markofthewise | Sokka the 56th

[Sokka woke up feeling a little odd, as most people have this event. Looser clothing, his hair practically unmanageable, and everything seeming just a little bit bigger. As he stumbles his way to the bathroom, he also can't help but feel something is missing. It becomes all to obvious what when he take care of his morning business with the throne of porcelain. After some yelling and flailing, Sokka soon discovers an all too familiar face in the mirror. One that most certainly is not his.

After this initial shock, it takes Sokka awhile to work up the nerve to break into his girlfriend's room and steal some of her clothes. Maybe it's a good thing she's not here, because she would KILL HIM. Even if he's doing his best not to look. After initially putting his hair into a typical wolf tail, he decides it's definitely not the right look for this body and stumbles through putting it up how it's supposed to be.

Eventually he works up the nerve to just... leave. No one knows Suki is kidnapped, right? Well, not many people. Maybe he can get away with just pretending to be Suki and avoid having the inevitably mockery of having been turned into a girl. Oh yes, this plan is flawless. Before heading out, he catches Raine's school announcement, prompting a response of:]

No school? Thank goodness! Wasn't going to go anyway.

[Oops, didn't mean to record that. But he takes off, to do some of his normal stuff. Drop by the smithy (he'll sadly have to explain things to Winry and Edward), pick up food at the store, and maaaaybe swing by the clothing store and pick up some girly clothing so he doesn't have to run around in Suki's stuff. He's dressed in Suki's typical Earth Kingdom apparel, although he does curiously have his sword and boomerang in addition to a pair of fans at his side. And of course, the ever ubiquitous bag of holding that on his new body, looks more like an oversized purse. Yeah, this plan? It cannot fail.]

[ at the clatter, anne turns with surprise and an apology is fast to her lips. ] Oh, my goodness. I am ever so sorry.

[ she takes a demure step backwards. be gracious. gentle. not precocious like you normally are, anne. ]

It's fine. [She opens the fan, inspecting it to see if it got torn, then slides it back into place.] You might want to find something better for the weather.

I do hope I did not break anything. [ she strains to keep the rougher, island contractions out of her voice. ] And -- I was actually here in hopes of finding a nice cloak. Velvet, I think.

Looks like it's in one piece. [Not anyone she recognizes here, but that means nothing today.] What you need is a coat. And something less... less. [He says as he gestures to the long, long gown.]

Less...?

[ she looks concerned. she had hoped this dress would be perfect. striking, elegant, worthy of a kidnapped lady returned to glory. but now she is beginning to doubt herself. ]

Nevermind. [It's no use getting into this and making his Suki look like anything but the wonderful, nice person she is. Besides, this girl looks like she might be upset now.] It's... nice.

[ her face breaks out into a smile. ] Thank you, miss. [ a light curtsy before she realizes -- oh, wait! she shouldn't be curtsying. she's a lady. ]

You also look quite nice.

... thanks? [He has no idea how to respond to that. Since it's not really his own appearance being complimented.] It's not much. [Except about an hour of work to match what Suki does in ten minutes. Makeup is hard! And so is this much hair. And women's clothing.]

[ try lacing yourself into a medieval dress without any help. tough. ]

Some people believe that less is more.

[Obviously not you.]

Right. You new around here?

I have been here for a few months. Would you call this new?

Not really. I've been here over a ye- [Oh wait, Suki has only been around...] five months.

Two more than me.

[ with a small smile: ] A pleasure to meet you. I'm Lady Cordelia de Montmorency.

Suki Th- [Oh wait, Suki Thunderaxe isn't her name ~~yet~~.] Just Suki. Nice to meet you. I guess you're... important where you're from?

I suppose I might have been. I'm afraid my title is just only that -- a title. It means little after being raised by gypsies.

Gypsies? [He has this horrible feeling he may have said something he'll regret.]

A beautiful and nomadic people.

Oh. Nomads. [he says this with a hint of past annoyance. Earth Kingdom nomads are the worst.]

It cannot be denied that they know how to dance. That is how I learned the art.

Yeah, that's great. Uh, I need to go to the clothing store. Pick up some stuff. [And spare myself from what sounds like a boring story.]
