Sokka the 47th - [Voice/Action]

I guess that's it for the new people, unless it starts up again this month. Well, anyway, I'm Sokka. Or Sokka Thunderaxe as some have been known to call me. I'm fine with either one.

I run the smithy here in town, known as the Slash 'n Crash, along with Edward and Winry. They both work for me. [They don't, but this is some rather obvious trolling here.] So if you need any kind of weapons made, or sharpened, or you know... some other kind of odd job. I'm the go to guy for that. There isn't money, so... the stuff is free. But we do accept favors as payment! Or food. Or well, anything. Just ask for me, Sokka. That's with an okka. [Accept no substitutes.]

[Filtered to Raine]

Speaking of which, mind dropping by today?

[Filtered to Regal and Gelda]

Sooooo. [A beat.] How did it go?

[For you action lovers out there, Sokka can be found at his usual haunts. School, the smithy, eating lunch in the plaza, or generally hanging out around his house.]

I'll take your word for it. [Sigmund and Capell are obsessed with them, so they can't be bad or anything. But still. Not that special at all.]

Hmm. [He strokes his chin.]

But you're not taking into account supply and demand. The supply of swords with cute hilts is very limited, whereas there's no shortage of food.

Yeah... [He'd recommend going and finding pictures of them or something... or just, boob gazing. But that's not exactly polite, now is it?]

You do that.

But like, that food could totally be gnarly and they could be poisoning us or something. I'm like, saving your life.

I'm sure I could find someone else to do some farming...

[NO.

A small squeak and then he speaks again, trying to sound calm.]

J-just like, make me the saber and I'll do the farming, okay?!

Deal! I'll have your sword done in a week!

Okay!

[He sounds happy too, like he doesn't even realize what happened. He doesn't. He's just happy to get his sword, Very tricky, Sokka.]

I'll let you know when it's done.

[By then, Sokka will feel bad for being such a cheat and probably call the farming thing off. He got caught up in the moment! It's not often he gets to be a shrewd negotiator.]

Do you have any outstanding late fees?

Yes, I've... noticed. I'm wondering if I'll need to enforce seating arrangements.

Yeah, well... wait, why?

It would make for less distractions.

I don't know what you mean.

No, I suppose you wouldn't. [Sigh.] In any case, I should probably start heading home. [While it's still light out. Or before any creepers come out. That kind of thing. She still looks drained, though.]

[Yeah, he notices. That doesn't seem right. He'd feel guilty letting her carry that... thing home alone.]

I'm pretty much done here for the day and you're place isn't really that out of the way...

A sword is a sword is a sword, isn't it? All you gotta do is just...make sure you get it in the other guy's gut.

[l-lol see, you don't need extra nice swords when back home your natural strength makes up for even the dullest edge. Buffy sees most weapons as pure tools--no more worthy of differentiation than a fork.]

[She tilts her head at him.] Are you... offering to see me home, Sokka?

Uh. Yeah, is that okay? [Is this a violation of the teacher and student relationship?]

... Yes, it's fine. Thank you. [She just wasn't expecting the offer.] If you're certain it's not out of your way, of course.

No, not really. I always take the shortcut through the woods anyway.

[He walks over to Hawky and gets the bird to climb on his shoulder.]

Ready to go?

All right. [She usually does too. Unfortunately, that's where she's gotten attacked the most. She adjusts her hold on the rod, making sure it's wrapped securely.]

Yes, I'm ready.

[You're telling this to someone who takes swordplay very seriously.]

... not really. A sword's not just something you hit people with. It's an extension of yourself. And it's even better when it's made of something like meteor rock.

[He usually manages to avoid getting attacked too often. One of the advantages of not living with Yuber's summoner, perhaps. He goes to the door and opens it, waiting for her to follow.]

So, I found out the library? You're not supposed to just take them and put them back in any spot.

Late fees? For what?
