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.

Oh. Well what do you need? I really don't have any order forms I can fill out on me at the moment...

Nah, don't need anything but your equipment. Was wonderin' if I could use your forge to make some weapons. I talked to Winry about it and she said it's fine, just wanted me to run it by you first.

[He has to think about that. The smithy just got all new equipment from the Malnosso, most of which he was still figuring out.]

Do you know how?

No. Just thought I'd burn the place down tryin'. [Hear that Sokka? It's your good friend sarcasm.]

Maybe if you do it without burning the place down, it'll be fine. Just don't make a mess.

[He snorts, almost a laugh.] Don't worry about it. Makin' weapons is kinda my thing.

[Or part of his job? It's hard to tell.]

Sai, katana, butterfly knives, chain weapons, you name it.

Are you asking for a job or something?

Like I said, just need to use your stuff.

[But that's a thought...]

Do ya need the help?

I'd have to run it by Ed, but having extra time off can never hurt.

Well I'm bored as hell, so I been thinkin' up a bunch of projects for myself. On top of the playground business I'll probably be hangin' around there anyway, so if ya need me, just say the word.

Sounds good to me. If it saves you from joining the "SOS Brigade", I consider it a worthy cause.

What's your name?

Raphael.

And don't even mention that goddamn stupid club.

I've managed to ignore it for the past four months.

My brother joined it, but I was ignorin' it up until the guy started callin' himself "divine overlord" or whatever. The guy's doing good for the place, but he's full of shit.

I've heard worse titles.

Don't even tell me. Ugh, I gotta talk to Mikey.

[Wait, wasn't the one doing the playground named Don?]

So you have two brothers?

Three, actually. You'll meet Leo if we bump into you at the shop. We gotta make his sword first.

Oh good. Swords are my specialty.

Ha. Doubt he'll let ya touch it. He's pretty picky, an' we've been makin' them together for years.

Welcome to watch, but it's nothin' special.

Oh. [That's disappointing. He likes swords.]

But he's just anal. I'm not much of a sword guy myself, but he'll go on about 'em if you ask.

I'm plannin' on makin' a set of manriki after that's finished, though. [C'mon, those're way cooler than those stupid steak knives.] And I know we barely got any shuriken left.

Sounds like you guys are going to be at in there for awhile, huh.

Probably, if ya don't mind.

Help yourself! A full smithy is a happy smithy.
