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.]

With. I meant with me, obviously. Just a small mistake.

[Voice]

[vermified]

[....]

Don't mock me.

[Voice]

[markofthewise]

It's a joke, Edward. We're equal partners. Professor Raine even says so, in the guide. Let me read it:

"Slash and Crash: Currently maintained by Sokka, Edward, and associates, this is a shop that focuses on the forging of weaponry, among other craft items."

See? It's only Winry that works for us. We're co-owners.

[Voice]

[vermified]

[Pfffft.]

...Hmph. You'll end up giving Lord Sigmund the wrong idea.

[Voice]

[markofthewise]

Oh gee, we wouldn't want that. [What will he do? Forbid Edward from coming to the smithy?]

[Voice]

[vermified]

I don't. No doubt you could care less. [Though at this point Edward isn't even sure if Sigmund would care.]

[Voice]

[markofthewise]

Hey, that's not fair. I care. Really.

[Voice]

[vermified]

Really. [VERY SKEPTICAL IS THIS ONE. At least as far as this business is concerned.]

[Voice]

[markofthewise]

Well, of course! Let's say things get really tense. You get kicked out of your home. You end up crashing at my place. You eat up all our food, never clean up after yourself, and use up more that your allotted time in the bathroom. Absolute chaos.

[Voice]

[vermified]

Wh-who said anything about getting kicked out? [Oh god Guy said something didn't he, THIS IS WHAT HE GETS FOR CONFIDING IN PEOPLE

....

HEY. He would never do all of that!]

[Voice]

[markofthewise]

Nobody said anything about-

Wait. You think you could actually get kicked out? What happened? [Is this Sokka's fault somehow? Is Sigmund just tired of Edward getting lost?]

[Voice]

[vermified]

Of course not! Don't be ridiculous. [Hello sudden turn-around! /o/]

[Voice]

[markofthewise]

Hey, if something's going on, you can tell me.

And if you do need to spend a couple of nights at my place, it's okay. Really.

[Voice]

[vermified]

[.....]

There's nothing going on.

[Not something he'll discuss over the journals, anyway. Plus Sokka looked rather uncomfortable the last time he so much as hinted at it, so adding to the awkward would be kind of messy.]

[Voice / Now this is private]

[markofthewise]

[Totally unconvinced here. He'll drop it. After all...]

So. Aya. When I met her, she mentioned something interesting.

[Voice / Now this is private]

[vermified]

[Whew, this sounds like a safer topic.]

What did she say?

[Voice / Now this is private]

[markofthewise]

[... or is it?]

She called you King Edward.

[Voice / Now this is private] 1/idk

[vermified]

[......King Edward?]

[Voice / Now this is private] n/m that's enough for now |D

[vermified]

[King Edward? Oh, That's a laugh.]

You must have met a different Aya, then.

[Voice / Now this is private]

[markofthewise]

No, pretty sure it's the Aya that I see who comes in and out of your house.

[Voice / Now this is private]

[vermified]

Then she must have been playing you. I'm no king- I'm not even close to being in line for a throne.

[Voice / Now this is private]

[markofthewise]

I don't know, she didn't really seem the joking type. [He thinks.]

Maybe she's from the future! You hooked up with some pretty princess and were married.

[Voice / Now this is private]

[vermified]

[.........Oh god that sounds like a nightmare. Is that really supposed to happen!?] Why the hell would I want that?

[Voice / Now this is private]

[markofthewise]

Why not? I dated a princess once. It was awesome!

I also had a princess try to kill me. So... it varies.

[Voice / Now this is private]

[vermified]

I would rather not have to deal with them. Or women in general, if it can be avoided.
