65th: The Swapping of Sokka Thunderaxe


[And now Sokka was a girl. Worse than that, he was Haruhi Suzumiya. After an enlightening conversation with that Malnosso girl, he and the real Haruhi had come to the unhappy conclusion it was better not to tell anyone what happened. Which Sokka hated the idea of, but the potential consequences of not doing it could be worse. Besides, if Haruhi could figure out how to fix all of this, he'd be back in his own body by tomorrow! Or a few days, anyway.

This, unfortunately, means having to live like Haruhi. And dress like her too. Girly top, a dress, and that stupid ribbon in his hair. As much as he wanted to just tie it all behind his head in a ponytail, she wouldn't let him do that. Can't blow their cover, after all. And then he has to follow Haruhi's schedule for things.

He leaves the house undetected that morning, eating breakfast on the go. This leaves him to try and do things that Haruhi would do. Which he is not at all thrilled about. Since he doesn't want to run into people, he ends up hitting the library to read about things that would help him be Haruhi. Like things about Japan. He'd never cared about Japan, but it seemed like he ought to know things on it by now.

After lunch (which he spends tucked away privately in the back of one of the restaurants), he swallows his anxiety and goes to visit Winry. But then he decides to look in on Shiki first at All Passions, like instructed. After that he'll warily enter the smithy, feeling oddly out of place there, to visit Winry. When these 'appointments' are finished, he'll arrive at the Brigade building. Early. Twiddling his thumbs until people arrive. Fortunately he wrote down a cheat sheet for who everyone actually is.

After the meeting (which is probably short), he'll be left with nothing to do for a few hours. That's when he opts to just hit the barracks and try to train. He'll be incredibly frustrated at the fact he seems to have lost his skill at just about everything. While he's not horrible, he's nowhere near his "A Game".

In the evening he faces the second worst part of the day - cooking. Being only skilled at cooking meat, he'll try his darndest to make a decent meal. It will be edible Shiki and Beat, don't worry. It will just be incredibly bland and very heavy on the meat. Sort of a boring exercise in chewing, really. Given that Katara has drilled family dinners into him, he'll be at the table expecting a group dinner.

Later in the evening he'll spend some time on the roof, grumbling about his fate, and working secretly on carving a piece of wood into a new boomerang. Day one was a nightmare. He doesn't think he's going to last another one.]


((OOC: Okay! So lots of teal deer up there. Hit him up at any time during the day. You can forward date stuff to later in the week if you want. His routine will be more or less the same the rest of the week. Replies will come from [livejournal.com profile] wisebent!

MORE IMPORTANTLY this is a body swap plot! It involves some of Haruhi's reality bending powers, so it's not an experiment/Mallynapping thing. As explained here, this means that Sokka and Haruhi's friends shouldn't notice things being that odd. If they do, it's something they'd quickly dismiss. I hope you guys will play along!))

[...she's...actually not surprised that Haruhi tries to move it herself and disregard what Shiki says. But that doesn't stop her from snorting and joining her, getting on the other side of that till.] Yeah, that part where I said we'd do it together? Wasn't kidding.

[Sokka was busy staring off at something else, so when Winry comes back he suddenly double takes. Winry is... taller than him now. Of course she is. He knew she would be. It's just bewildering to once again be reminded of how tiny Haruhi is. Give Winry a weapon and she could be pretty intimidating. She is pretty muscular, after all.]

Huh? Oh, you know, pretty usual day... kind of boring, really. Nothing remotely interesting at all.

[... okay wow, this guy is super tall. Sokka can't help but feel a little wary around him.]

Uh... yeah! That's me. Haruhi Suzu- [Why is he giving her full name, that's stupid.] -miya.

[identity profile] wisebent.livejournal.com 2011-09-06 02:56 am (UTC)(link)
[... yeah, he's just feeling kind of lousy right now, okay.] It's heavier than it looks. [But at least they're able to move it together, even if it's a lot of work.]

[identity profile] crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com 2011-09-06 02:57 am (UTC)(link)
Well maybe I can help it be a little less boring. [She reaches out and gently takes a hold of Haruhi's hand.]

Nice to know people still use last names around here. [Silly Winry.] You remember me, right?

[identity profile] wisebent.livejournal.com 2011-09-06 02:59 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh gosh, Winry is holding his hand and... okay, it's no big deal. Just hand holding.] I.... bet you could. [Smile?]

[Haruhi didn't mention any guys in hats. He racks his brain and then, duh! He doesn't need to go off what Haruhi told him. He remembered seeing this in the journal. So he should probably be... cross.]

You were in her bed. [Yeah! Indignant anger.]
so_shik: (I could give you everything)

[personal profile] so_shik 2011-09-06 03:01 am (UTC)(link)
[Well that's what happens when you switch bodies with a girl, Sokka. But since Shiki doesn't know anything she can't exactly make him feel better. She's actually just assuming Haruhi's pouting because Shiki proved her wrong.] Yeah, tell me about it. [But then there's PUSHING. And loud scraping noises as the till is pushed across the floor. But then..there is success.] Awesome. I've been trying to do this all morning.

[identity profile] wisebent.livejournal.com 2011-09-06 03:03 am (UTC)(link)
[Well he didn't want to! Jeez. At least they managed to get it on their own. He would've resented having to call in for help from someone else. Especially another guy.]

Well, obviously you just needed the Suzumiya touch. [When in doubt, be arrogant!]

[action]

[identity profile] onlyonepath.livejournal.com 2011-09-06 03:04 am (UTC)(link)
Whoa, hey. I thought we were like...I mean, I didn't exactly mean to be there, right? I thought we got all that cleared up. We're cool, like, I'm for you guys.

[identity profile] crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com 2011-09-06 03:04 am (UTC)(link)
[...Okay?] Are you feeling all right?

[action]

[identity profile] wisebent.livejournal.com 2011-09-06 03:05 am (UTC)(link)
[Yeah so he really should've listened in longer than just making sure Winry wasn't in danger. Oops.]

Well. I still don't have to be happy about it.

[identity profile] wisebent.livejournal.com 2011-09-06 03:05 am (UTC)(link)
[Uh oh! She's on to him! Well... he can be honest at least?]

I woke up a little early, that's all. So, ice cream?

[identity profile] crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com 2011-09-06 03:07 am (UTC)(link)
Well if you're tired maybe you should take a nap.

[action]

[identity profile] onlyonepath.livejournal.com 2011-09-06 03:07 am (UTC)(link)
[That merits some thought, and thought says that this is fair.] Yeah, I guess you're right. So like...I was thinking I could make it up to you somehow.

[identity profile] wisebent.livejournal.com 2011-09-06 03:09 am (UTC)(link)
[Sokka wants to go, "YES I WILL NAP NOW." But somehow he thinks Winry would be upset and Haruhi wouldn't do that anyway. Or she'd invite Winry to nap with her and that would be worse.]

I can nap anytime. I'll just get some soda with my ice cream.

[action]

[identity profile] wisebent.livejournal.com 2011-09-06 03:10 am (UTC)(link)
[... not sure if want.] Like how?

[identity profile] crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com 2011-09-06 03:11 am (UTC)(link)
All right, then let's go. [She begins to walk out of the smithy now, hand in hand with who she thinks is Haruhi.]
so_shik: (whatever)

[personal profile] so_shik 2011-09-06 03:16 am (UTC)(link)
The Suzumiya touch, huh. [She just rolls her eyes.] Okay, just make sure the Suzumiya touch stays away from the walls in the upstairs bedroom at the house. We're not painting over it.

[Irvine really is supportive of lesbian relationships, especially if he's invited to join in once or twice. Not that that's ever happened to him.] Well, I dunno. It depends on what you need. I'm good at figuring out peoples' problems.

[identity profile] wisebent.livejournal.com 2011-09-06 03:25 am (UTC)(link)
[It is so weird to be walking side by side with Winry like this. Although right now he's thanking his lucky stars that Haruhi has a girlfriend and not a boyfriend. Sokka would never have been able to do that.]

So... how's your day been?

[identity profile] wisebent.livejournal.com 2011-09-06 03:26 am (UTC)(link)
I'll try, but I make no promises. [Aaand she is failing at being Haruhi. More action, less talk.] Now what?

[action]

[identity profile] wisebent.livejournal.com 2011-09-06 03:28 am (UTC)(link)
[Irvine has a better chance of that happening when Haruhi is Haruhi again. Which is still pretty much no chance in hell. Oh well.] You wouldn't happen to have the power to control souls, would you?

[action]

[identity profile] onlyonepath.livejournal.com 2011-09-06 03:28 am (UTC)(link)
Uh...no, not really.
