What a beautiful day, and the students from Gin'Rom High School are going on a field trip to the Planetarium, at one of the highest points in the center of the city. A privately-organized transport had been arranged to accommodate the large number of students to be ferried over the waterways all at once. Some of the instructors, and even other students, who lived on the same level as the school had offered to help by bringing their own boat. Today, they'd have to go up 30 levels once they'd reached the center of the city. Some of the more luxurious boats find themselves unable to pass through certain narrower tunnels, and have to find another way around. They promised to meet up at the platform.
Once they reached the center of the city and everyone was gathered, they would be climbing stairs most of the way. After about 10 levels up, escalators became more common, offering relief to tired legs. Even in this city full of stairs, 10 levels was a lot to some, and there was still twice that to go. Those who lived on the same level as the school are the ones who seem to be having the hardest time of it.
Once they arrived at their destination, a cat woman from Var'cel with white fur hair and natural, blue highlights stepped in front of them, smiling. Her eyes were a striking green as she greeted them, "Welcome! Gin'Rom High School, right? I'm Solya Frost, a scientist here at the planetarium. This is my Light fairy, Vortex," she motioned to the pale blue fairy next to her, who floated on especially translucent and luminescent wings, which was a little odd, but not especially so, "and I'll be taking you on a tour today, before I turn you loose to take a closer look at whatever you please. If you have a question, feel free to ask, but don't interrupt me."
She leads them through the lab, showing them nebula in far away galaxies and some of the equipment they have for gazing into the stars. There's a small section of the Planetarium dedicated to questions regarding the starless portion of the sky, to the south, but it's been shoved between exhibits, as a sight to be passed. She speaks, though it's more to herself than anyone, and kept under her breath, "this is the side project no one cares about..." She realizes after that perhaps a student heard her, and she shouldn't be complaining so openly. She certainly seemed more than happy to keep going, and Lumina sits on her shoulder, patting her neck. She starts talking about the next exhibit before too long, rather than stop on a side show no one here probably cares about.
When she's given the tour of what the exhibits are and where, she stops and turns to the group, smiling pleasantly. "Any questions?" She pauses long enough for someone to spring a question on her, before motioning outward with one hand. "If you get any questions, I'll be working my way around through the exhibits while you're here. I'll turn you back to your instructor." She nods and then turns to go talk to the chaperones for a bit, while the lead instructor gives some grouping directions before sending the students on their way throughout the planetarium. Buddy system and blah blah.
