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!]

... 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.

... it's a very subtle one.

Hmph. I suppose I'll just take your word for it.

Well... this guy. You should warn Winry and Raphael. If he's as bad as you say he is, he might come looking for you at the smithy.

[...That's true.]

...Perhaps I should... disassociate myself with it. [Except he really doesn't want to, sob.]

You don't have to do that. I mean... I've got enemies too. And there's guys like Aku, Kefka, and Yuber running around. We just have to be prepared, that's all.

[Sokka you are good people. ;_;] ...Very well. I'll issue a warning soon, and discuss how to deal with Leonid when Lord Sigmund returns. My lord is very likely to be his true target, so you may have little to fear.

Well don't forget that there's the Blue Rogues too! They can help out if it comes to it. [And... the White Lotus. But they really haven't lived up to their claims yet, so Sokka doesn't really want to mention them.]

...I'm not confident in any of Luceti's organized groups, as far as Leonid is concerned.

... how about that new one, the Justice League?

I don't know anything about it.

Yeah, I don't know much about it myself... Just that they fought one of those guys who had committed a bunch of murders. (( And I think Batman is one of them? ))

Hm... I'll keep that in mind, then. (( What sort of a name is Batman? ))

(( That's what I'd like to know. ))

So uh... good luck, Ed. When do you think you'll be back in the smithy?

I may avoid it while this experiment is going on. (( Some things are better left unsaid. )) A few days, at most. I'll be well by then.

I guess I'll hold the fort until then. Seeya around, Ed.

Until then, you have my thanks.
