Sokka the 49th - [Action/Written]

[markofthewise]

[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.))

We tend to use it as a more generic term. Or not use it at all at all. When we kill something, we just call it killing. Unless it's food, then it's hunting.

[consultmybooks]

Do vampires exist in your world?

[markofthewise]

Not that I know of, no.

[consultmybooks]

Then Vampire Slayers probably don't, either.

[markofthewise]

That would seem to be the case, yeah.

[consultmybooks]

The best reasoning we could come up with is that the Organization somehow managed to "steal" Buffy's Slayer essence and replicate it during one of the last times she was kidnapped.

[markofthewise]

That's what I figured. Given everything else they've done? I figure this is relatively on the 'mild' side.

[consultmybooks]

How long have you had this?

[markofthewise]

Since we came back from that facility.

[consultmybooks]

The infiltration mission, you mean?

...you were one of the ones who were kidnapped?

[markofthewise]

That's right. They managed to make time to take me in for experimentation.

[consultmybooks]

...sorry that happened.

Do you actually want it fixed?

[markofthewise]

[He thinks about it. On one hand, the super strength and agility is useful. In an important battle, he could really help his friends out using it. But on the other hand...

He didn't work for it. He did nothing to earn it. How could he be proud of something that came so easily to him?]

Yeah. I do.

[consultmybooks]

Well, I'll see what I can find.

Unfortunately, traditionally the only way to stop being a Slayer is to die. And Buffy's even proven that wrong twice over. But I'll look into this.

[markofthewise]

Don't work too hard. These kind of things always wear off after about two weeks. So, not need to go find and kill me or anything.

[consultmybooks]

Well, I certainly wasn't planning on killing you. We've only just met, after all. Besides, I just said it wouldn't work.

[markofthewise]

Good. Just wanted to make clear that we're on the whole... no dying thing.

[consultmybooks]

Trust me. My only purpose in coming out here today was to investigate the mysterious animal deaths.

[markofthewise]

Right. [Glancing at that bloody mess.] Uh, maybe you should go get cleaned up. Or something.

[consultmybooks]

[What?

Oh...that blood.]

Yes, I should...probably do that. Yes.

Sorry I couldn't be of any help.
