markofthewise | Sokka the 60th

[Today? Sokka is at the smithy. Honestly, are we really surprised by this? Seriously, this is kind of his thing. He is waiting for Winry, though. He wants her input on a project.]

It's been two weeks since the equinox. And we're finally getting a break from all the rain. Funny how the new season just kind of Springs up on you like that, am I right?

[Oh Sokka, you are hi-lar-ious. He wipes a tear from his eye even, pleased that he managed to let such a well-seasoned joke be released into the wild. Oh, speaking of wild.]

No but seriously, now that it's getting that time of year, how many people out here hunt and fish? I know, I know. Boo hoo, the talking animals. I've heard it. But is there anyone here besides me who still does that kind of thing?

[Also, lately Sokka is keeping a new little trinket in one of his pockets. It's something he intends to give to someone at the right time. After the small blunder of forgetting to bring it on Suki's birthday, he's keeping it all the time on him now. So even as he's walking away from home, he'll often put his hand in his pocket to make sure it's still there. He probably won't show it to just anyone, though.]

Thunderaxe:

Said bulletproof bear costume is for a friend, to ensure his protection.

I ask that you hold this information of my seeking it in strictest confidence, lest his safety be compromised.

--Sparrow

P.S.: Pity.

Sparrow,

Why is your friend hunting a bear?

-Sokka

PS: You should have used a filter.

I'm hunting the bear, Thunderaxe.

~~Buggered filters~~

So why does the friend need the costume if you're doing the hunting?

Dear Thunderaxe:

It would seem you are under the egregiously WRONG impression that I have planned to hunt bears dressed as a lady bear.

A worse plan I could not imagine in heaven or earth.

I need the bear to make the costume.

Regards

J.S.

Sparrow,

It's not that bad of a plan! Although not one I'd recommend.

Why do you need the costume?

-Sokka

Dear Thunderaxe,

I am not entertaining this HORRIBLE HORRIBLE PLAN any longer.

And the why of the needing of the costume would be one of those chips of information what are considered of the sub rosa or highly not-for-any-other-eyes variety, savvy? Highly Sensitive Information.

---Sparrow

Sparrow,

Do you feel more talkative with a filter in place?

-Sokka

Sokka--

I'd have to kill you.

Sparrow

P.S. Just kidding.

[No response here. Unfortunately eye rolls don't transfer in text.]

Dear Sokka,

I suppose you can be trusted with this information. There's to be another robbery of the bakery.

And this time, we will have a scapegoat.

--J.S.

Sparrow,

Everything at the bakery is free.

-Sokka

Sokka--

Which means everyone will appreciate it more once it's stolen.

--Sparrow, Doer of Good Deeds.

Sparrow,

I don't get it.

-Sokka

Sokka--

It's all a matter of scarcity and demand and showing the people what they can't have. Also, we think it might drive Regal round the bend.

--Sparrow

Sparrow,

Sounds like a worthy cause to me. What will you do with the rest of the bear?

-Sokka

Dunno, actually. What can be done?

You can use the meat. You can't just kill a bear for it's skin.

Bear meat does not sound very appealing, Sokka. Would you like to have it?

It's not that bad if you know what to do with it. But no. If I wanted bear meat, I'd go bear hunting.

Bear pies?

[Jack will figure out something to do with it.]

Talk to Regal about that. He's the baker here, remember?

I dunno; there's others what know how to bake in this place, Thunderaxe. I'll think of something.

Ta.

Later Jack.
