Sokka the 43rd - [Action + Voice]

[markofthewise]

[See Sokka. See Suki. See Sokka and Suki but fully dressed. Despite having friends going around dying, getting injured, or what have you, nothing will dampen his warrior spirit... at having his girlfriend around. Which is why he's called off work so he can spend the day with her and show her off to the doubters. This means he'll be dragging her off to stores for ~shopping~ for whatever happens to look cool, interesting, or highly collectible. Or for lunch, eating at Seventh Heaven at a seat by the window naturally.

Pity Suki as she is dragged all through town and maybe even a little outside of town by her over enthusiastic boyfriend. He means well, really. Before this, however, he leaves a message on the journals. One of superb importance not only for his fellow workers, but for his fighting instructors as well. And friends maybe. And people who might happen to be fans. It's been known to happen.]

I am taking the day off. Because I have someone way better than some old smithy. [Indeed, that's all he had to say. He's worked at the smithy every day for two weeks now, so he's ready for a break. And Suki is way better, so he's not just saying that.]

((ooc: forward dated to tomorrow for less angst. I hope. Action tags will be tagged by Sokka and Suki, so beware!

Note: Please follow the order of Your Character > Sokka > Suki!))

[Guess who's watching you like a boss]

[action]

[markofthewise]

[Is it Suki? Because, she's totally Sokka's boss. Speaking of which, Sokka happens to push himself up against the window of the general store. He turns to Suki and points inside.]

Whoa. I think that toaster has eight slots. Do you have any idea how much toast we could make with that!?

So I finally decide to come back and you take the day off? Figures.

Voice

[markofthewise]

Yes. Yes I do. It's about time I get to spend the day with Suki!

[action]

[corrinesbell]

[Shopping around for some cold-weather clothes sort of guarantees her a run-in with them, doesn't it?]

Hey, watch where you're walking in here!

[action]

[markofthewise]

... and that's when I told him- oof!

[Sokka blinks after bumping into Sheena, having been too distracted regaling Suki with the time he went on a heroic rescue mission to save Nami from Aku.]

... oh, sorry Sheena.

[/jaws theme. Shopping around for people to harass pretty much guarantees a run in with them, huh?]

Well, who's this cutie?

[markofthewise]

[Well Sokka WAS looking at this awesome jacket, but that... gets his attention. That voice is familiar, but... the woman he sees does not quite match what he was expecting.]

I'm Sokka. [Yeah, turning that around on you. HA.]

[vulcanblazer.livejournal.com]

[Well, Adell is out shopping, looking for Miu's gift at the item store. This is harder than he thought, but he told Haruki he would be there and he doesn't really have any ideas. Maybe something will come to him.

...Well, until he hears Sokka's voice nearby, which prompts him to look in his direction.]

[markofthewise]

[Here comes the beginning of a story where Sokka is explaining to Suki how he named all his canoes. All three of them are named after women. None of them are named after her. Oops.]

... so I told Hugo, you know what? You should name the boat after a girl you care about. So that's how I named that canoe "Aila". The irony of course is that now I'm probably the only person in this whole place that even knows who that is!

[Heart, who is out doing her usual rounds of being aimless in town until she finds a user- Well, she's just out in town. She's not doing much more than people watching but a relatively tall girl with flaming red hair like this totally stands out. And she did say she would meet Sokka's girlfriend I think that wasn't in a meme??]

[markofthewise]

[Here comes Sokka, dragging Suki along to the next store. All the while chattering about his experiences.]

So with the old smithy owners gone, I went to take over, but this woman named Elisa Maza beat me to the punch. And became my boss- oh, hey Heart!

[Frey's been wandering in and out of the shops, trying to figure out what a "traffic light" is.

And not having much luck. He pauses when he notices Sokka and... someone else.] Hello.

[action]

[markofthewise]

[Sokka doesn't know either, but upon spotting Frey, he gives him a nod and walks on over.]

Hey! Frey, this is my girlfriend Suki. Suki, this is Frey, some guy I know. [He adds in a whisper and with his hand up between his face and her ear:] He's the one I mentioned before. With... the girl problem.

[Hello, Sokka. Your small neighbor child is outside playing with a kickball today.

Want your girlfriend to meet the ex?]

[markofthewise]

[It's a bright new day! Sokka is dragging Suki out of the house to SOCIALIZE and have fun.]

... and then we'll hit up the general store, grab some stuff. See if they have any- oh, hey Nanako- [He gives a wave as he spots the little girl nearby. He carries on.] new stuff.

[ahappylie.livejournal.com]

[He heard that note on the network and so he'd taken the morning off, too. Instead of going to the barracks, he ended up wandering around the village, going in and out of the stores trying to find things to help stock the new house. He's got a basket in his arms with odds and ends and on the top is riding a little stuffed animal piglet. As he comes out of one store, he spots Sokka and peers after him to see who this "someone way better than some old smithy" is.]

[markofthewise]

[You don't know how guilty Sokka feels about taking off, given that Haruki just told him about Souji's certain... illness. Still, when Sokka sees Souji, he very respectfully shuts up about his latest story.]

Hey, Master Souji. [He gives a brief, respectable nod. He then turns to Suki.] This is Okita Souji. He's been teaching me Tennen Rishin style.

[This a voice message from a snoopy Selphie.]

Oh? Details, please! Inquiring minds want to know.

[Voice]

[markofthewise]

Well, if you want to know, I'm spending the day with Suki.

[LIGHTS!]

[markofthebrave]

[So they're wandering around all day doing date-like things, but they've got to come home eventually, right? It's after the heat of the day, and Katara is in the garden. She looks up and waves as they come past.]

[CAMERAS!]

[markofthewise]

[Do they have to come home? Well... apparently so. Once more, he'll be telling Suki another one of his GRAND ADVENTURES in Luceti.]

So I pretty much told Ginko, "I don't know how they do it in your world, but I'm all over this war business. Me and my girlfriend took down an entire Fire Nation airship fleet without breaking a sweat." [Oh yeah. He's awesome. And then he notices Katara.] Oh, hey.

[Zuko has been spending the last couple of days slowly picking up stuff for his room from the shops. Today is no different, so while Sokka is dragging showing Suki around, Zuko is picking up what he hopes will be the last of what he will need for his room. He'll hear Sokka talking and turn to say hello to the two of them.]

[Action]

[markofthewise]

[Guess who Sokka is talking about now?]

... so Toph and I waited about five minutes making fun of Zuko before- [... wait, is that Zuko? Awwww shit.]

[action] I hope it's not too late for me to sneak in >>

[oda-hates-me.livejournal.com]

[Well, if they're gonna hit the restaurant for lunch, Sanji will be there. Thank god it's not too busy today - he's got a steady stream of customers, but they're spread out enough that he's not burning a path from the dining area to the kitchen and back.

So Sokka can get his damn window seat. 8|]

[action] Late? What's late?

[markofthewise]

[GOOD. Window seats are good. Sokka looks through the menu carefully.]

Hmm... I don't know. Do I get something I like or try something new?
