ᴏᴏ3 : ᴛᴇxᴛ | ᴀᴄᴛɪᴏɴ

[honorbends]

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 planet Hoth 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. ]

The sun is still out, even if it's freezing outside.

It's not like the ships have natural sunlight.

[survives]

Oh.

I guess I can't blame you. It kinda sucks not being able to see the sun all the time. You should still try not to freeze out there though, huh?

And maybe next time we'll end up on another planet with a beach!

[honorbends]

I won't actually freeze to death; I don't think that's possible for me.

[ unless someone took his bending away, but zuko can keep himself pretty warm, for the most part ]

I hope so. Anything but the snow.

text

[survives]

Seriously? I thought anyone could freeze.

[--Sooo probably not the right thing to say though, oh boy.

Moving on--!]

No, no, I bet the next one won't have ANY snow at all! It probably wouldn't be really fun to watch if we just kept going to snowy planets, you know?

text

[honorbends]

I guess, unless people like watching us freeze. Or buy salt.

{ zuko didn't have television in his world, so he honestly has no idea whether or not people find it entertaining. or why you'd want to watch reality TV in the first place. his days usually aren't very exciting, BUT ]

I wouldn't say no to a month of beaches.

text

[survives]

Ugh. I wouldn't watch a TV show with people just freezing all the time.

Buuut!! I think I would watch a show with a lot of beaches! I bet lots of people would!

text

[honorbends]

Beaches, palm trees, fresh fruit.

No tundra.

Or fur.

text

[survives]

Nope! No snow, no cold, nothing!

Just the sun and the ocean.

ESPECIALLY the ocean.

text

[honorbends]

The ocean is optional for me, but I guess it would be nice.

The best of both worlds, or something.

text

[survives]

I guess I just really like the ocean.

But you can't have the beach without the ocean anyway! You just don't have to go in it.

text

[honorbends]

I know.

My home has oceans. And we have ships, and boats. But we're not dependent on the ocean to survive, and it's not a huge part of our culture. Or living.

{ the fire nation is a nation of commerce, of agriculture -- and fishing, to a certain extent, but only in the coastal towns. for the past one hundred years, they've survived off of warfare and pummeling everyone else into submission in order to obtain what they need. now, in a new era of peace, they have to figure out how to go forward.

-- or, well. zuko needs to figure it out.

because he's in charge.

great. ]

I can see why people like it, though. The warm version, anyway.

text

[survives]

I think I get it. We don't really go in the ocean much where I'm from either, I guess.

[There is no access to the ocean where she's from, but details.]

So it's just not reeaaally important to all of you then, huh?
