Sokka the 22nd - [Written]

[markofthewise]

[Time to do some pen pushing! Sokka is back at the smithy, on the couch, working through several filters, as well as adjusting the work schedule after discovering that Winry had apparently been kidnapped by the Malnosso. Just another thing to do.]

[Filtered 50% to Longshot]

We should talk.

[Filtered 100% to Caesar Silverberg, Lilly Pendragon, Jacques, and Viki.]

I have a few questions I'd like to ask you.

[Filtered 100% against all known villains]

(if you're on this list, as the B3, Major, Lesser, or Personal, you're out!)

Attention White Lotus members! If you recall, Toph announced the formation of the group about a month ago to try and put together a loosely affiliated group of members who could be called upon in times of trouble. All of you should already have the tiles that Toph gave you. If you could just answer back with your name so we know who is in the group, that would be great.

[And added as an afterthought, since he has the filter open still]

To anyone who is Winry's friend, she was taken by the Malnosso from the smithy an hour ago.

I think one time he told us where they were moving to? But, I don't remember. It was a couple of years ago. Uhm... I think... even before... no, it was AFTER we went ruins hunting.

[markofthewise]

You're not sure which?

[blinkingusalong.livejournal.com]

No, it was before he was helping the Grasslands when we went to the Sindar ruins.

**Sorry Sokka, Viki isn't all that helpful when she forgets things so easily.**

[markofthewise]

[Okay, maybe something a little more direct. Ruins sound kind of dangerous. Not something a jujube salesman could handle.]

Those Sindar Ruins must have been pretty dangerous, right?

[blinkingusalong.livejournal.com]

Sort of. There were a lot of traps there.

[markofthewise]

But Nash has no troubles, I bet.

[blinkingusalong.livejournal.com]

Nope. Not really. Neither do I though!

for the record, assuming this thread is under the original filter

[markofthewise]

Oh. [This is going nowhere. Okay, he talked to Jacques. He had something Viki might be able to help with.]

You remember the Destroyers, right?

[blinkingusalong.livejournal.com]

Destroyers... uwaaa...

Oh! Yuber was one of them... Luc used to be, but he's different now! He's like the old Luc again!

[markofthewise]

[He didn't even get to ask yet! Okay. Luc, filing that away.]

Like the old Luc? What did he and Yuber do?

[blinkingusalong.livejournal.com]

Ahhh... They were trying to destroy some True Runes because when you have one... uhm... I think you live for a long time. And Luc had one...

[markofthewise]

[True Runes...]

"True" Runes? What does that mean?

[blinkingusalong.livejournal.com]

They're really really powerful magic marks.

[markofthewise]

That make you live for a long time.

What's wrong with trying to destroy one?

[blinkingusalong.livejournal.com]

Because they're really important to the balance of everything. Like, if you destroy the one for water, the oceans go out of control. But, you can just give them to someone else though... I don't know why he didn't try that.


Ahh... maybe he couldn't?

[markofthewise]

[So, the Runes were kind of like the spirits back home? Destroying a True Rune would be like when Zhao destroyed the Moon Spirit. Very bad news indeed.]

But you say he's different now? Does he still have his True Rune?

[blinkingusalong.livejournal.com]

I don't know. I don't think he does. He doesn't talk about it. But I don't ask either.

[markofthewise]

Probably not a good idea, just in case. In fact, we should probably keep this a secret.

[blinkingusalong.livejournal.com]

You mean, that we talked about it? Okay. But, there's a few others here that I know that seem to already know that.

[markofthewise]

Well, it's probably not a good idea to be so open about these Destroyers. If someone thinks that they're connected, people might start going after Luc the next time Yuber does something.
