Who: You! Me! Everybody!
Broadcast: idk but we've sure got a pretty broad cast of folks eh, eh
Action: HECK YEAH PLANET MINGLE
When: 10/7 until plot update or recaptcha

It's a deep, deep forest filled to the brim with fungi, mysterious life forms, and pitch black darkness. Explore if you dare and discover all these things and more! Just don't get lost...

I'm gonna take a wild stab in the dark and assume there are creepy things in that forest?

[Riona, no. Riona he made that god awful statue, he's the the Blue Fish's hull is covered in crappy hand prints. Riona, no. ]

Are you kidding? I'm a great artist!

[personal profile] bryces_pup 2016-10-13 09:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, all sorts. Sylvans, werewolves, darkspawn, and an insane hermit.

[Look, she knows about the statue but not about... everything else. And to her, a bad sculptor doesn't necessarily mean a bad artist!!

...

yeah no she'll regret this soon enough.]


I'll leave it to you then.

Please tell me the insane hermit was the worst part, for narrative fun.

[This will be a big life regret for her. ]

You know you can count on me!

[He's gonna draw a sun and it will be smiling. ]

Well, I suppose it depends on what you mean by "worst". He certainly was the most unexpected, and I had to play a question game of sorts with him to bargain an acorn out of him.

[She beams and nods, before turning to consider a direction.]

All right. Let's start by going north. It seems a bit less... I don't know. Forest of doom-y that way.

[An odd turn of phrase for her. She's been spending too much time with her crew, it seems...]
alwayscomeback: (Calling out father oh)

[personal profile] alwayscomeback 2016-10-18 10:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Ohhhhh one of those kinds of crazy hermits. Was the acorn...like magic or something? It wasn't just a regular acorn, right?

[Then again, Aang would drag them through that kind of bullshit for a regular acorn, so he couldn't really be surprised if that were the case. ]

Missing out on the forest of doom is an a-ok option in my book.

[He's smiling. He's SO PROUD. ]

Hard to say. It seemed normal, but it was the seed of the Grand Oak tree in the forest. It was a sylvan and had the acorn stolen from it by the hermit. It asked me to get it back for it.

[personal profile] alwayscomeback 2016-10-23 06:47 pm (UTC)(link)
...

Yep. That sounds like exactly the kind of spirit-y adventure Aang drags us on sometimes.
bryces_pup: (128)

[personal profile] bryces_pup 2016-10-27 05:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Sadly, I'm the one who did the dragging in this case. [A pause.] ...admittedly, I did so in most cases, now that I think about it.

[The joys of being a protagonist in a video game.]
alwayscomeback: (Now let me at the truth)

[personal profile] alwayscomeback 2016-10-28 12:51 am (UTC)(link)
[He gives her a goodnatured smirk-squint. ]

Yeaaaaaaaaaah, you seem exactly the adventure dragging type.
bryces_pup: (18)

[personal profile] bryces_pup 2016-10-29 01:54 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, I absolutely am. Dragged quite a few people around trying to save Ferelden. Though, I must notate, that they were fully aware of what I was doing.
alwayscomeback: DNS (Down the way)

[personal profile] alwayscomeback 2016-10-30 10:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, that's good. No one wants to be dragged on an adventure not knowing all the stakes. Therin lies whining and complaining.
bryces_pup: (39)

[personal profile] bryces_pup 2016-10-31 11:46 pm (UTC)(link)
There was still plenty of that regardless. [Not all of it entirely undeserved.] My friends made an artform of complaining.
alwayscomeback: DNS (Check out who's around)

[personal profile] alwayscomeback 2016-11-02 12:08 am (UTC)(link)
Mine, too. [H'll just imitate Aang's voice ] "Sokkaaaaaa, WHY do we have to do all this hard work when we could just be having fuuuuuuun?"
bryces_pup: (18)

[personal profile] bryces_pup 2016-11-06 02:01 am (UTC)(link)
[She laughs at his imitation.]

Wasn't he the one who was supposed to be saving your world?
alwayscomeback: (And all the faults you've left behind)

[personal profile] alwayscomeback 2016-11-06 08:09 pm (UTC)(link)
He was. But he sometimes just wanted to be a kid, y'know? Forget the weight of the world.
bryces_pup: (110)

[personal profile] bryces_pup 2016-11-08 12:24 am (UTC)(link)
I... can understand that. [She, too, had to grow up quite a bit during her stint of saving the world. Some nights, she longed for the days of just being a nobleborn girl whose biggest worries were what idiot she'd wind up having to marry and finding time to practice her swordwork.] Did he have chances to be a child, if just for a little bit?
alwayscomeback: DNS (We went too far)

[personal profile] alwayscomeback 2016-11-08 01:26 am (UTC)(link)
Sometimes, with us. He got the chance to goof about a couple of times, it was good for him.

[Sokka smiles, a little sad. ]

He didn't get to do it as much, the closer the end of the war we got. He...had a lot to face, in that final battle.
bryces_pup: (17)

[personal profile] bryces_pup 2016-11-13 03:49 pm (UTC)(link)
I am sorry. Someone that young - none of you should have had to do such a thing at that age.
alwayscomeback: (You’re a mountain I’m a stepping stone)

[personal profile] alwayscomeback 2016-11-15 01:08 am (UTC)(link)
It would have been worse if we'd done nothing.

...Anyway, it's not like any of us could really be kids anymore. Not the way things were.

[personal profile] bryces_pup 2016-11-20 08:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Why does it always seem to be youth who pay for the mistakes of their elders?

[Oh dear, there's a bit of bitterness in her tone.]
alwayscomeback: DNS (We went too far)

[personal profile] alwayscomeback 2016-11-22 10:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Honestly, our thing has been going for a hundred years. It's just...not stopped. Until we stepped in, anyway.
bryces_pup: (30)

[personal profile] bryces_pup 2016-11-26 11:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Mmm. You said Aang was this Avatar and had to stop this war, correct? But Avatars reincarnate. If this had been going on for so long, why hadn't the Avatar before Aang done something to stop it?
alwayscomeback: (Fall upon my knees)

[personal profile] alwayscomeback 2016-11-28 12:52 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh boy. Good job opening that can of worms, Riona. Sokka exhales.]

When the war was just starting, a hundred years ago- Aang...err, he was scared, didn't want the pressure. So he kind of- okay this sounds weird, just go with it he ran away and froze himself in an iceberg? For a hundred years.

So he's kind of thirteen. But also a hundred and thirteen at the same time? It's complicated. But that's why he hadn't stopped it, because he was literally out of commission. He... he actually really hates himself for that. I don't think he's ever really forgiven himself.
bryces_pup: (75)

[personal profile] bryces_pup 2016-12-04 07:55 pm (UTC)(link)
...that is not at all what I was expecting.

[But who could expect that honestly??]

I understand his being afraid, especially at such a young age. Admittedly, freezing yourself in an iceberg seems a little drastic, but still, I sympathize.
alwayscomeback: (You’re a mountain I’m a stepping stone)

[personal profile] alwayscomeback 2016-12-04 09:05 pm (UTC)(link)
If you did, I'd be worried about you.

[Only crazy people expect iceberg children. ]

I don't think he meant for it to happen, it just kinda...did. It was hard for him, it still is. All his people were slaughtered while he was asleep- the Fire Nation knew the next Avatar was an Airbender and they just killed them all looking for him.
