Sokka the 20th - [Action/Voice]

[markofthewise]

[The whole Gaang is back together. So naturally it's good times all over again. Except Toph is still on bed rest and Zuko is still in very bad shape. And at the center of it is Katara, who despite his usual thickness for these kind of matters, even Sokka can't help noticing it. And so after some thought and consideration, some soul searching, lots of food, and a very enlightened walk where after kicking a rock, it bounced off a tree and caused him to fall off the bridge into the river, he decided it was time for Sokka to step up. That was yesterday.

So today, starting from this morning, Sokka has decided to play Team Dad for Team Avatar. Which includes keeping Toph from going bored out of her skull, Zuko from killing himself trying to move, Aang from doing something stupid like trying to ride a singing lion, and of course ensuring that Katara actually eats, sleeps, and relaxes. This means Sokka won't be going into the smithy today or anywhere else for that matter. It also means Sokka will be preparing the meals as well, which will be edible, if not exceptional. He'll even clean up the house! And ruin do the laundry!]

I have important stuff back home to deal with. You guys take care of the smithy. And uh, you guys probably should meet each other too. I guess that would be helpful. Ed? Winry is the blond, quiet girl working on the cool gadgets. Winry? Edward is the big guy with the huge sword. Have fun!

Since Katara is going to be busy today, do you think you could come over sometime today and check up on Zuko?

Quiet? That's a first.

Am I wrong?

Voice

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

No, I suppose not.

On the other hand, if you want to introduce me as the loud sarcastic guy, I think that would be perfectly valid.

Voice

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

At least you admit it.

Voice

[markofthewise]

I really don't consider them faults that need hiding.

Voice

[wings-thatwait.livejournal.com]

Then maybe you need a reality check.

Voice

[markofthewise]

Loud just means I'm outgoing and not afraid to speak my mind. Being sarcastic means I take reality for what it is and give a humorous, if not somewhat cynical spin on it.

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

Or maybe you're an obnoxious thorn in people's sides? I guess your version works too.

Voice

[markofthewise]

Do you really think that about me?

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

I'm pulling your leg, Sokka. So who is this Edward guy?

Voice

[markofthewise]

Do you remember "Lloyd and Edward's Awesome Smithy"? Guess which one he was.

[Filtered]

[tanukipoint.livejournal.com]

I can come right now. How is he?

[Filtered]

[markofthewise]

Better than when we found him. But there was only so much Katara could do for him.

[Filtered / Action]

[tanukipoint.livejournal.com]

Okay. I'm on my way.

[Judgments are best left reserved until he can see the damage with his own eyes. Any amount of time later, he'll be knocking at the Gaang's door with his trusty backpack slung around his shoulders.]

[Action]

[markofthewise]

[And Sokka will open the door when he arrives. Ah, that was fast!]

Chopper! Very timely. [Oh wait, don't compliment him too much. Or... things that cannot be unseen will occur.]

[The Chopper Dance is too good for you anyway >|]

I came right away! Where's the patient?

[Action]

[markofthewise]

He's in his room, over here. [Sokka will escort Chopper to Zuko's room and stand by the door. When it comes to healing, Sokka is very much a novice (being the kind of person who managed to get two fishhooks stuck in his hand by trying to remove the first one with the second, after all).]

[Zuko has been told to stay in bed and not move pretty much for the last 4 days. He's bored of it. However he's still hurting despite everything Katara has done for him, so he's not complaining too much. He'll look up when Sokka opens the door. And keep looking as he's never met Chopper before. Why did Sokka bring a ...what kind of animal is that anyway... into his room?]

[Action]

[tanukipoint.livejournal.com]

[The little reindeer doesn't exactly clue in to Zuko's confusion, but he knows a severe case when he sees one. Already he can pick up the scent of burnt flesh and blood. He looks up at the firebender very seriously and takes out his medical kit.]

My name is Chopper. I'm a doctor, so please cooperate with me. [He pulls a stethoscope and some antiseptic from the kit.] What caused these injuries?

[Action]

[markofthewise]

[Sokka still keeps off to the side, but he stays in the room. Zuko isn't exactly the trustworthy type.]

Zuko, Chopper is from Sanji's crew. [Sokka doesn't know if Zuko has met the other Strawhats, but he should at least know the guy who fed them for a few months. He then turns to Chopper.] He was captured and tortured by Aku. He was had a battle with Yuber. ... he was hit by lightning several times.

[Action]

[restoremyhonour.livejournal.com]

Hi. [Zuko remembers the guy who fed them. He hasn't met most of the other Strawhats though.]

Mostly caused by lightning and swords.

[Action]

[tanukipoint.livejournal.com]

[Aku and Yuber? Chopper is extremely impressed that Zuko made it out at all. He climbs up onto the bed and sets the stethoscope in his ears; possible delayed arrhythmia as a result from the lightning concerns him first and foremost. The smell of fever and infection is heavy on his patient as he closes in and spots the burn on Zuko's shoulder. He feels a stab of pity before turning to look at Sokka.]

Can you help him remove his shirt?

[Action]

[markofthewise]

[Wait, he has to help strip Zuko down? Awww man, he didn't sign up for this! Well, that's what friends are for. So he'll come alongside the other side of the bed.] Zuko, this is going to hurt me a lot worse than you. Well... probably not. But I'll try to make it so it doesn't. [And he'll do his best to carefully remove the shirt without aggravating any of his injuries, numerous as they are.]
