Sokka the 62nd - [Voice/Action]

[markofthewise]

{So Sokka is in a dilemma. Here he is, his usual lunch spot sitting on the stony edge of the fountain, eating his sandwich, when it occurs to him that he's had a ham-and-turkey--and-roast-beef-with-cheese-and-jalapeno sandwich for three week consecutively. And that's only because three weeks ago Hawky flew away with his sandwich before he could eat it. As he realizes he has little to no desire to finish this half eaten sandwich, he realizes his life needs a CHANGE. Something different. Exciting. A way to make his mundane existence in Luceti worthwhile again. Naturally he turns to the journals.]

Okay, so, I'm sick of eating the same old stuff for lunch. Sandwiches are great, really, but I've been eating them for a year now. I think I need more variety in my lunches. Any ideas? It can't be... complicated or anything. Believe it or not, cooking is not exactly my thing. So, anyone got any ideas that don't include visiting Seventh Heaven every day? Or the other restaurants, either. No offense to them, but... I dunno. No offense, either way.

{Unless it's for something special, Sokka just doesn't buy into making people work for him without recompensation.

He chews on his sandwich a bit more, then decides to add:]

Anybody like fishing? I mean... maybe not so much the net fishing. Just line fishing. Or spear fishing, I'm good with that too. It's actually been awhile since I caught my own dinner, now that I think about it.

[For you action folks, catch Sokka at his usual haunts. The smithy, around House 56, around the plaza, or beside the barracks, working on the lumber Moro provided into usable material for his boat. LOUD POWER TOOL SOUNDS, RAR HAR HAR.]

I dunno. I like pizza and chips.

[Cooking is not his forte. Side effect of living in a sexist country. That and there's no junk food there either. Luceti's been awesome for "expanding" his culinary experiences.]

voice

[markofthewise]

Pizzas are pretty tasty. Yet also difficult to prepare.

[Sokka has much the same problem. Sexist background. Only that got beat out of him one episode four.]

[ voice ]

[herotypical]

You can't go wrong with soup.

[ voice ]

[markofthewise]

... soup is kind of boring though.

[Thunderaxe? Jack is highly disappointed in you. He hears your prattling over the journals, oh yes, but he wants to see you in person. There is a little matter of requesting an anchor for his boat, and of asking a few pointed questions. The first of which is:]

Afternoon, Thunderaxe. Feeling peckish, are we?

[markofthewise]

[Buffy is a traitor and the deepest circle of hell is reserved for traitors and mutineers.]

A little. Why, do you have some suggestions? [This is not the usual manner in which he meets Jack.]

[voice]

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

How've you been eating sandwiches for a whole year?

[voice]

[markofthewise]

Fairly easily. I mean, they're sandwiches, anyone can make them. [Even Sokka!]

[harthad.livejournal.com]

Hmm... a good meal I remember... simple, but well on the tongue was a dish of mushrooms and bacon. Perhaps a bit of roast to go with it. I could not tell you how to cook it, though. I've not been one well off in the ways of a fire and pan.

[markofthewise]

Bacon on an open fire, huh? I have to admit, that does sound tasty.

[And maybe the mushroom bit too. Still, that's a little harder to put together as a packed lunch.]

[Voice]

[lina-revolution.livejournal.com]

I love fishing. I'm pretty good at it, too...well, line fishing, at least. Never tried any of the other kinds, not without fireballing the fish out of the river.

[Voice]

[markofthewise]

... fireballing them? Really?

[Is that how Firebenders go fishing? Maybe it's a good thing he and Zuko have never gone together.]

[sea-king-bait.livejournal.com]

Seaweed and clam always make a delicious sandwich, Sokka-chin~.

[markofthewise]

Really? I've never tried it. [He doesn't even find the idea disgusting. He eats sea prunes, after all.]

voice

[one-green-eye.livejournal.com]

... they say it tastes better when you catch it yourself. [or something like that. The sentence is picked up like it was muttered by someone gradually moving closer to the journal, so maybe it wasn't that important anyway.]

And rice goes with everything.

voice

[markofthewise]

Well that's true. On both counts.

[Whatchoo up to Ginko dude? At least that first part made sense anyway.]

[Voice]

[hotheadedidiot]

There're lots of food you can make pretty easily. Like, uhh... Riceballs, and noodles! Or a burger, or maybe some bacon... Or maybe bacon on a burger... [Mmmm, bacon burger...]

[Voice]

[markofthewise]

Bacon... on a burger? [He has not yet heard of this mythical combination, but it sounds amazing.]

[Snufkin is very wary about using this magic-book. You never know what could happen, with things like these. He's learned that from hats.

It makes an awful lot of noise, too-- just as bad as having a crowd along with you. But he hears this question, and thinks it is safe to answer-]

.... I enjoy fishing. It was a little surprising to hear them talk, though.

voice

[markofthewise]

I've never heard them talk.

[But he's never stuck his head underwater to try either. Though at this point, even if they did... it wouldn't bother him.]

voice;

[dragoneer]

You could go with Toothless. I'm kind of...taking a break from fish. [He wanted to see other people.] But he still loves them. Iiii can't promise he'll be very much fun, though. He'll probably just eat everything you catch.

voice;

[markofthewise]

... you want me to take your dragon fishing.

[He's not sure if Hiccup is being serious about this.]

[Voice]

[anodracthedark.livejournal.com]

...have you tried fruit salads? They're simple to make, and easy to change if you desire a bit more variety.

[There's a silence for about ten seconds, before she adds:]

Unless you don't like fruits. Then I suppose it's a rather undesirable treat.

[Voice]

[markofthewise]

... well, fruits are okay, but not exactly a meal. More of a snack, you know?

[voice]

[book-of-chaos.livejournal.com]

Oh, good. So I'm not the only one who'd rather be doing other things than cooking meals day in and day out. [Guess who's been surviving off any instant meal stuff he can find?]

[voice]

[markofthewise]

Exactly! I like food, but I like doing, you know, other stuff.

[voice]

[chaincutter]

There is a fish soup that I like. [The recipe for which he may share, if Sokka is nice.]

[voice]

[markofthewise]

... is it easy to make? [Hey, good food transcends relationships, good or bad.]

[ action ]

[markofthebrave]

[And so, at some point, Katara comes by while Sokka is chopping up wood. Rar rar, power tools. Ugh, loud noises.

She waits for him to finish cutting through one before she speaks up.]

Hey.

[ action ]

[markofthewise]

[My that is one fancy, beautiful looking piece of wood. He could JUST KISS IT. In fact, he's about to do that when he hears Katara behind him. Put away those puckers, boy. He turns around, as if nothing happened.]

Hey, what's up?

action;

[banditsblindly.livejournal.com]

[When Sokka gets home for the day, Toph is waiting for him in the kitchen.

Yeah, the kitchen.

Toph made food for you. Be afraid. Be very afraid.]

Hey, Snoozles! Get in here!

action;

[markofthewise]

[... he smells something in the air. This is not promising at all.]

... hey Toph. [You're in the kitchen. Why are you in the kitchen?]

[Voice]

[blessingone]

[Food. Sokka. There's some connection here that she's -- oh right.]

Hey. Do you remember that time you offered to make a wood stove?

[Voice]

[markofthewise]

[That is quite the connection. But he'll go with it.]

Yeah, it sounds familiar. Why?
