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.")

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...")

No. But I can make it longer. And then tell people Sokka is the shorter version...

[falenandawn]

That seems like a lot of effort to go through for such a small thing.

[markofthewise]

Well it wouldn't be a small thing. It'd be a long and unwieldy name. Like trying to strap two spears together by the ends and trying to use them as nunchaku.

[falenandawn]

[What the heck.] I meant it seems like a lot to go through to avoid such small mistakes.

Who would do that, anyway? The... spear thing.

[markofthewise]

Well, see. I can never introduce myself as "I'm Sokka, but you can call me Sokka for short." [He's tried.]

But if I said to someone, "I'm Sokkadansenleechan Thunderaxe, but you can call me Sokka for short." You know what they'd do? They'd call me Sokka.

And nobody would do that with spears. Don't be silly.

[falenandawn]

...They could still mispronounce it, though.

And you're the one who mentioned it.

[markofthewise]

I guess I'd have to correct them, then.

I suggested it as a hypothetical impossibility.

[falenandawn]

Probably, unless they figure it out on their own.

And it still seems really odd to mention it at all.

[markofthewise]

[Why does he have to explain this?]

Okay Frey, it's like this. I see this guy and he's dancing, but obviously he's horrible at it. I say, "You know what, I think a catgator would be better at dancing." Catgators can't actually dance, being as they are a quadruped incapable of standing on their hind legs. A dancing catgator is an impossible situation, but I mention it to make it obvious how horrible that man's dancing is.

In this case, I'm comparing a long and unwieldy name to something impossibly long and unwieldy. Do you get it now?

[falenandawn]

[What the hell.] Erm... right.

[markofthewise]

Okay, good. Got that cleared up.
