[it's not his real name, but it feels more true to himself than the other username he's been using on the network thus far. And this request is more true to himself, so it's fitting]

I'm a bit more acclimatized to this world now, but I'm still a bit unfamiliar with things. For example, are there any rules on how one can use abandoned buildings? Back in the world I was living in, I was using an abandoned garage and no one seemed to care. Thought I'd ask before I start looking for buildings that would suit my purposes.

[Oh, she is going to tell Emma right away, BRB!]

I will! I'm sure she'll be fine with it! Who would have a problem with education?

[jolting]

Good point. Either way, let me know when you need help with homework.

[thestoriesarereal]

I will! It sucks that I still have to go to school on a moon, but it's better than like...boarding school.

[jolting]

Are you having problems with any of the teachers or students?

[he might have adopted Lucy in his mind and is getting into protective mode]

[thestoriesarereal]

No, I'm not. They're okay, but since this is the moon...I thought I wouldn't have to go to school, you know?

So...for this place of yours...are you going to have a library?

[Lucy kind of already sees him as a parental figure so, they can adopt each other. It's okay. If Emma isn't around to ask for help, she knows she can go to Victor.]

[jolting]

Education is important, Lucy. Isn't there anything you enjoy learning about?

It won't be as much as the library we saw when we explored around but yes, I'll have one. Along with my own personal notes and sketches, just like at my place.

[thestoriesarereal]

But...this is a Moon! This could be an amazing adventure!

But I do enjoy learning history...and creative arts. I don't like the homework part.

You're going to need a big book shelf for that...or are you planning to make one yourself?

[jolting]

And living on a moon gives a great opportunity to learn about gravity, astronomy, geology...

I bet you would like the homework part if they made it less like work and more like something exciting or enjoyable.

If I can't find any bookshelves, sure. I am pretty good at making things, after all.

[thestoriesarereal]

[ooc: Things I never knew I needed: Lucy and Victor as not!father/not!daughter.]

...true, I didn't think about it that way.

Exactly! But, then it wouldn't be 'homework,' it would be something else...cause homework isn't supposed to be fun.

Well, you are a genius, so it would make sense that you could make other things. What else is your new place going to have?

[jolting]

[ooc: he adopts a not!daughter in literally every game I play him in. I just go with it at this point]

I'll make sure it's fun when we learn together.

Lab equipment and safety gear. What are your thoughts on botany?

[thestoriesarereal]

[ ooc: It’s adorable. I love it. ]

Promise?

Botany? Isn’t that the study of plants?

[jolting]

Yes, I promise.

Correct. We could have a little garden and work on it together.

[thestoriesarereal]

That would be cool! In Hyperion Heights there’s a community garden that I helped with. I sprinkled hyacinth seeds and some of them started to grow!

[jolting]

So you already have a green thumb.

Think about what you might want to grow, and we'll go out to find seeds together later.

[thestoriesarereal]

I think it had more to do with magic slowly coming back to Hyperion Heights, but I'm willing to try!

Really? I wouldn't know what to pick, there's a lot of options! Like herbs and veggies...and flowers too. I'll write down a list. :)

[jolting]

Okay, you get a list together and we’ll see what we can find.

[thestoriesarereal]

Okay! I'll go ahead and do that.

Are we going to study anything else?

[jolting]

Astronomy might be an interesting subject, since we're not on Earth and the star formations are likely to be different.

You said you were interested in creative arts. I'm not much of a writer, but I could teach you about music or drawing if you wanted.

[thestoriesarereal]

Doesn't astronomy have to be done at night? [Cause...this could turn into a sleepover, or a camp out?]

That would be great! I can only doodle, but learning how to draw would be fun!

[jolting]

It's usually the best time, yes. We can look in the library to see if there are any star maps, in the meantime.

[thestoriesarereal]

Think...maybe we could turn that into a camp out?

[jolting]

I have to confess I’ve never camped out before. So we’ll both be learning something.

[thestoriesarereal]

I could ask Emma! I'm sure she's been camping at least once.

[jolting]

I have no doubt.

[thestoriesarereal]

I'll ask her then! About letting me assist you and camping.

We could make s'mores!
