Around and Aboard the Galapagos Legend, Friday, October 18, 2019

[heroic_jawline]

We're heading into our final stop this morning before heading back to Quito for the evening, but we've saved the best for last--if you count giant tortoises as the best and you should.

But for now, up and at 'em! Beat Beau to the gym!

She grinned back at him.

"And, like, you might get a different answer then, too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"Then I'll have some next week," he said. "It's been too quiet without your particular brand of enthusiasm."

"I'll be there," she promised, since she wanted to talk to him anyway. "And, like, if you missed my brand of enthusiasm does that mean, like, I should run out and start another shenanigan??????????????"

Were you volunteering your bus as tribute, Anakin?

"That is not at all what I meant," Anakin said. "Leave that poor bus alone."

"We're just trying to make the bus more exciting," she protested, giggling, and feeling secure enough to do so because they hadn't even gotten yelled at for covering it in origami.

"Why does the bus need to be exciting?" Anakin asked. "It's a bus."

"Well, like, it was the first motorized vehicle I ever got to see and ride???????????????????" Nina mused. "Which, like, already made it pretty exciting????????????? And then there's something about the challenge of it all............."

Re: Cerro Colorado Giant Tortoise Reserve

[sith_happened]

"Do you want me to make it more challenging?" Anakin asked. "Because I can do that."

This was a terrible plan.

Re: Cerro Colorado Giant Tortoise Reserve

[bookbeltof_love]

But it sounded amazing!

"More challenging????????????" she asked, intrigued. "How would you do that????????????"

That... that wasn't a no.

Re: Cerro Colorado Giant Tortoise Reserve

[sith_happened]

"If I told you it wouldn't be challenging," Anakin, worst influence, said.

Re: Cerro Colorado Giant Tortoise Reserve

[bookbeltof_love]

Nina hesitated.

On one hand, this was probably, like, something that all the Diamonds ought to vote on.

On the other hand, she was pretty sure both Vette and Prompto would be down for a challenge and Nina had never, ever been able to turn down one herself...

"Then yes," she said, "please make it more challenging!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

This way she'd feel less bad if her three-year plan of getting the bus on the moon worked out.

Anakin gave her a little smirk. "You'll regret that."

Re: Cerro Colorado Giant Tortoise Reserve

[bookbeltof_love]

"Maybe!!!!!!!!!!" she admitted, giggling. "But, like, as long as it's fun then it'll be hard to regret it too much!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And challenges are good for people!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Re: Cerro Colorado Giant Tortoise Reserve

[sith_happened]

"Challenges are very good for people!" Anakin agreed, already wondering how annoyed Zoe would be if he suspended the bus from the ceiling...
