markofthewise | Sokka the 51st

[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.))

[It's not awkward for him so much as a dead end. At least he has another date lined up later. He finishes off his plate.]

That was great, Winry. Thanks.

You're very welcome. Anytime, Sokka.

Here, I can help with that. [He stands, taking his own dishes to the sink. He could even wash them. With bending.]

A guy who willingly does dishes? Impressive.

[He smirks as he starts to fill the sink.]

Well it's the least I can do, right?

I don't know, there could be other ways you could repay me.

[After adding some soap and filling the sink, he doesn't put his hands in the water, he instead starts to control the water from above by placing his hands on the surface. Underneath the bubbles it doesn't look like much is going on, but the water is in fact moving with jet power than a dishwasher would.]

And how would I do that?

Let's see, what would a girl usually do with a man like you...?

[Oh he knows where this is going. He keeps focused on the task, but glances over at her.]

Oh, quite a bit.

I suppose I could ask you to chop some firewood for me, but Al has that covered...

I could always try to impress you.

[He streams some water out of the sink, moving it over to a bare spot on the counter. With a little manipulation, he freezes it and adjusts the shape until... there we go, it's frozen statue of Winry.]

Like so?

Oh! I didn't know you could do that much with it!

I could make you something more permanent with rock, but I'm not quite an Earthbending master just yet.

[Toph on the other hand... well that's just impressive.]

No, this - it's beautiful. I'm pretty sure rock wouldn't quite be the same.

It's just too bad I don't think it'll last long, even outside.

[He can always make more, but he knows he isn't going to be around here forever.]

I could always take a picture?

A picture? [It's been awhile and he's forgotten how versatile journals are.]

Yeah, hold on!

With this.

Ah, right! [He'd forgotten about that, so he steps out of the way.]

By all means, hurry while the ice is still cold.

I'll find a frame for it later.

[You know what... that makes him smile, just a bit.]

So you'll have something to remember me by, even after I'm replaced with the other me.

Even if I didn't, you're not someone easily forgotten.

How about you autograph this for me?

[He grins.]

Sure. [He takes the picture and finding a nearby pen, which isn't too hard, he signs it: 索卡. Naturally, of course, Winry will be able to read that anyway, because... Luceti.] Heh, I used to do a lot more of these... [The war kind of quelled his fanbase.]
