markofthewise | Sokka the 55th

[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.]

It might not all be happiness and rainbows -- maybe you would have looked better before the shave.

[ sob buffy why you gotta tease the ones you actually kinda get along with. ]

Normally I'd agree, but Suki prefers me without a beard.

[He CANNOT be teased. Sorry Buffy.]

[ with some laughter: ] Love makes you do the wacky.

Yeah, but eventually, I'll win her over with some well trimmed facial hair.

Just be sure to avoid the handlebar. It's way tacky.

I don't mustaches are for me. [Or anyone, really. Although in his current state, he'd say any mustache looks great.]

Or anyone. [ she unknowingly echoes his...brackets. ]

I think my friend Haru really pulled it off. [He didn't.]

Was your friend Haru a cowboy?

No no, just a regular boy. Earthbender. I don't think animals do mustaches.

No, no..uhm -- cowboys? Aren't animals.

Oh. That does make more sense, huh?

Cowboys. They, uh, ride horses? And wear cowboy hats. And eat beans.

Okay okay... so how does the cow fit in?

Oh, uhm...I think maybe they herd them?

Okay, right. No, Haru wasn't anything like that. Small village kid, kind of like me. Really good guy.

Oh, I'm sure he was -- despite the facial hair.

His dad had a huge beard. But maybe he only grew the beard because he was in prison. I never asked.

I do tend to hear that prison inspires beards.

[ she doesn't even know. now she's just playing along because you're possibly insane, sokka. ]

My dad was in prison too! But only for like, a day. And he already has a beard.

[ she doesn't want to insult your dad, so: ] It probably doesn't count as gross when you live in a snowy place and grow a beard. You need that -- face warmage.

Well he'd been in the Earth Kingdom for the last two years, fighting off the Fire Nation. [So did he need it? No.] It's the kind of beard I'd go for, I think.

... although I liked what my Avatar self had too.

It was...well, younger me never did have good taste. [ which suggests two things. one, seventeen year old buffy liked the facial hair. two, twenty-four year old buffy didn't. ]

Younger you was very pretty. My Avatar self liked her a lot. A whole lot... he was going to take her home and have his way with her, but it didn't work out.

[He says this with utter nonchalance, in the same kind of tone like if that Sokka had been planning to show her his rock collection.]

O-okay. How about a little work on them there social boundaries, Sokka?
