Sokka the 54th - [Voice/Action]

[markofthewise]

[Sokka's day will involve a few things. One of them won't include shoveling all the snow out of the way of his house. It's not that he's lazy, but when his sister can take care of that in less than a minute, why even bother? Later his day will involve working on important things at the smithy, like the metal casing for a certain teleporter. And maybe some weapons or the key-shaped variety. Or helping New Feathers find their weapons so they can go about being dangerous. He'll also do lunch in the plaza... maybe do some shopping.

But why dwell on the bad parts? Before his kidnapping, Sokka is available for running into. Also, in light of the fact the snow is coming down pretty hardcore today and is, frankly, almost a blizzard, he feels inclined to make a voice post in the middle of the day.]

You know, we had that big blizzard about the same time last year. Well, not big big. I've seen bigger. But we had a lot of people get stranded out in that stuff. Actually, I met a lot of people being stranded at the Straw Hat's place... Uh, anyway. Yeah, blizzards. Bad stuff. Better make sure you got a lot of food at home, just in case.

[Hours later, on his way home, he'll meet some delightful metal men who will proceed to knock him out and drag him off, being nice enough to leave his sword and boomerang in the snow.]

Maybe they should grab a shovel for good measure.

[You know, on the off chance they get snowed in.]

[voice]

[markofthewise]

A big one.

[Although really. How many people in Luceti even need a shovel?]

[Voice / Action]

[kyoshi]

A blizzard? I've never seen one before. Is it really that-

[And here she trails off, because while she's walking along on her way home, she spots a familiar glint in the snow. Sure enough, it's Sokka's sword and boomerang; anyone who knows Sokka knows he wouldn't just leave them lying there. So that means...

...again?

With a pensive look and a silent sigh, Suki crouches down, collecting his gear and continuing home to deliver the bad news.]

[Katara's just prepping dinner, like every other day, unaware of the anvil about to drop on her head.]

Now that I know this place better I could easily get food for those who need it if one does come. I'm more concerned that New Feathers arrived even during that. [She should know, since she was one of them.]

[Voice]

[markofthewise]

[Oh, you teleporters!]

Yeah, didn't you show up in the middle of that blizzard?

[count-gardios.livejournal.com]

That's good advice. I should stock up.

[markofthewise]

It does beat trekking through a blizzard if you get hungry. But hey! At least this year, we have electric heat!

[no-use-running.livejournal.com]

Blizzards should be alright as long as we're prepared. I heard about a welcome center. Can we use it to gather and distribute supplies, too?

[markofthewise]

While it couldn't hurt, it's better if people are just responsible enough to be ready on their own. [You know... like it is at home.]

[Voice]

[eidolon-soul.livejournal.com]

All the more reason to stock up at the Welcome Center, then. I hope it doesn't happen while the cycle's still in progress, but I wouldn't put it past this place.

[Voice]

[markofthewise]

Well, it did last time. So if the Malnosso control the weather, I don't think they really care.

[doubleppk]

Walking through snow's not that bad.

[markofthewise]

No, but walking through a lot of it can kill you.

[voice]

[herotypical]

Yes. Definitely bad stuff. I don't know how you manage living somewhere with perma-snow.

[voice]

[markofthewise]

It's just how it was. I used to have a hard time imagining places where it never snowed.

[falenandawn]

Stranded....?!

[markofthewise]

Yeah. Stuck out in the snow... or just in your home. Enough snow could even block your doors and windows...

[Voice]

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

Blizzards are starting to get really overrated here.

But hey, you're...Thunderaxe, right? [Taichi's done some research and after listening to Jack Sparrow, he's deducted that Sokka is indeed the guy he needs to talk to.] The guy from the smithy.

[Voice]

[markofthewise]

Really? We've only had one so far and it wasn't as bad as the ones back home.

That's me! Or you can call me Sokka.

[Voice]

[allbluebreasts.livejournal.com]

... It really has been a year.

[Voice]

[markofthewise]

Time sure flies when you're stuck in another world being experimented on, huh?

[Filtered | voice]

[book-of-chaos.livejournal.com]

Hey-- Sokka. Have you been able to work on the teleporter? [a pause, followed by a reluctant:] The CMD containers?

[Filtered | voice]

[markofthewise]

[Now why is this filtered...]

As a matter of fact, yes! It's getting pretty heavy, but it's nothing I can't handle. [Until he comes back from his kidnapping anyway.] But it will definitely be able to transport more than the old one.

[ Xion will turn up at the smithy, as promised, sometime in the middle of the afternoon. While still looking a little tired -- she's got a lot of lost sleep to catch up on -- she seems considerably less miserable, regardless.

She'll wander on in, glancing around for him. ] Sokka?

[markofthewise]

[He's not in the weapon display area... not initially, anyway. He'll walk by carrying a particularly heavy piece of metal at his side, obscuring his vision of her. He's taking it back to the forge... until he hears his name. He lowers it enough for two eyes to glance over.]

Eh?
