markofthewise | Sokka the 46th

[As if Sokka hasn't had enough teleporting shenanigans... With the experiment going into its final hours in the early evening until midnight, Sokka is reappearing in quite a number of places. Bedrooms, closets, roofs, the middle of nowhere... it's all quite convenient. ((ooc: In other words, say where you want him to be and that's where he'll be!))

At one point, he falls into the southern lake. Right into the middle... going splash. After sinking quite deep from the height of the fall, he drags himself to shore, but only after he gets there does he realize he lost Boomerang to the bottom of the lake. After vainly attempting to dive for it several times, he'll be sitting on the edge of the lake looking generally defeated and pathetic at the failed attempts. The fact it's dark and cold don't even seem to bother him. Boomerang is everything to him. ((ooc: Retrieving it is locked to Razette, but others can certainly talk to him so long as they don't have the power to go dive for it themselves.))

He also, unfortunately, ends up in the mountains at about midnight. Come early next morning (post-event), an exhausted, bedraggled, and by now somewhat injured Sokka will be dragging himself into town from the plaza, on his way home. He looks pretty much horrible from how much the experiment has abused him.]

((ooc: please specify at which point you're running into him?))

[She points to him, then uses her fingers to touch the sides of her mouth and frown, indicating that he looks sad.]

[Gosh Razette, don't make fun of him! He's really broken up over here, okay. He tries to ignore her by poking the dirt in front of him with a stick. Which snaps in two. Dammit.]

[... Coming over to try consoling him instead, humming worriedly. What's wrong?]

[He glances at her and huffs out a sigh.]

Hey Razette.

♪...? [She looks worried. What's wrong?]

You ever lost something? Like... a part of yourself? And you'll probably never get it back?

[She nods at that. Of course. She never liked the feeling.]

[He goes back to digging in the dirt with his tiny little twig.]

I lost Boomerang.

[Headtilt. Boomerang?]

It fell in the water. I tried diving for it, but it's too deep. [Siiiiigh.] It's no use.

[Her ears perk up. Oh, really?] ♪!

[A sad not. He actually understood that.]

It's no good. I'd have to build some kind of breathing tube long enough to reach the surface. And a suit of some kind... by the time I did that, I'd never be able to find it.

[She points to herself, then to him, then the water. She can help you there.]

[He watches her with a confused expression. Wait, did she mean...?]

You could get it? [He thinks.] But you wouldn't really know where to look, would you? [... but it was better than nothing.]

[She tilts her head. Well, no she wouldn't... Um... Oh!

She picks off one of her scales and opens her mouth, putting the scale in front of it to indicate that he should put it in his mouth. She then hands it to him, looking curiously if he would.]

[Okay, that completely distracted him. For a moment he was blenching at the thought she would ACTUALLY eat it. But then she gives it for him. To eat?]

I know you want to cheer me up Razette, but really... that's kind of gross. And I'm not that hungry!
