Twelfth Gate [Video]

Who: Jennifer Keller and you
Broadcast: Flootwide
Action: Wonderduck, if despired
When: NOW

[When Jennifer opens the feed, a very canine whine can be heard in the background, and Jennifer reaches back to soothe Naga and offer her a squeaky Flootemon toy that looks suspiciously like Beartic before speaking.]

So, uhm, does anyone know how to take care of a polar bear dog? Korra's in cryosleep, and I think Naga's feeling upset and restless without her. I've never had so much as a normal puppy before, so I don't know the first thing about dog care, much less... polar bear dog care. Any advice would be appreciated, thanks.

[That made her laugh.]

Oh, gosh, can you imagine being the parent of a kid who can control water? Especially at bath time.

[goldenglasses]

Haha! Yeah! If the kid doesn't want to take a bath and keeps moving the bath water? I wonder how they'd manage.

[forsometimenow]

They'd be lethal in winter, too.

[goldenglasses]

Oh yeah! Snow is frozen water! I'd definitely want to be on their team in a snowball fight!

[forsometimenow]

Or when playing hockey. It'd probably be considered an unfair advantage.

[goldenglasses]

I haven't played hockey before. Do you throw snow or water at each other?

[forsometimenow]

It's a game played by skating on a frozen lake or an ice rink. You carry long sticks and try to knock a puck into the opponent's goal. If you could manipulate water, it'd be easy to knock the puck around or trip your opponents.

[goldenglasses]

I see what you mean. Although, I wonder if everyone playing can control water what happens if they all try to control the same water.

[forsometimenow]

Chaos.

[goldenglasses]

I wonder if the winner is decided by whatever team manages to get one point.

[forsometimenow]

Or whoever is the driest and least-injured at the end.

[goldenglasses]

Yeah, winning doesn't sound very appealing if you're injured to get it.

[forsometimenow]

True. Usually hockey players wear helmets and pads to take some of the risk away.

[goldenglasses]

That's good that they have some protection at least.

[Then he suddenly remembers how they got on this train of thought.] Oh, and I hope that you're able to get some more helpful suggestions.

[forsometimenow]

I think I'm pretty well covered on that point, and my shipmates are going to help out, too. So I'm good.

[goldenglasses]

Good to hear. And I hope she wakes up soon.

[forsometimenow]

Yeah... I can't imagine how disorienting it is to wake up after being asleep for weeks.

[goldenglasses]

Me either. More so because you can feel like you've been gone for a lot longer than a couple weeks.

[forsometimenow]

Yeah, I've heard about that happening- though I've never experienced it before myself. Sometimes I wish I COULD go home in some sense, even for a few weeks...

[goldenglasses]

I think we all think that. See people. Make sure everything is alright.

[forsometimenow]

Yeah. Just to put my mind at ease a little bit.

[goldenglasses]

Still, if I had to be whisked away to somewhere this place hasn't been too bad. I've heard some people talk about some pretty terrible places.

Company has been excellent at least.

[forsometimenow]

I'll second that. I don't want to say this has become another home, but... as a temporary diversion from my life, we definitely could have done worse. We have a roof over our heads and food to eat and get to visit plenty of interesting places.

[goldenglasses]

Very interesting. I love all the forests we've been to so far.

[forsometimenow]

Nature is definitely welcome after being cooped up on a ship. I was never an outdoorsy type, but I've learned to like it.
