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.

Yeah, thanks Zuko.

Maybe you should name the next one Insert Name Here Mark 2

The first one is going to have a name! We just haven't picked one yet.

How can you set sail without naming a boat?

The same way we did with all our boats back home. We don't name them at all.

You're meant to name boats Sokka. Before you sail them.

There's no rule that says that.

It's the way it works. You've just named your boat The Insert Name Here and changing its name is bad luck.

Are you trying to impose your Fire Nation rules and traditions on my Water Tribe boat? Because that's not cool, Zuko. Not cool at all.

No. I'm not imposing anything on you. I'm just pointing out that you should have thought of a name for the boat before you showed it's launching and called it The Insert Name Here.

Maybe I should call it The Zuko Knows Everything.

While I'd appreciate the sentiment, I don't know everything Sokka.

Really? Maybe you should stop acting like you do. It gives the wrong impression.

I'm not acting like I know everything. I'm just pointing out the necessity of thinking through your boats name. Before you broadcast it to everyone.

Oh Zuko. Zuko, Zuko, Zuko. How do you know I didn't already name my boat, but haven't revealed it yet?

I don't. But if you had you could have just told me so.

I'm going to name it after Yue. I... just need to ask Usopp about it first.

That's sweet man.

[This conversation seems oddly familiar now.]

... yeah.

[Yeah it really does doesn't it.]

I hope he'll let you.

I think he will.
