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.]

[TWITCH. But a girl, huh? It would figure.

He sighs.] Troublesome woman...

But thanks. I guess I owe you one. Would've been a real pain in the ass if they got melted down. [A shame too - they're a pretty cool looking set.]

[Or Sokka might have done it. They look like just jagged metal shards to him.]

I could have made replacements, though!

[Never tell him.]

Heh. As good of a metalworker as you might be, it would've been tough to replace these. They belonged to my sensei. [And are made out of a very special metal that channels chakra, but he'll just stick to the sentimental value.]

Oh. Yeah, you can't make that. [His sword and boomerang have the same sentimental attachment to him.]

[He sticks them in his belt.] So yeah - thanks. What'd you say your name was?

I didn't. I'm Sokka Thunderaxe, I run the place. Nice to meet you.

Thunderaxe, huh? ...Nice. [Sorry, Katara. He's a guy.]

Nara Shikamaru - same. And I think I've met your sister, actually.

[.... suspicious now.]

Really? When?

When I first got here. She explained some things about the place. [She also loaned him your pai sho board for about an hour, but he won't mention that.]

Oh. [So she was just helping a New Feather. No harm done.]

Yeah, we all end up doing our part to help people settle in.

So I've noticed. [Too helpful at times, he thinks, though that's the cynic in him. Really, it's a shame more people aren't like that.] Always good to see that in people. Say hi to her for me, will ya?

Actually, I was just talking to her.

[He walks over to the couch and grabs his journal.]

Go ahead.

[And suddenly those bits of conversation he heard before are so much more amusing. He takes the journal with a nod.] Yo.

[Katara had put the journal down for a bit to concentrate some more on her homework, and she's a little surprised when Shikamaru's voice comes through what she has slated as her brother's journal.]

Hey, Shikamaru! [Peering at the book now.] What's up?

[AHA. She knows who he is. From his voice. Very interesting.

... was this the guy she was into?]

Nothin' much, just stopped by the smithy. Your brother helped me find something I've been looking for. Seems like a nice guy.

He's all right. [And probably eavesdropping right now - considering this IS his journal. Hmm... to troll or to ask the question that just occurred to her...

Today, curiosity wins.] Was it what you were looking for when we met?

[Of course he's all right. Yeesh.]

Yup. Guess they were here after all.

[...In the scrap metal pile. B|]

Good. I'm glad.

[...talking to him knowing that her brother is just RIGHT THERE is starting to get weird now.]

I guess I'll see you around, then.

Seeya Katara. [He'll let Shikamaru say his goodbye before he shuts it.]

Later.

[He locks his hands behind his neck.] Should probably let you go too. I'm sure you're busy.

Eh, not really. [Not yet... he has yet to get an order for a cute sword or a monkey cage.]

But I can make do.

In that case, mind if I place an order?

Sure! What do you need? [Whipping out a pen and paper... from somewhere.]
