markofthewise | Sokka the 49th

[It was another day at the Avatar house. Well, minus the lack of Katara. Which meant a quiet breakfast. Too quiet. Suki and Zuko were quiet on their own. But Aang? That wasn't like him. So after cleaning up, he decides to go check on the weird bald monk. Only when he opens up Aang's room... it's an all too familiar sight. It's been emptied out completely. All that's left is the bed, furniture... and Roku's air glider. Again. They sent Aang back again. Barely even two months and he was already gone. It wasn't enough they had to take Katara, but now this...

He lingers for a few seconds, then grabs the staff and storms out of the house. That is, unless, Zuko or Suki happen to stop him first. Either way, he'll end up in the forest later. He and Momo are trying to find Appa, who they can't find either. What they do find, however, is the unusual carcass of a deer. It doesn't take long for Sokka to note that the wounds that killed it don't match any animal in his world or this one. With Momo acting skittish, he gives themselves some distance before opening his journal and writing a message.]

What kind of predator kills its prey with punctures to the skull?

((ooc: Sokka can be found leaving his house or in the woods at any point, the latter scenario will be with Momo on hand. Sokka is still dressed up like this. No wig, but his hair is down, since it refuses to stay in a hairtie.))

No, they didn't. I've seen this kind of behavior in my world before. But of course, then I could predict the conditions.

But I guess there's nothing to do but wait.

I'm going to keep looking. Maybe there's more.

You should be careful, Sokka-- if it's not acting like a normal predator, it might not be something you want to run into. Even armed.

I'll be fine, Ginko. [He's just a tad determined and reckless right now.]

[hnnng. Can't.... leave it... alone...] Why are you so set on it? -- we could be dealing with some really dangerous unknowns, in the next few days.

Because I'm looking for Appa. If whatever is out there is attacking animals, it could go after Appa too.

That sky-bison is here? [how did he miss this? Wait, there was a point...] Hnn. Isn't that thing large enough to take care of itself? And can't it fly? [hufff. He wonders it Katara knows you're hunting Dangerous Creatures.]

Just don't do anything stupid.

He might be. But once he realizes Aang isn't around, he's going to be pretty upset. Someone has to calm him down. [... because Katara isn't around to do it.] After I find him, we'll go home.

[a hard to read] Hmm.

....Aang isn't around? Did he get kidnapped?

Sent home.

[Yup, Ginko. Sokka knows full well what this means for Katara when she gets back. Do you?]

[If her reaction the last time it happened in any indication? And considering her painfully optimistic joy when he showed up again? He certainly does. Which is why his reply is an unqualified- ]

....Shit.

......How is she?

[... oh, right. Ginko wouldn't even know, would he?]

They kidnapped her.

....Mm.

[-- yeah. That makes a little more sense, now. Quietly-] Then maybe if this week takes a more dangerous turn, she won't have to remember it. [as fractionally reflective of his actual thoughts that might be, it's the truth]

No, she'll get to miss all of this and come back and- [Meh, it's not worth saying.]

[firmly] She'll come back, and there's no way to know in what condition. Expect that she'll need you to be in one piece.

I will be.
