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.]

Nothing.

[Frowning now. Winry obviously isn't telling him something.]

... what did Jack do this time?

[mamasurgeon.livejournal.com]

Nothing! That's the problem!

[swordsandfans.livejournal.com]

Usually Jack doing nothing is a good thing.

[mamasurgeon.livejournal.com]

Not when you make a deal and he agrees to do something and-

Whatever, I guess he still has time.

[swordsandfans.livejournal.com]

I think I'm missing here. What deal?

[mamasurgeon.livejournal.com]

You'll know if he talks to you about it.

[swordsandfans.livejournal.com]

Or I'd know if you talk to me about it!

[mamasurgeon.livejournal.com]

But that would defeat the purpose of him talking to you.

[swordsandfans.livejournal.com]

... right. Right. Of course it would. Well, for the record, it can wait until I'm back in my right body.

[mamasurgeon.livejournal.com]

Sokka, it's a condition of our deal. I complete his commission, and he does a few things for me.

[swordsandfans.livejournal.com]

I already don't like it.

[mamasurgeon.livejournal.com]

Don't worry, I've got this under control.

[swordsandfans.livejournal.com]

Consider me reassured. [He starts towards the back area, then glances at some of the weapons.]

... I should figure out how strong Suki is before I start doing stuff.

[mamasurgeon.livejournal.com]

Be careful.

[swordsandfans.livejournal.com]

Yeah, yeah. I will.

[He picks up an ax that would typically give him just a little trouble. He knows Suki is smaller and while strong, she doesn't exactly go around making weapons or get put through Derek and Souji's intense regimens. So he lifts it up slowly and as he expected, it's a little more difficult. But not quite the difference he expected.]

Hmmm.

[mamasurgeon.livejournal.com]

'Hmmm'? What are thinking about?

[swordsandfans.livejournal.com]

[Oh, right. Uhhh...]

Where does Suki hide all this muscle?

[mamasurgeon.livejournal.com]

It's called being feminine, Sokka. Other girls are like that too.

[swordsandfans.livejournal.com]

Yeah, well I'm still not sold on being shorter. But I guess I can work like this. Technically it's not Suki's body, so if I hurt myself, it's not going to go back to her. [This is a serious concern, okay.]

[mamasurgeon.livejournal.com]

How do you know it's not hers?

[swordsandfans.livejournal.com]

It just doesn't make sense that it would be. If this WAS Suki's body, how did you switch with your mom? Or in Katara's case, for five minutes, was everyone in my village living inside a giant version of her?

[mamasurgeon.livejournal.com]

...Your sister turned into your village?

[swordsandfans.livejournal.com]

Not full sized. But... yeah. Weirdest thing I've seen happen in Luceti.

[mamasurgeon.livejournal.com]

That's the weirdest thing I've heard of. Ever.
