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.]

Lucky him.

Yeah... I guess that is lucky. [It's easy to not see it that way though.]

Unless home is bad?

No no! Home is great. He's lucky to be there.

But I get it -- I mean, you probably miss him.

Yeah... he was kind of my little buddy. Things are pretty boring without him around.

Here? Boring? Well, he must be the life of the party, then...if he can make here seem dull.

Between the parts where weird and horrible things happen? Yeah. Boring.

I guess...yeah, that's a fairly accurate enough diagnosis.

I'm starting to think if I end up here for another year, I might start looking forward to experiments.

You can't really mean that.

Well we're not bored.

No, just...in horrendous amounts of danger instead.

Exciting danger, at least.

The kind of exciting that gets people killed.

Well... okay, yeah. But I don't know anyone that died from an experiment.

I know someone who killed because of one -- same difference?

[There's a pause as he considers that. A worried one as he recalls the last experiment.]

... was it someone I know?

[ well this conversation went south very very quickly. still... ]

He's not here anymore. [ so, yes. possibly. ]

[Well, she may not want this to get out, so. Up goes a filter.]

Was it Giles? [Because Giles was out to kill when Sokka fought him. If someone else had? Well...]

Edited 2011-01-15 19:37 (UTC)

Yeah. Yeah, it was. He nearly full-out drained one victim and went the whole way with another.

[ the flip nonchalance is entirely gone from her voice. ] Thanks for the filter.

... I'm sorry. [For more reasons than one. If he had paid attention to you, maybe he could have stopped Giles before he could find victims.]

[ unfortunately, she doesn't catch the second reason. giles never told her about the fight with sokka. ]

Two others from my home went vamp, that experiment. Giles is the only one that killed, though.

I hope the Malnosso got some real good data out of that.

[But there's no excusing that. It's bad enough to trap them in with murderous psychopaths, but to turn good people evil? That's just going too far.]

I'll be a happy little camper if we don't have an experiment of that caliber for a good, long time. Or ever.
