ᴏᴏ3 : ᴛᴇxᴛ | ᴀᴄᴛɪᴏɴ
Who: Zuko [
honorbends] and YOU.
Broadcast: Fleetwide.
Action: On Ye Olde Ice Planet.
When: Now!
Why.
[ that is literally the only thing zuko texts, because he has stepped out onto the ice planetHoth and is promptly regretting ever doing so. firebenders rise with the sun, and zuko is a morning person, and nothing is more claustrophobic than being on a ship with no natural light, or heat, or energy -- and being outside alone is rejuvenating for him, but --
there is so much snow.
so feel free to spot him wandering around looking furious in a scarf, stubbornly melting a small patch of snow, or perusing the markets for things to buy with money that he probably asked someone else for.
or you can hit him with snow and take advantage of the fact that he is, in fact, a firebender on what is apparently a recreation of the northern water tribe. with more salt.
this is the worst. ]

action
It's a robot?
[ as he peers into it. ]
Why do you have it in a scarf?
[ the thing isn't alive smol child ]
action
Spot, sensing something in front of it, beeps and whirrs. It wants to clean that big thing in its path! ]
action
Do you fix them often?
[ he looks vaguely apprehensively of the thing suddenly beeping at him, but it's probably harmless. ]
action
Something churns in the robot's interior. It begins wobbling in Ken's grip, so he holds on more tightly, addressing it. ] Don't....
action
But do you do this at home, too? Fix machines.
action
Ken fights back another embarrassed look and reaches down to wrap his robot back up again. ] Is "maintenance" a rare augment?
action
My augment has nothing to do with what I did in my world.
[ obviously because zuko is the farthest thing from a therapist that he can imagine
... ]
-- are you still learning how to fix it?
[ that robot needs to be put down ken ]
action
Clearing his throat turns into a cough given the weather. ] ..I should...find that part.
[ Bleep blorp, says Spot.
Ken is not responsible for the name.]action
zuko frowns at the robot before glancing back toward the town. ]
... come on.
[ zuko sighs, and he clears away a bit of ice along the path with a burst of fire. ]
I'm going toward town anyway.
action
[ He'll follow a few paces back so as not to crowd this person, since they're being good enough to assist him. Tucking the scarf back around Spot, he thinks. Is this the point where he picks a new conversational topic? Probably, huh. ] ....My name is Ken.
[ Nailed it. ]
action
[ pause ]
How long have you been on the Fleet?
action
Now it thinks it's night.] I arrived while the ships were being remodeled.[ He might as well use the official explanation for that. ]
action
I wasn't here for much longer before that, so.
[ yup ]
Is anyone else from your universe here?
