Sokka the 21st - [Action/Voice]

[markofthewise]

[After a month of planning and a week of top secret work, Sokka has finished the final touches on the prototype canoe for the fleet that has yet to be built. And by finished, he of course made use of Usopp constantly. But what are across-town neighbors for anyway? So after getting his pride and joy finished, including a nice coat of paint (it's blue!) with the Water Tribe Emblem on both sides and in what is most likely a suicidal move, the Straw Hat flag mounted on the back.

An eager Sokka has already managed to pull it all the way past House #4 (with wheels obviously!) so he can test if its seaworthy (well, riverworthy) as he rides it down to the river all the way back towards his home next to the barracks. Even though he isn't planning on getting to it, he's brought along his fishing pole and some bait, just in case he gets swept down to the lake and has to survive on his own fishing and cooking skills for weeks on end while waiting for a rescue that might not ever come. So. Just in case. People may of course notice him sailing downstream and possibly try to drop things on him as he goes under the bridges.

Before he'll go though, he'll 'accidentally' leave his journal open for an 'accidental' voice post.]

This is Sokka. Casting off into the big, er, small blue... maybe kind of greenish brownish river in my vessel, The Insert Name Here. Wish me luck.

[Prepare to be shouted at through the journal in three... two... one...]

OI! Where'd ya get the stuff to build a ship?

[voice]

[markofthewise]

I gathered it up myself. Found a good tree, used some leftover wood by the barracks, found some paint... and now I have a boat.

[zehahaha.livejournal.com]

Casting off?

Voice

[markofthewise]

It's the nautical term for er, leaving. Or taking off. Something like that.

[latkje]

You really have to try everything, don't you?

[voice]

[markofthewise]

Well it's not like this is a first for me. I lived in the South Pole, I know my way around boats.

[chaincutter]

A poor name for a ship.

[voice]

[markofthewise]

It's a work in progress.

[A boat. Okay... Anyways.] Hey, uh. Sokka. You're the guy Winry told me to talk to about the smithy.

[Voice]

[markofthewise]

Oh right! You're that guy from before. [Red suits you better, Mr. Turtle.] Is this about the playground?

[Vash has been wandering the forest today, so he'll stop to stare as you sail by. He's never seen a boat before.]

[And Sokka will wave as he moves on along.]

Vessel? What kind of vessel?

[Voice]

[markofthewise]

A canoe!

[mikangirl.livejournal.com]

The Insert Name Here, huh? What kind of boat is it?

[Curious navigator is curious.]

[markofthewise]

It's a canoe. I guess Usopp didn't tell you about it.

[Guybrush watches Sokka drift by, grinning at the site of the vessel.]

Hey! Nice canoe, Sokka!

[Action]

[markofthewise]

[Sokka will wave as he passes by.]

Thanks Guybrush!

Nice name there Sokka.

[Voice]

[markofthewise]

Yeah, thanks Zuko.

[flamesofkaraya.livejournal.com]

You were able to make it, Sokka?

[Voice]

[markofthewise]

Only the one. We still have to make the fleet!

[Voice]

[markofthebrave]

You made a boat?

[Voice]

[markofthewise]

Yeah! I guess you didn't see me and Usopp over by the barracks, huh?
