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.

[...she didn't really expect anything else.]

Hopefully she'll be back soon.

[Private]

[markofthewise]

Last time it was a month.

[Private]

[markofthebrave]

...was she okay?

[Private]

[markofthewise]

It's like they didn't do anything to her at all. Or at least nothing she remembered.

[Private]

[markofthebrave]

Not remembering things isn't so bad. [I'm sorry, Sokka.]

Who knows! Maybe it will be like that again.

[Private]

[markofthewise]

Yeah. I hope so. I don't know what they'd gain by doing anything to her...

[Private]

[markofthebrave]

She'll be okay.

[Private]

[markofthewise]

Yeah, I know.

Thanks, Katara.

[Private]

[markofthebrave]

Yeah. [It's not enough and nothing is - she hates this.]

...So, are you doing this egg hunt? [Because life, it goes on, and that's the only way she knows how to deal with this.]

[Private]

[markofthewise]

[He's happy to not talk about it anyway.]

Yeah. Hugo and I are going to have a contest. Whoever gets the most eggs gets whatever the loser collects.

[Private]

[markofthebrave]

Oh. [Drat. Plans.] That sounds like fun.

...do you think there's anyone around who can watch Zuko so I can go too?

[Private]

[markofthewise]

Of course. We'll find someone. I'm not going out there to collect silly eggs on my own.

[Private]

[markofthebrave]

OK, that sounds -- wait a minute. I'm not teaming up with you against Hugo! That wouldn't be fair.

[Private]

[markofthewise]

Hugo could partner up with Caesar or something.

[Private]

[markofthebrave]

Caesar's gonna play?

[Private]

[markofthewise]

Maybe? I don't know.

[Private]

[markofthebrave]

Well, if Hugo finds someone to team up with, then I guess that would be fair.

...hey, Sokka?

[Private]

[markofthewise]

[Uh oh. This can't be ending well.]

Yeah?

[Private]

[markofthebrave]

Now's when the new people start coming again, right? ...and people can come here more than once?

[Private]

[markofthewise]

[...]

You think he might come back again?

[Private]

[markofthebrave]

What? No! I was just - just asking.

[Private]

[markofthewise]

... we have no idea who could show up. But it seems like since Toph and I appeared, someone from our world has arrived during every cycle. I don't think this one will be any different.

[Private]

[markofthebrave]

...So it could be... anyone?

[Private]

[markofthewise]

Who knows? The guy with the cabbage cart could be the next one to show up.

[Private]

[markofthebrave]

[And there's a quick 'heh.']

So... [Sorry, she's had a LOT of time to think about that electricity while being stuck in the house.] do you think it will be possible if people can bend lightning to bend electricity?
