Sokka the 23rd - [Action/Voice]

[markofthewise]

[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.

Oh would you? If an eclipse can do it, you don't think they can? [He knows they can. But he doesn't want to tell her about the tunnel just yet.]

Yeah. I bet.

[rocket-feet.livejournal.com]

If they can produce an eclipse, I might be impressed.

[markofthewise]

Because being transported to a whole other world and being given blue wings isn't enough, huh?

[rocket-feet.livejournal.com]

Just because they can do that doesn't necessarily mean they can control the sun and the stars. Even the Avatar can't stop an eclipse. Or a comet.

[markofthewise]

But they do control this thing called Shifting. Outside of the barrier, we're full powered. They could shift it so nobody can have powers, if they wanted. Or if they send their metal men to come kidnap you, they could return you without your bending.

[rocket-feet.livejournal.com]

...interesting.

_{[That in itself is alarming. But at least if they made it so no one had powers, Azula would still have her natural agility and unarmed combat prowess. If they just took away her bending, it would be rather more problematic.]}

[markofthewise]

Since everything is free, here's some free advice, Azula. Our war isn't here. So trying to trick us isn't going to gain you anything here in Luceti. So either be our enemy or don't. [Because as fun as all of this is, he's getting tired of pretending they're on any kind of good terms.]

[rocket-feet.livejournal.com]

Oh, Sokka. I know the war isn't here. This isn't the Fire Nation and it's not even our world. Why would I want to bother with trying to hurt you? It's not as if you're a threat.

[markofthewise]

[Does that convince him? Not at all.]

Right. But neither are you. Not really.

[rocket-feet.livejournal.com]

You ought to know by now that underestimating me is a mistake.

[markofthewise]

You should know, Azula. It's been two months since the invasion in our world and four months I've been in Luceti.

[rocket-feet.livejournal.com]

As if that matters.

_{[Although it does and she's already trying to figure out how to compensate for it if everything goes south.]}

[markofthewise]

Power cap doesn't mean anything to those of us without bending.

[rocket-feet.livejournal.com]

You're sorely mistaken if you think bending is the only thing I can do.

[markofthewise]

I keep making a lot of mistakes. [But let's derail this conversation.]

So are you here just to keep me company or have you decided to pick up a weapon? [He'd stand up, but pretending that his leg was fine and walking normally on it when he met her yesterday aggravated the muscle and he's not in a hurry to have a repeat performance and make it worse.]

[rocket-feet.livejournal.com]

Weapons are more Zuzu's speed.

_{[She examines the shop critically.]}

I'm just exploring again. Not that there's much to explore. This village is tiny.

[markofthewise]

It really is. Go try the forest. There's this big friendly wolf that would love to meet you.

[rocket-feet.livejournal.com]

Really, Sokka. Wishing ill on a newcomer.

[markofthewise]

Oh, but she's a wolf god and weren't you saying something about being in the same class as them?

[rocket-feet.livejournal.com]

Please. I'm not as stupid as Admiral Zhao.

[markofthewise]

I don't think anyone is that stupid.

[rocket-feet.livejournal.com]

At least we agree on something. Although Zuzu is certainly in the running.

Even I know there are spirits that I can't hope to meddle with.

[markofthewise]

Who knew we would get along so well.

[rocket-feet.livejournal.com]

Haven't we always? Our conversation went such interesting places during your invasion.

[markofthewise]

Afraid that one won't work again. Suki is safe and sound.
