03 | [Voice/Action for people on The Sun]

Uh. Snow usually isn't suppose to be green, is it? I mean, I really don't think so, but...is this suppose to mean something? [A pause] If I didn't know better I'd swear Ace had something to do with this.

[Despite all the confusion from Asami, instead of staying in her room, she decides to walk around the ship. Anyone on The Sun will more than likely get a fist full of green snow thrown at them if they're walking around.

Why? Just because.

Someone has a little too much free time on their hands at the moment]

I'm guessing they live in cooler climates, too? Because if they do, then yeah, that's a really uncanny coincidence.

All the time. The South Pole always has snow. [In fact, she's pretty sure the snow and ice has never melted there once] There's also the North.

[He's a little astonished by this.]

Huh. That sounds worse than home.

[That does surprise her a little]

Really? I never thought it was too bad.

Normally, cold means wind, rain, sleet, hail, andsnow. Doesn't help when the climate and weather act like that year-round.

[He may be exaggerating, teens and all]

I think it depends on the people. I could do without the snow all the time, but they have a lot waterbenders so the climate seems to be convenient for them.

[oh yeah, she should clarify one part]

Not that I live there.

Waterbenders? Wait, where do you live?

–Sorry for all of the questions.

Don't worry about it, I'm happy to answer any questions.

Waterbenders...they bend the water. [A pauses] And I live in Republic City.

Bend? Is that like, controlling water? How does that even work?

Republic City sounds huge.

That's the gist of it. It's a little complicating, but it basically has to do with the chi in your body.

It is. It's one of the bigger cities out there.

[Except for Ba Sing Se]

Hmm. You're right about it being complicated, but it's really interesting.

How many people live there with you? What's it like?

I think so. I'm not a bender, so I'd be lying if I said it didn't fascinate me.

Well over 1,000 for sure. As for what it's like...I'd say just like any other city? We have cars and businesses just like any other place, but I think the technology is more advanced than here.

Yeah, I'm with you on that one.

A thousand? Yikes. [That's hard to picture. A good number of Vikings wouldn't even amount to a city population.] Wait, so you're saying everything is really advanced? How advanced can you get?

For the most part. [She thinks this over, then decides to ask:] Do you know what are car is? Or a phone?

Uuh no, I don't.

Well a phone...it's a way to communicate with people through long distances. Kind of like the journals we have now, except it's all done through telephone wires.

[Not that the phone is the best example of advance technology, since the journals work just as well and are even portable]

A car is just a vehicle with wheels and it's powered by an engine, you can get pretty fast on them. [A pause] We also have planes, they're used for air flight.

I can see how wires make it a little more practical than a magical journal.

[He just doesn't know how bad it can get if wires get cut or phones lines are dropped.]

So...a car is basically an advanced version of a cart? With no animals to pull it. That's something. [He pauses at the thought of a plane.] You mean people fly in your world, too? This is the first time I've ever heard anyone say that.

It really depends on how you look at it, I think.

[That serves as a problem, especially if a big part of the city experiences a power outage]

That's pretty much the basis of it, yeah. I haven't seen an animal pull a cart in a long time. [A lot of people still don't have planes it seems] They work similar to cars in some ways, in sense that they both run on engines.

[He makes a thoughtful hum, nodding on his end. Unless they were both introduced to mobile cellular devices...]

And both the cars and planes are sat on?

[Yeah, a mobile device is new to her as well]

They both have seats, but you can usually seat four people in a regular car. Planes usually seat just one.

That sounds about right. For us, it's one rider per dragon unless the dragon's big enough to carry two or more.

I'd like to change that, maybe make it so one more can fit on. [There's a beat as Asami thinks on the dragon part] How often do you fly with your dragon?

[It's like ten times a day, isn't it?]

Hey, that'd be a good start. People need to experience flying, it's great!

[Oh, he wishes it can be like that– wait, he can do that.]

Whenever I could. We sorta fell behind on our flight schedule for about two weeks, so I try to get in as much as we can without losing sight of the ship.

Now? I think more people will. They were only used for military purposes at first, but we've since changed that.

[Ngl she wants to try flying on a dragon some day]

So it sounds like you still get a lot of opportunities to fly. [You can just hear that smile on her. Being a Viking sounds pretty cool okay] I wish I could say the same for me.

[Hey, coming from a big city is just as neat.]

Oh. Right. This place isn't that advanced, is it?
