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?

Do you really think that about me?

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.

Voice

Oh.

He even remembers Luceti and everything. I was going to let him have the smithy back, but he was nice about the whole thing and agreed to work with us instead.

Voice

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

Well that's good! I'll have to thank him.

Voice

[markofthewise]

He seems like a pretty alright guy. Not much of a sense of humor, though. [And Sokka would hate to lose his home away from home. Seriously, where would he keep all his stuff?]

Voice

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

Maybe it's just your bad jokes.

Voice

[markofthewise]

I'll have you know that back home, my 'bad jokes' reached a very large and appreciative audience.

Voice

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

So your world is the one with the bad sense of humor.

Voice

[markofthewise]

Or yours just doesn't have any.

Voice

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

Ouch, Sokka.

Voice

[markofthewise]

You really should have saw that one coming.

Voice

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

Sorry, but I'm not in tune with my funny bone as you apparently are.

Voice

[markofthewise]

A real shame, because I don't think it can be taught.

Voice

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

I think I'd pass on a lesson anyway.

Voice

[markofthewise]

It's probably for the best that way.

Voice

[wings-thatwait.livejournal.com]

You think?

Voice

[markofthewise]

Two funny geniuses in the same smithy? Overkill.

Voice

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

I suppose you're right.

Voice

[markofthewise]

Well anyways, thanks for filling in. If you happen to see Katara, make sure she isn't trying to sneak off and do chores or anything.

Voice

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

No problem, Sokka.

And why?

Voice

[markofthewise]

Because she's supposed to be relaxing today. But Katara never listens to what I tell her to do.

Voice

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

She's got a good head on her shoulders from as far as I can tell. If she's out, she'll be out for a good reason.

Voice

[markofthewise]

Great. Now you're not listening to me either!
