Who: Apollo and Whoever
Broadcast: Yes and Yes
Action: Yes for part b!
When: 22nd afternoon??

[A: QUESTIONS FOR ALL: Voice/Video/Whatevs convenient]
[This lawyer has been near comatose for about almost a month, so he looks even more tired and irritable than usual when he pops up on the broadcast.]

Er--this seems like an odd thing to ask the general public but it's been on my mind for a while.

Do any of you ever wonder what's going on while we're here? Are our bodies back home in some sort of vegetative state, or in some cases, completely non existent? . . .or, uh, dead, if I have to put some things more bluntly.

I'm fairly sure I'm not, but it's difficult not to think about it.

. . .

In other news, does anyone know any good recipes for a 3 week old giant turkey you forget was stuffed in the freezer, feathers and all?

[B: WORKING OUT action and video]

[For a less pessimistic option, Apollo is attempting to work out his unused muscles on the sad treadmill in the Bloodsport's cargo bay, video going because why not. He does not look unlike a very determined hamster. . .at least until he trips and nearly falls, repeatedly yelling OBJECTION as he stumbles back to finding his pace.]

[you know what, no. let's talk about turkey. he likes turkey. turkey is good. he doesn't know how to cook a turkey but he wants to talk about turkey anyway]

I dunno about recipes but it sounds like you better hope that bird doesn't have freezer burn.

[TURKEYS ARE TOTALLY FINE]

I don't usually keep anything in the freezer for this long, so I have no idea.

I also don't usually put entire animals in the freezer either.

How do you forget a turkey stuffed in a freezer?

[asks the serious questions first]

[TURKEYS ARE A SAFE SUBJECT]

Outta all the animals that could be in your freezer, a turkey is probably the least weird one.

[though Kaito has to admit, usually the birds are de-feathered before they're frozen. . .]

I got sick and blacked out for nearly a month, apparently.

I went to get some astronaut food and then was like, oh right, here's this awful giant bird still.

Ah, that would explain it. Welcome back?

I don't know any recipes, though. I mean, aside from - how to prepare it for Thanksgiving, but that's it.

[For some reason Allen seems to be...sans a left arm, today. The left sleeve is instead pinned up to keep it out of the way. Not that that'll put a damper on his excitement]

You got a turkey?!

[EXCITEMENT. And as an afterthought]

Oh, the theory is you'll get sent back to the exact moment you left.

True enough, there were a lot of weird things on that planet. I just don't know what to do with it now.

You're prob'ly on the right track when you ask about cooking it.

[. . .]

But if it still has feathers you've gotta butcher it too, don't you?

[ew. . .]

Y-yeah, and I've never actually done that, either. I don't even know if we have the tools here for it.

I really did not think this through at the time.

Thanks, but it worries me if that's a common thing.

--wait, Thanksgiving? What day is it?

Mm, unfortunately. I don't know if anyone knows why, aside from - getting new memories sometimes. That's happened to me.

It's the 23rd of November.

[..........a less than subtle stare at the video feed, eyes going straight to that sleeve. BUT LET'S TRY TACT, APOLLO.]

Y-yeah, Trucy helped me catch it a while back. Not sure what to do with it now, though.

And. . .is that a tested theory?

Same here. Still partially convinced someone just hit me in the back of the head and I forgot for a while.

But jeeze, the 23rd?! I knew I had been out for a while, but didn't expect to wake up to a holiday on the horizon! Talk about awkward. But appropriate for a turkey, I guess.

You pluck it, cook it, and eat it of course!

[CONGRATS ON THE TACT APOLLO WE ARE VERY PROUD]

A little. But people will come to this place from different times in their world- and often they'll never notice someone was missing, even if they were taken from an earlier time period.

I'd almost believe that, but I know for a fact that it can have a physical change, too. A few of us have remembered ten years worth of things.

It is oddly appropriate. Though I don't know how many people here know it's coming, or - even what it is. Or celebrate it, for that matter.

I know how to do only one out of those three things properly.

And that's. . .weird. And simultaneously concerning and reassuring. If that's the case I'll just put it out of my head for now.

Well, it's not exactly a global holiday even where I come from so I'm not surprised--but wait, pause on the turkey talk. Ten years?! How? I mean granted, I've just remembered half a year of stuff, but I feel like a decade of information could really change a person!

Hmm ... well I could help with the plucking? I've helped Sokka hunt enough things now that I'm pretty used to doing that.

That might be a good idea. It gets really confusing if you think about it too long.

Being a lawyer means I'm in a perpetual state of confusion and stress, but yeah.

Anyway, that would be appreciated! I've worked with way smaller animals but not something like this. . .I think maybe Clay could help prep it. My idea of cooking is shoving something into the microwave and hoping it doesn't give me food poisoning later.

I fell asleep like you did, and a few days later woke up with ten years of memories and ten years older? [he considers, then shrugs a shoulder] I don't think I changed that much.

um

can i ask what brought this up

S. . .seriously?! You didn't feel weird or--anything? Bodies can't just suddenly age that rapidly either! This just begs more questions. . .!

Of course I felt weird, but - to be entirely fair, my body doesn't age the same as a normal human's.

A general existential crisis after waking up from a near month long nap.
