[ Oooh!!! Nico is absolutely looking at a big ol’ t-rex skeleton like it’s the coolest thing ever. Which, let’s be real, it pretty much is. ]

Is this some kind of dragon? A chimera, maybe?

[scooptimistic]

It's a dinosaur!

... Well, though, that might not actually explain anything to you.

[ Hm. ]

[crimsin]

[ Give him a second. ]

Oh! I have heard the stories! My people lost interest in them some millennia ago, I think, when our sciences advanced to making our own creatures.

[scooptimistic]

... Around the same time, or--

[ Hello? ]

[crimsin]

Oh, I do not think we have ever coexisted with dinosaurs. Their bones were found, much like this.

[ Motions to the skeleton. ]

Immortality often begets boredom, even with things we once thought wondrous.

[scooptimistic]

... Yeah, I don't think I could do it. Immortality, that is.

[ No thanks. ]

[crimsin]

I would not wish it on anyone. It is certainly not for the faint of heart.

[scooptimistic]

Sir, I'll have you know my heart is as stalwart as they come!

[ She's no pansy!! ]

[crimsin]

Oh, my mistake! Still, I would think you are the type to want to keep your humanity in-tact.

[scooptimistic]

Oh, I do. It's my favorite thing about me.

[ Simply. ]

[crimsin]

It is my favorite thing about you, too.

[scooptimistic]

Then we're in agreement!

I wonder if anything we find here is going to surprise you, though. It sounds like your people are pretty advanced.

[crimsin]

I am not here for surprises. I am here for the experience!

Besides, this world’s history and my own are not identical. There is sure to be something new around the corner!

[scooptimistic]

So you might be here for the surprises.

[ Well, okay. ]

Either way, let's find your favorite thing of this place!

[crimsin]

I am definitely here for something!

[ Okay!! ]

I like the sound of that, but we must find your favorite thing, too! It is only fair! Perhaps it will help me decide on a nickname.

[scooptimistic]

... Okay, so find something and make sure it's cute, for my own sake.

[ SO SERIOUSLY. ]

[crimsin]

Hey now. No tipping the scales!

[scooptimistic]

It could still be true!!

[ As she bounds ahead to check out an airplane. ]

[crimsin]

Uh-huh.

[ Amused. ]

I have an idea or two already, but I am looking to see if any new inspiration strikes. So please, lead the way.

[scooptimistic]

Ooh--

[ Help, she's already veering. ]

A planetarium!!

[crimsin]

[ He keeps up with her just fine! Veering we go-- ]

Are you fond of astronomy?

[scooptimistic]

There's just some things to do with the zodiac, that I'm fond of...

[ Whew. ]

Teens are really into horoscopes, after all.

[crimsin]

You are making my original choice of nickname seem that much more correct. Though… do you work with teens?

[scooptimistic]

I write for a teen magazine! And I've had close contact with a group of them! So to answer that--yes!

[ Simply. ]

[crimsin]

Do not tell me you write the horoscope section.
