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.]

It was my best friend last time. [So yeah. Complete stranger is probably better.]

So better or worse than a psychopath who wants to kill you?

I'll just settle for some pretty girl I don't know who will probably get sent home the next month.

That's kind of a dire outlook. But...fair.

You wouldn't have it any different, right? Except, you know, with a guy.

I personally think it'd be way more awkward with a complete stranger -- though, still better than my last year. And...yeah. With a guy.

[ still confused about andrew's declarations of her future lesbianism. ]

Oh yeah? How bad was last year?

[ well, this is filtered. so: ] Tell me, Sokka. Have you had the misfortune to meet Kadaj, yet?

Uh, yeah. Only once. It was during an experiment. He was testing my furniture. [And Sokka kind of took advantage of that.]

I met him that time, too. And then unfortunately I kept meeting him.

... and met him for Dragobete too?

[Oh Buffy, he is so, so, so sorry.]

A whole new definition for lovers' spat.

Well at least he was sent home.

Exactly. Was sent home. Emphasis on the past tense.

Yeeeeah, one of those events best forgotten. Forever.

Until it rolls around again.

... they could always decide not to do it this year.

That would be a relief.

Although I am starting to notice a pattern, now that New Feathers are coming back...

...Pattern? What kind of pattern?

Well, it looks like every other month is New Feathers, now? And that leaves one whole month without them. And usually on those months, something big happens. Like all that stuff that happened on Halloween... or all that stuff from the end of November. It's not a perfect pattern, but they do like to wait for new people to settle in before the experiments, right?

A tweak on the old pattern, yeah.

... which means that there's a whole month for them to make us fall in love again.

...A whole month of love?

... well, I didn't mean the ENTIRE month! [But what if they did do a whole month!?]
