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.

[Filtered to Housemates and Friends 40%]

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

All of them? [What the hell have you been doing?] What happened?

[Look. She squishes another one.]

[Well... since they have time. He'll just go about crushing the teases as he talks.]

Well this morning, Jack and I discussed our uh, plan. For something. Then while I was on my way to work, one of those things bit me. It was only afterward I found out what they were. After I got to the smithy, I heard Mayoi was in trouble, so I ran off to help her. I managed to get bit once or twice while fighting them off with Alexei. [Conveniently leaving out the part where he blew the fuse in Mayoi's house. BREEEATHE.] After that, I conferred on the journals and found out some more of what was going on and went to go meet Brook at the plaza. While fighting more of those things off with him [spotted a corpse] saw San was in trouble, so I went to help her. We raided the smithy, I grabbed my other flamethrower and I used that until it ran out. Once things were settled over there, I started back to the house. I stopped in building five long enough to make that filter you responded to before. I then met up with Longshot and I took him down into our cellar to grab some more weapons and my flamethrower. Hugo and Roku showed up at right after that and we cleared up most of the butterfly things around the house. After that I agreed to meet up with Nami and then Naoki after things were settled. And then you showed up, yelled at me for my lack of armor, and proceeded to freeze all the teases. [Breeeeeeath.]

And that's pretty much it. Did I miss lunch?

...

[She casually steps on a Tease.]

[...seriously, what the heck, Sokka!]

[Mayoi she doesn't know. Alexei... and San... and if he was with Brook then he saw...]

[At least everyone he was with sounds like they're going to be fine.]

Well. Sounds like you've had a busy day. Sorry, I didn't get the chance to make dinner.

Yeah. Just a little. [Cruuunch. There goes another one.] I think we'll have to settle for leftovers tonight. [Because no one is going be in the mood for cooking tonight.] So what have you been doing?

Oh, you know [shrug], the usual. [Pause.] I didn't see you in the square when I was with Brook. We must have just missed each other.

Oh. [Oh... so that means she saw-] Well San's not an easy girl to keep up with. [He kind of lost track of her. Oops.]

Yes, she is.

[Squish. And that should be the last of them. She frowns, looking down at them.] The hardest thing about killing these is their flight pattern. They still act just like bugs, or animals, even if they're not natural.

[She very determinedly doesn't look at him, scanning around to see if she'd missed any in her search-and-squish mission.] But if someone made them...

[Sokka nods at that. It has been hard to kill them by using a weapon. A year ago, he wouldn't have had a chance.]

That guy on the journals... he said they weren't living creatures. And I don't think they're from the Malnosso either.

[She nods.] Allen.

[She's figured out more than that and she's not sure what else she wants to share. Allen's a friend. And... she has questions for him.]

I think he knows more than he let on. [And if it had been Sokka, he probably would have done the same thing. Still, after everything that's happened, he thinks people deserve an explanation.]

He's going to take care of it. [Oh, the random faith in people character trait. It's been a while since that's surfaced. Have you missed it, Sokka?]

[She holds up her knife to the rain and quickly bends some water on it to clean it.] But like I was saying - if someone made them, don't you think it's weird that they're just acting like animals? They're not very effective weapons like this.

[Sokka has to wonder at the optimism, but... well, she appears to know him. He doesn't quite buy it, but he'll let the matter drop.]

Maybe, maybe not. What's effective in one world might not be effective here. Besides, those things would be pretty dangerous if you sent about a hundred of them at once person. Or just sent a few into a village without any fighters who could kill them.

That's true. And you don't expect something like this from butterflies. If I hadn't known what they were, I would have stood still and let them land on me.

Yeah. That's how the first one got me. If only your friend had put up his warning earlier.

[She sighs. And then starts towards him.] Here, you'd better let me take a look at that.

Fine, but let's get out of the rain first. [He glances over at the house.] I need to get my armor anyway.

[A quick grin.] Oh, what a good idea.

[He has his own smirk.] Yeah, I'm glad I thought of it. [And off he's going, back to their house. Their nice, safe, not on fire house.]

[And since your hair is a mess anyway, she can't resist cuffing you on the back of the head as you walk by before joining you.]

[Gah, his hair. Another good reason to be in his armor. He can just put that helmet on and be done with it. But once they're inside, he starts pulling off the flamethrower gear and sets it off to the side before collapsing in a chair.]

Wow. Sitting. I like sitting. [But he immediately starts undressing his bandages. Fortunately they're not as bad looking as they could be. With the exception of a bite on his left arm, Alexei already took care of some of them. They aren't completely healed and his moving around has aggravated the wounds, but they could be a lot worse.]

[First step: Shut the door firmly behind her. Second step: Bend the water off herself and her brother. Third step: Use the water to seal the spaces between the door and the wall so she doesn't have to worry. Ice is such a lovely thing.]

It's nice to be dry.

[She walks into the kitchen as he undresses his bandages. Food's good too. She doesn't remember breakfast.]
