Sokka the 48th -- [Voice/Action]

[markofthewise]

[After being sent home in his own bed, Sokka had slept in a bit, finally had some real food and then went to see Suki. By now, he figures he should check to see how things went. Thus, he has a message to leave.]

Well that was a lousy week. How's everyone else doing? Did I miss anything?

Oh and uh. I think I might have to take the week off from the smithy. Maybe longer. That goes for training too.

[... yeah, that should do. He'll hang around town acting just a bit odd. For instance, very gently and very slowly opening the doors to shops. He doesn't bother going to the smithy. He's mainly just trying to stave off boredom due to the fact he really can't do much of anything now. Stupid Malnosso.]

Well, let's see here... I've got some... apples, some cookies from the bakery, a fresh loaf of bread, some pasta, pasta sauce and the most recently addition to my collection of goodies... [She produces a magazine on weapons from her homeworld.] a magazine from back home!

[And seeing as she's feeling rude about producing all this food and not sharing any, Selphie scoops out an apple and offers it to Sokka.] Want an apple?

[Action]

[markofthewise]

Thanks! [He starts eating it immediately. Oh man, he is so hungry! But he's been trying so hard not to break stuff getting to food.]

[Action]

[Selphie giggles as he starts wolfing down the apple.]

It's not going anywhere, you don't have to eat it so fast. [But she'll pass him another one if he wants it.]

[Action]

[markofthewise]

[He slows down, but talks with his mouth full.]

Sorry, just didn't get to eat much today. [And yes, he'll take that other apple.]

[Action]

[Selphie will just have to go back for more as she just plops the bag in front of him.] Help yourself then.

But... why didn't you just go to the grocery shop and grab something from there?

[Action]

[markofthewise]

Well uh, you don't have to give me the whole bag. [He's not exactly giving it back or anything, but...]

The grocery store is closed.

[Action]

[boomchucka.livejournal.com]

It's okay, I can go back and get some more.

[Now she knows that's not true.] I was just there not too long ago. There's no way it's closed.

[Selphie studies Sokka closely for a few moments.] Are you sure you're okay?

[Action]

[markofthewise]

I'm fine. I just meant the door is closed.

[And he doesn't want to add to his special number of doors he's managed to rip off the hinges today.]

[Action]

[boomchucka.livejournal.com]

So you open it.

[Action]

[markofthewise]

I uh. Don't want to break it.

[Action]

[boomchucka.livejournal.com]

[He doesn't wanna break the door? She finally asks the question that she should've asked upon seeing Sokka.]

What'd they do to you?

[Action]

[markofthewise]

Made it so I break doors. And, well, everything else.

[Super strength. Gotta love it.]

[Action]

[boomchucka.livejournal.com]

[That sounds different and it beats being blind right?]

You know... you could ask someone to open the doors for you if you're worried about breaking them.

[Action]

[markofthewise]

Well, I would. But, it kind of sounds wimpy. "Hey, could you open this door for me?" It makes it sound like I'm super weak.

[Action]

[boomchucka.livejournal.com]

Asking for help doesn't make you weak.

[Action]

[markofthewise]

Well, no. It's the whole, well, the thing about not being able to open it myself. When really, opening doors is really easy.

[Action]

[boomchucka.livejournal.com]

But the buildings rebuild themselves anyway which doesn't help things really but... maybe you could try opening them with a single finger. Or you ask someone to get you some stuff too. Like I'm about to offer to do if you're really hungry.

[Action]

[markofthewise]

Well. Yeah... [The whole asking people to do things for him? He doesn't like that. He prefers to be the guy people ask for favors.] I can't train or work as it is. I don't want to be completely useless this entire time.

[Action]

[boomchucka.livejournal.com]

I bet there's some people who could use some help with some heavy lifting.

[Action]

[markofthewise]

That's all good and well, but I can't control it. Sometimes I'm super strong. Other times I'm regular strong. I never know which one I'll be.

[Action]

[boomchucka.livejournal.com]

Hmmm... [Selphie taps her chin thoughtfully.]

You might just have to wait it out... It's a pain in the butt but it might be the only thing you can do.

[Action]

[markofthewise]

This week is going to be so boring. I wasn't even supposed to get experimented on! I was only there for two days.

[Action]

[boomchucka.livejournal.com]

You could always keep an ear open for all the latest gossip? And be grateful they didn't make you blind for two weeks.

[Action]

[markofthewise]

[... oh right. That happened to her.]

Yeah, I guess you're right. It could be worse.

[Action]

[boomchucka.livejournal.com]

It could be a lot worse. Besides, it'll go away soon right?
