[After a few hours of watching, pushing buttons, and general trial-and-error... The camera focuses on a cheery blue ball rolling out of the frame… and then back in. And then back out… back in. Back out… back in. Wash, rinse, emphasis on repeat. This goes on just long enough to prompt thoughts of whether or not it’s a recorded loop before Sokka breaks the silence.]

Anybody got a name for this thing? It looks like a seal that swallowed a whole melon! Which I’m sure was not appreciated by its sister seals. Melons being a precious commodity and all, d’you know how much we have to trade for one? Tons of seal pelts. Way too many to risk actually feeding a melon to one.

Seals only eat fish, anyway!

Also, why is it blue? Seals don’t get cold enough to turn blue. Anything who’d turn blue at living in the Poles reeeeally needs to go house-hunting. Like, far away, because ice is really the only building block we got. I mean, they’re good insulation, but only if you do it right. And that tends to require opposable thumbs. Flippers are cool, but this guy's are seriously weak.

So… help?

...and, by the way, a boomerang is a totally legit weapon, okay? You throw it, it hits, it comes back.

All right, all right, I believe you. _{[She's only ever seen TOY boomerangs, but hey. She can believe that they're lethal!]}

But uh-- ... man, I hate to be the bearer of bad news all over the place, but... if we were allowed to have swords here? I'd totally already have one.

A real one.

As it is? Only got this.

_{[She rummages in her bag for a moment and comes out with a basic wooden sword.]}

Anything else? BAM. Police everywhere scolding you for carrying something dangerous around.

[THE WORLD HAS BEEN AT WAR FOR 100 YEARS WHAT THE NONSENSE IS THIS.]

Well, when all you have is a hammer--or a wooden sword, in this case. Man. That's pretty harsh.

To offset your bad news, you got anythin' good to tell me about?

Edited 2011-10-05 07:45 (UTC)

Well, uhhh...

... It's pretty here?

_{[Cue the waaah-waaaauw trombone.]}

... But no, seriously, aside from the... overly-earnest locals and the occasional giant nature freakout, this place is nice. Better than home for some of us.

[Sokka grins. HE APPRECIATES YOUR HUMOR.]

It is pretty here. Good observation! Kinda warm, but definitely pretty.

Think I can handle giant nature freakouts, and earnest locals don't sound too bad.

[...hey, beats 'raised on Empire propaganda,' right?]

_{[Comedy is the universal tension-tamer!]}

Heh, don't worry... the warmth'll go faaaar away once winter starts setting in... _{[... It probably won't be able to beat Sokka's homeland, but at least it'll be a LITTLE closer!]}

But yeah, uh... I mean, the place has its ups and downs like anywhere else, but overall...

[It is, and therefore a wonderfulwonderful thing.]

Overall, it ain't that bad? I guess it can't be.

[He points the PokeGear back at his Spheal.]

Free pets and all.

That's how I look at it!

You'll get used to the weird stuff after awhile.

... Anyway, uh.

Name's Heather.

Sokka. It's great to meet you, Heather.

[He shrugs.]

I can do weird. Weird I'm actually kinda used to, so we'll just have to get past the initial 'who-what-when-where' and things should be golden.

Sokka, huh? I like your attitude.

Better than most people who totally flip out upon arrival.

Ehehe, wellll...

[IT'S NOT THE MIDDLE OF A WAR, he can afford to be cool.]

Guess I'm just cool like that. Still, it's pretty nice of you to pop in and help. How long have you been here?

I was one of the first to come here that I know of, actually.

Been here over a year.

... Not everybody stays that long, though.

Yeah, my sister was saying something weird like that, about me maybe being here before? Or maybe Aang was. Something like that.

[He shrugs.]

So you're like, The Johto Expert? The Supreme Guru of Pokemon? The All-Knowing Master--or Mistress, I guess, if you prefer that--of What The Heck Is Going On Here?

Oh-- really? _{[She sounds interested. And-- ... actually now that she THINKS of it... Sokka looks a little familiar. She hadn't talked to the last one more than maybe... once, and very briefly.]} Yeah, that happens sometimes, too.

But uh-- hey, I don't mind Master. Mistress sounds a little too fancy, I think.

I'm no expert, but I like to think I got a better handle on what's goin' on than most.

Soooo...

_{[CUE A COCKY HAIR FLIP.]}

Master of What the Heck is Going On Here is an acceptable title! I claim it in the name of me.

And I bestow it in the name of you! Hope you get some good use out of it.

You know, I think I will.

Good! I hope to hear it announced as you pass by.

There'll be fanfares and everything.

How about a drumroll? I think you need a drumroll.

Just a drumroll?

Please, I need an entire drumcore doing all that fancy marching band crap. With like... formations.

While they carry the fanfare guys on their shoulders!

I bet there's kings who do that.

Totally. It's very royal.

There should be some cheerleaders on top of the fanfare guys, too.

Cheer... leader?

I know what a cheer is and I know what a leader is, but... not quite sure I've heard the two together?

Totally support you having a few, though.

You don't know what--? .... HUH.

I guess eskimos don't have 'em, huh?

_{[... SHE IS TOTALLY ASSUMING HE IS AN ESKIMO BECAUSE HE TALKED ABOUT SEALS AND LIVING ON AN ICE FLOE AND SHIT.]}

E--eski-whosi-ma-whatwhat?
