markofthewise | Sokka the 54th

[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.]

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

[Suki steps into the house and spots Katara, grimacing at once. She really hadn't wanted to give any bad news- it'd been a pretty good day, after all. But Katara has to find out somehow.]

Katara...

[Fortunately, Suki doesn't really have to say anything. The fact that she's carrying Sokka's boomerang and sword... that speaks loudly enough.

Katara glances up when someone comes in, her friendly greeting dying on her lips when she sees what Suki is carrying.]

What - oh no.

[She comes quickly out from behind the counter to reach for her brother's boomerang.] No.

[Suki just shakes her head, cradling the sword a little more as Katara takes the other weapon.]

I'm sorry, Katara...

[Katara glances up at that, swift and furious, her eyes bright with unshed tears.] Don't say that. This wasn't your fault. It wasn't anyone's but the Malnosso's.

[And suddenly a horrible thought.]

You're sure it was them? You didn't see any signs that made it look like anyone else took him?

I didn't see any. Who else could have done it...? [Are there more dangerous people she doesn't know about?]

I don't know. [Katara looks down, her brow furrowing. Suki was at least as good a tracker as she was, if not better, and if she hadn't seen anything.

Aku was gone. Hazama was gone. Who else would have taken Sokka? Kidnapping wasn't Yuber's style. But...

Her hands tighten on the sharp edge of the boomerang, the angle the only thing that saves her from slicing through skin.]

[Suki notices this, reaching out to touch Katara's hand.] They'll bring him back. They always do, right? So we'll see him soon.
