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.]

[hello, neighbor. Sokka might notice Nanako watching from behind a tree in her front yard. She's not hiding, exactly, but she's curious about what he's doing and he's not someone she's talked to before.]

[Hammering, hammering, eating sammich, hammering- hey wait, where did his hammer go?

Oh there it is. Flying out of his hand and behind him towards that tree. Oops.]

[....Sokka, what do you have against little girls?

Nanako ducks and covers her head as the hammer buries itself into the tree trunk.] Aaah!

[markofthewise]

[Nothing! But he watches in horrible slow motion as his hammer goes heading towards that kid... and fortunately miss. He sighs a breath of relief and runs over.]

Hey! Are you okay!?

[greaterdays.livejournal.com]

Y-yeah... I'm okay. [she peeks upward, eyes focusing on the hammer in the tree.]

[markofthewise]

Uh, sorry about that. [He pulls the hammer back out of the tree.]

I shouldn't eat and work, I guess...

[greaterdays.livejournal.com]

Don't worry.

[she stands up, calmed down again now that there aren't things flying at her head.] What are you making?

[markofthewise]

Oh. Sure. [He glances back at him, so far it's just the frame.]

I'm working on a canoe.

[greaterdays.livejournal.com]

Really? To use on the lake?

[markofthewise]

And the river too! This will be my second one.

[greaterdays.livejournal.com]

That's really cool! I've never been canoeing before.

[markofthewise]

Really? Well, I'm building them so people can use them anytime they want. Maybe you'll get your chance!

[greaterdays.livejournal.com]

Really? Yay! [she seems completely over the scare from earlier.]

[markofthewise]

[Oh but wait, what is this little kid even doing around here?]

Hey... does anyone know you're here, right now?

[greaterdays.livejournal.com]

This is my house. [she points behind her at the front door.]

[markofthewise]

[And he glances at the house. Oh, that's not far at all.]

Oh, we're practically neighbors. I guess I never found out who lived over there.

[greaterdays.livejournal.com]

It's me, Big Bro, and Chie. And um, Ryoji's been staying while Big Bro's gone.

[markofthewise]

[Chie... that sounds familiar. Did he talk to someone named Chie?]

Was your brother kidnapped...?

[greaterdays.livejournal.com]

Yeah... a little while ago.

[markofthewise]

... that's rough. At least he'll be back eventually.
