markofthewise | Sokka the 38th

[Shortly after the draft meeting, Sokka has been hanging out inside, pouring over the recon information Albert had provided a month prior, and matching it up with what Caesar had gone over. He wasn't the designated leader of his team, not really. There was possibly more qualified people for that. Brook and Erza came to mind, for that. Still, he could work on their own strategy. Their best defensive position would be the river. They just had to get there. Maybe... it wouldn't hurt to go talk to the people he'd be working with. If he can't stop them after they leave the meeting, he'll be going to the homes of any of his soon-to-be comrades. Well, assuming he knows where they live, at least. "Team A", huh.

... heh. Kind of like Team Avatar. Only without the Avatar.

Afterward, he figures it wouldn't hurt to make a few more stops. Since seeing Brook, Usopp and Chopper already necessitated a trip to the Straw Hats, he'll be making some quick stops at Mayoi's, Winry's, Xion's, and even Edward's. Lastly he'll even hit up Paru, since they are neighbors, after all. Of course, who's to say the people Sokka's looking for will actually answer the door and not someone else? No one, that's who! Once he's done making his rounds, time consuming as they are, he'll be spending the rest of his evening on his front porch, reviewing the plans. Silverbergs. Jeez.]

((tl;dr version: Sokka is all over the place. Do as you will.))

[...Pfffft. Oh, Sokka, you're hilarious.]

I'm not sure if she'll listen to me. [Considering the last time he tried to tell her she might be working too hard. And he's a lost cause with Sigmund around.]

Of course not. You can't just say, "Winry you're working too hard." You have to provide a distraction. Tell a funny story or something. Ice cream always works too. Just make something up and you'll be fine.

[This is all probably a hopelessly lost cause.]

[....A... funny story. Or getting her ice cream. Obviously those are the only options that might get attempted - well okay, maybe just the ice cream bit - because Edward fails horribly at social interaction. Awesome, thanks Sokka. ~~orz~~]

I... can try. [No promises, dude.]

Thanks. [... oh yeah. Something he just remembered.] I kind of left her in charge too. I mean, no one is really in charge. But it was just something I told her. No big deal, right?

It doesn't bother me. [They probably won't listen to each other either way. ...Though why is she in charge, he should have seniority. 8| For that matter since when does Sokka have the authority to- ...no big deal.]

Are you sure? I mean, if she starts bossing you around, you don't have to listen. [Sokka doesn't think this will happen, but it's an amusing thought. In any case, Edward lost seniority when he went home. So there.]

I probably won't. [No sense in beating around the bush about it. If Sigmund was in charge, he'd behave. Winry? Yyyyyeah no. He doesn't even listen to Aya, and she's a princess.] Just make sure you come back safely, or there may be cause for concern.

[Good enough. Sokka nods.]

Don't worry, I'll be fine. I'll be using your chainmail, after all. And I've been training for this for a long time.

[W-well.] ...I hope it holds together. Bring it back if it gets damaged.

[It's armor, Ed! It's meant to be used.]

Of course. But I'm sure it will be just fine. [Because it's Mithril. You remembered to use the true silver, right? We keep it between the adamantium and the unobtanium.]

[Oh, he knows that. He lives with a perfect example of armor abuse.]

I expect to get a report on its performance after you've returned.

... how much do I have to write? [This sounds suspiciously like schoolwork now. Which he never actually did, but it sounded so ominous and intimidating when Raine handed it out.]

[Oh, that expression is just asking for this.] I think at least five pages would be sufficient.

[Wait... is he serious? Of course he is, it's Edward. He's always serious.]

Can it be double spaced?

That's the lazy route. Unacceptable.

Fine. [A sigh. Maybe he shouldn't even use the armor.] I'll figure something out.

[LOL. Okay that was actually pretty easy, he might just have to try that again sometime.] ...Or a verbal report, maybe.

[...]

Very funny. [Okay... maybe it was a little. But since when did Ed tell jokes?]

[It's all about being in the right time at the right place with the right people, apparently.]

My apologies. You made it easy. [And he hardly ever gets to do that.]

I didn't know you even knew how to crack a joke. I'm impressed.

[jskhhfkjsdhf]

I'm not that serious! [...Mostly. Not completely. ... OH, WHATEVER.]

[Laughing now.]

Apparently not. Who knew?

[How the hell did Sokka get the best of him after that?]

...I don't expect it to be broadcasted. [It's kind of embarrassing.]

[You made it too easy.]

Don't worry, your secret is safe with me.

[It's always easy to one-up Edward.]

Hmph. [ARGH he is so in over his head. Escape, escape-] Lord Sigmund mentioned some projects. Was that not the case?

[Action]
