Sokka the 68th - [Voice/Action]

[markofthewise]

[This morning, Sokka received a message through his journal. One he hadn't quite been expecting after everything that had happened last week. After pondering over it a bit, he inevitably was drawn to the journals to talk about it.]

You have to give the Malnosso credit. They drop a moon on the village and then they expect us to go show up to work for them like nothing ever happened. And it's... Farm Security. So I don't even get to do anything exciting. I get to a place I've already been, to make sure that 'our' food supplies don't get attacked. Yeah. That's great, "CJ". I'm really appreciating that. [He groans.] Well anyway, looks like I report at nine in the morning tomorrow. Apparently I'll be gone for five days. I'll take my journal, but apparently it won't work while I'm there. Guess I'll find out.

... so, I'm not the only one who signed up, right?

Oh. And Hiccup... keep an eye on the smithy. [Normally he'd ask Winry to do that. But things are a little... different with them lately. So he's not exactly jumping at the chance to go and have a public conversation with her. Or private, really.

For anybody who wants to run into him, Sokka will be doing his normal stuff at the smithy. He's making some preparations for needing to fight, since at this point he has only the Malnosso's word that this is less dangerous than a draft. Even though it's starting to get too cold for it, he'll eat his lunch out in the plaza like he always does. Other than that, he'll be spending his day as normally as he can. Come home for a normal dinner, tell some bad jokes to his housemates, and spend some time with his gal. In the morning, he'll head out.]

Riiight. So you just fall in love with every girl you run into by coincidence.

[voice / private]

[generalflirt]

Heeey, it's more than that! There's attraction at play! The spring of youth!! Love's a complicated thing, you know!

[voice / private]

[markofthewise]

I think I know that pretty well. And I've managed to limit myself to one girl.

[voice / private]

[generalflirt]

And how noble, how lucky you are! But really, all sorts of girls are all over me, Sokka! To only praise one would be a travesty! Someday though, someday~ I'll have my own cute girlfriend.

[voice / private]

[markofthewise]

You won't if you can't just pick one girl. [You'll just get angry and bitter and start smoking a lot.]

[voice / private]

[generalflirt]

Then, what if I picked Katara?

[INNOCENTFAICE]

[voice / private]

[markofthewise]

I'm being serious. [Since obviously he wouldn't be picking Katara.]

[voice / private]

[generalflirt]

What if I'm serious!?

[voice / private]

[markofthewise]

[Groan.] I'd like to think Katara has better taste than that. [And that Jet was just a fluke. Nothing more.]

[voice / private]

[generalflirt]

Well, you're right, she probably does.

[voice / private]

[markofthewise]

[Sorry Masaomi, but this isn't a thing he will feel bad about!]

Buuut, I'm sure there's some girl out there, waiting for you to, you know, decide she's the one and not the one of many.

[voice / private]

[generalflirt]

Maybe I should just ask her out anyway!

[With mock indignity]

[voice / private]

[markofthewise]

Sure. Knock yourself out. [He's reasonably certain Katara will shoot him down.

... somewhat certain.

Er.]

But I wouldn't bother wasting my time if I were you.

[voice / private]

[generalflirt]

Third time's the charm!!

[And then he hangs up.

Leaving it at that]
