markofthewise | Sokka the 21st

[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.

As replacements for their old experiments?

Maybe they think we won't burn out so easily.

I'd rather we didn't burn out at all.

Hey, me too. But do a poll sometime, see how many people here have saved the world. I'm betting the concentration is higher than average.

Yeah, I kinda get the feeling it would be. They really don't settle for everyday people here, do they?

Except for me!

You've probably saved like a small town or something once, right?

I've seen a few villages burn, that's about it.

I guess you weren't able to help?

What, it's my job to stop things from burning, now? I don't have superpowers.

My sister wouldn't let us pass a single town in any amount of distress. It's a wonder we managed to save the world in time.

She's probably got the ability to change things. And is not a mere jujube salesman.

It helps that she has a tendency to go into big speeches about how we can't turn our backs on people and so forth.

... and I'm not buying the salesman story.

But I sell so much.

Yet I don't think the Malnosso would be interested in a salesman, regardless of your age.

Someone's gotta slip though the cracks.

Spies are good at that.

Still with that crazy theory.

I don't think it's that crazy.

It's sensationalist at the very least. Next you'll be telling me I'm married to a vampire.

I would!

... if I knew what a vampire was.

Horrific blood-sucking mystical hag creature. Very popular in the novels. Just like spies!

Why would you want to marry someone like that?

I have no idea. Why would I want to be a spy?

It pays better than being a salesman?
