He - because of me? I thought he just liked making puns.

Damnit, now I'm flushing.

I wanna draw Starlo in a winter outfit. He's got a thick, very heavy poncho with soft wool inside. Very thick shirts and pants and big snow boots. And one of those ear flap hats. Oh and a scarf!! And he's still cold and complains about it

Saya's survival skills in the desert are second to none. Even if she barred all of the prep she did for her multi-month long excursions, she still would be able to survive off the land and has many techniques under her belt that have saved her in a pinch.

Normally, she prepares her bike aptly before going out, ensuring every mechanism works properly. Parts that appear to be dodgy or worn are replaced, and she'll bring a small set of tools with her just in case she needs to make an emergency repair.

The bike itself is loaded with extra canisters of gasoline, a few emergency food rations, and tons of water. Her bike can fit a rather hefty load, and she will load it up to its absolute limits. Better safe than sorry!

The clothes she brings along are all light colors, and are loose fitting to ensure proper airflow and cooling. They are also moisture wicking, which only bolsters the cooling effect of these items. Goggles are a must, along with something she can wear over her mouth and nose. Both of these items prevent her from getting sand particles in her mouth and eyes, as valley fever is the last thing she wants to come down with in the middle of the wilderness.

For food, she relies on her emergency rations only in a pinch. Most of the time, she will hunt for food with her team. They all share their keep with one another, though Saya has to cook hers over a fire before she can safely eat. She also relies on desert fruits, like various non-toxic cacti fruits along with whatever else she can find.

Saya knows the ins and outs of desert plants, as taking care of plants (judging by her large collection of desert flora in her personal chambers), is a hobby of hers. She works with toxins found in some of these plants, such as the desert rose, and knows which flora are poisonous and lethal, and which are safe.

This knowledge is used to acquire water. Most species of cacti are very toxic as far as the water they store goes. The water of some cacti are heavy in acids and alkaloids, preventing thirsty wild pokemon and humans from taking advantage of it. However, there are a couple of cacti species that are safe as far as water consumption goes in a pinch. Saya knows these to be the prickly pear, and fishhook barrel cactus.

Though she is well-versed on the desert plantlife and knows where she can get sources of water from safely through these plants, she tends to only utilize that method in a dire pinch. Should she run out of the many gallons of water she brings, she follows the footprints of wild pokemon to fresh (and exceedingly rare) water sources found naturally in some parts of the desert. Other times, when that isn't an option, she will make a solar still or find sources of water via digging in areas with lush vegetation, or by digging in outside bends of dry creek beds.

Most of the time, she will do her traveling at night when its cooler. In the day, she will relax and stick to any sources of shade she can find. Sometimes it isn't an option and she will need to travel in the daytime hours, though she tends to mitigate it when she can by moving in the earliest hours of the morning, or at sunset. Her sense of direction is incredibly strong, able to pinpoint where she is and where she's going simply by looking at how the stars/moon move during the night, and by how the sun moves/is positioned in the day. Even in sandstorms, her sense of direction is impeccable, and where many people would find themselves getting lost or turned around, Saya can always find her way out.

Sokka: Can’t you watch where you’re…?

Toph: Nope!

Sokka: Right! Sorry.

Sokka: Drink cactus juice! It’ll quench ya! Nothing’s quenchier. It’s the quenchiest!

Katara: Okay, I think you’ve had enough.

Sokka: Who lit Toph on fire?

Katara: What is that?

Toph: What, what is what?!

Sokka: It’s a giant mushroom! Maybe it’s friendly!

Katara: Let’s just keep moving. I hope Aang’s okay.

Sokka: Friendly mushroom! Mushy giant friend!

Are you alright? I heard about the argument with Kaveh. -@ask-cyno

You should be asking him. He found out about the pin board; he wasn't happy. That's not something you should be checking me after.

RULES

Keep it PG-13! No NSFW questions, RPs, or links. A little wink is fine, but let's not turn this into a forbidden romance novel.

Hugs, not hate. Any form of negativity towards others is a no-go zone. Let's keep this space as friendly as a puppy with a wagging tail.

The Mod isn't winning any medals for the most active participant. Show a bit of patience, give it 1-2 days before sending that ask again.

The Mod is like a cat – occasionally elusive. DMs are not the go-to communication method, but in dire straits, the Mod will reluctantly emerge from the shadows.

No shipping wars allowed. All ships (of age) are embraced here. It's a love boat, not a battle ship.

If you're itching for some OC RP action, check in with the Mod first and give a nod to the associated blogs' mods. We're all about consent and coordination.

Remember, these aren't rules; they're more like friendly nudges in the right direction.
