Sokka the 50th - [Action/Voice]

[markofthewise]

When do we start getting some real snow around here? I've seen a little here and there, but the stuff practically melts by the time it hits the ground! My real birthday is in November, but not, you know, the one it is in Luceti. I won't actually be, you know, seventeen this month. That's not the point. But back home, we have some pretty good blizzards this time of year. I mean, sure, there's snow all the time back home, but November snow is... special? Kind of? I'm just hoping we don't have to wait until December for the real stuff. Sunshine and flowers are great and all, but it's getting kind of old by now, you know?

[Filtered to Poland and Shikamaru]

I have your orders ready. Sorry they're a bit late. But, you know how it is. Throw in some super strength, stupid costumes, and hallucinations and you get a little behind. But they're good to pick up.

[Filtered to Katie]

I finished the sword you wanted. You know, the one you were going to make? But never did? At two in the morning? Yeah, I have it. You should come pick it up.

[Having let everyone know his feelings about the weather, as well as work related updates, Sokka settles into the smithy to get some work done and meet anyone coming to pick up their orders. Afterward, he decides to have some fun in the Battle Dome. He can either be stopped on his way there from the smithy, or someone can meet up with him there.]

[What do cookies have to do with anything?]

Only because they're so easy to make up.

[Fortunes from fortune cookies only count if you add in bed onto the end of them.]

Well, duh. That's kinda the point of them.

[markofthewise]

My friend's uncle says this kind of stuff all the time. He's supposed to sound wise or something, I think.

[voice]

[herotypical]

Yeah the ones who are touted to be wise? Usually pretty low on the wisdom. At least, that's what I've experienced.

[voice]

[markofthewise]

Old people! Am I right?

[voice]

[herotypical]

They're just so...old.

[voice]

[markofthewise]

And wrinkly. And extremely powerful.

[voice]

[herotypical]

You lost me at powerful.

[voice]

[markofthewise]

Well, see, there's these bunch of old people in my world. Really old! Like, Bumi is over a hundred years old. And they're all part of this secret order that spans all four nations. At first they just seem like harmless old people. But that's where you're wrong! They are all the greatest masters of their disciplines. The best of the best.

[voice]

[herotypical]

Sounds like a conspiracy to me.

[voice]

[markofthewise]

The good kind of conspiracy. They really were helpful when we took down the Fire Nation.

[voice]

[herotypical]

I've been acquainted with that kind of conspiracy. Lemme guess--it was nice of them to finally play their hand?

[voice]

[markofthewise]

I guess? It was kind of lucky we even ran into them.

[voice]

[herotypical]

Were they in hiding?

[voice]

[markofthewise]

Kind of? We had to track down Zuko's uncle from the other side of the world using one of his old smelly sandals and a Shirshu.

[voice]

[herotypical]

...What's a shear-shoe?

[voice]

[markofthewise]

Big ugly animal, it's practically blind but it can see through smell. The one we ran into was owned by a bounty hunter and it could track down anyone, no matter where in the world they were.

[voice]

[herotypical]

Oh, like a bloodhound.

[voice]

[markofthewise]

... maybe? [He wouldn't know.]

[voice]

[herotypical]

[Hmm.] It's a dog that can...smell people really well.

[voice]

[markofthewise]

It's tongue could also paralyze people instantly. [Can your dog do that Buffy? I think not.]

[voice] - HAPPY NOW?

[herotypical]

That is not the kind of thing I want for a pet.

[voice] - I'M NEVER HAPPY

[markofthewise]

I'll admit. I probably wouldn't want one either. I'm good with Momo and Hawky.

[voice] - no pleasing you!

[herotypical]

And what are they?

[voice]

[markofthewise]

Flying lemur and messenger hawk.
