markofthewise | Sokka the 63rd

[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.

[Filtered to the Kyoshi Warriors]

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.]

[Oh. Okay that actually works better. She's scribbling some notes in the margin of the journal, don't mind her.] Well in that case I can totally get eight of them done as soon as I get sizes. You don't happen to know the names of her recruits, do you? I might have some of them and their sizes on file. I mean if not I can probably just do a call and figure it out, no big deal.

Let's see... there's Fenimore, Xion, Stella, Charlotte, Elizabeth, Ukyo, Marica, and... Madoka. Yeah, I think that's all of them. [He quickly counts them off in his head... yeah, that's eight.]

[She's busy jotting down the names, making a note to check her files later.] Huh...a lot of new customers then. I'll make a call and ask around for them to come in for measurements.

I might ask Suki to stop by, too. Just to make sure the uniform design is exactly how she wants it. Thanks for the heads up.

That's a good idea. But anyway, since this is a lot of stuff... if there's anything you want in return, just let me know. Seriously, I could make you a weapon or something at the smithy. Or... something else metally. It's what I do.

I actually do have something I can ask you for this time in exchange. I need to get outfitted for a new sword. I'm still kind of training, but I think I'm ready for another upgrade. I wanted to surprise Link with it. Something light still, but firmer than what I have now.

Yeah, sure I can do- Link? [He blinks... why would Link be interested in her sword?]

Yeah, you know...blonde guy, kind of looks like an elf? He's been teaching me to fight.

[He has no idea what an elf is, but...]

Huh. Not exactly... who I'd think of as a teacher.

What, really? He told me that he'd spent a lot of time at home training and fighting. Sounds just about right to me.

Well... sure, I guess he's probably an okay fighter. But he's well... he acts like a kid.

Wait, are we talking about the same guy?

Green hat, pointy ears?

...yeah that's him. He definitely seems like a fighter to me.

No no, he's definitely a fighter. He just doesn't strike me as the... mentor type.

He's actually pretty helpful believe it or not.

Huh. Guess he's better than I thought.

[... how can he be a better teacher than Sokka? That's not right.]

He's definitely decent. I needed a new defense since what I usually fight with doesn't...really work here.

Well... can't go wrong with swords. Are you using a short sword like him, then?

I think so? I'm mostly just using what he tells me to use. Sword and shield as far as I know.

Well, if that's what works for you, who am I to argue?

If you really want to know, you're the guy who's going to set me up with a better weapon. I'll swing by the smithy sometime this week.

Right, that guy. Okay, I'll be the guy... who makes you a better sword. So I'll seeya then.
