markofthewise | Sokka the 27th

[After the rain of trees finally ended, Sokka was finally able to get back to his usual day. He's dodged boulders before, so it wasn't that big of a deal, even if one did get close to him. Fortunately for as many trees as he saw in the air, it didn't seem to go as badly as it could have been. Or at the very least, his house was fine. The smithy was fine. As far as he knew, his housemates weren't dead. Just another day in Luceti. So once things have settles down, Sokka attempts to get back to work and after using his sword to cut down the flaming log blocking the door the smithy, Sokka climbs over the hunk of wood to get back to the daily grind.

Aside from doing his usual load of the work and maybe a little extra in case some of his smithy workers didn't show today, Sokka will later be out in the plaza making some voice messages. After chopping down another flaming log spear into a reasonably non-burning trunk to sit on, he gets started. Let's see, time to free up his schedule. He clicks his pen and gets started on filters.]

The village is being attacked by flaming tree-sized spears. Keep your eyes on the sky, just in case. It looks like it's let up for now, but you know how it is with the weather, right? It could start up again anytime soon. I don't think bringing an umbrella will help.

I know how this must sound. I think. Well, it might not sound like how I think it does. But anyway. I maaaay have over committed with all of this spirit training stuff. So I was wondering if, you know, maybe we could cut back just a little on that. Maybe even combine lessons too. There's no rule that says only two people can sit around quietly waiting for spirits to start showing up, right? Right. Of course there isn't. But you know, there's always the school. Just a thought.

Hey, the Aila is ready for a coat of paint. Better free up your schedule for that.

[No Filter]

So. Flaming spears from the sky. Do we have a culprit yet?

Well, I guess we don't have anyone who works with that stuff much. [But... this is a hang out for teenagers! Not old cat ladies.]

I should probably talk it over with the others, though. Just in case.

[Hey she's not that old, and she probably wouldn't even be in here unless you had a job for her.]

Whatever works. Let me know your decision, I'm trying to be of some use here rather than sitting on my ass all day.

Maybe you should tell me your name. And what kind of experience you have. Just so I can pass that on.

I'm Kokonoe, a scientist from Sector Seven. I specialise in upgrading things, whether it's weapons or people.

That sounds pretty useful. I guess. [Upgrading people?]

You better believe it. If you need upgrading of any kind I'm the one to see. Just make sure to tell me what upgrade you want or I might take it on myself to have a little fun.

Right. So be specific. I can do that. [Why does he already feel like this is a bad idea?]

[She presents to him the RC Car from Luffy.]

I doubt you could create and install a fully functioning laser onto a remote controlled car.

[Sokka inspects it. Well, it certainly looks good. And he has a fairly good idea what a laser is. It's those things that come out of Aku's eyes.]

No. Probably not.

[Putting it down onto the floor, yeah she totally enjoys wizzing it around. She'll be sad to see it go.]

Not bad huh? I can fix things up too, not just upgrading.

You know, that could be handy. We have a lot of equipment here that's electric now.

My thoughts exactly. I work much better with electrical items than things like bows and swords.

Alright. I'll put in a good word for you, then.

I'd hope so. I'll try not to cramp you kids style, I live in the house behind this place you can just contact me if you need any work doing.

Sure, that works fine for me. [Right behind the smithy, huh?]

[She picks the car up and heads for the door.] Right, then I'll see you around. I need to go test this little baby out on those falling trees~ I can't wait! Hehehehe!

[And she's out the door like the psychotic scientist she is.]
