markofthewise | Sokka the 22nd

[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.

[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.

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

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

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

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

Hugo could partner up with Caesar or something.

Caesar's gonna play?

Maybe? I don't know.

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

...hey, Sokka?

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

Yeah?

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

[...]

You think he might come back again?

What? No! I was just - just asking.

... 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.

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

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

[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?

[He has to think about it. He knows exactly who you're thinking might come back. Her.]

I'm not sure if it would be the same. Whenever a firebender has used lightning, they have to use their own body as a conduit. If they were going to use electricity, they'd have to actually touch the wires. Doing so would be giving them one long continuous volt... and they could probably only use it if they knew how to redirect it like Zuko and Aang. Even with bending I think they could risk getting seriously hurt in the process.

[Relief. She should have asked you about this like, a week ago.]

That's true - they do seem to have to be touching it. I guess I can ask Zuko too.

You're pretty smart, sometimes, you know?

Hey, the looks weren't the only thing I got in the family.

Ha, ha. Very funny.

Anyway, it's a good thing the only ones who know how to redirect are the good guys.

Yeah. [Zuko. A good guy. Still taking some getting used to, there.]

Well, maybe no one will show up, anyway. That would be good, right? [Wants Aang back. Wants him back so badly.]

[Sokka is listing of all the people who have been in Luceti before. With the exception of Aang, all of them seem to be in Luceti right now. All except for Azula. If it happened once, what were the chances it wouldn't happen again. Not good.]

That would be for the best. Hey, maybe one of us will get lucky and go home too.

[Ouch. That hurt. If she woke up one morning and Sokka was just... gone...]

Yeah. ...though it would be better if we could all go back at the same time.

But hey, if you get there first - hug Gran Gran for me.

If any of us are going home, I'll be the last one to go. At least, if I have anything to say about it. [An empty promise. Oh well.]
