markofthewise | Sokka the 59th

[Today a not-so-unfamiliar face returns to Luceti. He is by no means happy about being here, stuck as he in a pair of New Feather pants. His old stuff? Doesn't quite fit. After all, it was clothes for a seventeen year old, not a nine year old. Maybe this 'little kid' would be happier about this if not for the fact he wasn't a mere four foot six just a week ago. He wears the indignant face of someone not at all content about being so short. He is not a happy little kid.

After waking up behind one of the stores, he goes to the clothing store first to put something on, going to the oft-neglected kid's section of the store. As it turns out, there's not many little boys in Luceti. At least not his current age. Refusing to wear girl clothing, he opts for an oversized tunic and pair of shorts that he secures with a belt. It looks even more ridiculous than the alternative. After that, he'll be on his way to House 56. After letting his housemates know he is home (and finding out about a new arrival), he decides that a mallynapping isn't going to stop him, so he heads to the smithy later to try and get work done. He may drop in on school for at least one class today, because he's trying his best to pretend this is all normal.

At some point in the day he leaves a written message, cautious to keep away from the view screen.]

Sokka here. I'm back from another kidnapping. So if you need anything at the smithy or anything, let me know. I'll get it done.

((ooc: Action him up at any point. Multiple timelines are fine here. And yeah, it's Sokka in a nine year old body, but his normal Sokka mind. He only looks cute. Replies will come from

[Louder now and turning to rapidly approach.]

Sokka!

Will you also be needing a new pair of gloves?

[He stops just as he starts pushing the door open and glances back. Well, he's glad to see Katara, but she just gets the flattest look ever. He is not happy about his predicament.]

Hey Katara.

... I'll figure out something.

[Says the kid who couldn't even find a shirt and pants that fit.]

[She shakes her head.]

Are they the ones in charge of the school?

Yeah. They'll just make you take a test then put you in a class based off how you score. Pretty simple.

You know that could be a hazard if your fumbling around. What do you even plan to do like that anyway?

You're back! You're - short. [You're - you. Still you. Even younger.]

Work! Making stuff, fixing stuff, all the usual stuff. I'm not helpless or anything.

Yeah, I kind of noticed that already. But thanks for pointing it out.

[And with her closer he realizes... she's taller than him. Which is weird.]

No, you just don't have the same reach or muscle mass.

I see! That doesn't sound so bad, after all. I was worried it'd be something more difficult than that.

So it will take me longer to do stuff, big deal.

Yeah. I didn't even study and I'm in all the top classes.

And it'll be more dangerous. I doubt you can hold half of the stuff here anymore.

[WHAT this teeny kid?]

Really? That's impressive.

If I can't, I won't! I'll figure it out. [Stubbornly marching off to this work area.]

... not really. Anyone who knows a little can do that.

[... he's already forgotten the fact that she doesn't know who he is.]

But I'm really impressed, especially for someone at your age!

Fine!

[... and there it is again. A sigh and he pinches the bridge of his nose.]

... Ranka. It's me, Sokka. [I'm older than you!]

[...stare.]

What?

[...]

[Pffff!]

You're so cute!

[When Toph hears someone come home, she bolts out of her room to find out who it is. She hopes it's Sokka--of course she does--but the figure is unfamiliar.

She points an accusing finger.]

Hey, small fry, what makes you think you can just come into our house?
