markofthewise | Sokka the 61st

[When Sokka opens the journal, he does it with a very specific purpose and yeah, maybe it's New Feather season and the aftermath of some dumb experiment, but he has some news that he's been sitting on for awhile. News that only two or three people outside of the Avatar house are even aware of. So today, around lunch period at school, Sokka heads around the building, facing the playground, to make an announcement he'd been putting off for a bit. Not because he didn't want to make it, but it was hard to do it with people being all ragey with the Malnosso. Maybe a few days of New Feathers will have cooled them off?]

Hey everyone. So... this is actually a few weeks late, but uh, that experiment kind of got in the way and New Feathers showing up and... anyway. Forget all that.

If you guys happen to see Suki around town, say hi to her for me. After all, she's the future Missus Thunderaxe. [He allows that to sink in a bit.] Because, you know, we're engaged now. Just saying. Nice pretty necklace and everything. One of my best works, if I do say so myself.

[Yeah, yeah. He's feeling good about that, okay. Like, solid. Whatever that means. Anyway, he decided that tonight he is making dinner. That means he's going to the grocery and stocking up on steaks. He wants to make steak burgers, because he's heard about them (somewhere) and they sounded awesome. From Luceti he had decided he liked steak and he liked hamburgers, so a combination? Gotta be a winner. Nevermind that he's just getting regular old steaks and plans to just put those on a hamburger bun. He'll realize the bones are gonna be a problem later on.

He'll make his customary appearance at the smithy to help New Feathers with weapons. He'll also be around school during the appropriate times for that. In the evening, after his dinner fiasco, he'll be down by the river, on the southern end of town, making some modifications to see if he can't make it sea worthy. Like adding a sail. He's pretty unsatisfied with the results though. Looks like he may need to just make a new boat from scratch. Which necessitates another voice post in the evening. But only after excluding a certain pirate. No offense, Jack, but he wants his own boat.]

[Filtered from Jack Sparrow]

So... ship building. Anyone want to help make one? A big one. Not huge, just... sea worthy with a nice strong sail. And good for bringing in lots of fish, too. Any help would be good. Just materials would go a long way.

[... when she gets back anyway.]</small. Why, were you really sappy about it?

Aw, hell, man. You have no idea.

[...It is kind of how he rolls, admittedly.]

Hey, you tell me how yours went, maybe I'll do the same.

[Maybe. Sokka's is pretty terrible and only an equally terrible story will earn it being told.]

It was after a family dinner that she had made bringing her extended family over. We went for a walk up alone to where the cherry blossom trees are, and we talked for a few minutes. I made reference to... I guess the first time we had gone up there together in that version of the village. Mentioned how I remembered it, and I told her I loved her, and I kneeled down and gave her the ring.

...Of course this was only after I defeated Sylvia about a hundred times to prove I was capable of protecting her.

It's insane, like the product of a bad anime, or something.

[...Yup. He went there.]

... that doesn't sound so bad. Except for the uh, excessive battling.

[Or even all that embarrassing! Sokka's story is way worse.]

Well... Noel and Nu saw me do it. Apparently they were spying on us the whole time.

... experiment family?

[He would've known this before. Not it's just guesswork. It's reasonable to assume anyone was related.]

They were my nieces, apparently.

Never mind that they look like they're the same age as I am.

Fenimore was my daughter. I think she's older than me.

I was brother to both Terra and Locke. And Terra had a ton of kids.

...This whole thing seriously reeks of a bad writer. Or director.

Or a crazy, old, weird blue guy who wears funny hats.

Well, he better not quit his day job, is what I'm getting at.

Sounds like it's a little too late for that, actually.

...He may not be in the position anymore.

But he hasn't quit. That much is for damn sure.

[Wouldn't have gone through all the trouble if he intended to sit out gracefully.]

Yeah. [Wow, how did they get on this depressing tangent. ANYWAY.]

Anyway, I did it on a boat.

A boat? Like, on the lake?

Relax, Adell, it wasn't Vyse's boat. [He didn't steal it. ~~Again.~~]

No, that's not what I meant.

It's just... I never would've thought of that. How'd it go?

Well she agreed to marry me. So, you know, that part was good. And it wasn't an experiment at the time, so even better.

[Obviously something is missing from the story.]

Really? That's all there was to it?

[He's a little surprised that it's so brief.]

Well, there was kissing and stuff, but that's personal. [Noooothing else, nope.]

Well yeah. I wasn't gonna ask about that.

Just seemed like a short story, but I guess it doesn't have to be some sort of epic tale or anything for it to work, just the right place and right time.

Well, it was how I planned it, right? We camped after that.
