[ Voice ]

So, who here's heard of dinosaurs?

[ He's been reading Michael Crichton lately, sue him. Also, he genuinely wonders how many not-Earth people have, given a lot of animals do seem similar between a lot of worlds, but... dinosaurs though. ]

[ Action ]

[ Well, there are normal staples of Masaomi's day: you can see him working the Convenience Store if you want, you can see him shopping for clothes, you can see him in the library (perhaps picking up some books in the aforementioned dinosaurs), or training (in a tank top and shorts) at the Battle Dome. At the end of the day you might also see him going to HQ for the end of the night.

But... something else is at the Dome today fore someone who wants special stuff. Namely, once he's tired and sweaty and Linda has worked herself hard, Masaomi is still using his room, but he's using it to project images of all sorts of dinosaurs based on a picture book that he picked up at the library. To see them in motion, because why wouldn't you try to do something like that? ]

Eeeh, but couldn't any random flying pokémon keep pace wit ha jetpack?

[ Even if that sounds awesome by his own world's standards ]

And you haven't had pandemonium and people being devoured en masse yet, even.

[Hmm] There are some flying pokemon that could potentially keep up with them, but I suppose there is the risk that Team Rocket would try to do something to them if they were followed.

[Though honestly, it's not even that being the main issue: he and his friends are usually just relieved that they're leaving and easily distracted by their victory rather than even thinking of going after them most of the time.]

Okay! I'll try not to take too long! [So much for trying to prove her power over a boy...even though he did bring her a cute spiky gift!]

Not to mention that quite a few of the best steaks still have their bone in them too.

[Sokka looks down at his handiwork and realizes that, all things considered, he's mostly done taking care of everything involved.]

Well, that's it for this one. Since you're just so raring to give this a go, shall we proceed?

[With a wink, he nudges a fox over towards Masaomi.]

[OOC: We can totally timebend and handwave going forward if you want?]

Huuuh. Fair enough, then.

[ No need to question could've beens. ]

[ Well. Well, then he'll be waiting for her here at the door. It doesn't matter to him that much, with a bit of a grin ]

[ Hahah. He grimaces, but nods, he can do this!

...

But he also totally can't. It's his first attempt, and certain cuts are sloppy. He ends up near-gagging once or twice, and while he doesn't relent, he does end up causing some excess things to get ripped off in the process of cutting and skinning. Hell, the skin itself is in no way useable probably even if the meat is. But at least he didn't nick the bladder.

...

He'll get more steady hands in time, but right now he's a little bit embarrassed, with it over ]

[She places it on a small table in the sitting room. Not the center of attention but visible enough...briefly, she imagines Daria getting a kick out of this thing. It's spiky, after all. Maybe she'll actually smile.]

Okay, I'm ready!

[For what it's worth, Sokka doesn't laugh at all the mistakes. While the warrior does have a general policy of not staying serious for more than 30 seconds at a time, it's actually all thrown out the window here. He will occasionally tell him with a panicked move to watch the cut and to advise him to make the cuts shallower and not quite so deep. When there is a mistake that is able to be recovered, Sokka will gently slice of a bad part from Masaomi's fox and keep on moving. Yes, it's not pretty in the end, and there's a lot of waste, but going through the motions helps.

[Once they're done, Sokka just nudges Masaomi's shoulder with his elbow.]

Hey, don't sweat it. No one gets it perfect the first time. I've been doing this stuff for years, hunting with my dad since I was 12. Besides, you did a better job the first time than Katara ever did. She ran away crying.

That's... that's hard to picture. [ Maybe he just has an inflated image of Katara, but he latches onto that, both doubting and finding humor in it as he leans himself back against one of the fridge here. He tries to laugh it off, but he's appreciative of Sokka's insights and his help ]

And welcome back, Quinn-san.

[ He is half-bowing when she comes back out and holds out his hand, for her to take ]

You'll just have to ask her about that if you ever get the chance. [The story is probably at least partially true. He might be exaggerating (actually the odds of that are good), though Sokka won't say. Besides, it's one of the things he can hold over his sister, that he is the expert hunter out of the two of them, especially here where she's older than he is.]

But! But at the very least, you're still going to have food for people from the shop, right? It's certainly a start, just in case the Mallies ever turn off the food spigot in the Grocery. [In the meantime he's just going to do the work of plucking and gutting the bird that he found. He could do this in his sleep.]

[Which she does] Thank you! Shall we be going?

Well, about that...

Right. I remember reading about that in some books before. It kind of makes you wonder why the dinosaurs didn't survive, though.

[But that's a topic for another discussion-- right now he just wants to go see them for himself.

Which means he's going to start into the jungle very slowly and cautiously, looking around to make sure there isn't anything close by.]

That's the idea! Or if those southern farmlands ever get lost so they have to send less. [ He shrugs, trying to regain is cool a little more. He closes his eyes, to imagine Katara being that vulnerable .... for something he's not partially responsible for. It's kinda funny, actually ]

This world's pretty up in the air, after all.

We shall, we shall. As ancient proverbs have told us, we're off, because no time can be the same as the present.

[ And with her hand held - he takes a wide stride on ahead to lead on off away. Let's get moving ]

[ WHAT ABOUT THAT?! He's waiting here. Um ]

And here I'm thankful they didn't. Otherwise, wouldn't I have scales?

[ This is said with a sense of humor, coming on in too. He starts to walk through the underbrush here (not that there is much - a lot of the plants seem to be centered up high in the trees) and looks around him. There's a lot of sounds (particularly once he closes the door behind Emil) but there doesn't seem to be one in the immediate area. Yet ]

[And she does her best to keep in step with him while also walking with ladylike steps. Her theory isn't exactly being proven as planned, but maybe it's better this way.]

So, Quinn-san, I can't say I know too much about you other than the name. Like an age, profession...? I guess that's a bit boring for walk-talk, but you could bare with me.

I'm eighteen, and I'm technically a college student. Or I will be when I officially get started at the school! How about you?

[Masaomi's comment piqued Sokka's interest, first because he hadn't known about that, and second because it he hadn't really asked about the particlars of their relationship with the Malnosso.]

So the Malnosso are the ones cultivating the food sent to us in the stores? [Pause.] I mean, of course they are; they have to get it from somewhere. I just figured... it was more magical than that. [After all, the grocery packaged everything, and that wasn't that common in Sokka's world. No wonder the previous Sokka had been so adamant about it.] Yeah, who knows what's going to happen with that if the war with those other guys gets any worse.

You might also have fangs and claws too. That would be kind of cool... but I guess you're right. I like dinosaurs, but I'm not sure I would want to be one.

[He's keeping his eyes open for any that might happen to be nearby, just in case they overheard what he was saying and took it as an insult. At least the plants here aren't too thick, making it both easy to walk through and easy to see if anything is trying to sneak up on them.]
