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!

hey so
maybe kind of a weird question
but can i have a couple of the teeth

[WEIRD DEAD THING COLLECTION ATTEMPT IS A GO.]

[COLLECT ALL THE DEAD THINGS]

Um, I don't see why not.

Why?

hobby
probably exacerbated by the fact crows like dead things but ive sorta been collecting shit off each of the planets we visit
like my own personal museum of dubiously taxidermied wildlife
and after a couple mishaps i gotta say
teeth are higher on the survival scale when pitted against a slobbery fox maw

[...]

Okay!

I can save you some. Do you want big ones or small ones?

oh sweet i get to pick
i dunno which ones look cooler
probably the bigger ones right
and theyd be tougher for a fox to swallow

[This is his attempt at responsible pet ownership. ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ]

Uh, yeah...

Maybe you should put them on a shelf where the fox can't reach?

yeah weve tried that
technically the critter is banned from my room in general since its kind of perilous
this is more of a precautionary measure considering the dumbass is more slippery than houdini when the mood strikes
and uh
the other guy with custodianship falls asleep a lot when its his turn to watch the fuzzball

I see...

Have you guys considered getting a kennel or a room to lock him in when no one is able to watch him?

oh
my friends got a cage or something in his room i guess?
i dunno if he ever uses it i usually just pass the fuzzball off on him after ive done my time
id guess he does but hes pretty fucking dumb sometimes [said the pot about the kettle] and the fox was an accidental inheritance

Oh...it was someone else?

[Suddenly that makes a load of sense since this guy does not seem like the type who would choose to get a pet]

Well, I'm glad you're doing your time to take care of it!

yeah it belonged to my best friend
but thanks i guess??
i mean its not like i was gonna dump the thing on that shitty moon or wherever
even im not that huge of a douche and im pretty sure newt has fuck all by way of survival instinct

It's still nice of you. I've heard of much worse.

[But anywho]

But alright, I'll make sure to get you some big teeth for your collection. Do you want any meat with that as well?

uh
you know what sure
gotta be better than bugs
what does a dinosaur taste like btw

[Instead of just inevitably finding out for himself??? Ok, Davesprite.]
