Sokka the 60th - [Action/Voice]

[markofthewise]

[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.]

The easier question to answer would be what isn't wrong with her.

[ voice ]

[markofthewise]

Okay, what isn't wrong with her?

[ voice ]

[herotypical]

...Nothing.

[ BUT WAIT. ] Oh, she's blonde. I guess that's okay. One point in her favour.

[ voice ]

[markofthewise]

We don't have blondes in my world. [And they do JUST FINE.]

[ voice ]

[herotypical]

You know, it's a scientific fact that blondes have more fun.

[ voice ]

[markofthewise]

And yet my world seems to do just fine. [And the only blonde he knew that had more fun was Nash. Buffy and Winry aren't all that fun.]

[ voice ]

[herotypical]

[ h-hey! she's getting better at the fun thing! honest! ]

Maybe you just haven't met the blondes yet. I mean -- a world's a big place.

[ voice ]

[markofthewise]

I doubt it. I've kinda been around the entire world.

[He comes from a pretty small world, man.]

[ voice ]

[herotypical]

But you haven't met everyone, have you?

[ voice ]

[markofthewise]

... well not exactly, but someone like that would kind of stick out.

[ voice ]

[herotypical]

What about redheads. Does your world have those?

[ voice ]

[markofthewise]

Nope, none of those. It's pretty much brown or black, unless you're old.

[ voice ]

[herotypical]

No dye jobs?

[ voice ]

[markofthewise]

Nope. Not sure why you'd bother.

[ voice ]

[herotypical]

Some people like the change, I guess.

[ voice ]

[markofthewise]

Maybe... what do you think, would I look good as another color?

[ voice ]

[herotypical]

Well? If you ever decide to go blonde, you know which expert to call.

[ voice ]

[markofthewise]

... wait, does that mean you dyed your hair blonde?

[ voice ]

[herotypical]

No, I meant...the expert on being blonde. This? This is all natural, folks.

[ voice ]

[markofthewise]

I'm not exactly seeing how you be an expert on something like that.

[ voice ]

[herotypical]

How would you know? You'd never even met a blonde before coming here.

[ they see me trollin' ]

[ voice ]

[markofthewise]

True. But I've seen blonder.

[ voice ]

[herotypical]

Platinum doesn't count. That's just weird.

[ voice ]

[markofthewise]

Platinum? I was thinking of Winry.

[ voice ]

[herotypical]

Right. Winry -- there's a blonde that knows how to work it.
