Marinette had been shown around the ship already but that was when she was still in the wide-eyed stages of denial one found themselves in when they were spirited to another universe. She'd gone along with it, listened to the descriptions of different places, talked to them about that whole swearing an oath thing and had done it all pretty much on automatic.

Just because she was a superhero back home didn't mean she was prepared for all this so she'd spent her days in the Medbay and her days right after in a quiet state of shock, one that had apparently been mistaken for calm because of her capacity to still talk to people despite it.

It was only now after she was free to wander around alone that she started to come out of it a little, looking at everything with new eyes the second time.

"Wooow."

She had no one to really say it to but she was used to Tikki always being with her so thinking out loud was a force of habit.

"Woooooow."

That was really all she could say as she wandered from place to place and from thing to scientific-looking...thing. She put her hands on her cheeks and stared and let out a "woooow" at no one, and then walked onto the next thing. Whether it was the threshold gate hub, or the science labs, or the many habitats that had been built for everyone on board -- including one that had the Champ De Mars and the entire Eiffel Tower for her -- all she could do was stare wide-eyed and "woooow" at herself.

And maybe touch things she probably shouldn't touch. In a few places she even smushed her face against windows to look at the view of Earth or space outside.

"Woooooooow!"

People might possibly notice the new girl in any number of places and given all the 'wow'ing and the flight ring on her finger she was very obviously new.

"That's what space does. It has things in it," Grif replied. "And a lot of those things are people."

Transitioning from one space future to another had, all things considered, been a bit less exciting for him.

"All the good stuff is on Earth," Grif said, looking out at the stars with perfect nonchalance as he continued to rain on the space parade.

"I mean, when you're from Earth it's kind of exciting for the first day or so but then you figure out it's all just rocks and aliens."

It wasn't like he'd ever been a kid who got excited about things, right? That'd be hypocritical!

"I was on a planet. It was just rocks and aliens, I promise," Grif said. He paused, then amended, "Well, just one alien, but he was a dick and no one liked him."

The fact that nobody liked the alien was an important detail.

"I guess here is kind of better?" he admitted. "But take it from me, kid: The aliens are still dicks. Mostly. Probably nine out of ten."

Grif was, as ever, a shining beacon of tolerance and appropriate language choices.

"Well, you're right about most people," Grif admitted, "But it doesn't really change anything about that, does it? Aliens at home are all dicks, aliens here are sometimes dicks, and I don't need to meet every guy with five arms for five different guns to point at me to know it's statistically a thing. That's how science works."

That is not how science works.

Grif shrugged, a lazy and unconcerned motion. "Either way, you don't have to take my advice," he said. Which, all in all, was probably a good thing to not do anyway. "Make all the alien buddies you want. Prove science wrong or something." He sounded doubtful.

"I'm Grif," he said. "Or Doubletime," he added, still not entirely used to that bit.

"And you should be careful if you're going to offend science, Marinette. It'll screw you big time. I know." He tapped one temple with a finger to try and emphasize that he was a smart person with more life experience and knowledge and a basic level of competence.

Or at least most of those things.
