Sokka the 37th - [Written/Voice]

[markofthewise]

[Sokka's journal is writing out some strange stuff, none of it that Sokka wrote. Or at least, doesn't think he wrote. As he goes over it, he voices his comments at some of the really weird and cryptic messages it's giving him.]

Sokka Thunderaxe Bored today. Don't feel like working at the smithy today. Guess I'll check up on what I've missed.

Sokka is now friends with Freyjadour Falenas
("Wait, I am? I don't even know who that is!")

Sokka commented on Buffy's status
Sokka: lol nice username
("I did!? When!?")

Sigmund needs help to win Fast Money!!
Sigmund could use help to win big prizes and points in Family Feud! Anyone who helps will earn points too!
("... okay...")

Sokka changed his relationship status to "It's Complicated"
("No it's not!")

Usopp just beat Adell in Cube Crash.
Usopp scored 25140 points, a new record!!!
("Admittedly, that is pretty impressive.")

Ginko ...like being showered in someone else's private jokes. Oi, oi. lmao, some of you get stirred up so easily.

Kushi I take it you're not affected by this, Ginko-san?
Katara Some of this stuff isn't very funny. But the blue disks are really fun!
Sokka Or, you know, just literally showered. In chocolate.
Raine It just seems more like an annoyance than anything else. That really won't stop people from complaining.
Vash I crashed violently into a tree. I think I was allowed to get a little stirred up.
("This seems vaguely familiar...")

Well. Okay, maybe a little. But it's no big deal.

[one-green-eye.livejournal.com]

Maah. "No big deal" .... until someone here starts looking more interesting, neh?

[markofthewise]

That's not going to happen. Suki's the girl for me.

[one-green-eye.livejournal.com]

....but you're not engaged to her.

[markofthewise]

We could have been! By now, maybe. I mean, she would've been sixteen by now too, I think. So if we had wanted, we could have been engaged. Back home.

[nods, trying to formulate an idea of how this works in your world]

Time makes a lot of difference, for some people. Changes you-- changes your memories of people.

[markofthewise]

[Sokka doesn't like where this is going.]

What are you trying to say?

[one-green-eye.livejournal.com]

Maaah.

Nothing, really. Only that human nature is sometimes stronger than human intentions. [you don't want to end up accidentally having your girl fall of a bridge and turning into a mushi-zombie, do you?] Something to consider.

[markofthewise]

... yeah, maybe. [This would be so much easier if Suki was ere.]

[one-green-eye.livejournal.com]

[and, as if he had not just randomly delved into your personal life to lecture, Ginko smiles easily, and shrugs] Ehh. I'm sure it'll all work out. You've got a lot of life in front of you.

[markofthewise]

[... subject change? Sure!]

... maybe a whole lot. King Bumi is over a hundred and ten years old.

[one-green-eye.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah?

...is that normal, in your world? [curiosity reengaged]

[markofthewise]

Well. Being in his shape, where he was the most powerful earthbender in the world, that's not too common. Although Avatar Kyoshi lived to be over two hundred.

[one-green-eye.livejournal.com]

Is that right? ....It makes sense for the Avatars. Maybe it has something to do with bending-- or just the quality of resources in your world.

[markofthewise]

Well, Aang met this old Guru who was probably a hundred and forty or something. He wasn't a bender.

But... I guess that's not too common for other worlds, huh?

[one-green-eye.livejournal.com]

[....heh.] I've certainly heard stories. But no, I don't find that it is. Disease and disaster make it difficult to make it to old age, for most people.

[markofthewise]

I guess we're just lucky then. [Unless you're one of the old people who lives through a hundred years of war.]
