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.]

Can you make a saber?

Of course I can.

[Fiiine. Let's do voice. His mind is kind of screaming no BECAUSE THIS IS A STRANGER, but he does have to talk about the saber and that's important so give him a few minutes of complete silence.]

G-good metal?

We have a lot of great metal. Generally speaking, the carbon steel the Malnosso provide is really good.

Hard to break and stuff? Good wear and tear?

Of course! And if it doesn't stand you, you'll get your money back.

Wait, we like, have money and stuff?

Nope! That's why it's so easy to say that.

But uh, what if it does like, break and junk? That'd be totally lame.

We'll fix it! But as long as you're taking care of it, that shouldn't happen.

I'm like, amazing at taking care of my saber!

But um, what do I have to do and stuff to get it?

[... right. Whoever this guy is, he's not exactly the brightest guy around.]

Just give me whatever specifics you want and I'll get started on it!

It has to have a totally cute looking hilt.

[That's what matters after all.]

Uh... wait, what?

A cute hilt? Pretty? Adorable? Awesome? Beautiful?

[What other words are there?]

...Nice-looking?

Uh. Well, yeah. We can do that. I'm not sure what passes for cute on a hilt, but...

Flowers!

If you have like, a pretty saber? People know you're awesome.

[... well okay, Sokka's sword actually has lotus flowers on the hilt. But...]

Umm. Flowers, right. Any particular kind?

The pretty kind! Oh oh! If you can't do that? Think you could make the hilt in the shape of an eagle's head?!

[He is very serious (http://i51.tinypic.com/2jczc3o.png)]

Umm. Hey, how about you just draw a general shape of what you're looking for? I'll go with that.

[He draws a very crude version of this (http://i51.tinypic.com/2jczc3o.png).]

This? Think you can do that?

[Give him a second to make it out.]

That's... not too bad. Yeah, I bet I can manage that. It will take longer than usual, though.

That's totally cool. I don't like, think I'll need it too soon. Do you add the scabbard too?

... yeah, I can do the scabbard. But uh, I'll let you figure out how to make it cute after you get it.

That's so totally sweet of you! Your name's Sokka, right? I'm Poland!
