markofthewise | Sokka the 57th

[Sokka has some messages to knock out of the way. He doesn't bother with a filter for the first one, mainly because he feels like being somewhat of a jerk and making light of Haruhi's ridiculous relationship with her 'minions'. In spite of that, Sokka's tone is pretty flat. There's no excitement here and it's pretty obvious through the message something is bothering him.]

Hey Haruhi, feel free to send Naoki over. He can do his thing now. [Oh wait...] Uh, after Leon takes a look over it, I guess.

[Wonder Woman // Locked]

Uh, hey Diana. Can I ask a favor?

[This last one he almost backs out of doing. But it's been a few days now and things haven't changed. Maybe this will help.]

[Filtered from Housemates (and Haruhi as an afterthought)]

So... hypothetically speaking, how do you make up it up to someone you really care about for something that really hurt them when what you did... there was nothing you could do about it?

[With things so awkward at home with Suki, Sokka has been spending less time there. It's hard to spend time with your girlfriend when she's still upset with you, but being polite about it. So this leaves him working at the smithy for longer hours, actually doing homework at the library, and once more taking part in his neverending quest to find a hat that really says Sokka to him. Through all this, he is accompanied by a certain cheeky lemur hanging around on top of his head, shoulder, or getting into things he shouldn't.

He will, at least, drag himself home for dinner. Delicious, awkward dinner.]

Turkey, turkey... what do those look like again?

[He hasn't run into wild turkeys, unlike with rabbits.]

Edited 2011-02-07 04:32 (UTC)

Like birds with funny throat hangers-on. They gobble.

Like chickens! That makes more sense. I mean, why would a rabbit go around hiding its eggs? They don't lay eggs!

Nope, the rabbit still does that. Just...at Easter. But the Easter Bunny's kinda like Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy.

But I thought Santa Claus was an old guy and the Tooth Fairy was like... Miyabi.

[Similarities? He doesn't see them.]

Fairy tales.

[So Santa, the Easter bunny, and Thanksgiving Turkey are all... fairies?

Buffy, he is so lost.]

Your world is weird.

[ oh, sokka. ]

Weirder than you could even imagine.

Vampires, bears, egg laying rabbits, Japan, and Buffy Summers... anything else weird about it I should know?

Country music. It's unfathomable.

[ she saw what you did there, sokka. she doesn't mind. ]

How bad can it be?

It's the music of pain and suffering and everything unhappy but with twangy guitars to match. The bad can be pretty, well, bad.

[He has a vague idea of what guitars are. Stringed instruments, similar to ones in his world. And when he thinks of that...]

I might be familiar with that kind of music.

Oh, God -- it's infected your world, too?

Earth Nomads. They wander around the place singing about local folklore, but without remembering the words.

Hmm. That sounds to be a little more on the hippie side but...but sure, they could be the same. Are there a lot of dead dogs in their songs?

Dogs... I'd never seen those before Luceti either. Those could go in the zoo, too.

The Foggy Swamp Tribe had a few songs about catgators, though. There was a kind of sad one about their catgator dying. Does that count?

Catgator? [ uhh, why couldn't they put that in the zoo instead of the dog? it sounded way wackier. ] Yeah, sure. That totally counts.

Yeah, I guess they're like... [he tries to think of a similar enough animal from Earth.] crocodiles? The Foggy Swamp tribe keeps them as pets.

Or maybe alligators?

... that would probably make sense too. They're the same thing, right?

Uh, snout shape? Teeth? I don't know -- I don't exactly spend a lot of time examining them.

[ as her the difference between a fyarl demon and polgara, though. ]

I don't know why anyone would. They don't exactly look like good eating.

[Which is the only reason to know the subtle differences in animals. If you're planning to hunt them and eat them.]

Some people actually do eat them, I think. But then again...some people also eat moose. Go figure.

Hey, hey! Saber-tooth Moose-Lion is good eating! I don't care how cute and cuddly their babies are.
