Sokka the 55th - [Action/Voice]

[This Lucetian has been returned from the Malnosso, after not too long a stay with them. He's kind of bruised up and is leaning on his left leg a bit much. But you'd never notice it from that kick in his step. With a big grin on his face, he's walking from the north end of the plaza on his way home, looking all around him at all the snow the recent snow storm left. And those icicles hanging on the trees! Beautiful! What a winter wonder land he's found!

And look, is that a stray squirrel in his path? Sokka will happily say hello to it until it runs away on twitch reflex. Oh well, that squirrel had important things to do! And that stray cat. And that deer. And that bird and- oh, he must be in the woods. Time to go back to the village. You know what? Despite not feeling all that well, after he gets to House 56 and informs his sister and girlfriend and that wonderful old chap from the Fire Nation he's home, he's got other places to visit. He has to let his friends know he's home. All his friends. Like his smithy buddies. His Straw Hat friends. People he's met randomly at the smithy when they go work orders. Xion, of course requires a visit. He doesn't exactly know where Frey lives these days, but darnit if he isn't going to work out and drop in on him too. He doesn't exactly feel bad about his argument with Haruhi. It was all a silly misunderstanding. So he'll just drop in on her too. And his teachers and, oh, did he ever find out about Regal's proposal? And then there's the pirate the slayer and other friends and... yeah, catching up with everybody is kind of an all day thing. He'll drag himself home that night.

Oh, but fortunately before he arrives at home, he does leave a voice message for everyone.]


Man, everyone says those Malnosso people are real jerks. I don't know what they're talking about. The dropped me off near town, gave me my clothes back - with all the holes I put in it stitched back, thank you very much, and were even nice enough to make sure I was clean shaven before dropped here. These are good people, am I right? Right? Right?

((ooc: If not completely obvious, the Malnosso have returned Sokka from his kidnapping lacking in ANY kind of negativity. There is no downside to ANYTHING. He is perpetually happy. He still, of course, loves his jokes and sarcasm. But he's happy, happy, happy. He's having a wonderful time! This will last until... well, however long it takes for Sokka's happiness to make me start vomiting.]

"AH, gentlemen, what's this? An eye-eater? I've a cure for that!" And the crone reached clear through Jones's bones and pulled out his throbbing article. It were black and tar-covered, much like the marshmallow you leave in the fire five seconds too long.

This she ate, promptly, commenting wantonly that it were a tad sweet for her liking.

Then, in its stead, she did embed a big red healthy glowing heart of happiness and love, with ventricles like a cherub's bottom.

I'd like to see it that way.

And when he awoke, hours later on the pitching ship, slippery with dripping gore, that strapping eye-eating Slahafferson-Jones looked about in wonder! The world were bright and new and shiny and clean! And in gratitude for the cleanliness and brightness of it all, Happy McSlappy Slahafferson-Jones went out, and went forth, and loved. Whether people wanted it or not. A giant doe-eyed bastard what formerly ate men's eyes for want of anything better to occupy himself with.

Good cop, bad cop.

Does it really look like that right now?

I'll take a look, then.

Right.

[A small laugh, friendly. She returns a few minutes later and tells the tactful lie.]

It was very pretty.

[...that's not the impression he got when he learned about the Malnosso]

That sounds too good to be true.

It's derived from cops using a strategy where there are two cops interrogating a suspect and one of them plays a 'good cop' and is nicely talking to the suspect while the other one slams the table, is extremely irritated and mean, and plays the 'bad cop'. This strategy makes the suspect more willing to talk because he'll be constantly soothed by the good cop and at times will eventually cave into confessing things to the good cop.

Now, what I meant was that perhaps the people you've met are the 'good cops'. Got it?

But I'd miss Spring, and Summer, and Fall, too.

Do you mean in general or in terms of the Malnosso?
