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.

Would you feel better if I asked them? I could. [But they're your friends, aren't they 8|]

[Action]

[markofthewise]

What? No! Don't do that! I can ask them, really. [A quick, dismissive wave.] It's fine!

[Action]

[kyoshi]

If you say so. [Though why Sokka's making a big fuss out of it, she can't understand. It's just a question, after all.]

[Action]

[markofthewise]

... anyway. [Turning to the ocean again.] This is going to be nice when it's warm enough to swim.

[Action]

[kyoshi]

[Hmmmmmm. You're off the hook for now 8|] That's for sure. I missed the ocean, too, and this beach is beautiful.

[Action]

[markofthewise]

[Because he's a ~smooth criminal~]

Think there's any big sea monsters in there?

[Action]

[kyoshi]

I'm not sure. Wouldn't that be bad for the Malnosso? If people started getting eaten by it or something...

[Action]

[markofthewise]

Well they've got bears here. And wolves. And giant wolves. They're not that concerned for our safety.

[Action]

[kyoshi]

Oh, that's true, too... well, if they have to have monsters, I hope they're not really aggressive. Otherwise no one can go sailing.

[Action]

[markofthewise]

Unless we fight them. [Okay so maybe Luceti has had a slight effect in the scale of what Sokka thinks they can handle.]

[Action]

[kyoshi]

...I didn't see you jumping up to fight the Unagi or the monster in the Serpent's Pass.

[Action]

[markofthewise]

I wasn't properly prepared for either encounter. Taking down something big like that takes planning and the right equipment. I can't just go kill one with a sword.

[Action]

[kyoshi]

I don't know what kind of equipment you can get out there on the water... though now I'm curious.

[Action]

[markofthewise]

Well we'd need a big boat! With cannons, of course. Some automatic harpoons. It would need to be durable... after all, we saw that Serpent snap a Fire Nation ship in two.

Of course, we could just grab some of the people here with special powers and stuff. That might make it too easy.

[Action]

[kyoshi]

I guess it depends on what you're looking for- a challenge, or safer waters. You could have both, but it would just take longer.

[Action]

[markofthewise]

Yeah, yeah. I guess.

[Shrugging anyway.]

Someone will take care of it eventually. I'll just settle for getting my canoes out here.

[Action]

[kyoshi]

We don't even know if 'it' exists. [So amused.] There's trees on the mountain here, so why not just make canoes on this side instead?

[Action]

[markofthewise]

[IT HAS TO EXIST. Maybe. It's Luceti, things are never easy, okay?]

Because I don't have to! See, I talked to this guy, Leon or something. He's going to make a second teleporter that will go to the beach. Only this one will be big enough to fit a lot more stuff. Of course, it does mean I have to work on most of the material, but...

[Action]

[kyoshi]

Are those teleporters... safe? [Kind of wary here. Handling technology, one step at a time...]

[Action]

[markofthewise]

We got here in one piece, didn't we? Besides! I've messed around with it plenty of times! [Of course, this is Sokka. He always trusts technology first.]

[Action]

[kyoshi]

So you'll be the first to grow an extra head, then? [Because making light of things totally makes them less scary... eh heh...]

[Action]

[markofthewise]

I'm not sure how that could happen, but two heads are better than one...

[Now he's pondering how cool that could be.]

[Action]

[kyoshi]

[Sokka, seriously. You can't be thinking about this.]

[Action]

[markofthewise]

I wonder if the other head would look like me...

[brb, he's having a JD cutaway moment as he imagines this...]
