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.]

[a low hum] I've seen in happen. But maybe now that's a system you'll have time to mend.

[in the future, anyway. The imaginary future.]

[markofthewise]

Yeah, I guess. But there's a lot of things to fix with the war over.

...

have any specific thing, that you dwell on?

[markofthewise]

... I don't think about it much. I think it would kind of drive me crazy thinking about all the stuff I have to work on at home.

[one-green-eye.livejournal.com]

Would if you did all the time, sure. [a nod] ...I guess everyone handles it differently.

Well if you want to know the bad part, it's when you think of home and for a second, think of Luceti instead. I guess no one ever expects to be here as long as some of us do.

[one-green-eye.livejournal.com]

Hmm. I think for some people, it's a preferable home.

But it's just a natural, human way to feel. That's why any of us feel a connection to places, friends-- or family in the first place.

[markofthewise]

Maybe, but I've always thought of home as a bleak, inhospitable landscape of ice and snow. [Yes, he's being sarcastic, but he can make fun of how people view the South Pole.]

[one-green-eye.livejournal.com]

Not so inhospitable, apparently.

[markofthewise]

Well some people manage to live there.
