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]

action

[ladiesss]

[ice fishing? well that's something. at least she won't disturb the fish by being too loud as she crunches through the snow and whispers in his direction.]

Hey, Sokka.

[it might be helpful to note that her snow clothes look way comfier and more fashionable than the ones everyone else got. they've got cute little spiders on them. C:]

[alwayscomeback]

[The spiders are adorable. He is pretty sure they're not needed, but hey, whatever makes her happy.]

Hey, how're you liking the snow?

[ladiesss]

Oh, you know. [she crunches her way closer, so she can eventually stand next to him.] It's cold. I made a snowman. I'd rather be in front of a heater.

[alwayscomeback]

Really? You made a snowman?

[He hasn't done that since he was tiny. Of course, when you're surrounded by it all your life, it loses its charm.]

Aww, come on, it isn;t that cold.

[Yes. Yes it is.]

[ladiesss]

Uh huh. Out of the two of us, who is acclimated to the South Pole?

[she creeps closer to the edge of the frozen lake... to try and see if there's anything down the hole he's cut for his fishing line...]

And yes. I made a snowman. His name is Rasputin.

[alwayscomeback]

Okay, okay, you got a point.

[There doesn't seem to be anything, bar from a flicker of silver, now and again.]

Wow, you even named it.

action; can they go ice fishing together

[aberrant_type]

[She's bundled up in a rather eclectic way: crisp white uniform pants, tall black boots that flare at the knee, her shirt and uniform jacket and an Atroma sweater over it all. Wrapped around her head, the scouting legion traveling cloak she arrived in, colored dark green with flecks of white: the wings, pattern broken by the cloth being twisted and folded.

She catches a glipse of Sokka fishing and veers over to check things out. In winter training, all recruits did this sort of stuff, but it's been years. She takes a few minutes to watch and then calls out.]

Are they biting?

yesyes they can

[alwayscomeback]

[He turns and smiles giving her a wave.]

Yeah. I mean, it's nothing amazing, but I'm getting something. [He nods to the bucket beside him.] Trying to get my crew fed for a while, y'know?

[aberrant_type]

Not a bad idea. The protein will keep you from starving but it's not very interesting, eh?

[She comes over to take a look in the bucket, and study Sokka a little too. Interesting... there isn't much racial variance amongst people inside the walls, so it's not common to see someone with brown skin. But such bright blue eyes.]

Mind if I join you, kiddo?

[alwayscomeback]

Well, I was gonna try to get some elk or something, too. Give us a little variety.

[Welcome to the adorable look of the Water Tribe, Zoe. He grins and pats the ice beside him.]

Sure, pull up some ice.

[aberrant_type]

Good thinking. I'll see if I can't get my boys onto the same line of thought.

[You know, she will come and sit. Her body heat starts to melt a bit of the top layer of ice already, and cold water soaks into her pants, but she can ignore that for now.]

What's your name, kid?

[alwayscomeback]

It'll be worth it. I mean, we don't know when we'll get to a planet with a viable food source again.

[He frowns at the comment, once is allowed, twice, nope.]

I'm not a kid, y'know. In my tribe, I'm a man. [All sixteen years of him.] I'm Sokka.

action;

[mirroromirror]

[ like sokka, miyuki is also braving the harsh winter conditions.

he might hear a screech not too far away from where he's haggling, and should he investigate, you'll see her spotting a penguin off in the distance.

it starts to toddle away... ]

Ahh, wait! Mr. Penguin, wait!

[ priorities. she's starting to run after it. ]

[alwayscomeback]

[The screeching is enough to gain Sokka's attention. He knows a penguin when he hears one, and for a second he remembers the stupid joy of penguin sledding.]

...You going to slide on it? [He asks as she runs past.]

[mirroromirror]

[ when he speaks to her, she takes a pause, blinking over at him. ]

You can slide on it?!

[alwayscomeback]

Sure. It's a thing back home, penguin sledding. You gotta catch them first, though.

[mirroromirror]

Can you teach me?

[alwayscomeback]

Penguin sledding? [He points at his ice hole.] I'm kinda busy, y'know, providing. I haven't got time for games.
