33 - [voice] Addressed to friends, but not bothering to lock it

[forged_anew]

I guess people are starting to collect more stuff for winter. UGH. I really need my chip out.

[sigh] What a pain. Hey, Sokka, you lived in all that snow. Ideas? How much firewood d'you think we'll need?

Might be time to go on another clothing and supply run too. Anyone need anything?

What chip?

[text]

[forged_anew]

You must be new. The scientists put some sort of device called a chip in everybody's bodies when they arrive. It blocks powers.

What all have you done in preparation?

[forged_anew]

Eh, I've been collecting warm clothes and food. Toph insulated the walls with her Earthbending a while back but she's not around anymore...

[grumble]

To be honest, I've never really had to deal with this... Whenever I went somewhere cold, it wasn't to stay very long.

Sokka's a member of the Water Tribes, an area of the world where there are no trees. But the mountains see quite a bit of snow. Would you like me to give you an estimate?

[moarcowbell.livejournal.com]

Remember what happened last time?

[forged_anew]

[oh, shut up Gyatso. He knew that >.> actually, he didn't pay much more attention to the water tribes than to try to capture Aang at them, but, uh... yeah]

...right.

Sure.

[forged_anew]

What do you mean? Over the summer?

[acreepybrat.livejournal.com]

I guess you're not used to the weather? Huh, Zuko, how long have you been here?

[forged_anew]

[groan] Where I'm from, it's warm year-round.

[...]

Way too long. 'Bout half a year this month.

[acreepybrat.livejournal.com]

Even during winter? I guess it must be pretty different from Discedo, then. It's been pretty cold since I've got here, and people were talking about it snow in the summer~

Half a year? Hmm, that's definitely a while... [Non-committal answer is non-committal. The thought of staying here indefinitely is... huh. Oz can accept that. But Zuko definitely sounds unhappy about it.]

backtagging is allowed? D8

[crystal-eyed.livejournal.com]

...I could use a warmer coat.

Backtagging is love <333

[forged_anew]

Alright. I'll keep an eye out for anything your size.

♥

[crystal-eyed.livejournal.com]

[ ugh, not you toooo ]

Is there a particular reason everyone places so much emphasis on my size?

[flynfruitpies.livejournal.com]

[FFFFFFFFFF. At least he was gentle about it, Zuko?

AND ESTIMATEY STUFF GOES HERE. Mentioning of how much they'll need, how they'll have to store it so that termites don't eat everything, how far the fire will warm, etc.]

XDD

[forged_anew]

...because it's a bit smaller than, uh, a lot of people's?

[crystal-eyed.livejournal.com]

You do realize that my inability to get any taller is a bit of a sore subject for me, don't you?

[forged_anew]

Yeah, it snowed over the summer. It was a huge pain. Which makes it all the more annoying that it's cold again, since we barely got any summer at all.

[oh, Zuko is VERY unhappy about it B| ]

[forged_anew]

[sigh]

That's not what I meant, Eald'narche. What, you'd rather I get you something that doesn't fit? It's just the truth, it's not like I'm trying to insult you or anything.

[crystal-eyed.livejournal.com]

You could have been more subtle, Zuko.

[forged_anew]

[yeah, well, subtlety isn't exactly his strong suit...]

But I just told you that's not what I meant so it shouldn't matter.

[crystal-eyed.livejournal.com]

You're not very considerate, are you...?

[forged_anew]

Huh?

[grumble]

Look, I'm sorry. Happy?

[crystal-eyed.livejournal.com]

That'll do.

[forged_anew]

Good.

So I'll look for a coat for you then. Anything else?
