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.

You're probably better off asking Caesar about that.

Yeah. And his brother, probably.

Yeah. They know a lot more than I do about him.

So anyway. How are you doing, Hugo? Anything... interesting?

Well, we're in the desert now, for one. It's a lot hotter out here than I expected.

And you? How have you been?

You've been keeping an eye on Toph, right?

Just... making boats.

Yeah, I have. We'll probably finish soon enough... [Maybe.]

Well, that's productive, at least.

... I should have went out with your guys.

Don't worry about it. Besides, you want to get those boats done as soon as you could, right?

Yeah, I guess that's true.

I think Toph has some other project she had to work on after that too. She knows how to keep busy.

Another one? I hope she's not trying to tire herself out.

I don't think it was planned that way.

What do you mean?

She signed up over a month ago. I think it was just poor planning that they happened so close together.

That makes sense. [Poor Toph. Then again, she was also helping with the barricade, right? There's also the White Lotus and all...] I'll try to make sure she doesn't work herself too hard.

Don't make it too obvious. She's likely to punch you. Anyway, she's Toph. She won't work any harder than she wants to. Ask Katara, she'll tell you that.

[Snickers.] Fine, I won't. She probably wouldn't like it anyway.

You may be well on your way towards remaining on her good side.

Do you think so?

Actually I have no idea.

[...] Is it that easy to get on her bad side?

As long as you leave her alone and don't act too mopey around her, you'll be fine!

[Well, moping wouldn't be what he'd doing for the next few days, at least. Their leader, on the other hand... He's not certain.] I'll remember that, then.

Good. See that you do!

All right.

Anyway, I better go before they realize I'm slacking off. I'll talk to you when I get back?
