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.]

[markofthewise]

Yeeeeah, pretty much. I feel sorry for her boyfriend, really.

[Action]

[endgames]

Friend of yours?

[Action]

[markofthewise]

Yeah, friend. Well, he is now. When she was throwing knives at us, he wasn't a friend.

[Action]

[endgames]

Was he afraid of getting missed too?

[Action]

[markofthewise]

No, they just were both part of the same nation that was out to kill us.

[Action]

[endgames]

Aa. War thing? Your sister mentioned something about that.

[Action]

[markofthewise]

Yeah, long story short, Zuko wanted to redeem his honor by capturing the Avatar, who me and my sister were traveling with. Eventually he realized that doing that wouldn't restore his honor and so on, he changed sides and helped us out. And his girlfriend helped him out as a result. The end.

[Action]

[endgames]

Yay for a happy ending? [He's getting the super condensed version, he knows, but he also knows not to nose around more than necessary.]

[Action]

[markofthewise]

Pretty much. Of course, that's not including all the awesome stuff I did. [But those stores are for the laaaadies.]

[Action]

[endgames]

I'm fine with the abrdiged version.

[He takes to spinning the kunai again, trying to get used to the feel of it as he talks.] So is it just you and your sister here from your world? No bad guys, I take it.

[Action]

[markofthewise]

There's also Zuko, Toph, and my girlfriend Suki. So, the five of us. And Jet, but he's not what you'd call a friend or enemy.

[Action]

[endgames]

[He nods, pretty sure he's heard one or two of those names, though not the last one.]

So he's a jerk. Shame there's not a list for those.

[markofthewise]

You can't really make a list for people who just happen to be unlikable. It's not like he's done anything evil... here. [He almost destroyed a village once, true. But that was the old Jet, right?]

[endgames]

Luceti doesn't provide the same motives as our home worlds do. Most of the time.

[markofthewise]

Yeah. No money, no borders, and we've got everything in supply. The only 'bad guys' around here are just the insane ones.

[endgames]

Hn. Speaking of those. Did your sister tell you what she and I talked about? [He suspects Katara probably would have said something, so he wouldn't be surprised if she beat him to the punch. Still, he did say he would bring it up.]

[markofthewise]

She mentioned something about this guy from your world... but I didn't exactly get all the details. [Frankly there's been a lot more important stuff going on.]

[endgames]

[Which is the reason why he didn't bring it up to Sokka sooner.]

They're long and complicated. Basically, he's one of the most dangerous criminals from my world. He hasn't done anything here, but that doesn't change much. I spoke with a member of the Justice League awhile back about placing him on the watch list, but I was told you're the one who maintains it.

[markofthewise]

Sounds pretty serious. [Sokka glances over at his journal sitting nearby.] Yeah, I keep it updated. I try not to make a big deal out of it. I don't exactly like painting a big target on my back, but somebody has to do it, right?

[endgames]

[He nods.] Unfortunately, since it's not like the thing will take care of itself. Smart to keep it quiet though.

[markofthewise]

Right. So tell me what I need to know.

[endgames]

It's actually two names. Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Sasuke.

Like I said, Itachi hasn't done anything here in Luceti, but where I'm from he was still a traitor and a member of a dangerous criminal organization.

From what I've seen, Sasuke hasn't done anything here either but from what I understand this isn't his first time in Luceti, so I don't know if that's always been the case.

[markofthewise]

Right. Are they related or something? I mean, the both have the same first name, so... Or is Uchiha like the Li of your world?

[endgames]

Same clan name - where I come from that's said before the given name. They're brothers.

[markofthewise]

Oh. Right, right... [Water Sokka? Water Katara? Nope, doesn't have a good ring to it. Oh well.]

You've seen the list, right? Where do you think they belong?
