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. ]

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.

[catamite]

...

[another minute passes while he pauses and processes... until he finally looks down at himself.]

...You mean me?

[alwayscomeback]

[Sokka is slow clapping.]

Congrats, you got a clue. What're you gonna do with it? Don't spend it all at once.

[catamite]

[every part of that comment goes right over his head. but that's okay, because Nel totally has something else to focus on.

and he can't help but smirk over it.]

...What, are you shy?

[alwayscomeback]

What? NO! [He says, flustered.]

I just don't need to see other guy's [he gestures] misters.

[catamite]

Misters!

[okay, that's the cutest term he has ever heard. he absolutely can't help but giggle into his hand.]

Is that really the word you use?

[alwayscomeback]

[Oh spirits, whyyyy? Sokka sinks into the water, blub blub.]

Just leave me alone to drown.

[catamite]

Do you really want me to go put on trunks?

[the 'you big baby' part is unspoken, because Nel would never say anything that rude. he'd only think it and imply it with his tone.]

[alwayscomeback]

...I don't know what they are but if it means you're no naked, then yes.

[He's going to ignore that tone.]
