markofthewise | Sokka the 23rd

[After some more healing sessions, Sokka is almost back to feeling one hundred percent again. Which means he's going back to the smithy today, even if he can't do his usual share of the work, he can at least direct New Feathers with what they need. Besides, after seeing Zuko as a invalid for a few weeks, the last thing Sokka wants to do is spend too much time at home healing, even if it means using a staff to balance on in spite of that injured leg. One of the first things he'll be doing though is looking for Winry. If he can't find her at the smithy or clinic, he'll be making a trip to her house.

Later in the day he opens up his journal to make a voice message. He briefly considers making it filtered, but he's not going to talk about anything considered confidential anyway. Besides, he's feeling to tired to draw up a complicated anti-villain filter now that he has to change his usual pattern to include Azula.]

Just a reminder to any of you New Feathers around, the Slash 'n Crash is here for your weapon needs. We've got an overload of stuff coming in and we're running out of space to put this stuff, so if you haven't already, come down here and grab your junk before we have to melt it down.

"New Feathers?"

Did you even read the guide?

It's a nice insulting term people thought up for referring to people who just arrived. Because they just received new wings with new feathers.

I see. So these "New Feathers" would include myself.

Yeah, but it didn't give me anything useful.

Yup, sounds like it. How long?

I awoke in this world two days ago.

Well, Shifting is what the Malnosso do to basically run this place. I don't think any of here know how to do it.

[Rita would maul you for saying that.] No, it is science. Magic is just one use for blastia. They're also used for powering machines.

Maybe on your world, I guess. But magic has its uses, I guess. We used bending to power some of our machines back home. Although with enough time, I think we could eliminate the need for using benders at all.

Oh yeah. Definitely New Feather then.

Indeed.

You sell weapons? Do you also have magic tomes and staves?

[Oh, well that's easy enough. She'll close the journal without another word.

...and then ping you half an hour later with a wary tone.]

Do you forge weapons in there?

[... well that was weird. Okay, he'll answer.]

Of course. Do you need something custom?

Staves, yes. You'll probably find your tomes over at the general store. Also, everything is free.

Everything is free?

[The concept is very new to him.]

Did anybody show you the guide?

No...

[There's a sigh as he goes digging. Eventually he'll give you the directions to find this.]

Everything you wanted to know about Luceti but nobody cared to tell you.

...

[There's a long silence as he studies the guide.]

I see. This is most informative...and most unsettling.

Pretty much. But that's life in Luceti, for you.

Mhm.

I'll be sure to stop by your shop once I reach the village. May I have your name?

I'm Sokka. Sokka Watertribe.

A pleasure. I am Saleh.

[Raph's been spending a hell of a lot of time in the smithy for a guy who's only supposed to be there a few days a week, especially with you two bozos getting hurt. Not to mention it's a great excuse to get away from the apartment and vent some of that pent-up frustration.

When Sokka returns he'll see that all the bloodstains have been scrubbed from the floor and Winry's workbench, and the smithy-couch is missing altogether. Not only that, the whole place is fairly clean and somewhat sloppily organized.

At the moment, his cleaning spree has been abandoned for some more time at his workbench pounding out links for that half-finished manriki chain. But he'll look up when Sokka hobbles in.]

The hell happened to you?
