Sokka the 59th - [Action/Written]

[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

[WHAT this teeny kid?]

Really? That's impressive.

... 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!

[... 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?

Yeah... this is the kind of thing that happens here.

[ s t a r e ]

[... taps his foot.]

But - how is that...?

The Malnosso did it. They kidnapped me uh... what day is today?

Um...

[Give her a second, she has to remind herself it's suddenly March and all that]

The sixteenth, I think.

[But the word 'kidnapped' is not lost on her.]

[Okay so it was Tuesday last he remembered. That was uh... the eighth.]

So... eight days. I was kidnapped over a week ago. I guess it could be worse.

[HEY SOKKA REMEMBER THAT THING WHERE SHE WIBBLED AT YOU THE FIRST TIME YOU MET?

Yeaaah.]

That's still a long time.

[Oh come on, he's the one who was kidnapped, not her! Don't make him have to console her.]

Yeah, a little. But what can you do, right?

Mm.

[Don't worry, Sokka, it's only another minute before she's staring again.]

So...

[What does one even do in this situationskjf]

...this is what you looked like when you were a little kid?

[He shifts uncomfortably at being such a focal point of her attention.]

... yup. Pretty much.

How cute!

[Eyebrow twitch. Urgh.] ... thanks.

[She glances back at the school.]

So...you said I should ask Professors Raine and Gelda about going to school?

[Oh, much better.]

Yeah, easy. We can do it now, if you want.

Okay!

[A nod.]

Come on, this way. [And he's just going to lead her inside where hopefully Raine is still around.]

[dum de dum follows]

[And she'll still be in her office, taking the time to go over some paperwork at her desk.]

[There's a knock on the door. If the door's closed, he'll go ahead and push it open. Otherwise he's stepping inside.]

Hey professor. You busy? I got someone for you to meet.
