Space: That Other Frontier

[markofthewise]

Fine. Going to space does sound cool. But it doesn't make up for losing Suki. Besides, it's not like I'm going there for sightseeing. And these space suits don't sound very flattering either. Did you forget about the thousands of crazy people who will want to kill me?

[And he'll be on the Moon. Do you know how weird that is? What if he damages Yue's face!]

At least it's something to do before all those people from the future show up.

They're really not flattering at all. The suits, I mean. But they keep you alive, and the higher end ones have plenty of useful tools.

But if you can go sightseeing, it's pretty up there. Not the same as Earth, but...

[floralogy]

It's a good thing I'm not going then. Don't even get me started with those hideous space suits. [Ugh.]

[markofthewise]

Are they always so uh... skin tight?

[Seriously, it'll be like wearing nothing...]

[markofthewise]

They'd look better on you than me, at least.

[floralogy]

[She snorts.]

You really think so?

[markofthewise]

Sure. Me? I'm just going to look stupid. Maybe I can wear my armor over it or something.

[floralogy]

Maybe. [Smirks.] And here I thought you were trying to hit on a taken girl with your earlier comment.

[markofthewise]

I'll save the beat downs for the cultists.

[floralogy]

Ha ha, funny, Sokka. [Not amused, though.]

[allmylove_inspace]

That's a new one, actually. Most of the suits I've used are really bulky. Not as bad as the ones you see in museums, but it's like what I think wearing a suit of armor would be like.

Of course, most of the suits I've used were for work. When there's a lot of debris and micrometeorites around, you want some extra protection.

[Ai is also from the late 21st century, so no super-tech for her.]

[markofthewise]

Between you and me? I'll take the space suits and cultists over what's waiting for you guys. I've been in weather like that before. I'm not crazy about doing it again.

[markofthewise]

Well... these are for fighting. I guess. It's kind of unclear.

[floralogy]

Well, my mun thought I'll be more useful back in the village with their need of a telepath and medics.

[markofthewise]

Yeah... well, if you're lucky you won't have to go outside. I spent a week with the worst cold ever after that.

[floralogy]

Hopefully. I don't want to get sick again then have my stupid journal record all my disgraceful sneezing.

[markofthewise]

Yeah, that was pretty disgusting...

1/2

[floralogy]

Yeah, that's something I really--

[floralogy]

--you don't have to say it like that!

[markofthewise]

I'm just being honest with you. You should really pay attention to when your journal is recording.

[floralogy]

I think I already learned that lesson the hard way, thanks.

[markofthewise]

Then consider the rest of us relieved.

[bolder]

Space, huh?

[markofthewise]

Space. I'm wondering how good of a moonbender you'll be.

[floralogy]

Yeah, yeah. Good to know that. [Sometimes, Sokka, you just annoy her so.]

[bolder]

I'll rock it! [Hurhur]
