Sokka the 56th - [Voice/Action]

[markofthewise]

[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.]

["Sh--?"] You're a leader at your age?

[swordsandfans.livejournal.com]

Impressive, huh? [It takes everything for him not to follow this up with, "Sokka taught me a lot of stuff". But as much as Sokka likes to make himself look good, he wouldn't bring down Suki to do it.] Of course, I'm not in uniform right now...

[blessingone]

Well, who would walk around in uniform all the time? [A pause as she thinks.] Besides Senel.

[swordsandfans.livejournal.com]

We would! And with makeup too. Because of Kyoshi. She was an Avatar. And really, really tall. Seriously. Like, taller than anyone here. [And he thinks Wonder Woman is intimidating!]

[blessingone]

...Your uniform has makeup?

[swordsandfans.livejournal.com]

Awesome makeup, actually! [He makes a face that can only be described like this (http://l-userpic.livejournal.com/97968536/24240801).]

[blessingone]

[...Familiar. Aww, they were picking up each others' habits.] That doesn't really sound very...military, but I guess I haven't seen a lot of different uniforms. Not in person.

[swordsandfans.livejournal.com]

Well, we're not just any group. We're all girls. [Except... Sokka. But he doesn't mention that. Ever.]

[blessingone]

An all-girl army? [While female soldiers aren't unheard of in Melfes, that's an odd thought to her. ...Especially one that wears make-up and is led by someone her age -- maybe even a little younger. But she tries to keep the incredulity from her voice.

-- Wait a second.] Then why don't you have your own sword?

[swordsandfans.livejournal.com]

... I'm borrowing Sokka's.

[he knew he should have left it at home!]

[blessingone]

[That might have passed suspicion, had it not been for the odd behaviour earlier and the pause/expression. She's looking a little suspicious -- what of, she's not sure yet.]

...Why not your own?

[swordsandfans.livejournal.com]

He's... working on it?

[That's plausible, right?]

[blessingone]

[Plausible, but it's an explanation that shouldn't require that much hesitation. She places her hands on her hips.]

No one's going to believe you if you say it like that.

[swordsandfans.livejournal.com]

What's not to believe? I- Sokka, he works with swords all the time!

[blessingone]

..."I?"

[swordsandfans.livejournal.com]

I? Did I say I?

[blessingone]

[...Click.]

You aren't Suki, are you?

[swordsandfans.livejournal.com]

[Siiiigh.]

... no, I'm not.

[blessingone]

[And, based on that last slip-up:]

What were you trying to pull, Sokka?

[swordsandfans.livejournal.com]

[He lets out a sigh.] I thought I could get away without anyone noticing. Avoid the whole, "Haha Sokka is a girl" routine.

[blessingone]

[...Well, when he put it that way, it was kind of funny. But she'll take pity on him.]

Don't worry. I already got that out of my system the last time. [Well, a little pity. Not that she had really laughed about it so much as boggled.]

[swordsandfans.livejournal.com]

Thanks. [He means it, okay. Because this kind of thing does suck.] At least I know who I am this time.

[blessingone]

That'd get confusing. I mean, geez, what would happen if you ran into -- [Oh, hey, wait a moment. At this point, Fenimore still hasn't figured out what the experiment is about, so she comes to the wrong conclusion of:] Does that mean that Suki is running around looking like you? ...Does she even know you're impersonating her?

[swordsandfans.livejournal.com]

... they kidnapped Suki about a week ago.

[So no, she doesn't know.]

[blessingone]

Oh. [Erk, bad subject. -- Oh man, that must be terrible. But she's really not sure what to say, so she goes with the last resort:] ...Sorry.
