Welcome to Gaia! ::

Lately, Aogashima had been garnering interest in people who might want to explore her wonder with her, utilizing her signet ring to send out messages, though she hadn't gotten a lot of responses so far. In all fairness, she should have remembered that not everyone had their rings, because even her own sister didn't have hers, but Aogashima had really wanted to take people with her to visit Aogashima Theatre, because what other sort of secrets might be uncovered with more people exploring with her?

Well, also, she was hoping still to be able to get together a group of people to put on performances with, somewhere in the (hopefully) near future once everything was in some sort of working order and cleaned up a little more.

Summer weather meant daytime was too hot for any outdoor dance practice until the sun set beyond the horizon. Arguably (if you asked her sister), she was weird for not just visiting the local community center to practice there, or just rent space out at a dance studio, but Aogashima liked to practice outdoors! If anything, practicing outdoors helped to make new friends when she did it at night while powered up.

Speaking of new friends, Aogashima realized someone was approaching her, another squire, and turned to raise her hand in greeting. "Hi there! ...You don't happen to be here because of my message, do you?"

"A museum, huh... I bet my sister would like that," Aogashima mused, though from her expression it didn't seem like the concept interested her all that much, "She's a knight, too, and I've been to her wonder before- it's a big library?"

Maybe she'd direct Voyager in her sister's direction next, but given that (again) that Hakodate was very busy with her studies and didn't have her signet ring... maybe not.

"Hey, it's okay!" Aogashima assured Voyager, eagerly shaking his hand, "You're here now, and that's what counts!"

"Okay! Hold on tight- but um, not too tight, and don't let go!" Aogashima replied, grinning broadly, and summoned her weapon. The words came easily, as she'd visited many times now, and in no time flat, they were outside the entrance to the grand castle-like structure that housed Aogashima's wonder. The sky was still the perpetual iridescent-colored twilight sky as always, full of a light scattering of stars, but it never failed to amaze Aogashima, and brighten up the Cosmos Squire's day whenever she saw it, as if it was her first time visiting.

The weather was pleasant as well, with minimal cloud cover and a light springlike breeze; Aogashima the wonder didn't have much in the way of seasons, and its climate mimicked something similar to an equatorial one on Earth.

"Here we are! Aogashima theater." the squire announced, as soon as they had arrived.

"I'm glad, too!" Aogashima said cheerfully, "This place makes me really happy, y'know? So I'm happy to bring others here to enjoy and appreciate it, too!"

She didn't really have a good grasp on how other knights felt about their respective wonders, but she assumed the feeling was relatable enough, as she led Voyager inside the building. There were definitely the tell-tale signs of where the passage of time had taken its toll on the structure, but also, with Aogashima and friends' combined efforts, where progress had been made on restoration. Of course, just Aogashima's constant visits alone helped to aid in her progress, but there was certainly still a ways to go.

"There's still a lot that I haven't explored yet, but my sister and I have been making progress! I hope that one day, I can get things really fixed up, 'cause I'd really like to put on a show here someday." the squire explained, rambling on as she tried to think of where to show Voyager first. Should she play it safe, and show him to the auditorium, or perhaps check out the upper levels, where the living quarters and practice rooms were?

The backstage was also a possibility, as they could stop there as part of the process of visiting the auditorium, though Aogashima wondered if it was safe to show Voyager her stash of various props and costumes she had started to store up here. The costumes were all either handmade or bought online, but the prop weapons... well.

It'd been a few years since the petite Cosmos squire had graduated from secondary school, and she didn't think the school had ever really noticed her smuggling things out into space and all that. And if they did, well, word of it had never gotten back to her? Maybe she was overthinking things- it'd probably be fine, because she could always just explain it away as having bought those online too? It wasn't as if there were a great many number of people who went to the same school as she did who might be of the powered persuasion, after all.
