Sokka the 52nd - [Action/Voice]
Hard to believe it's December here again. Looks like the snow is letting up from the snowstorm yesterday. [It was snowing... just like, a year ago.]
[Filtered to Winry]
Hey, I've got something for you. Drop by my house later, okay?
[Today is his one year anniversary in Luceti. It's not exactly something to be happy about, as far as he's concerned. The only bright spot is him dwelling on the future he heard about from his 'future sister'. It's nice knowing that, eventually, he will get back home and have the kind of life he's been looking forward to. On the other hand, he can't help but wonder at the future painted by Xion. He never found out what his future was like for her... but he had a feeling he was in it. And the idea of being in Luceti after that long was just disturbing.
So it's with these thoughts that Sokka is busy hauling his canoes back to his house from the river bank, preparing them for winter storage where they won't get too damaged. Even though he could take them out for ice fishing, there's no point in damaging them. Once he's finished up with that, he decides to just take a walk around town. He's mostly taking note of how much has changed... or hasn't. In particular, he stops in front of House 2 and watches it a bit. He knows someone lives there. But he wonders if the walls are still purple from when he painted them. He thinks back to the party he had there with Toph. Some of the first people he ever talked to were gone now. Nash, Mayoi... and a lot more since he first arrived. After making some other stops at places that used to be important to him, mostly due to their old occupants, he heads on home.
... or at least that was the plan. He detours into the woods, to go hunting again after a month of not doing so. It's late in the season and there isn't much game to be had, but this is what he would be doing if he was home, in the South Pole, where he belonged. So he'll be taking his dinner under the tree canopy, slowly cooking a rabbit he brought down. Sure, Katara is probably making something tastier for dinner, but this... this feels more right. He'll make it back home before Zuko and the girls have time to start worrying.]

Because it's what I would do if I were home and not in Luceti.

[You're acting really weird.]

[There it is. The problem right there.]

...sorry, you don't get a choice.]

That future you were from... do you think it was real? Or at least, the one we will have?

I think that paying too close attention to anything that they do to us and looking at it to be true is a good way to drive yourself crazy.
no subject
[He has friends here. He has you and the others here. But he doesn't want to spend his life here, even if the Malnosso did leave them alone.]
It just makes me wonder at what point of being here so long, that choosing to stay or go doesn't have an immediate answer.
no subject
...we've both got good friends here that we'll miss a lot in our world if we remember them, but that doesn't change the fact that this world is not our home. That the scientists who keep us here are wrong, and are using us to do things that are wrong. The war might be over for you, Sokka, but it isn't over for me. I still have to go home.
As much as we ever have a choice here - that's what I choose to do.

Sorry for missing dinner.

This isn't something she can fix. She hates this.]
...You'll work it out.

[What, like she won't take advantage of this? Chores are meant to be shared.]

[Not that he's all that worried about Suki being worried. He knows that she has absolute confidence in Sokka. She would never worry about him.]
