Sokka the 63rd - [Action/Voice]

[markofthewise]

[With things returning to some semblance of normality in Luceti, things are still... awkward at home for Sokka. After revealing Yue's fate to her, he hasn't really known how to touch on that issue with her. It's not easy telling your first love that you had to move on because she basically died. It wasn't fair to her. But there was no way of fixing it. Which is what brings him to Hiccup's house today in order that he might procure a dragon. For what purpose?

He and Toothless will be on the riverside, where Sokka will be fishing. Whenever he catches something, he'll take a moment to examine it, then toss it over to the dragon to quickly consume. Momo, who is unfortunately present for this, is mostly keeping his distance from the dragon while making many valiant attempts to rob Sokka of his bait. This trio can be found on the western side of the river, northeast of Building 5 where the wooded area gives them some sense of seclusion, even if they can be easily spotted from the other side.

Sometime during the fishing, he breaks out the journal to do some business.]

[Filtered to Shiki]

Hey, Shiki? Umm... so, ignoring the me acting weird part the other day, I have a question about the uniforms. It looks like Suki got more recruits than I expected.

Hey, this is Sokka. I'm Suki's boyfri-err, fiancee. I know a lot of you already, but anyway, I'll be getting you guys your fans once I figure out how to make them. If there's any other requests for that kind of thing... just let me know. Seriously, weapons are my thing. I work at the smithy, so... I can probably make or find whatever you want. Really.

And uhh... don't be surprised if someone named Shiki contacts you about uniforms later. Cuz... that might happen. Maybe. Just a warning.

[Filtered to Brave Vesperia (and anyone working on the boat project)]

Shouldn't be much longer to get finished. A week, maybe? We can start moving all stuff through the teleporter at the end of the week and start assembling it at the beach. Just keep an eye out for a certain pirate. I think Jack might try to do something. He was umm... not happy about the being left out of the loop thing. Just so you know.

[Sokka has no public message to make beyond that. His housemates and co-workers can catch him on his way home or just contact him by journal, since he filled them in on his plans earlier. Or they can bug him while he fishes like everyone else. He'll be coming home just in time for a special surprise from Katara.]

Gee, what gave it away? [Was it the fact he's not a girl?]

[realityanchor.livejournal.com]

Oh, I dunno. I figure anyone who can plan out their future looks so immaculately has gotta have at least a little bit of a girl talk bone in them.

[markofthewise]

... planning to grow a beard isn't the same as girly talk!

[realityanchor.livejournal.com]

Not girly talk. Girl talk! You make it sound so wussy.

[markofthewise]

What's the difference?

[realityanchor.livejournal.com]

Well, you know... Girl talk is when you and your friends dish out the details to each other. I guess it usually is a girl thing, but there's no one saying you can't break the status quo.

Girly talk is about make-up and dresses and stuff, I guess.

[markofthewise]

I don't see how the first one is girl talk. I talk about stuff. It's not like only girls do that.

[But the girly stuff distinction is well taken.]

[realityanchor.livejournal.com]

The way guys talk about stuff is different. You guys have manly honor to uphold or something.

[markofthewise]

Hey, just because we have manly honor doesn't mean we don't talk. Honor and talk have nothing to do with each other.

[realityanchor.livejournal.com]

No, no! I mean -- you guys don't talk about your feelings! When you're feeling scared or depressed or heartbroken... Stuff like that.

[markofthewise]

Of course we don't talk about stuff like that. We don't have many feelings like that.

[realityanchor.livejournal.com]

Hey, you can't expect me to believe that!

[markofthewise]

What? It's true! Guys just aren't all that emotional.

[realityanchor.livejournal.com]

You're telling me you don't get anxious before a fight, or -- or sad when your friends leave?

[markofthewise]

Oh, sure. Just not a lot.

[realityanchor.livejournal.com]

Whatever you say.

[markofthewise]

... anyway, it's not like I go around unloading my horrible brooding secrets to people I just met on the journals.

[realityanchor.livejournal.com]

A-ha! But you do have them!

[markofthewise]

[... oh right.]

Little ones. Barely even noticeable.

[realityanchor.livejournal.com]

Rrrggh. Men.

[markofthewise]

You'll learn to live with it.

[realityanchor.livejournal.com]

My sympathies go out to Suki.

[markofthewise]

Suki happens to be quite happy with me. [SO THERE.]

[realityanchor.livejournal.com]

Okay, okay. I'm telling you, though! A bit of sensitivity goes a long way with girls.

[markofthewise]

Great. Advice. Thanks. [Like he'd ever need that! Psh! The very idea!]
