Sokka the 24th - [Action]

[markofthewise]

[Today Sokka has excused himself from work, because really, Edward is a frigging beast and he's not too happy about the new couch just yet, so hanging out here with nothing to do is kind of pointless. So today he's working hard on one of his other, more important projects. Namely, building a few more canoes, now that he's determined the prototype to be perfectly safe. So Sokka is over beside House 56 (facing House 57 and the road to the barracks), sawing the wood for the second canoe in his 'fleet'.

If you're one of the people who agreed to help him, feel free to already be there doing so. Or if you just happen to be out and about in this obscure part of Luceti, feel free to gawk.]

Oh.

Is that supposed to be a boat?

[markofthewise]

[Ah. Well not he gets to brag. His sore thumb is temporarily forgotten.]

It's going to be! My friend Usopp and I already made one. It's over by the river, right now.

[standsonhands.livejournal.com]

It looks kind of... Cool. Really cool.

[markofthewise]

[Ego successfully stroked.]

You think so? I thought about going bigger, but I think this all you really need for the river here. My friend Vyse has a bigger boat, but it's only really good for taking on the lake.

[standsonhands.livejournal.com]

Yeah, yours is totally best for the river. I bet it goes really fast.

[markofthewise]

Especially when I have Katara for waterbending. Either way, it's faster than walking to the lake.

[standsonhands.livejournal.com]

Is that all you use it for?

[markofthewise]

[He shrugs.]

Pretty much. It gets pretty boring around here, you know. This is something to do.

[standsonhands.livejournal.com]

Is there a circus here?

[markofthewise]

As a matter of fact, there is not. There was someone putting on a play, but that's kind of on hold at the moment. [Delayed due to director currently being a little kid for a week.]

[standsonhands.livejournal.com]

That's too bad.



So...maybe you could take me for a ride in your boat sometime. So I can see how fast it is.

[markofthewise]

[Well that earns an eyebrow. Of all the people he figured would want a ride in his boat...]

What, really? I didn't take you for the... boating type.

[standsonhands.livejournal.com]

Well usually I'm into...bigger stuff. But I'm totally into fair trade, you know?

[markofthewise]

Well I guess...

Wait, what are we trading?

[standsonhands.livejournal.com]

Oh, it's like this thing that means... Well it doesn't mean real trade. But I guess we could if you want to.

[markofthewise]

[Oh wait. He thinks he heard that one too. Yeah, someone said it was something where... hm.]

It wouldn't hurt. I guess it depends on what we're trading, though.

[standsonhands.livejournal.com]

Well I don't really have anything worth trading. But we could work something out.

[markofthewise]

[Aww man, sly smiles from Fire Nation girls usually involve fire and pain.]

... yeah, I guess so. We can figure out something later.

[standsonhands.livejournal.com]

Sounds good to me.

[markofthewise]

[Well that's settled. He puts away his tools for now and stands up at last.]

So Ty Lee... [Serious discussion time is go.] ... you've probably run into Azula by now, right?

[standsonhands.livejournal.com]

Mmhmm.

[markofthewise]

[He can tell that went well.]

So I take it you pretty much told her everything.

[standsonhands.livejournal.com]

Mostly.



At least she didn't kill me, right? That's good.

[markofthewise]

[Well, this probably meant Azula might be more likely to believe what Sokka told her about the future. But even so... that did leave Ty Lee in an awkward position, didn't it? So he switches to upbeat.]

Well, if you're not with Azula anymore, then no hard feelings about the past, right? It's all in the past. Including the whole thing where you were stuck in the slurry.

[standsonhands.livejournal.com]

Sure, no hard feelings. I never thought something like that would happen, you know? I mean, Azula was always...Azula, but she was really starting to lose it.
