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.]

Comments

[markofthewise]

No, even if you're not clueless, it can still kill you. Trust me.

[doubleppk]

Che~

I disagree.

[But then, this is the woman who went camping in a freaking tent in subzero temperatures in the Mount Fuji range just to try to find some wolves.]

[markofthewise]

Look, unless you've got some kind of special not-freezing magic, a blizzard is deadly.

[doubleppk]

Only if you're completley unprepared. And as you're already warning everyone to get supplies; no excuses.

[markofthewise]

I think you're missing the- [Oh forget about it.] There's still the problem of New Feathers.

[doubleppk]

Oh shoot. I did forget about them.

THE MALNOSSO ARE MEAN!

[markofthewise]

I showed up in December. They dropped me inside a house. With my clothes under me as a pillow when I was asleep. Pretty thoughtful, really. Maybe they just like me?

[doubleppk]

Oh. Then maybe they only put people outside when the weather's nice?

[markofthewise]

Nope. They dumped a lot of my friends out in the snow, no shoes on, and we had to go find them.

[doubleppk]

Ouch. Painful. I guess they did like you more.

[markofthewise]

Yeah! One year, never been kidnapped. Well, there was one time, but I was rescued the next day. And they gave me some neat powers. Yup. One of them even said as much, about the whole liking me thing.

[If only Sokka knew what would happen to him today...]

[doubleppk]

They even said they like you? Wait, you talked with them?

[Poor poor Sokka...]

[markofthewise]

Yeah. And it wasn't even Catherine who said it.

[doubleppk]

You must be charmed then.

Or they're good liars.

[markofthewise]

Oh, yeah, definitely have to be good liars. I don't trust any of them. [But hey, if liars want to stroke his ego? They can line right up.]

[doubleppk]

[Oh then Fujiko should start. She'd be amazing at it.]

Given what they do, it'd be pretty dumb to and you strike me as far smarter than that.

[markofthewise]

[Couldn't hurt. :|a]

Yeah, I get that a lot.

[doubleppk]

Somehow I am not surprised.

[markofthewise]

And yet I get criticism anyway! Go figure.

[doubleppk]

Criticism? What for?

[markofthewise]

Who can say? They just come up with it out of nowhere. [Or maybe he does stupid stuff and deserves all of it.]

[doubleppk]

That's weird. Is it people you know?

[markofthewise]

... yeah, people I know. Usually. [Usually the people who know him WELL.]

[doubleppk]

Sounds like Jigen and Goemon then. Maybe they're just teasing.

[markofthewise]

Always a possibility! Are those your friends?
