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.]

... that's pretty rough. I guess I can't blame you for leaving.

It kinda sucked. My sisters were great and all, but I wanted to be me, Ty Lee, not a copy of somebody else.

[markofthewise]

Well if it helps, I've never met your sisters. So you're the only Ty Lee I know of.

[standsonhands.livejournal.com]

It does. But anyway, Azula just tracked me down at the circus, and convinced-- bullied me into helping her.

[markofthewise]

Oi. That's Azula for you. [But the conversation keeps coming back to her and she's not a happy conversation piece.]

You know, I've never been to a circus. What's it like?

[standsonhands.livejournal.com]

Really? Ours was the greatest! We had animals, and there were a bunch of performers other than me. We always played to a full house. Hearing everyone gasp at the same time was pretty funny.

[markofthewise]

Sounds pretty fun. Too bad I never had a chance to see it.

[standsonhands.livejournal.com]

We played in Fire Nation and some places in the Earth Kingdom. I dunno if we ever woulda gone to the South Pole. We'd have to change everyone's outfits.

Well you know, when demons aren't razing grocery stores and people aren't falling in love with eachother randomly, Lucet is a pretty boring place. Maybe you'll get to perform again, sometime.

[standsonhands.livejournal.com]

Yeah, maybe...

What?

[markofthewise]

Huh? What? Which one? The love thing or the demon thing?

[standsonhands.livejournal.com]

Well...both.

[markofthewise]

The demon is called Aku. He's pretty much impervious to everything we can throw at him, so you should just avoid him and run if you see him.

And the love thing... well, that's one of the experiments. You'd know that if you read the guide. [A sigh. Explanation is go.] Usually once a month, the Malnosso will do something weird as an experiment. Like the first experiment I was in, people wanted to try something new. I wanted to be a firebender, for instance, even though I couldn't bend. The one after that... well, you fell in love with the first person you talked to on the journals. [And he doesn't want to say who.]

[standsonhands.livejournal.com]

Got it.



Freaky. Who'd you end up falling for?

[markofthewise]

[He can still chide her for it!

But he waves that off.] Not important. It wasn't real and it's all in the past.

[standsonhands.livejournal.com]

[markofthewise]

Uh. I guess, kinda. I'm not sure she'd like to be called that...

[standsonhands.livejournal.com]

How come you don't want to say her name?

WHO COULD IT BEEEE /iconssss

[markofthewise]

Because it's in the past! And I don't think she'd be happy if I told anyone, so there.

It's a ~*mystery*~

[standsonhands.livejournal.com]

Well...alright.

Re: It's a ~*mystery*~

During the experiment, there was one day with a fountain that made everyone super affectionate. And then flowers that if you give them to people, they would kiss you back. [He counts on his fingers. Let's see... Winry, Xion, Toph, Aerith, Anise, uh... Moro...] I managed to score quite a few girls wanting a piece of the old Sokka.

[standsonhands.livejournal.com]

No kidding.

I'm kinda sorry I missed it.

[markofthewise]

It wasn't all fun, you know. [And he can only imagine what it would be like having you running around on Dragobete. Hoo boy.]

[standsonhands.livejournal.com]

What's not fun about flirting?

[markofthewise]

That part is fine. But... you can't just make people fall in love, you know. [He still hasn't settled things with Toph yet.]
