Sokka the 28th - [Voice]

[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.

[Filtered to the Blue Rogues 50%]

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.

Yeah--look out for yourself!

[Quick as that, he's gone and booking it. Time to torch some more butterflies.]

[Sokka will show up eventually, but not for a good half hour or so. He's looking pretty scraped up, but as determined as ever. Unfortunately he's never actually met you in person, so when he spots someone that should be Naoki...]

Naoki?

[Have a glowing teenager turning as soon as he hears his name, uncurling a hand briefly after blasting another butterfly with fire. He nods firmly.]

That's me--Sokka, yeah?

[Fire powers. Well, Sokka has to wonder why he's even here. Oh well.]

Yeah, that's right. [He pulls out his sword for when more of those things show up.] How bad is it here?

Not as bad as some places, but enough to keep me busy. [He looks around restlessly, eyes narrowing when he spots more headed their way.] I haven't even had a chance to try and put the wards on the place.

[Oh wonderful. More.]

Wards? What do those do?

They'll make a kind of barrier, I think, like magic. The guy who made one around Building Three gave a couple written ones to me.

Oh, magic. I can hold these off while you do whatever you need to do.

Great--I just gotta find spots where they won't get damaged.

[Naoki nods to him and then dashes toward the building to find places to put them where they won't get washed away or wrecked.]

Alright. Just don't take too long. [Because Sokka doesn't have any powers. Once those things show up though, he'll start cutting through them with his sword. For being tired and injured, he's becoming particularly skilled at hitting these bastards.]

[And Naoki is doing his damndest to be quick. It takes a few minutes to find sheltered, dry spots on the building to stick the wards, but eventually he gets four slapped on. Then, he narrows his eyes--nothing visibly happens, but an invisible barrier will spread out around the building, pushing all of the Tease away as it does. He calls out as he hurries back around the building.]

Did that do it?

[In the meantime, Sokka has managed to fend off most of the creatures. Fortunately there's not as many as there had been earlier, but he's wounded, tired, and soaked. So when Naoki returns, he barely even looks up at him.]

I dunno, what's it supposed to do?

[Naoki turns his head, looking toward where a bunch of Tease are fluttering against an invisible barrier, unable to get any closer.]

That, but... C'mon, over here out of the rain for a coupla minutes.

[Sokka glances up and spots it. Yup, it seems to be doing the trick. So he nods and goes to safety and to where it's dry. Is this day ever going to end?]

Those ward things are handy. How long will it last?

Watanuki-san said that they'll last for a few days, at least.

[He ducks out of the rain and swipes a hand across his face briefly.] Want me to heal you?

[Well that would save his sister from having to do it...]

Uh, sure. If it won't tire you out or anything.

Yeah, it'll be fine. [He extends a hand a little, markings glowing white, casting the healing magic over him in a wave.]

[~~HP/MP Restored! But your still hungry...~~ Sokka feels some of his wounds closing up in response and a dose of energy. It's not quite like a caffeine boost, but at least now he doesn't feel like he's going to fall over.] Thanks.

[Naoki fights back a rush of dizziness and nods.] 'Welcome. [Pause, and--] What next?

[Sokka notices that. Looks like Naoki wasn't so fine after all.]

If you think you've got it in you, we should set up another ward on the other building.

[Naoki blinks a few times before nodding.]

Yeah, I'm alright. Let's go.

Alright. [Sokka goes for his sword again. He told Toph the White Lotus was a bad idea. He could be home watching this blow over. Oi. And after a moment's pause, he'll take off towards the next building, cutting through any of those buggers that get in his way.]

[And Naoki dashes after him, shredding any that get too close with brief bursts of magic, shaky though they may be.] Same thing again? Won't take me as long this time.

You've got it. [Once they're at the next building, Sokka will try to locate where the... well damn. There's a lot of them here. He'll just have to do his best to keep them off of Naoki for now.]

[Naoki tenses a bit as he sees all of them, but doesn't slow. He sets his jaw and moves toward the building--sooner the wards get put up, the better. Even if that means risking a couple of bites in the process.]
