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, 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.

[barefoot-bender.livejournal.com]

[Taking it back and slipping it on her arm.]

I'm Twelve. [What are you, blind?] And if you really want to see how great I am, why don't you find out yourself?

[avatarsokka.livejournal.com]

[Oh, this should be rich. He should be able to handle her, easy.]

Oh, you're on. Let's see what you can do. [Heading outside now.]

[barefoot-bender.livejournal.com]

[Uh huh. That's what he thinks.]

Rightttt. [Following him out, oh, and don't mind that pile of dirt in the front yard, there. Covering a boulder she'd rather was hidden.]

[avatarsokka.livejournal.com]

[Oh Toph, you don't yet realize he can bend, do you? It's not too hard to figure out what's under that dirt. It earns a snicker as he spots it, but he turns his attention back to her.]

Okay, how about you get started.

[barefoot-bender.livejournal.com]

Any requests? [Still smirking.]

Oh, wait. I forgot. You can't bend, can you, Snoozles? So how would you know?

[avatarsokka.livejournal.com]

[Other Sokka? This is for you, buddy.]

Can't I? [He suddenly slides on foot forward, the other to the side, his arms moving into a stance. The ground below him suddenly shoots up into a platform several dozen feet high. Feeling better about that, he flops down and lets his feet dangle over the edge.]

Now that I have a good seat, how about you make something up?

[barefoot-bender.livejournal.com]

[.....What.]

2/4

[barefoot-bender.livejournal.com]

[Oh you little-]

3/4

[barefoot-bender.livejournal.com]

[Bending up an identical platform, rising so they're at an equal eyelevel. Like heck you're pulling that on her.]

[barefoot-bender.livejournal.com]

[And poking you in the chest, buster.] What the heck was that?!

[avatarsokka.livejournal.com]

[He smirks and shrugs.]

I figured a big shot like you would recognize what earth bending looks like.
