Sokka the 64th - [ Action/Video]

[markofthewise]

[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!))

Don't worry, it'll be totally manly. We'll even belch, if you want. [He's hoping the kidding around will help her lighten up.]

[herotypical]

[ levity achieved. ]

I'm sure it'll be a mecca of testosterone.

[markofthewise]

Oh, definitely. We may even have to wrestle or something.

[herotypical]

Careful. Jack cheats.

[markofthewise]

At wrestling?

[herotypical]

At everything.

[markofthewise]

Great. I'll have to be ready to cheat too, then.

[herotypical]

Know thy enemy, right?

[markofthewise]

Something like that. [A pause ensues here, though. Time to be a bit serious.]

Anyway, I'm sure you guys will be fine. [Because Sokka is projecting his tremendous luck in finding someone like Suki onto Buffy.]

[herotypical]

...Thanks for the vote of confidence. I think we'll need it. I...we -- it's all kinda scary. Scarily new.

[markofthewise]

Well... you know me. Always going around boosting people's confidence. I guess. [Except he's a pessimist so he has no idea how this happened.]

[herotypical]

...You and Suki should still have your party, you know.

[ so maybe she's still placing a lot of her relationship-centric hope squarely and vicariously upon sokka and suki. if those kids can make it than maybe there's hope for her and jack.

hah.

yeah right. ]

[markofthewise]

With Yue kidnapped right now?

[Yeah... no. He wouldn't even think about that. So he just shakes his head.]

[herotypical]

[ a shake of her head. ]

I meant eventually.

[markofthewise]

Right... [He finds himself staring at the door now.] I guess things are better. Kind of. But I guess we should do it while there's still summer left.

[herotypical]

[ guilt floods in. she had meant to have a good, bonding-like day with her friend. not -- this.

so, quietly: ] Whatever you guys feel comfortable with.

[markofthewise]

[His own answer comes a bit quietly. How did they go from pumps to this?]

Yeah. We'll let you know.

[herotypical]

Forget about the party. It's not about the party. [ she frowns. ] I'm worried about you.

[markofthewise]

[Oh. Oh, she is is, isn't she. He grins.]

Come on, Buffy, I'm fine! I'm just worried about Yue, that's all. I just feel bad for her, that's all it is. me? I'm A-Ok.

[herotypical]

[ it's hard not to smile in the face of that grin. ]

Good. Great. I mean -- not really, really great but...if you're okay? [ then maybe she can be okay. ] Then that's reassuring.

[markofthewise]

[Dismissive handwave.]

Yeah, I'm fine. Don't even worry about it.

[herotypical]

[ a smile. ]

Then I'll see you at the party? Maybe? You're welcome to show up.

[markofthewise]

Yeah, yeah. Sure. I wouldn't miss it.

[herotypical]

...It's a date, then. Sort of. Not really. You catch my drift.

Bye.

[ a soft sort of affection. if sokka says he's alright? then she believes him. she found it easy to believe sokka, somehow. there is an earnestness about him that works wonders for her trust issues. ]

[markofthewise]

Definitely- yeah. Not a date. Later.

[And thus with his new hat in tow, Sokka departs. He still feels utterly bewildered at Buffy opening up to him, though. He'll have to um, go see Jack about that. Maybe.]
