[OPEN] You tell me of our future that you planned...

Characters: Bakura & OPEN
Date: February catch-all log
Location: Various around Khatronma for the first half of the month, then Keeliai and outside the city.
Situation: Assorted run ins. Open starters in the log, closed starters in the comments. Or add your own!
Warnings/Rating: Add warnings if needed in subject headers.


A. KHATRONMA DOCKS, LANDFALL, EVIDET
He's spent almost the entire visit to the continent in Khatronma, having not realized he was desperate to get away from Keeliai for a while until he was actually way from it. Once he was, the air seemed less heavy around him, and he began taking interest in the things he saw. The massive shipyards were fascinating, and the temperature controlled dome let him spend hours walking up and down the berths to examine them.

At the moment, he's stopped his wandering in favour of sitting on the edge of a personal boat shed, the door propped open and an older Bresilykian man inside, working on the overturned hull of a sailboat, or something like it. The Evidet native is keeping up a steady chatter of conversation, and seems to be mid-story about a sailing race that his parents met during.

For the sentimental content, Bakura doesn't even look like he minds. He's even listening, at least well enough to interject with observations and questions during pauses, but he's not carrying the prickly aura he normally projects.

B. WATER SECTOR, KEELIAI
back in Keeliai however, the weather was still bitterly cold. Unfortunately, he still had to go out in order to buy food and necessities, and the hassle of walking all over to find kedan who were willing to sell to Foreigners without ripping them off left him distinctly frozen. He would have been glad to return back to his accommodations had he not been stopped on the street by a crowd of kedan partly blocking the street that ran alongside the canal. They were pulling on skates and venturing out tentatively onto the frozen waterway, and one of them offers a pair of rudimentary skates to the thief.

"No," Bakura said, shaking his head. "Not interested. I don't know how, anyway."

C. JADE SCHOOL OF KUNG FU DOJO, WOOD SECTOR, KEELIAI
Bakura hadn't been here in almost a year (almost two years, if one counted the year that had passed in the Dreaming, and while he was away) and he'd only stopped because he'd been passing by while on his way to something else. But the something else wasn't pressing, and the dojo looked once again abandoned, and so he'd let himself past the low gate and onto the property. He wasn't sure what he expected to happen -- no angry elements came crashing down on his head -- and he touched the clean metal lock on the door.

Ryou must have put that on there. He knew that the dojo had been deeded to the teen when Korra had left the turtle. Now, with Ryou gone as well, it seemed as though it would slip back into disuse.

The lock takes only a moment to pick, and he leaves the door open to step inside. It's immediately obvious that efforts were already made to clean it, but that they hadn't gone very far. Bakura takes a quick tour around the building, making mental notes about what he finds, until he ends up back outside of the dojo's front entrance, staring up at the building with a contemplative frown.

"Hmm..."

Okay, this guy's an absolute party pooper. "Hey, that ice isn't going to crack and break easily," Sokka says matter-of-factly. "It's deep enough that it's not going to crack unless a two-ton elephant mandrill jumped up and down upon it at least a dozen times." And having lived at the South Pole for most his life, he's good at knowing. "The absolute worst that can happen is that you're going to fall down a couple of times and have some unfortunate bruises in the morning. Believe me, I know." He rub his legs rather tenderly at that.
theideaguy: (excited)

"Well it's not a usable skill on its own," Sokka explains, bobbing his head back and forth as if to say that it's slightly more complicated, "unless you happen live in a world full of ice and snow. But that's not the important part of it anyway. The important part is that it's fun! You can get some serious speed with skates if you get good at it! Didn't you ever have races or anything like that growing up?"
theideaguy: (dumbfounded)

Sokka looks over to the clumsier portion of the kedan, chuckles a little bit, but he eventually shakes his head. "Well, I wouldn't expect all of them to be good right away," Sokka says. "How often is the turtle in a position where the canals freeze over this badly? I mean, it took me a few years of practice until I got good with my boomerang."
theideaguy: (panicked)

I'm glad YOU'RE convinced I should do this. :p

"Hey, the icy tundra is like a paradise for me!" Sokka says, waving his arms rather energetically. "It's like home! I love it out here! It's where I think everyone should live!" Sokka just grins and lets that think in. "Besides, desert climates are the absolute worst. Remind me to dig a hole in the turtle shell in advance to bury myself in if it ever gets as hot as that here."

But that said, Sokka just frowns at Bakura at trying to dodge it. "Unless you can find a nice place inside to watch from—and might I say the views from inside are horrible—the warmest place to be is on the ice. Moving. Working out. You won't feel the cold at all!" Again, he nudges the skates at Bakura. Not giving up yet.
theideaguy: (smirky)

Can Bakura even drive? Yeah, not convincing.

Sokka just grins with a not-quite-sinister-but-would-be-sinister-if-it-weren't-Sokka smile. Yes, this is exactly how it should be. He gives the skates to Bakura and then just pushes back from the edge, skating backwards as cool as he could be, arms crossed behind his head.

That is until he bumps into a kedanese child, causing both of them to fall down.

"Hey, watch where you're going!" cries the kid.

"Sorry!"

But still, Sokka pushes himself back onto the ice, which of course takes a bit of effort, but he skates back towards the edge, waiting for Bakura to come onto the ice.
