Sokka the 27th - [Action/Voice]

[markofthewise]

[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?

...

What the fuck? [Spent the day trying to put out fires.]

[markofthewise]

... yeah. That pretty much covers it.

[justicereigns]

Has this ever happened before?

[markofthewise]

This is kind of a first for as long as I've been here. There was the time Aku set the grocery store on fire, but... that's about it.

[justicereigns]

Aku? Who's that? ... Why would he?

[markofthewise]

Aku is this big evil shapeshifting guy that only 'holy' weapons or magic can hurt. He thinks he's the master of Luceti, but most people just fight him.

[justicereigns]

Hn.

One in every town I guess.

[markofthewise]

Several in ours.

[justicereigns]

This place does seem to collect more extreme people.

[markofthewise]

Half the people here have some kind of weird power, it seems like. And over half of us seem to be fairly important people in our worlds.

[justicereigns]

Must be a common theme with who they drag here.

[markofthewise]

I guess they only want people they think are useful. [Which makes Sokka wonder... if the Malnosso only collect the people they want, what happens to everyone else?]

[justicereigns]

And the people they send back?

[markofthewise]

Apparently the Malnosso don't do that. People just show up here and leave by some other means. They just put us here when they find us. Whether that's true or not, I dunno.

[justicereigns]

Hm. Supposedly I was here before. If they didn't send me back to my world, I wonder what did.

[markofthewise]

Well, maybe this place is like a whale. It swallows up a whole bunch of people at once. But then sometimes, it has really bad stomach problems and spits some people back up. And then... swallows them again, sometimes. [That's a great analogy.]

[justicereigns]

...... Are you for real?

[justicereigns]

Uh yeah... [Small throaty chuckle.] I guess it could be like that. So long as we're not plankton.

[markofthewise]

[Awwww, he thought it was a great metaphor of Luceti's existence!]

Well it was just an analogy. We're not really in a whale or anything...

[justicereigns]

No shit, kid. What I mean is very hypothetically speaking people who got uh "stuck in whales" wouldn't really get digested. Whereas plankton would. Assuming we're talking about island whales.

[markofthewise]

No, I meant ocean whales. I'm not sure how they'd be able to survive on islands.

[justicereigns]

[Staaaaaares.]

Island whales don't live on islands... they practically are islands. They're that huge.

[markofthewise]

[Pause.]

Wow. Now that's a whale! A tribe could eat on that for a year!

[justicereigns]

And then some. Not even a team of seakings would fuck with an island whale.
