treasure" room was. Right, down the stairs. "Follow me." He said, walking to the end of the hall and then starting down a set of stairs. "We'll be going to the first Treasure Room. Right now it's not totally in order, but there are a lot of items on the walls. Seems my Knight ancestors liked to show off." He said as he waited for the Mauvian turned semi-human to follow him before going down another set of stairs before coming to a door and opening it. Inside was a very large room lit by various candles. There were pedestals in the middle of the floor that contained various dusty items along with all sorts on the walls. Other small items on a wall display, paintings, maps, most everything that could be hung was on the walls. Some things were even hanging from the ceiling. But there was plenty of space as well. As large as the room was, it was just the first treasure room that he could access for now. He had to visit more often if he wanted to find the other ones. "I was thinking of putting it on one of these wall shelves in here and putting some glass around it. Maybe with a hole so that one could touch the crystal to show off it's "singing" ability. Finding the next one though? That's the question. I'll have to start visiting more places. I do believe I have something from another Wonder... but it's not like it was from me exploring." He said with a chuckle, moving over to a shelf that he quickly dusted off and began to work on getting the crystal set up. "Go ahead and have a look around. If there's anything you recognize or have information on I'm all ears. I've heard that a lot of these treasures were uh... not gained legally so I don't mind others taking back what belongs to them, but I would like information on them still." He put his backpack on the ground and shuffled around in it a bit before pulling out a blank notebook. "Not too fancy for now, but It's where I want to keep information on any items that are taken from here."
