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.]

A sword is a sword is a sword, isn't it? All you gotta do is just...make sure you get it in the other guy's gut.

[l-lol see, you don't need extra nice swords when back home your natural strength makes up for even the dullest edge. Buffy sees most weapons as pure tools--no more worthy of differentiation than a fork.]

[You're telling this to someone who takes swordplay very seriously.]

... not really. A sword's not just something you hit people with. It's an extension of yourself. And it's even better when it's made of something like meteor rock.

[voice]

[herotypical]

But why bother when myself is already a pretty good extension of myself. Don't get me wrong--I like flashy blade and all but it's hardly worth getting attached.

[voice]

[markofthewise]

Well, if you're just going around smacking people with a sword, you're not even going to be as half a fighter as your could be.

[voice]

[herotypical]

Oh--it's not always a sword. Sometimes it's a crossbow, or...other things. But swords are pretty helpful for decapitations.

[voice]

[markofthewise]

... right. [Just gonna shake his head.]

Anyway, I'm making a new boomerang.

[voice]

[herotypical]

[...still stuck on decapitations.]

Now, a boomerang with blades on it? That might actually be somewhere approaching awesome.

[voice]

[markofthewise]

I already have a boomerang like that. This one would be better. The problem is the risk of making it so sharp, it would cut my fingers off when catching it.

[voice]

[herotypical]

Oh, right. They come back.

[voice]

[markofthewise]

Yeah. I wear gloves and catch it by the dull end. If for some reason I caught it wrong, it would cut me, but it's nothing I couldn't bandage. The one I want to make... well, catching it wrong wouldn't be an option.

[voice]

[herotypical]

...Why? What's it got? A flamethrower?

[voice]

[markofthewise]

No, like I said before. It would be so sharp, it could cut my hand off.
