Sokka the 64th - [ Action/Video]

[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!))

As you wish.

[Even her sarcasm sounds exhausted. Even so, she sets up in the same stance as before and follows the same movements, until there is a second stone pier rising out of the water.]

...There. Piece of...cake.

[~~But when she said 'As you wish', what she really meant was...~~]

That's perfect. Great work. [But he's kind of watching her, worried she might just fall over now.]

[~~She meant, "You really, really better be getting me something good for this."~~]

'Course...it was. [She blinks, batting away an oncoming way of fatigue. Man, she really hated that power cap. And all this sand. It wasn't a combination in her favor.]

[Poor kid. The papa in him wants to of course give her a good old hug and say she did good.

The rational Sokka knows not to overdo it.]

Yeah. I'd say that's enough for now. Maybe we should... go get some sodas or something.

[Touch her and you'll definitely be getting socked, Sokka.]

Yeah, that...sounds like a good idea.

Maybe a step up to that. Ever heard of root beer floats?

[Soda and ice cream. Possibly the best thing since... well, soda and ice cream.]

[She thinks for a moment...]

No. What is it?

Well it's ice cream, but with soda. Sounds weird? It is. But also tasty, so it works out.

[This just puts into perspective how many different things Sokka has yet to introduce Toph to. Some of them things that she introduced to him.]

[Okay, that...does sound pretty nice right now.]

Sure. I could go for one of those. Lead the way, Snoozles.

[AND LEAD AWAY HE SHALL. Good thing for teleporters and all that.]

The trick, of course, is not to use regular beer. It's not quite as tasty. [Speaking from experience, maybe.]

[Yeah, she...could really use a pick-me-up, as a second wave of fatigue hits her as she follows. But she pushes through it. Don't you say a word, Sokka.]

So what...puts the root in root beer?

[Well as long as it doesn't involve an actual pick-her-up, he'll keep quiet.]

Actually... I don't know. It's not even alcoholic.

[You know, there was a time when Toph would have been okay with Sokka picking her up, but, well...that time is past. And now she'll punch him royally if he does.]

So it's just like soda? Or tea? What is it?

[Hey, he's not making any effort to do so. Just casually strolling, opening up this here teleporter, and stepping inside.]

No, soda. Definitely soda. Just a different flavor. Katara's crazy about the stuff.

[And Toph follows him through--yeah, it gives her bending a bit of a jolt, but at least it's quick.]

...It's not like...healthy soda, is it? [Because Toph doesn't want any of that.]

[WHOOSH. Or perhaps there's a whoosh. Silly teleporters, who knows?

He steps back out, as if nothing ever happened, through the barracks.]

Healthy soda? Not a chance.

[Just. Like. Magic. Whoop-de-doo.]

Good. Then, yeah, I'd like to try some of this stuff.

[Just. Like. Science. (Sort of.)]

Well the good thing is, I already know you'll like it.

I'd better. [Pause.] And this doesn't count as payment for making your docks.

[And she's starting to feel a little less fatigued now--just needed to walk it off. Nothing she can't handle. Obviously.]

What, this? Think of this as a down payment. I'll have the goods later.

[Since she seems to be doing better, he puts a little more oomph into his walk. He had been dragging his feet, just a bit, so as not to lose her entirely.]

Well, you better, 'cause I'm charging interest.

Fixed or compound? [Hey, it's important to know.]

[And this is where Toph cared to stop learning about banking.] Whatever floats your boat. I don't care.

Water, in fact, is what's keeping it floating. [But look! The bar. Let's go in.]

...That was awful, Sokka. Even for one of your jokes.

[She follows him in, and--yup, wood floors, great.]
