markofthewise | Sokka the 25th - [Accidental Thoughts]

[Sokka is busy sitting in the smithy. There's not much work to do lately, now that the New Feather cycle is winding to a close, so he's trying his hardest to get comfortable on the new couch. It's not working. His journal is lying next to him and happily recording his thoughts for all to hear.]

(( You'd think Raphael could pick a better couch. But no! This one is like a rock! I know he probably can't appreciate the subtleties of a comfort with that shell of his, but hey, I liked our old one! Stains? Who cares about stains. We could have thrown a blanket or something over it. I wouldn't have cared. Not like it would have happened if he hadn't been playing with that blowtorch anyway.

Of course, I'm probably the only one who cares. I doubt Edward ever uses it. I don't know if that guy even knows how to relax. And Winry is always at her workbench anyway. Or gardening with Haruki of all people. I don't know what she sees in the guy. Sure, he's an okay guy and maybe his Brigade isn't a complete waste of time, but still. The guy is a complete jerk. I don't think this Batmannychan guy is even all that bad to begin with. That so called paperweight probably belonged to him anyway. At least, not according to Luka.

[At this point, a brief image of a nude Luka flashes in his mind. It's hastily replaced by the image of a clubbed seal and Sokka hauling it off.]

Boy I could go for some fried tiger seal meat right now. I wonder if they even have that here? I guess I could ask Katara, but she'll probably find some way to turn it into a lecture. And then she'll punch me in the arm. Why do girls keep doing that to me? Katara, Toph... even Winry is doing it now. At least Ty Lee doesn't do it. And Suki never did it either! That's my kind of girl. Nice, friendly, and doesn't hit me. Fortunately this rules Azula out. Thank the spirits for that.

... spirits. I wonder if that wolf god will want to play fetch again. She was really good with... wait... ))

[Sokka stops as he looks up and sees the bubble above his head OVERFLOWING with words. And then to his horror, his journal is wide open just over there. Daaaaaaammit!]

...A dangerous man from my world arrived the other day. I wasn't strong enough to defeat him.

... was he the one you told me about? The chain guy?

Yes. Leonid, the Dreadknight.

If he beat you, then he must be really dangerous...

When Lord Sigmund returns from his kidnapping, I'll speak with him about issuing a warning to the public. He's as dangerous as many of the villains already populating the town.

Do you think he'll attack other people? So far Azula hasn't done anything yet. (( Although I was expecting a fight when she found out about her future... ))

That friend of yours mentioned her, didn't she?

... actually that was my sister.

...Oh. [Close enough.] Just how dangerous is she?

Her firebending is deadly and so is her ability to create lightning. But she's not using that here.

I guess the most dangerous part is that she's really good at manipulating people.

Hm... with sufficient warning, her manipulating abilities should be easy to avoid. What matters most here in Luceti is one's physical prowess.

Well bending isn't like magic. It's not sitting around reading books to learn to cast a spell. Even without her bending she's pretty tough. (( I know I could barely keep up with her during the eclipse... ))

But as far as her scheming, yeah. Still, she's good at it.

I imagine she'll be dealt with if she causes any trouble. Until then, I won't worry about it.

As for Leonid, however... I'm not sure. He seeks to chain the moon, but the moon god, Veros, doesn't exist here, so he lacks the power to do it. He may kill to amuse himself, but I can't say for sure.

[ The mention of the moon god calls up this mental image with an image of the Moon in the background, with the girl slowly ascending towards the Moon before disappearing. This thought is instantly gone as soon as he speaks up though.]

... chain the moon? How does that even work?

Edited 2010-04-27 06:33 (UTC)

[Huh. That was interesting.]

To put it simply- giant, literal chains from the ground to the surface of the moon. Only two men in the entire world have been able to break them.

[And this shows up in Edward's little thought bubble, for a visual explanation.]

[That's one of the more ridiculous things he's heard, even with the mental image there. But... well, they were probably magic chains or something. Even if that still made no sense at all. The Moon's orbit would just rip off a chunk of land from either the planet or the moon itself if that happened. So yeah, not even going to discuss that.]

... so this guy is dangerous. Since we have these special images being shared, any chance you could try and think about what he looks like?

[Actually the magic chains are dragging the moon to the surface of the planet where the collision and subsequent planetary ramifications would destroy all known life... but we're not talking about that.]

...A ridiculous-looking costume and silver hair. [And now you get a taste of the jockstrap face.]

... what kind of stupid mask is that? And who is that girl with him?

I have no idea about the mask, but I agree it's ridiculous. She is Saranda, his consort- a foul woman of unknown origin who turns men into monsters.

[Quite literally; a brief flicker of this ~~because mun's too lazy to upload a bigger one~~ comes to mind before Edward forces it from his mind.]

... wow. Your world is weird. The weirdest thing we have is this spirit named Koh who steals people's faces.

[....face-stealing...] Isn't that strange enough as it is?

Yeah, but that's spirit world stuff. That doesn't count.

Why not? Spirits are just as strange as anything else, aren't they?

Exactly. Too strange to be counted amongst normal stuff.

...I don't see much of a difference.
