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.]

Well don't worry, I haven't mentioned it to anyone.

Besides, even if you were, I wouldn't care.

[Voice / Now this is private]

[vermified]

It's not that I'd expect to be treated differently. But assumptions don't help with first impressions. [And he needs all the help he can get with those.]

[Voice / Now this is private]

[markofthewise]

Well good. Even if you go off and become a king, I'm still the boss.

[Voice / Now this is private]

[vermified]

...You're free to tell yourself that, if it consoles you.

[Voice / Now this is private]

[markofthewise]

I feel very consoled.

[Voice / Now this is private]

[vermified]

Well. Good, then.

[....]

Just do yourself a favour and don't mention that whole marriage business to Aya.

[Voice / Now this is private]

[markofthewise]

She'd have the same reaction, huh?

[Voice / Now this is private]

[vermified]

She would be much more violent about it.

[Voice / Now this is private]

[markofthewise]

... what is it with women being so violent?

[Voice / Now this is private]

[vermified]

And you thought I should get married to one?

[Voice / Now this is private]

[markofthewise]

Hey. Love hurts, but it's way worth it.

[Voice / Now this is private]

[vermified]

Hmph. If I'm going to spend my life being ordered about, I'm much better off at Lord Sigmund's side.

[Voice / Now this is private]

[markofthewise]

[... just shaking his head.]

Man, Edward. Maybe you should just marry him.

[Voice / Now this is private]

[vermified]

[.....What is the proper response to that.]

[Voice / Now this is private]

[markofthewise]

[Epic Gink-esque pause.























ends.]

I was kidding.

[Voice / Now this is private]

[vermified]

...Of course you were, men don't marry each other.

[Voice / Now this is private]

[markofthewise]

Well, I wouldn't say that. The can fall in love. [Apparently. Or so Haruki claims.]

[Voice / Now this is private]

[vermified]

[Edward seems strangely unsurprised by this.] Well, yes. Anyone can fall in love, it isn't that hard.

[Voice / Now this is private]

[markofthewise]

Yeah. So then marriage. Or something. I don't know.

[Voice / Now this is private]

[vermified]

But men getting married makes no sense. Who would be the wife?

[Voice / Now this is private]

[markofthewise]

Um. Nobody would be the wife. They'd both be the husband. I guess.

[Voice / Now this is private]

[vermified]

....That's stupid.

[Voice / Now this is private]

[markofthewise]

[...]

Yeah, I guess you're right. By the way! There's something I have to show you.

[Voice / Now this is private]

[vermified]

[Oh thank god, any more of that topic and Edward might have exploded in a cloud of rainbow sparkles.]

What, at the smithy?

[Voice / Now this is private]

[markofthewise]

No. Just this.

[He'll just redirect Edward to this.]

... strangest request ever.
