markofthewise | Sokka the 33rd

To everyone who was asking yesterday, Katara is just fine now. So... yeah, thanks Ginko. We owe you one.

[With that settled, Sokka moves on to the next order of business.]

Master Souji, sorry I missed our lesson yesterday. [The previous message should explain why he missed it.]

[And then because Sokka is feeling a lot better in spite of a crappy day yesterday (because he bounces back so fast), he decides to start preparing for the future. Which means he needs a filter.]

[Filtered from Shirley and Sanji 100%]

So hey, I kind of have a date I need to prepare for. Anyone got any good ideas about what exactly I should do? I know there's typical stuff like a dinner or flowers and stuff like that. But that's kind of amateur stuff, isn't it? I want to go all out! Sure, Luceti is kind of a boring place at times, but I want to really nail this one good. [Of course Sokka means the actual date (which is merely a practice one), not the person he's dating. Feel free to get that wrong, though.]

S.T.:

Whyfore do you turn away this advice? I assure you it is sound.

Second: If they come back to find you later, deny everything.

--J.S.

J.S.,

Neither of us drink rum.

And why would I deny it?

-S.T.

Safer that way, that's what. Women, mate. Long memories.

Memories are good.

Memories can be very, very dangerous. But if you wish to preserve good memories, bring her out for a sail. Women like that. Going for a sail.

Oh yeah! She seemed interested in my canoes. I could take her down the river in one. Maybe on a nice moonlit night!

Mmm. Even better on a moonless night, eh?

[How is he making it sound THAT sleazy?]

Er... no? I don't want to wreck my ship.

No, no, you're not seein' the big picture, Thunderaxe: floating candles. Hundreds.

I don't think I could get that many on my canoe, Jack. I might accidentally set it on fire.

Nah, see? Candles floating around you; paper lanterns, like. Singapore.

I have to sing too!?

Nahhh no. No. Don't do that, Thunderaxe. Let her talk. And agree with everything she says. Compliments. Be complimentary.

Agree with everything she says? What if she's wrong?

[There's a great deal of laughter at this. Hang on---hang on---okay:]

Lad-------they're never wrong, savvy?

... they're actually wrong quite a bit. [What's so funny, Jack?]

[More various snorts and laughs, before he clears his throat:]

But you never let on that you know they're wrong. Otherwise? No love, Thunderaxe. No love.

Let's say hypothetically they know when you're lying.

...

Then it would appear you'd be up the hypothetical creek without the hypothetical oar. Hypothetically speakin'.

Oh! Good idea! It wouldn't work if we were on a boat anyway.

If you don't mind me askin'....how do she read minds?

Eh, it's not mind reading. And she's not the one I'm dating anyway. It was a hypothetical.

Now, important bit: lake or river?

Why not both? You have to use the river to get to the lake anyway!
