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.

...please tell me nobody saw that.

We were very careful.

Besides, I replaced it by planting some seeds outside the forest.

Fair exchange. Besides, if Moro isn't ranting and screaming for people's blood by now, chances are she either doesn't know or doesn't care.

Not even wolf gods can be everywhere.

Nope.

Did you ever meet the other wolf god? She's a lot more ...sociable.

There's two of them!?

Yeah. The other one likes us, though. Ask Miyabi about her some time.

... I'm not so sure that's a good thing. Giant wolf gods are possibly even scarier when they do like you. [Horrific flashback to Dragobete go.]

This one's a lot smaller. Acts more like a dog, actually. You see her around town a fair bit.

... you sure she's a god?

Miya says she is. Amaterasu, the sun goddess.

Does it ever make you wonder about the legitimacy of gods when you've never heard of them before?

Sometimes. Better to treat them like a god and find they aren't one than to treat them like dirt and find out they are. But I'm willing to believe Amaterasu is a goddess. [...mainly on Miya's word.]

You know, that Haruki guy says he's some divine overlord guy. Maybe I should be treating him like a god too.

Haruki? Isn't he that SOS guy? [Snort. Please, like that could be true. ~~shot~~]

I'm more willing to believe that if a wolf got brought here from its world, it's not going to be an ordinary wolf. Just look at this place.

Yeah. He's the SOS guy. Pretty much a jerk too.

Are you sure about that? I mean, there's that dog who keeps finding his way in my house. He doesn't seem so special. And then there's that mouse that lives with you guys...

You mean the dog that was smoking a pipe when I came in and the mouse that wears a little red shawl and helped Sanji-kun make soup the other night?

Right. Them. Nothing special at all. [It's not like they could send messages like ol' Hawky.]

[Snicker.] Miyabi says she's a messenger of the gods and speaks about Amaterasu with a lot of reverence, so I'm more inclined to believe it.

Eh. I guess so. [Miyabi is cool and all, but her power is being tiny. And she can drown in soda. That's really not all that impressive.]

[Miyabi also has the power of cute drunken flailing.]

Anyway, I'll give you a hand in a few days. I have to say I've never tried building a boat. But I know boats, so I should catch on fast.

Edited 2010-03-25 16:47 (UTC)

Well I used to help my dad make boats when I was a kid and then I had to do all the maintenance work on them after he left for the war. So I know boats, its just making them out of wood that took a little extra work.

You didn't make yours out of wood at home?

Surprising as it may sound, trees aren't very common in the South Pole. I mean, at all.

Well, that was more curiosity than surprise. What did you use?
