Who: Allen Walker
Broadcast: Video
Action: The Hand-Holding Planet
When: Time is relative.

[The feed opens up different from Allen's usual clinic-related broadcasts. First of all, the camera seems shaky, like it's been held by something flying. It also seems to be out in the forest, or rather near a clearing in the forest.]

[And behind him instead of Timcanpy, seems to be what looks like...well, a dead dinosaur that's so big you can only see a bit of it on the camera. And Sokka's in the background, pacing around and measuring the dinosaur from all angles, muttering to himself.]

Ah, hello all! [Allen gives a wave] I'm Allen Walker of the SS Blue Fish. I don't have any clinic announcements, but ah...

[He glances back, then looks at the camera again]

Well you see, my captain and I went hunting and we sort of...overdid it, a tad. You see, um, Tim? Can you show them?

[The shaky camera pans around, showing that yep- that is indeed a dead T. rex. A tree has been toppled on it, and there's stab wounds in the neck. Sokka meanwhile has started to examine the dinosaur with....finger square frame. Okay. After a moment, the camera will go back to focus on Allen]

Yeah, as you can see- I don't think we can get this back to our ship on our own, or fit it in the ship, if we did.

[He claps his hands together] So! We were thinking...if anyone would like some meat for your ship, we'd be happy to share! Just come on by and take some! We're out in the forest, a few miles outside of the city. There's clearly plenty to go around!

Oh, and if you have a way to move it closer to the ships, that'd be even better! We'd be happy to share an even larger portion! [He glances around the forest, a bit nervous. Behind him, Sokka seems to started drawing with intense concentration, using a nearby tree stump for his surface. Allen seems to talk like he's more talking to himself than anything:] I know I'd like to be out of here before we meet his friends...

[And then he clears his throat and looks back at the camera] Anyway. That's all! Have a nice day!

I need certain conditions to be at full power, and we haven't been to a place that supports that until here.

Really?

[Okay now he's curious]

What sort of conditions are those?

I can't just tip my hand to anyone, can I?

Okay, find. The answer is sunlight. A yellow sun, specifically.

[Sokka finally comes out from somewhere behind the dead dinosaur to squint at her. He'd say she doesn't look like she can lift a very heavy box, but neither did Toph and she could kick his ass seven ways from Sunday. He's learned not to judge. ]

Specifically a yellow sun?

[IS THERE SCIENCE HAPPENING?!!]

...Hi.

[ she's obviously not naturally suspicious but she'd still like to know the people she's talking to ]

- Oh.

[He smiles and gestures at Sokka]

This is Sokka, he's my ship's captain and my friend.

[He'll give a wave, a little disgruntled manners have to come before science once again. ]

Hi, that's me. Sokka. Also a big lover of understanding anything that isn't magic.

I'm Kara.

It's not magic, as far as I know. It's a biological effect, dependent on a yellow sun.

That sounds... [familiar? But from where? Ugh he has to think.]

Do other people have that..um, biological effect?

If they're from where I'm from. I'm not sure about anyone else, but my cousin and I are affected.

I can get that. Firebenders get stronger with the sun, waterbenders by the moon. Same sort of principle, I think. It's just dependent on the KIND of sun.

[He can live with this, it's not Too Weird. ]

But hey, if it means we can move the T-Rex, that's awesome.

Your cousin.... [Yeah. He didn't know Clark well enough to know if he had a cousin, so finally he just shrugs it off. If Sokka's happy, then he can be happy]

Yeah, Sokka's right! We really appreciate the help!

My cousin is generally more well-known than I am. He's been at it longer.

Yellow suns versus red suns have different types and strengths of radiation, I think. Red suns are dying, so they don't have the power that a healthy, young, yellow sun has.

But just point the way! It'll probably be easier to still break it down a bit and take trips, but this way it doesn't have to be broken down as much.

[Is that a happy laugh from Sokka? It sure sounds like a happy laugh. He looks like he's barely restraining himself from straight up hugging her. ]

Powers with actual real science behind them. This is the best day ever. Once we move all this dino meat, I'd really love to know more.

[SCIENCE!!]

[He laughs as he offers an explanation.] Sokka loves science.

[He gestures at the t. rex. Yep. It's very big and very dead]

Anyway, this is the him. Very...big.

Wow.

How did you down him again?

Amazing teamwork. Also, dropping a tree on him.

[He sounds pretty proud. ]

[He grins, a bit proud too]

Sokka did most of the work. I just kept him from moving.

Well, I am suitably impressed.

[ and she's going to try to scope out a way to grab a bunch of dino in a way that doesn't get her gooey ]

What can I say? We saw a chance and we took it and didn't die, yay!

[He'll let her do that but he's sure watching her, he wants to see what she does now he knows SCIENCE!!! is involved. ]

[Allen nods along but yep, he'll let Kara do her thing to see what she decides to do]

[ she's flitting around, trying to decide where to pick things up, and she finally makes a decision ]

If we figure out where to cut, I can probably cauterize it so it doesn't get even messier?

You can do that? That would be amazing! It'd make it less likely to bring any other predators over here, too.

[He's trying not to come off too much like an excited weirdo, but probably not doing that great at it. ]

Oh, yeah, I didn't mention the heat vision?

[--!!!!!!]

Clark Kent!
