Sokka the 47th - [Voice/Action]

[markofthewise]

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.]

Lloyd? Ah...

[How even to begin answering that? The words come of their own accord after a few moments.] He was my brother's best friend, even with the differences between them. He always had a carefree nature, and would often look out for people. He was never the best scholar... getting him to pay proper attention to lessons was a nightmare, sometimes. He has a large heart, though - he always saw the world in a way that not many others did. With his determination... well. Many things were affected, hopefully for the better.

[voice]

[doubleppk]

But you don't charge anything for them?

[voice]

[markofthewise]

Not a thing. They're just there. Like the food in the grocery store. People come. They take. They leave. Sometimes they say hi.

[action]

[markofthewise]

[Ahh, he knows that type of person. Like Aang! Such predictable heroic molds they come in.]

Sounds like he would've been my kind of guy. Kinda wish I had met him.

[voice]

[doubleppk]

Strange.

All right, can you do slightly more artistic pieces, like silversmithing instead of just blacksmithing?

[voice]

[markofthewise]

Uh, well. I can try? It's not really what I do...

[action]

[wise_maiden]

... Yes. I think you two would have gotten along.

[voice]

[doubleppk]

[Sighs.] Forget it then. Tch... too risky that you might lose quality on the materials.

[voice]

[markofthewise]

... if you say so. [Picky women! Yeesh.]

[voice]

[doubleppk]

Got anything else you can do?

[action]

[markofthewise]

Well, he must have got along with Edward. And we get along. So probably.

[Oh look, this is her house.] So uh. Here you are.

[voice]

[markofthewise]

Let's see fighting, hunting, smithing, I'm pretty good with engineering, uh. Boats. I'm good at making those.

[action]

[wise_maiden]

Indeed. [She looks up at the house. The staff feels so heavy, but at least there wasn't any trouble.]

... So it seems. Thank you for your help, Sokka.

[voice]

[doubleppk]

Mah... I'll let you know if something comes up then.

Or I could make you a start glider for free I suppose. As a good faith gesture so that you know I can.

[voice]

[markofthewise]

[And then he'd be in her debt. And he barely knows her. Hmmm...]

Maybe you should just hold off on that. For now.

[action]

[markofthewise]

Hey, don't mention it. You uh, get some rest. A nap or something. Looks like you could use one.

[With that, he'll start edging homeward.]

[voice]

[doubleppk]

[Quiet chuckle. Smart kid.]

Very well then.
