Who: Sokka and YOU!
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: Blue Fish
When: Before the current event

[Sokka looks a little older than when he last appeared on the feed. He's working on his ageing upgrades, but boy does it take its sweet time getting there. He also looks considerably tired, he hasn't been sleeping well for the past week- for a very specific reason.]

Okay. I'm just gonna make this quick. This is me, Sokka of the Southern Water Tribe, sincerely apologising publicly to Katie for doubting her dream catchers and how they work.

Is that enough? Please tell me it's enough I am really done with the weird cat dreams.

We have sabre toothed moose lions, and tiger sharks, oh oh and snow leopard caribou - buuuuut none of those look anything like the pictures I've seen.

...We do have things that look a LITTLE like Earth cats. But they have beards?? I don't think they're the same.

_{[ There's a pause and then - ]}

Okay, first, I have a couple of questions here, and those are - Do you know what a moose, a lion, a tiger, a shark, a snow leopard, and a caribou are respectively? On their own?

_{[ Because... why? Why do you have those words if those animals are combined? You don't even know what a normal cat is! ]}

Beards?

[alwayscomeback]

You don't really get them on their own. That's how animals in my world are. You can get like...a bear. But that's...super rare and kinda weird.

Beards.

[universal_charm]

So you do know what just a plain moose is, for example?

Like goat beards or a human beard?

[alwayscomeback]

I've seen pictures of them, but not...really? The bear is the only thing I've really seen that's just...a bear.

Human beards can be pretty varied, man. They got like...wise old man beards.

[universal_charm]

All right. So... sorry, I just find this sort of thing rather fascinating - where do your people get the word 'moose' from?

_{[ He really does find this fascinating. Like he is still confused on why the Lions from the Voltron group are called lions. It makes no sense! His science mind is intrigued. ]}

Frankly that fits the personalities of cats in my world well too. It's a shame they don't have something like that.

[alwayscomeback]

I...honestly don't know. If I ever find an expert in languages, I'll let you know.

[So dry. So sarcastic. He's asked the lion question too though, it doesn't make any SENSE. ]

I mean, sure, I guess? If you want a bearded cat.

[universal_charm]

_{[ Why can't other people find this fascinating like he does? He had a minor in linguistics at the Academy. It's all so fascinating! Also, curious how a world without the concept of the animal on its own even has the word. Inquiring minds wish to know! ]}

Do you think your dreams would have been less weird if the cats had beards?

[alwayscomeback]

...Honestly, Jim, my dreams would have been a lot less weird if the cats didn't have human teeth.

[universal_charm]

_{[ You can see him steeping his fingers here. Where was Spock when you needed him? ]}

I'm sure there has to be a meaning behind that. Beyond 'don't insult my dream catcher'.

_{[ His tone implies you probably should have known better in the first place, Sokka. ]}

[alwayscomeback]

[Wow, Kirk. WOW. ]

Yeah I'm pretty sure it's because she's pissy at me for not respecting her magical skill in general.

[universal_charm]

Out of curiosity - why would you think that's a good idea ever?

_{[ Because, really, Sokka - that should have been an obvious no no. ]}

[alwayscomeback]

I'm a science guy, not really a big fan of magic. Plus she got kind of obnoxious about it.

[universal_charm]

_{[ Don’t you come from a world where people literally bend fire, water, earth, and air to their whim, Sokka? ]}

Obnoxious?

[alwayscomeback]

[IT DOESN'T MEAN HE HAS TO LIKE IT. ]

Oh yeah. Real YOU MUST APOLOGISE RAWR.

[universal_charm]

_{[ BUT STILL. ]}

Ah, that type. I feel you. Sometimes you just have to pick your battles though.

[alwayscomeback]

I've always kind of sucked at that? Like I've picked fights with a girl who literally throws lighting and is absolutely crazy . More than once.
