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.]

I'm not so much in the bullet making business, but we do have them.

[... everything beyond New Feather guns/ammo being under lock and key.]

[voice]

[doubleppk]

[If she finds out she will attempt to pick those locks. :|]

What kinds?

[voice]

[markofthewise]

Uh. All kinds?

[He's no firearms expert! He just knows you put the bullets into the slots that fit.]

[voice]

[doubleppk]

Calibers?

[She WILL keep pestering him however. If he commiserates with Raph they can bond over how she does that. :|]

[voice]

[markofthewise]

The good kind. Generally. We might have a few duds, but I try to get rid of those.

[Alas that Raphael no longer hangs out in the smithy!]

[voice]

[doubleppk]

[...] No, sugar. [Exasperated sigh.] Look you know how to use the metric system?


[Ack! How sad! /should stay more up to date.]

[voice]

[markofthewise]

[Sugar? SUGAR? Well, she is an older attractive woman. Letting that slide.]

Of course I do. The calibers are measured in millimeters. I just don't have them memorized or anything.

[voice]

[doubleppk]

So you don't have enough to keep them sorted at least?

[voice]

[markofthewise]

Oh. They're sorted. Somewhere. I guess. We used to have someone who paid more attention to that kind of thing. The three of us here really aren't the firearm type.

[voice]

[doubleppk]

Well at least you have the equipment to make them.

Anything for clips?

[voice]

[markofthewise]

Yeah, we have those too. You know, this would be just easier if you told me exactly what you're looking for.

[More than usual, actually. He hasn't exactly went around spreading the word, but the Malnosso have been a little more generous in the amount that shows up.]

[voice]

[doubleppk]

Tell me the price range of favors first.

I'm not exactly about to go around openly explaining my arsenal if I can avoid it.

[voice]

[markofthewise]

[The way she says favors...]

Err. Well uh, I've worked for baked goods before. I'm not picky.

[voice]

[doubleppk]

[That's why she asks...]

Oh honey, you do not want me making you baked goods.

[voice]

[markofthewise]

Well. Erm. What else can you offer?

[voice]

[doubleppk]

Jeez, I don't know. Nothing useful here...

OH WAIT!

Do you know what hang-gliding is?

[voice]

[markofthewise]

A glider? Yeah, I know a thing or two about those. [He could have flown one, but he was too busy geeking out about SCIENCE at the time.]

[voice]

[doubleppk]

I can make as many as you want. I mean it'll still be hard to get up a lot of height, but they should be fun for jumping off the rooftops with.

[voice]

[markofthewise]

That would be pretty cool, but what exactly are you trading those for? If it's stuff already in the smithy, I can't exactly charge you for that.

[voice]

[doubleppk]

Why not? Are the bullets duds or something?

[voice]

[markofthewise]

No. But... I didn't make them. The Malnosso just resupply us with stuff every now and then.

[voice]

[doubleppk]

Like the food and stuff?

[voice]

[markofthewise]

Exactly!

[voice]

[doubleppk]

So who's holding onto them? Just the smithy?

[voice]

[markofthewise]

That's right. They arrive here, we deal with them.
