Sokka the 51st - [Voice/Action]

[markofthewise]

[This morning, the Sokka that wakes up is not the one he was before. However as he gets out of bed, he soon recognizes the room he's in. He remembered it from two years ago... how did he get back here? How was he going to get back? With a sigh, he turns to his journal.]

What's the month and cycle here?

[Best to find out how long he's been gone. He soon finds some clothes that aren't too small on him and gets dressed, heading out to see what's changed since he's been gone from Luceti. Already he knows something is wrong. If he was sent home and brought back, all this stuff shouldn't be here. Maybe some people from home are here. Or maybe... maybe his sister is still alive here. He swallows hard as he exits his room, going to explore the house.

Later in the day, he'll be roaming town, now educated about what exactly is going on. He isn't too happy about it, but he can at least catch up with some old friends before he's sent home.]

((ooc: Avatar Sokka again! From his perspective, he left for his own world in August and has been gone for two years. He has all of his memories from prior to AU, thought it may take awhile for him to remember some people. Anyone regular Sokka met after August is completely new to him. Also, replies will come from avatarsokka. Sokka is now eighteen, taller (5'10), and more built than his icons imply (Earthbending does that to you). He has since fixed his shoop beard.))

[So he does. She gets a weird look as he regards her. It takes him a second before he realizes... that's Toph, only younger. Just like that time he was in that weird, other Luceti.]

Toph?

[barefoot-bender.livejournal.com]

[She stops, not facing him as usual.] Sokka? You sound like you have a co-

[She pauses before tossing in a jib. Wait a second. He feels different, too.] Geez, aren't they bored of this already?

[avatarsokka.livejournal.com]

[And she's way too short.]

They made you younger.

Keywords~

[barefoot-bender.livejournal.com]

No, they made you older. [Turning around to raise an eyebrow at him.] Lemme guess- You've always been the way you are.

[avatarsokka.livejournal.com]

Not older. [A groan.] They brought me back to the wrong Luceti.

[barefoot-bender.livejournal.com]

Uh huh. Right.

At least you don't have boobs this time? [Smirking.]

[avatarsokka.livejournal.com]

[Okay... what. That just throws him off guard.]

The heck are you talking about? [Sorry, he doesn't remember that.]

[barefoot-bender.livejournal.com]

[Laughing out loud now. This was rich.] You don't remember?! haha.

I'll tell you when you're back to normal.

[avatarsokka.livejournal.com]

[He's not amused, Toph. He likes you better when you're older. Although now that he's remembering his last time here...]

You can't see, can you?

[barefoot-bender.livejournal.com]

Of course I can't. [She decides to face him, showing her eyes. The look on her face clearly says "Are you stupid?"]

[avatarsokka.livejournal.com]

[That gets a frown. Not just because of the snark, because... frankly, this is weird.]

Sorry. It's been awhile since I've been in this Luceti. It's taking me awhile to remember it all.

[barefoot-bender.livejournal.com]

[So, it was kind of like when he was a girl, then.] Ok then, I guess I'll believe you.

So what makes your Luceti so different? Beside you sounding buffer, of course.

[avatarsokka.livejournal.com]

For starters? The Toph that was in my Luceti was from my world. [Older, hotter, and she could see.] But it's been awhile since I've been there anyway.

[barefoot-bender.livejournal.com]

And older? [Since he called her "Younger"] And if you had to ask..... apparently she can see. [A note of curiosity in her voice.]

[avatarsokka.livejournal.com]

You're two for two so far. One of the best earthbenders I've ever met too.

[There's that lack of being definitively the best. But the Earth King? The help he hired is downright scary.]

[barefoot-bender.livejournal.com]

[That lack? She's irked by it.] I'm the best, period.

[avatarsokka.livejournal.com]

No offense, Short Toph, but I've seen better. [He might have met the other Toph, but he never actually got to see her in action.]

[barefoot-bender.livejournal.com]

[...... Ok, now it's a matter of pride.] Rightttt. Sure you have. I invented metalbending.

[avatarsokka.livejournal.com]

... there's no such thing, Toph.

[barefoot-bender.livejournal.com]

Wanna bet? [pulling off her metal bracelet, the one the real Sokka game her and-

bending it. Into various shapes.]

[avatarsokka.livejournal.com]

[Not impressed.]

That's not even real metal. Let me see it. [Holding out his hand.]

[barefoot-bender.livejournal.com]

[bending it back into a bracelet and handing it to him with a smirk. This should be amusing.] You gave it to me yourself, you know.

[avatarsokka.livejournal.com]

The other Sokka did. [He takes it and... well, trying to manipulate it does nothing.] What the... [Trying again... nothing.] This really is metal.

[barefoot-bender.livejournal.com]

Duh. [Just... smirking smugly.] And believe it or not? I can do it best because I'm blind.

[Ok, now she's just boasting.] Not even Twinkletoes can do it!

[avatarsokka.livejournal.com]

[... that's just ridiculous. He holds it back out for her.]

Okay, fine. You're good. But what are you, ten? One neat trick doesn't make you a great bender.
