[He chuckled]

Few people see eye to eye with Fenris.

[Oh, hm, this is interesting for sure...but then again, Daneel has probably always been a robot, not a program like him. 'Masters' instead of 'Operators'--there would probably be a difference there. But Daneel moves on from Masters, and to a partner, and suddenly that does sound a lot more familiar.]

Oh, a detective! I've heard those guys can be really neat to be around. And having one for a friend...that must have been pretty amazing.

[He smiles, as he says it, because he does notice the weight on the term 'friend' there. Different from his Masters, then. Maybe closer to what Megaman knows as an Operator in Lan. And he can understand that, or at least he thinks so...but then his smile fades a bit, at the last part.]

Not permitted--so robots aren't usually supposed to be by themselves too, huh? [The way Solo Navis tend to garner a bit of alarm back home...with Bass being the first example Megaman can think of, actually, and that's the first thing to pop in his head. But Daneel doesn't seem like Bass at all. ...A lot more stable and not-angry, to start. Hm. But wait, if this is the case, that means--] ...You stopped working with Elijah?

[peacockherald]

He is a... very grumpy sort. I think he nearly attacked me the first time I set food in the armaments room.

_{[ He shook his head, taking a draught of his drink as the shore surged in. He jumped at the cold, laughing at his own shock. ]}

[mortalcoil]

[the ship is just up ahead now... and so is the sea.

a distressed breath wheezes out of him when he can hear how close it's getting, but he's not picking his head up away from Zhas' shoulder. he keeps his eyes crunched tight and face buried... but that is the extent of his fighting.

this is what he'd fucked himself up for, after all. his brain is too soaked and heavy to wind up into the high, heady panic that it normally would. it's a messy way to go about it, but it at least works.

Zhas can get him all the way up to the hatch before Coil finally stops him--one hand suddenly flailing out to catch himself on the doorway and jam the whole process up before they can actually make it inside.]

[limitstorm]

[ ah--did he dally?

riku starts, looking at axel with some surprise before clearing his throat and rubbing his neck. ]

I'm fine, just thinking.

[ he drops the roots carefully, then goes to start ripping out some of the planets, careful about it. not even five plants afterward, though, the rain starts. it's cool and welcome, for riku, who pauses for a few moments just to let it run down. ]

[mortalcoil]

[yeah, the size of the ships isn't exactly what bothers Coil either. he's used to dark, cramped quarters.

he shakes his head and clarifies, with a light frown.]

'No people.'

[because those are what makes those ships feel so small.]

[mortalcoil]

[he nods, though he's actually oblivious to whatever weather may or may not be on its way. he wants someone to come and get him because of what looms near his ship. bodies of standing water and not his friend, and he's surrounded by them here.

and when she slides the water over, he looks like he wants to argue, but it would only be for contrariness' sake. he knows she's right. and he's not actually doing this for some heedless or rebellious reason; there's no need to make himself anymore miserable than he has to.

so... he accepts the glass, and carefully takes a big drink.]

[redactions]

​​​​[ He nods, briskly. ]

Maybe get an iPod. It plays music; it helps you forget they're there.

[redactions]

​​​​[ He abruptly wishes he was wearing a hat, or it was still in fashion to do so, because he'd doff it. Instead, he nods briskly at Isabela, and returns a few moments later with a tall glass of something orange. ]

Here, try this. I'm told it has kick.

[ino]

[ She doesn't really like this, but since there's nowhere else to go for him ... And she doesn't really want to get OUT, either ...

She huffs and sinks a little lower into the water ]

... Fine, just don't be creepy about it ...

[serves]

[Cole is all but thrown onto the sand, Cullen dropping next to him and only then realizing who it is--spirits don't know how to swim, of course--and giving his back a healthy thumping to get that water out of him.]

Breathe. You've got it.

the beach!

[kyasdaughter]

This is better than Ember Island.

[ DON'T MIND KATARA, she's just going to be here, really enjoying actual sunlight and weather and planetary atmosphere. she's flopped out on a towel on the sand, apparently just relishing the weather. ]

How's the sandbending coming along? [ teasing. ]

[savedtheworld]

Anything's better than Ember Island!

[How can he not mind her she's right there! It's a distraction, but a welcome one. He glances towards her with a smile as he sits in the sand, making it float around his fingers.]

It's... I'm getting there! I wanna make something really pretty for you by the end of the day!

[kyasdaughter]

[ she leans up slightly, drowsy and comfortable and honestly probably on her way to a mild sunburn, but right now she really couldn't care less. ]

Aang.

[ amused, and - honestly a little flattered. ]

You should leave the sand on the beach.

[savedtheworld]

But... I wanna make something nice! [He drops the sand as he tries to make placating hand motions towards the drowsy Katara.] I know I can do it if I try!

[mortalcoil]

[he sighs in a teenagery way that really highlights his age, unfortunately, and he shakes his head.]

'Won't help.' [and after a moment to consider whether he really wants to get into it... he decides, yeah whatever, if anyone is going to get it, it'll maybe be the guy who helped him in the first place.]

'They killed the specimen.'

[all that hard work and excitement to capture a living example of the infected bugs, and his crew killed it.]

[kyasdaughter]

What can you even use sand to make?

[ she sits up completely, crossing her eyes and rolling her shoulders back in an attempt to stretch and wake herself up. ]

[savedtheworld]

Um... [He shifts his sitting position to faces her completely and scratches at his chin.]

A sand sculpture! Like that one Sokka did once... but pretty!

[kyasdaughter]

[ that catches katara by surprise... and then she bursts into quiet laughter. ]

Why don't we just build one together?

[savedtheworld]

[He hadn't thought about that - but he quickly finds himself smiling at the idea.]

Sure! If you wanna... That sounds like fun!

[kyasdaughter]

Great!

[ it's getting her to wake up a little, at least. :') she's already on her feet and heading a little closer to the water, just to make it easier to dampen the sand. ]

What should we make?

[savedtheworld]

Umm... Um... Something really really pretty. Like a penguin, orrr a bison? Or... Anything you want?

[thezerothlaw]

Robots are meant to take orders from humans, not make decisions for themselves, but I concluded I could do more good acting alone.

[When he talks of Elijah, he speaks slowly; even now, it's a difficult topic, even if he knows there was nothing to be done.]

Partner Elijah... is deceased. It was sixteen decades ago. He was... very old.

[kyasdaughter]

Oh! A penguin'd be fun. Come on, let's get to work.

[ turns out it's way easier to enjoy the beach when you're not worried about the fight with the Fire Lord hanging over your head. ]

[mylegacy]

Obviously you do.

[He gives Ray a pretty obvious up-and-down look and frowns.]

Are you . . . all right? [That sunburn looks fucking wicked, holy shit, where is the aloe around here.]
