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.]

Mm. It's a little strange, but also interesting... I wonder if there's a pattern for why everyone looks the way they do. [...Pause] Has Sokka changed yet?

Sokka? Why would Sokka have changed? You didn't change! So... so, he's fine. Yeah. [SMILE.]

[Hmmm] Did Katara? Or was everyone there just really lucky...

[Ah! He can handle this one.]

Katara turned into our- I mean, her village. It was kind of weird, but it only lasted a few minutes.

[our]

A whole... how do you become a village?

Well it wasn't life sized. It was a tiny one. She could still talk, somehow...

So... like a talking snow globe?

Uh, sure. But bigger. And without the globe.

[...Oh. Bigger. Right. Blink...]

So! What are you looking for today?

[Uh..]

Some... new clothes? [But why would SUKI need new clothes?] The dryer blew up. With my stuff in it.

Oh... that's unfortunate, sorry to hear that. Need help finding anything- are you looking for something in particular?

[Well, he could probably manage it on his own. But Suki wouldn't just shoo Charlotte away, would she? And Sokka doesn't want to sabotage relationships.]

... not really. Just something me.

You aren't wearing that make-up today. [The... uh. Was the word Kyoshi? She thinks? She thinks about this a moment and then looks carefully at Suki's face, trying to decide which is better]

No no. No make up. That's just for... you know, training. Or travel. Or official Kyoshi Warrior business. A trip to the store is pretty unofficial, you know?

You should show me how you put it on sometime, it looks really impressive. [But that's only thrown off offhand before she nods]

But yeah... I guess it's better to only use something like that for official things. [...] ...So! Are you trying to impress Sokka by chance?
