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

...You are not Sokka.

[He saw the written entry, and will be showing up in the smithy sometime around mid-afternoon.]

Hey Sokka, thought I'd swing by and see if you had that comm... ission

[Snerk.]

-from late last year.

[He'd make a short joke, but there are so many he can't pick one.]

How may I help you?

[Sokka is just sitting up on a stool just to be able to sharpen a sword that is awkward in his child-sized arms. But dammit he's doing it and doing it well!

He'd glare at Michael for that snerking, but he ends up blinking in surprise instead. Dude, last time he saw you was... well, you had boobs then.]

Michael? You're back?

[Twitch. Okay Sokka... everyone you know are just adults, not lumbering giants or anything. It's like when you were a kid, that's all. Nothing to be ashamed about.]

I'm good. Thanks. [He says in a painfully boyish voice. Ugh. He shuffles off to his work area.]

I'm sorry kid, but this is a dangerous place. I'm going to have to ask you to leave.

[And last Michael remembers, you were... almost as hot as he was.]

And better than ever~

[Which is to say... exactly the same. But improving on perfection is still perfection, right?]

[Sokka just has memories of being hit on by Michael on two different occasions. In fact, that commission was made while Michael was leering at girl Sokka. Oh jeez.]

... right. Welcome back.

[Eyebrow twitch. He turns around, crosses his arms, and taps his foot.]

I'm not a kid, Winry! I just look like one, okay!

S-Sokka!?

Yeah. Sokka.

[Just... gonna squeeze the bridge of his nose.]

W-welcome back.

... go ahead. Do the laughing, get it out of your system. [The sooner she's done, the sooner they can act like things are normal.]

You - You're adorable!

[Ranka's kind of lurking in the vicinity of the school today. She was told about it a while ago, and she really should go, shouldn't she? But...hrm. Decisions, decisions. Also, what is she supposed to do, just walk in, no of course not there must be someone to talk to but who and what does she even say and...

...she's kind of pacing nervously.]

[... so he notices. He's wondering what she's doing at first as he watches. Waiting for someone to get out?

Well, he just clears his throat.]

Ranka?

Of course I am. And tiny too. I know. [Tapping his foot. Go on, laugh it up you big brainy blonde.]

[AAA SOMEONE NOTICED]

Yes?!

[Sjksldf turning towards the voice aaaa of course they noticed, Ranka, you were hovering instead of doing anything and now you'll be questioned and it'll be awkward and well it might've been awkward anyway and and and.

...wait. A...kid?]

Will Will you need any help reaching the top shelves today?

[Yes. A kid. She doesn't recognize him. Not that she should, he's a lot younger now. Still, he's starting to wish more people would realize who he is.]

... What are you doing?

... if I do, I'll ask Ed, like you do.

[Because Winry is short all the time! Or... or... something. Ugh.]

Um!

[She doesn't really have any qualms with answering. How embarrassing, having gotten the attention of one of the kids who must be going to the school]

...This is the school, right? Mr Chopin told me about it and I thought I should come, but...it seems like everyone is busy.

Oh. [So she's just... waiting to get noticed? Jeez.]

You talked to Professor Raine or Gelda yet?

... yes I am.

[Why are you hassling him, San? Is it because you're bigger than him? He narrows his eyes and starts stomping off towards wherever it was he was headed.]

[On her way to school, Katara catches a glimpse of a familiar ponytailed child headed into the clothes shop.]

Sokka?
