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.]

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.]

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.

[markofthewise]

[Generally he has no problem talking about how awesome Azula's breakdown was and how she's in the crazy house now. But he figures that somehow Ty Lee still considers Azula a friend. Maybe. So he opts for less blunt and his grin goes away.]

... yeah. It only gets worse for her. She completely lost it when Zuko had his Agni Kai with her.

[standsonhands.livejournal.com]

Wow... That's sad.

[markofthewise]

[Awkward... given that he still pretty much hates Azula.]

It makes you wonder what things would be like. You know, if there had never been the war. [If Roku hadn't completely blown it.]

[standsonhands.livejournal.com]

Who knows? Maybe we'd all be best friends and have a band. I dunno.

[markofthewise]

Yeah, maybe. [And he'd have his family. He shouldn't dwell on that too much.]

We'd be a pretty weird band, though.

[standsonhands.livejournal.com]

I guess we'd be alternative music. But yeah... it doesn't really matter, I guess.

[markofthewise]

Not really. I don't even play anything.

So, did you find somewhere to live yet?

[standsonhands.livejournal.com]

I'm sorta-- uh, between homes, I guess.

[markofthewise]

Well I'm sure you'll find something. All the houses are taken, but...
