Who: Sokka and you!
Broadcast: Private to the SS Blue Fish
Action: Snow planet - open to all
When: Today

[NETWORK - VIDEO; SS BLUE FISH ONLY]

[Sokka has already found himself the correct winter wear for this planet. It's nothing like his traditional Southern Water Tribe getup, but they'll do the job. He smiles at the camera, waving the spear he's managed to make for himself.]

Hey guys! I know not everyone's big on the eternal winter planet, but I grew up in the South Pole, so this is the sort of place I'm used to. Anyway, I figured I'd head out and get us some food. Fish, try and get a couple elk and stuff. I've been working on an ice box in the cargo hold, so we should be able to keep it fresh for a while, too. Anyone's welcome to join me, but if you don't feel like it, don't worry, I'll make sure there's plenty of food to go round for all of us.

[He's not even trying to be a decent captain, really. After providing for his tribe for so much of his life, and team Avatar after that, this sort of thing is natural to him. He grins, giving the camera a gloved thumbs up.]

We'll be feasting tonight, guys! WOOOO!

[ACTION;]

[Sokka can be found by anyone who's braving the wintery planet. Perhaps you'll catch him in the habited areas, haggling with a couple natives on some hunting gear. Or perhaps you'll find him stalking through the tundras, hunting the animals who are, indeed adorable, but are also made of delicious meat.

One of the few times you'll find him sitting quietly are when he's sat himself on a frozen patch of water, ice fishing. But be quiet or you'll scare the food.]

[Even if he's not trying to be a decent captain, this video alone is enough to make Allen want to nominate him for captain of the year. FOOD.]

That sounds like a great idea! Count me in!

[alwayscomeback]

Great! You ever done any hunting the the ice and snow before?

[save_the_souls]

Um...

I'm used to traveling through it, but...not much hunting, no.

[alwayscomeback]

No problem, I can show you a thing or two. I don't like to brag [hah] but I'm pretty good at it.

[save_the_souls]

Are you?

[He smiles a little. Maybe he doesn't buy it entirely you bragger, but he doesn't write it off either.]

Alright. Then I'd be happy to learn, Captain!

[alwayscomeback]

Sure am, been doing it since I was old enough to walk.

[Cheerfully!]

Great! I can wait for you outside.

[save_the_souls]

[Well, at least he seems sure. He gives a nod]

Alright! I won't be long.

[And he's heading off to get some winter gear]

[alwayscomeback]

Okay.

[Sokka will be true to his word, remaining outside the ship, sitting in the snow, carving up some spears out of some wood he found while foraging. ]

[save_the_souls]

[And Allen will come out about ten minutes later- wearing the sweater given to them and hat. He's got a bag over his shoulder, likely carrying some supplies]

[He smiles as he approaches Sokka, looking surprised to see the spears]

We'll be using spears?

[TALK ABOUT OLD SCHOOL]

[alwayscomeback]

Sure. I got some fishing poles, too, for ice fishing, but if we get near open water, spears are the way to go. [He grins.] Plus they'll work great if we run into any caribou or something.

[save_the_souls]

[Huh. Okay]

Are they much different from using a sword?

[alwayscomeback]

Well, you tend to throw spears a lot more than you slice. It means you can get a long-distance kill in.

[save_the_souls]

I see. But...doesn't that leave you without a weapon and an angry animal if it doesn't kill them?

[And like that, Allen suddenly understands why his people invented the gun.]

[alwayscomeback]

That's why you keep a hunting knife with you. And if that doesn't work? [A shrug.] You learn to run really, really, fast.

[Guns are way too Fire Nation, man.]
