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.]

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 blame me after the last time we spoke? You were masquerading as a psychiatric professional!

[markofthewise]

Huh? I have no idea what you're talking about.

[1week-wizard.livejournal.com]

Of course not.

[markofthewise]

I don't even know who you are anyway.

[1week-wizard.livejournal.com]

Patchouli Knowledge. Librarian.

[markofthewise]

Oh right! I know of you. [You're... the librarian. Okay, that's all he knows.]

[1week-wizard.livejournal.com]

And I know of you, blacksmith.

[markofthewise]

Yeah, I hit up the library all the time. [He just... kind of takes books. And brings them back, finding a good spot for them later. Nobody explained how things are SUPPOSED to work to him.]

[1week-wizard.livejournal.com]

Do you have any outstanding late fees?

[markofthewise]

Late fees? For what?

[1week-wizard.livejournal.com]

Books.

[markofthewise]

Why would there be a fee for books? I mean, besides the lack of money, I thought the whole point was borrowing them.

[1week-wizard.livejournal.com]

And returning them in a timely fashion.

The fees are not for money.

[markofthewise]

Timely? I return them when I get done. [... and find them in his room.] And what's the fee?

[1week-wizard.livejournal.com]

Usually? Labor.

[markofthewise]

Labor? Right...

[1week-wizard.livejournal.com]

Should I explain that to you as well?

[markofthewise]

I know what labor is! But why? I bring back books eventually!

[1week-wizard.livejournal.com]

"Eventually" is not "Timely"

[markofthewise]

Since when do they have to be timely?

[1week-wizard.livejournal.com]

Since always.

[markofthewise]

No one ever told me.

[1week-wizard.livejournal.com]

Have you never used a library before?

[markofthewise]

The only other library I've been to is an ancient, underground library maintained by the Knowledge Spirit. He uh... wasn't too pleased at the topics we were looking at, so he tried to kill us all and bury us under the sand.

... I took some maps and books with me while escaping. I think I'm passed the point of returning them in a timely fashion.

[1week-wizard.livejournal.com]

... I see.

Regardless, you are meant to return items borrowed from a library.
