{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.]

[You just gotta know how to talk to Ed! The trick is to intimidate him with your verbal superiority.]

Well, I'm usually the leather armor kind of guy myself. Buut... I had the chainmail made for training and I use it for when I get sent out. It's saved my life more than once. And the best part is, it's not too heavy. Edward's a real pro at making it.

[...Yeah, Hiccup's doomed.]

Y-yeah? I'll...yeah. I'll ask him about it, then. [Even if it makes him terribly nervous.] Thanks, Sokka.

Don't mention it.

[Oh! Something occurs to him.] How much do you know about anchors? And... wood stoves.

Ahhhh...that'd be pretty much zilch. I mean, we had them--seafaring folk, a-and, you know--but as for their actual construction? I never helped out. Same with stoves. We...didn't even have those, actually.

I haven't exactly made any of those myself. [Not that he thinks he can't do it, but he figured if anyone would know, it would be Hiccup.]

I have two anchors to make and a wood stove. Weird orders, I know. Still... want to help out?

Y-yeah, Iiii...sure. I could use the anchor knowledge, in any case.

[But then...]

W-wait a second, are you...building boats for Haruhi, too?

... Haruhi's boat? Are you serious? [He's serious, isn't he.]

Yeah, no. I'm making it for me. Brave Vesperia, I guess.

Iiiii guess this would be a good time to mention that I'm, ahhhh....helping her build boats?

[HE DIDN'T KNOW THERE WAS BAD BLOOD HERE, HONESTLY.]

[... why does she even NEED a boat!? But... whatever.]

... well, the more boats the better, I guess. Having a bunch of them isn't a bad thing.

[Hiccup isn't even really sure. But he wanted to be useful, so...]

...Do you think there's, you know...something out there? Not just more barrier?

Maybe... it's not a way to escape, but there could be something out there.

[Then again... they'd have heard about it by now, right?]

[Hiccup would maybe remain skeptical, but...Sokka had been here for awhile, hadn't he? He had his hunches that were probably more logical than Hiccup's own.]

I-I guess...yeah, that'd be entirely possible.

So no one's tried sailing out there before?

I... don't think so? I think Jack has got a boat out there, but I'm not sure how far out he's taken it. I mean, he did just order an anchor, after all.

[Oh good, Sparrow at the smithy. He's just asking for help all over the place.]

You know? He asked me and Toothless to help him build a pier, too.

... you should pass on the pier. I think I have a good idea of how to get some piers without all the work.

[Just gotta go talk to Toph...]

Iiii might take you up that offer. To be honest? I'd...rather not work with Jack again. Yeah. But I did already tell him I would do it.

[Shh, part of him totally doesn't still have some strange desire to make Sparrow proud. Nooooot one bit.]

Yeah Jack... well, he's a pirate. Probably will want to steal my boat and Haruhi's at some point.

[You know? Sokka is probably right about that. But Hiccup had given him his word...

Ugh. Of all the fake parents he had to get saddled with...]

R-right. Well? Who knows. Maybe he'll just forget about it anyway.

Until he's trying to get in his ship, anyway. But don't worry, I'll get it taken care of.

Ahhh...alright. Sure thing.

[He's not about not having to work with Jack.]

Catch you later, then.
