ACTION Enchanted Forest / Spa Time
WHEN Upon reaching the system (Jan. 4) to leaving it (Jan. 31)

[ It's another day, another planet for the Drift Fleet to explore. Whether it be relaxing in the landing field, checking out the spa (and subsequently getting urged to enter the woods), or taking on the Enchanted Forest's game, there's enough to do for stir-crazy Fleet members.

Just remember one thing: make it look good. ]

Field:

[Sokka is standing by the Blue Fish, his arms folded, looking out at everything around them with a distinct state of unimpressed. He's been dragged into too many shenanigans (usually by Aang) that started out just like this. He might still be slightly bitter about the nomad song, too.]

On a scale of one to stupid, this is moronic.

Spa:

[But a spa, now a spa is something AWESOME, and FAMILIAR. So Sokka has spent a lot of his time here, soaking happily in the warm water and relaxing for a change. Man, Katara would love this. Suki, too. They'd never leave.]

Forest:

[He'll be standing outside the forest reading the sign. His soak has made him a little more susceptible to ADVENTURE!!! But he's still Sokka.]

I don't know. I don't like this being lost idea. How lost? Are we talking oops, wrong turn now we're where we're started lost, or are we talking walking around in circles forever until we die lost? Because those are two different things.

[ Heyyy, someone talking out loud! That means he can answer like they're having a conversation. ]

Ahahaha, we should find out~

[alwayscomeback]

[Sure does! Sokka turns to him, giving him the same sort of look you would give to a crazy person.]

Are you an actual crazy person?

[See?]

[carreau]

Eh~? Of course not!

[alwayscomeback]

Are you sure?

Because I'm getting a lot of crazy person vibes right now.

[carreau]

Nope! I'm completely normal~

[alwayscomeback]

You know who says they're completely normal a lot?

People who aren't completely normal.

[carreau]

Ahaha, but if I said I wasn't normal, then you'd think I wasn't normal too!

[alwayscomeback]

That is an accurate statement, yes.

Spa!

[catamite]

[hot springs, hot springs!

Nel is absolutely flouncing around through every corner of the bathhouse and surrounding springs, because this is just the best thing ever! also playing with all the machinery, vending as many little soaps and shampoos and fancy oils as he can carry.

...he's also in nothing but a towel, and that is coming dangerously close to falling right off of him. seriously, it could go at any second.]

[alwayscomeback]

[Oh no, Sokka's going to just avert his eyes. He doesn't need to see this.]

Uh. You might want to grab that towel, man. I don't think anyone wants a free show.

[Just gonna sink a little lower. Don't wander around naked, bro. Don't do that.]

[catamite]

[he stops to look down at himself.]

What? ...Oh...

[and so he... tries! he jostles the pile of little plastic bottles over into one arm, so he can reach down for the towel... but then he drops a few of the bottles in the process.

which means he's going to have to stop what he's doing to start bending down to pick them all up instead.

this is bad news for the towel. seriously, that it's going to give up on its job at any moment.]

[alwayscomeback]

[Why does his life always end up in weird places? He never wanted any of this. He just wanted to stay with his tribe and not be murdered by the Fire Nation. But his life has been nothing but weird for a long time and now it's super weird and he wants his money back from existence in general.]

This is a really creepy way to get ratings.

[Closing his eyes, not looking la la la la.]

[catamite]

Creepy?

[Nel stops what he's doing to kind of... look up and behind himself, like something spooky might have shown up and snuck up behind him.

though, LUCKILY he manages to scoop up the fallen bottles as he does so, and snags the slipping towel with his free hand before anything terrible can happen.

and he looks back at Sokka, confused.]

What's creepy about it?

[alwayscomeback]

Oh no, I'm not the one explaining that. If you don't get it, you never will.

[catamite]

Why?

[ yeah he's looking... all around now...]

...What did I miss?

[alwayscomeback]

Oh, not much. Just almost nudity. Nothing big.

Field!

[birdsbirdsbirds]

[hello, random person. Robin's been roaming around, standing around different ships, just kind of... checking out the area... so sure, he could totally be around the Blue Fish.]

Do you mean the bizarre game setup, or the part where it's almost certainly a trap?

[alwayscomeback]

Both! But mostly the trap part. I mean, come on. [He waves his hands at the sign animatedly.] It's practically screaming "I'm a trap! You might not get outta here alive!".

[birdsbirdsbirds]

Mm. [he thinks, for a moment...] You're going in anyway, aren't you.

[alwayscomeback]

[A pause. A sigh.]

I think I've been conditioned to it by now, so yeah. Going in.

[Thanks, Aang. THANKS.]

[birdsbirdsbirds]

[...he'll walk closer and give him a friendly clap on the shoulder.]

You never know! Maybe the prize at the end is as real and fabulous as advertised.

[alwayscomeback]

[Sokka turns his head slowly to give Robin a pointed LOOK.]

Yeah. Sure it might.

[birdsbirdsbirds]

[pfft, he laughs a little--melodic and odd.]

Calm down, kid. I'm not exactly expecting a joyride either.

[alwayscomeback]

Glad to know. Because no one should get their hopes up when it comes to crazy kidnap-y places and their activities.
