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.

I wonder if the birds in the forest could be trained for that.

Maybe one day I'll introduce you to Dominguez III.

Shouldn't he be related to his predecessor?

Well, Dominguez Jr. is the son of the original Dominguez, but I like to think I'm carrying on the legacy if not the bloodline.

I wonder if there's any chance for a Hawky Jr. here.

Well, it is easier to train birds if you can talk to them.

I'm not sure that will stop them from wanting to claw your eyes out.

Ah, I'm afraid they're even more inclined to do that.

Well that sounds fun.

You were the one who asked!

Right then. Squirrels.

But first you've got your boat to deal with.

Do you think fish can talk if they're not in the water?

Probably not if you've got a hook through their mouth.

That's what I'm hoping for.

Are there even fish in the lake here? It's been too cold for me to check.

I hope so. Otherwise it'll be a waste of a fishing trip.

The point of fishing trips isn't always to catch fish.

It was back home.

I think some people do it for the scenery. Or the company. Or because they like to get up really early.

Those all sound like good reasons. I did it because I was hungry.

It's what separates sport from necessity, I suppose.

I guess it's going to be sport here.

You certainly don't need to kill to eat, here. They take care of all that unpleasantness for you. It's interesting though, you grew up in a fishing village? On the South Pole?

Well. There were penguins and tiger seals too. [What's weird about living in the South Pole? Nothing.]
