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.]

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.

[swordsandfans.livejournal.com]

[He sighs.]

She'll be back soon enough. She'll get to miss the whole experiment, probably.

[blessingone]

[This...probably would be a bad time to make a joke about "well, at least you aren't getting in trouble for this." So she will try to be sensitive for once and leave that joke be!]

I guess so. She probably wouldn't want to spend a week as you. [Though she'll try to lighten things if she can.]

[swordsandfans.livejournal.com]

[He's good with lightening things up. He knows Suki will be back and being mopey won't bring her back sooner.]

Well I do have some big shoes to fill!

[blessingone]

Don't worry, her feet would grow, too, even if she's usually smaller than you.

[swordsandfans.livejournal.com]

Speaking of which, Suki has really comfortable shoes! Seriously, it's like I'm not even walking in these things. [He lifts one up while standing on one leg.]

I mean, really, they don't look like much, but amazing!

[blessingone]

[She almost giggles, but holds it back with a grin. What an odd thing to be so enamoured with, she thinks.]

Maybe you should find a pair in your size. Though I guess it's a matter of luck if they show up here -- unless she makes her own.

[swordsandfans.livejournal.com]

[Sometimes Sokka can be such a girl. Without actually having to be a girl.]

I'll have to put that on my list of things to ask her. [Dropping the foot before he falls over.]

[blessingone]

Well, if you get a chance, you should let me know. Maybe I should give them a try if they're as good as you say.

[swordsandfans.livejournal.com]

Oh, sure. Seeing as how I'll have guy feet again soon, I may just have to appreciate this while I have them. [But yes, he will go shoe shopping with you, Fenimore. :|a]

[blessingone]

If you could find some in your size, what's to stop you from enjoying them with guy feet?

[swordsandfans.livejournal.com]

Well they're kind of girly looking shoes, don't you think? [So it's out of the question to wear them all the time!]
