Sokka the 53rd - [Action/Voice]

[markofthewise]

[Sokka is still out at the ocean, only with the Gaang and those Ferines ladies. It's a bit cold, but hell, it's the ocean and camping out in front of it is pretty awesome. Good thing he came crazy prepared for it. Except for, you know, a boat. So much for seafood. If for some reason you're in that vicinity, feel free to pester him. But as he gets a chance, he opens up the journal for catch up with people on the other side of the mountains.]

Well the ocean isn't going anywhere, I don't think. But it's not getting any bigger, so I guess Luceti won't be flooding. Good news? Now I just- [A lemur suddenly crowds the screen and Sokka has to shoo him off.] NO! Momo, the journal isn't for sitting on.

Yeesh.

Anyway! Now I just have some of my canoes over here... I wonder if that teleporter-building guy can get a new one out here or something? Or maybe if there was a railway over the mountains... or in the tunnels! Too bad there's no airships around here, that would make things easier. If Appa was still around, the trip back would be a lot easier...

So... how's things? Back in the village and stuff.

Yeah. Remember how we had a desert? It's an ocean now. A big, blue ocean.

[Voice]

[wise_maiden]

That's not funny, Sokka.

[Video]

[markofthewise]

[Uh huh, yeah. He spins the journal around, so she can see the ocean for herself.]

[...........................

Really. There aren't enough "...s" in the world.]

W-what? Why?

[Voice]

[markofthewise]

[Now back to Sokka.]

Why not? It's great! I mean, sure, we can't do anything with it without some bigger boats, but just think! There could be fish out there. Delicious, juicy fish!

[Voice]

[wise_maiden]

It wasn't supposed to get in at all!

[Voice]

[markofthewise]

Yeah, that's kind of weird, isn't it? But it's not like Mr. Catherine is a picture of reliability, am I right?

[Voice]

[wise_maiden]

No, but ---

[............]

Sokka. The entire desert is under the water?!

[Voice]

[markofthewise]

Most of it. The desert fort didn't get submerged, at least. That was pretty lucky, actually. It will probably need a new name, though...

[Voice]

[wise_maiden]

I don't care about the fort's name! What about the ruins?

[Voice]

[markofthewise]

Yeeeeah, those are probably underwater. It's all ocean on the horizon.

[Voice]

[wise_maiden]

Unbelievable! Bring me the one responsible for this at once!

[Voice]

[markofthewise]

... what?

[how does she expect him to do that!]

[Voice]

[wise_maiden]

[It's okay, Sokka, she's barely even talking to you anymore.]

... of all the things... how could this even happen?

[Voice]

[markofthewise]

I figure that whatever you guys did, it was only just enough to stop the tsunamis, but didn't keep the water from leaking through anyway. So... we got an ocean instead. Although given how flat the desert was, someone must have had to move the ground around somehow...

[Voice]

[wise_maiden]

Probably shifted the land to support the water's entry so that the village wasn't affected... but there's still so much.

[Voice]

[markofthewise]

Well what good is an ocean without some room to sail around on? Although if we do and run into the barrier, that could be a problem.

[Voice]

[wise_maiden]

If you're going too fast, you could destroy your boat. Then where will that leave you? In the water! If you survive the trip to begin with.

[Voice]

[markofthewise]

Exactly. Someone will need to map out where the barrier is and set up a system where people can see where it is.

[Voice]

[wise_maiden]

It sounds like a lot of trouble to me.

[Voice]

[markofthewise]

Yeah, but worth it! Not like we all have important day jobs here anyway, am I right?

[Voice]

[wise_maiden]

But it's the winter.

[Voice]

[markofthewise]

Yeah. Exactly. We can get all the work out of the way before spring kicks in and lots of people want to go out on the ocean.

[Voice]

[wise_maiden]

So you're just going to stay out there... the entire winter.

[Voice]

[markofthewise]

What, are you kidding? I'm going home soon! It's cold out here!
