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!))

[Pffffft. Yeah, the Water Tribe siblings are freaks when it comes to becoming masters of stuff. Also wow, sappy. He's going to stand here for a minute, looking at the two of them. Then he's going to laugh again. He wonders if this is what teenage years were supposed to be like.]

If there's too many people for it to be a date, then maybe I should go. I don't want to intrude on your tour-date-thing after all.

[Sokka was so lost in Suki's eyes that he needed a SIGNPOST to escape. It's funny if you follow other threads, really. Souji snaps him back to reality, though.]

You don't have to do that! Actually, Suki here has been known to use a sword pretty similar to yours.

[kyoshi]

[Blink blink. That's news to her.] Really?

[ahappylie.livejournal.com]

[... /goes to check out the other threads Souji blinks like Suki and looks to her.]

Is that so? You use a katana?

[markofthewise]

[Sokka merely nods, since that wasn't directed at him.]

And you should see what she can do with a fan, too!

[kyoshi]

[Oh, you.] You're not too bad with it yourself.

[ahappylie.livejournal.com]

[Baw, they're so cute.] Tessenjutsu, too? You might just give me a run for my money then, hm? I've never fought someone with a fan before.

[markofthewise]

Well, you know, I'm an unrivaled master of Boomerangjutsu. [See? He can make up words too. Even if it should probably be būmeranjutsu.]

[kyoshi]

[Wh-what.] I've... never heard it called that.

[ahappylie.livejournal.com]

[Boomerangjutsu? He's never heard of that. He looks to Suki, but she says she's never heard it called that either. Seeing as Souji has no idea what a boomerang is, he'll have to ask.]

What is...Boomerangjutsu? I don't believe you've shown me that yet.

(pretend this icon is happy!)

[markofthewise]

[Sokka throws his hands in the air and shakes his head.]

It's my personal fighting style that involves... [He reaches behind his back and pulls out Boomerang.] This!

(but pretending is haaaaaard)

[kyoshi]

[Ah yes, the boomerang.]

Do you have weapons like that where you're from, Master Okita?

(pffffffft Okita is still like wtf is that thing)

[ahappylie.livejournal.com]

.....not....really.

[He steps forward and looks at the strange crooked device thingy.]

....how does it work?

(gawd Souji, don't you know anything)

[markofthewise]

Well, I can throw it and it will always come back to me, unless it's blocked by something. In fact, if you want to pick out anything you can see, I bet I can hit it.

[Confident? Oh, you bet he is. And he has every reason to be.]

(he shall be educated!)

[kyoshi]

[Ooh, it's been a while since she got to see Boomerang in action. She points to a hanging sign off in the distance.]

How about that?

(gawd gaiz, he's old - give him a break :[ )

[ahappylie.livejournal.com]

[He smiles and nods, moving back so he can watch this demonstration.]

(he's not that old...)

[markofthewise]

Well if you insist!

[Well, Suki knows as well as he does that sign is doomed, so no need to bring it up. Sokka steps forward, holds his boomerang over his shoulder, and once he's worked out how to throw it, he sends it flying. It goes spinning at rapid speed, cutting through the wire holding up the sign, and then whipping back towards him where he catches it with ease.]

(well they are awfully young |D)

[kyoshi]

[Have a pleased little clap from your girlfriend.]

Now you just need to learn how to do that with a fan.

(that and by present day standards he's like 140 years old orz)

[ahappylie.livejournal.com]

[That was impressive. He's never seen a throwing star and comes back to the person. Now that he's seen it, he wants to learn how to use that thing. Or perhaps get Susumu to learn it since he's more on the throwing things. Plus, yes, his face looks like this.]

....that was really impressive.

(But he's young at heart~)

[markofthewise]

[Sokka feels immensely proud at having left his sensei so awed. He puts his boomerang away.]

I don't think fans can spin back like that, Suki.

(And probably more childish than both of them sometimes :|)

[kyoshi]

That sounds like a challenge to me!

(omg you guys are so mean ; ; he's totes an adult yo)

[ahappylie.livejournal.com]

It does indeed. [And he's mostly looking to see what Suki's tessenjutsu is like now. Kids these days; so impressive.]

(psh. barely)

[markofthewise]

Hey, if you can pull it off, then I'll be happy to have you teach me how. [So why don't you go ahead and try.]

[kyoshi]

[In front of you, so you can hold it over her head that your boomerang skills are uber? Noooo thanks. She'll be trying it out later, grasshopper.] We'll see.

( ; ; )

[ahappylie.livejournal.com]

[He smiles as he watches the two of them talk back and forth.]

Well, I look forward to seeing what you can do with your fans. It's a dying art in my country.
