markofthewise | Sokka the 28th

[Sokka has been running around throughout this entire invasion of butterflies. Having finally caught a moments rest, he decides it's about time to organize things. There's not much time for complicated filters, so he makes this fast.]

[Filtered to the White Lotus 50%]

Alright, White Lotus. Heads up. Everyone should already know what's going on, by now. Someone has been killed already, so we need to step things up. Right now the town square seems to be the worst place right now. There's not a lot of us though, so we should concentrate our efforts on the southern part of the village for now. Those things are everywhere though, so be sure you have someone watching your back.

This is Sokka, from the White Lotus. We're here to back you guys up. We'll take care of the southern part of the village with what we can. That should free you guys up to focus on the town square and the rest of the village.

Everyone okay out there? I haven't had a chance to check on everyone left, so let me know if you need me somewhere.

[Longshot has him on that one. Best to position him where he'll have backup.]

You can back me up. I need someone to cover my back anyway. I have a second flamethrower at the house that should help us out.

Want me to meet you there?

Yeah. Be careful, those things will come at you from behind.

[Oh, he's found that out for himself, with a bloody ear to prove it. He simply nods though and hurries over to the Avatar house as fast as he can.]

[Sokka is already at the house, swatting at those things with a pair of Kyoshi fans of all things. They're surprisingly effective. And Sokka actually knows how to use them.]

[He... wasn't expecting that. But whatever works. As he approaches, Longshot notches an arrow, firing it and then a second at the Tease. Best to get them while he can, and all.]

[Sokka continues to be impressed by Longshot's aim. He's been doing the same thing with his boomerang, but even so...]

The flamethrower gear is in the basement. [Why yes. They do have one.]

[Longshot nods, pausing only to retrieve his arrows and notch them again. Not making any moves to go into the house though - yes, in a situation where it's carnivorous butterflies vs. a house that might have a firebender in it, his first instinct is to stay outside.]

[...Though he might change his mind in a second.]

[You might want to rethink that Longshot. In any case, Sokka is heading to a closet to where their secret stairway is. Will you follow?]

[Yuuup, logic kicking back in now. At least the firebender won't try to eat him.]

[He may not like it, but after a moment he's dashing indoors and following.]

[Into the closet they go. He moves a shelf out of the way to the trap door leading underneath the house. Clicking on a flashlight, he heads on down after making sure Longshot is following. You better have closed the door behind you, man.]

[Tempting as it would be to let them feast on your firebender friends, he made sure of it. And a double check ensures that none of the butterflies got in before he could do that. So just following now.]

[Once in the cavern like basement, Sokka starts assembling his flamethrower. Longshot might notice that Sokka keeps a nice collection of other weaponry down here, though.]

Maybe you should think about grabbing a sword or something. Just in case.

[...This face. He's not so good with swords, but then again, against butterflies he probably doesn't have to be. He grabs the first one he finds, but he's still looking around - got a knife he can borrow?]

[There's knives to spare. Sokka practically keeps an armory of his own down here. After a few minutes, Sokka will be suited up with a tank strapped to his back, the hose connected, and his safety goggles on. Fortunately he remembered to fill the tank up entirely this time.]

Alright. Let's move out.

[Pocketing one of those then, just in case. He nods, strapping the sword to his back, and goes to follow Sokka back up.]

[As soon as they're back on ground level and outside, Sokka will send a jet of flames at one of those pesky butterflies and incinerate. Ah, to be a firebender again. Just like old experiments.]

[Longshot's just going to try and ignore the flames as best as he can and focus on firing his arrows again, doing his best to make sure he'll be able to get them back again.]

[You're being surprisingly cool about the fire, Longshot. Sokka is impressed. He's trying to be sparing with the flames this time by only using his flames when they're close enough. He's counting on you to make sure none of them sneak up on him.]

[If he didn't have to concentrate on the butterflies, he would be a lot more irritated by them. Nevertheless, they do have him pretty tensed up - though that can be attributed to the Tease too.]

[Just don't expect him to keep his cool if those flames come any closer to him than necessary.]

[He fires another arrow off to Sokka's right, pinning one of the butterflies to a tree, before moving to retrieve one of the arrows that's closer by, notching it immediately.]

[Fortunately Sokka has a bit of experience using this thing. Between the two of them, they're doing a good job of picking these things off. Of course, it won't be long before Sokka is running on empty again. Hopefully extra backup will be along soon.]
