markofthewise | Sokka the 64th

[Video]

[Well, there it stands in all its glory. Sokka has the journal camera facing away from him, showing off his new boat, that looks like this (or like this when full mast), sitting out in the water. For a lack of other vessels, two canoes are hoisted and secured on either side, those being the Aila and Maza respectively. On both sides of the ship is painted something like this (only less lazy and technically saying '海洋精神' but this is Luceti okay). After getting a good view of the waves crashing on it, Sokka turns the journal back around to himself.]

So there it is, The Ocean Spirit, it's finally finished. All thanks to Brave Vesperia and other people. So... yeah, thanks everyone. Good job. We'll have its maiden voyage soon. Speaking of which - Hey Toph, you mind coming out here and making a dock? It would be... well, a lot more convenient.

Anybody who wants to come out and check it out, just use the teleporter in the barracks. I'll be out here on the beach for awhile.

[END transmission. He'll be there for most of the day, until the evening when he heads home for the usual dinner time.]

((ooc: To everyone who volunteered their characters for this, including BV people... sorry I didn't get this more organized oocly. In any case, feel free to assume any tasks your characters might have done during the construction. It was a group effort!))

Thanks. Shame about you being bedridden this whole time. [LAZY BUM.]

Yeah ... Well, I'm not too familiar with building stuff like that, so it was probably better that I was out of the way, anyway. [Although, he would've been much happier helping to build something he'd never built before than lying around, being agitated.]

So you came up with a convenient excuse. Riiiight. [Sokka knows it's not like that, sure. Doesn't mean he has to act that way.]

It was either that, or have a really angry healer breathing down my back. [Or in other words, he wouldn't have had a choice anyway. Estelle probably wouldn't have even allowed him to consider an option aside from "stay in bed".]

You've got one of those too, huh? What is it about violent yet caring healers?

... Well, I wouldn't call her violent, but there's no way she would've let me do anything aside from stay put.

Fair enough. You feeling better yet?

I've been feeling better for a while. I just live with too many worriers. [... Or in other words, he just fully recovered very recently and was bored for days before that happened.]

You sound like a guy desperately in need of sneaking out of the house.

Maybe a few days ago, I was. Now I'm just annoyed that I still can't do my usual routine.

What exactly is your usual routine?

It's nothing big. Just a four mile run, followed by a hundred push-ups, sit-ups, and squats, then a few hours at the battle dome. [sigh] ... Man, it's really ticking me off that I have to cut down on some of that.

... are you serious? [Jeez. And though Sokka thought he spent a lot of time training these days...] You don't really have much of a social life here, do you?

... I have enough of one.

[... That would probably explain why he's so bored all the time, though.]

Let me guess. Sometimes you say hi to people if you walk by them?

It's not that bad.

[... Only sometimes. Geez.]

Right... so, what's the last thing you did for fun? Besides that other stuff you said.

[... There's a noticeable pause on his end. Mostly because he can't think of anything aside from his occasional weekend outings with Raine at the battle dome. ... And there's no way to say that without it sounding suspicious. ... ... Or without making it seem like fighting is the only thing he cares about.

So, he'll go for the other option!]

Who cares? My personal life isn't anyone's business.

Soooo, basically you can't think of anything.

[You paused too long, man!]

[Dammit! ... Sighing now. Screw it, it's not like it's not true.]

... Not really. [ ... ] I'm not much of a "fun" kind of guy, anyway. Besides, I get involved in too many things to bother with stuff like that.

Like that four mile run. Definitely can't give that up.

Well, yeah. I'd get out of shape if I did that.

[Sarcasm or not, he totally can't give something like that up. Geez, Sokka. Do you want him to actually gain weight or something?]

Out of shape. Right. [Cuz Yuri is just SO PRONE to weight gain.]

[He could be! He's been forced to lay around for almost two weeks! He might have actually gone up as far as 120!]

What? That's what happens to you when suddenly stop doing stuff like that, you know.

I've taken days off. I seemed to be just fine the next day. Better, even.
