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.

[no limping man escapes the watchful eye of super healer Estelle]

Excuse me!

Do you have any .454 Casull rounds yet?

[He glances back, not recognizing the voice. Who is this pink haired woman and what does she want with him?]

... uh, yeah? What is it?

... those are for a gun, right? The Malnosso doesn't give us a lot of ammunition. You'd have to go looking through our selection yourself, though. I don't work with the guns. [He just keeps them locked up to prevent dangerous people from getting to them.]

I'm sorry... I noticed you're injured, and wanted to know if you'd like some help. I have healing artes.

[she's getting better about this ask-before-healspam thing.]

[He gives a shrug.]

Professor Raine and my sister already had a go at me. Besides, I don't know how painting is going to help.

Painting? [...whut.] No, it's healing magic. But if Professor Sage already tried then I don't think I can do much more.

[Oh, you know- Wait. Everyone knows Raine.]

Oh. You should've just called it magic to begin with.

I did. I saw rifle ammo, and ammo for little pistols, but nothing for a good gun.

[Oh, so is that where her sword is?]

Where are you, then?

Guess there's not much we can do for you, then. I don't think any of us make ammy around here.

The Slash 'n Crash. Or the weapon shop, whatever.

And where's that?

[Like she bothered reading that guide thing properly.]

It's in the Plaza. Its the one that has the sign that says "Weapon Shop" above it. For now. [He needs to give it a REAL sign.]

I suppose it's only semantics where healing is concerned, but it goes into the differentiation between different types of abilities, at least where I come from. "Artes" are all skills granted by a blastia, but "magic" is generally used to refer only to spells created for attack. Not every arte is considered magic, but all magic is an arte.

[yeah you probably have no clue what she's talking about.]

So I need to make my own. In a place like this, that's annoying.

[Yeah. He's pretty much got a glazed expression on his face. Not only does he not get it, he also doesn't care, because chances are it's not anything he can do.]

Right, right. So, Artes. Is it wiggly finger magic or chanting nursery rhymes magic? I sort of prefer the former, but who am I to judge?

You could ask the Malnosso. The new guy in charge apparently is pretty generous.

[but asking questions indicates you're still interested, Sokka!]

A combination of both, I suppose. It requires concentration, and incantations help with the process. It's not absolutely necessary though, once you've worked out a formula.

If I could get them to where I could ask them questions, I'd just drain them dry anyway, and probably just kill them for good measure anyway. There's no way they'd be that dumb.

So it's almost like a kind of pretend science. [He's trying not to be too condescending when he says it like that.]

... they control the journals. You just ask them the same way you're talking to me.

Someone or something has to deliver the supplies. Even if it's just through a teleport spell, that's something to work with.

I think they just use that Shifting stuff. We get new supplies in the smithy all the time, but there's never any indication where it comes from.

"Shifting stuff"?
