Sokka the 70th - [Action/Voice]

Okay, I just need everyone's attention for a minute. At least, those of you who, you know, like weapons.

I'm Sokka and I guess you could say I'm in charge of the weapon shop and smithy. I've been working with Leon Geeste, who is a kind of master alchemist guy, to make even better weapons. With his crests and my weapons, we can add a kind of magical element to them now. For instance, a sword can be given a fire element and that will make the blade burn and make it deadlier. Or a spear could be given an ice element that will freeze around the target a little. And, you know, other stuff. There's earth, air, and lightning elements too.

Anyway, these aren't always the easiest things to make, but... if it's a thing you want, we can do it. We've got stuff already made, but we can do something custom too. But just be practical, right? Sure, we might be able to figure out how to put crests into a hundred arrows. But we might also decide to, you know, have social lives too. These crests work best with a single weapon that you'll keep reusing. I can uh, explain it better, if you need me to.

[With that announcement out of the way, Sokka will hang out at the smithy until dinner time. He wants to be there and ready in case anyone wants these cool new unique weapons. Unless, of course, no one shows up. In which case he'll be at his work desk converting his alchemy notes into code, which is proving to be his least favorite thing to do ever. He kind of hates Ed now for telling him he had to do this. But it's what he has to do if he wants to prevent the secrets of meat alchemy from falling into the wrong hands. Who knows what people could do with that kind of power!

After closing up shop and doing his usual dinner at home, Sokka will be unusually taking a walk around the village in the evening. He's actually got a lot on his mind and without smithing or alchemy to occupy his thoughts, he's stuck on the Masaomi problem. He's half hoping that he'll run into the guy on the streets, but he's still not entirely sure how to approach the problem. Before the evening's over, he'll end up at Good Spirits, concerned and drowning his thoughts into a nice tall glass of... hot chocolate. Because that's what men do. Drink tall cups of hot chocolate with tiny marshmallows and whipped cream.]

((ooc: Some more details on the crafted weapons can be found over here.))

Oh! Wait! You're talking about the draft! I agree! That's a pretty convenient tool they have! [ She didn't think about that. She just thought of regular, average day village life. She has to try it sometime! ] Though, I'm not sure who the blue guy is? Mind explaining about him?

I've been here since September. So maybe if he's ever talked since then you can jog my memory? [ Cause what she's picturing right now is the world's shortest navi and she's pretty sure that's inaccurate. ]
weaponry: (No Neji. That's not how weapons work.)

[ Tenten opens her mouth as if she's going to say something about the Locked community and the guide that was recently passed around but she realizes she can't. She quickly flips to a new topic. ]

Oh! Him! I know who you're talking about. I've tried making heads and tails of this whole confusing thing but there's too many parties with too many motives. It's an entire mess. Diagraming it was no help.

Boy, I'll say. Just how long did it take for you to finally be able to comprehend and keep track of all of this?
weaponry: (that is the dumbest thing i've heard)

[personal profile] weaponry 2012-03-06 02:44 am (UTC)(link)
[ WHOA WHOA WHOA SLOW DOWN. ]

Wait! You guys did what!? [ .....Did she really hear what she just heard. ]

You were bait? So you were kidnapped for others to find you? [ Man. That's a humiliating but necessary role. ]
weaponry: (oh hey an icon where she's not 13)

[personal profile] weaponry 2012-03-06 05:50 am (UTC)(link)
That's not a particularly bad trade off! I bet you did several really cool things with it! Was there anything interesting you learned from this? Or is it strictly confidential? [ She hasn't forgotten that this place is like its own blessing and probably the biggest reason why anyone is fucked over. They check these things constantly, after all. Who's to say that they don't use these to plot mallynappings or something similar? ]

Is there any first hand accounts I can see? Or people I can talk to or something? [ She's curious. She wants to research and meddle in just about every type of Malnosso business ever! ]

[ ooc: My apologies for the lateness with the previous tag!!! I was just overwhelmed with an irl task list yesterday!

The last name in particular catches her attention. ]


Minato? Do you know his last name?! [ That's the name of the Fourth Hokage! ]
weaponry: (that is the dumbest thing i've heard)

[personal profile] weaponry 2012-03-08 06:56 am (UTC)(link)
[ ooc: SCREAMS. How did you know I like Tsunade so much...?! And that the new chaptere came out today?! ]

[ Oh. So the Fourth Hokage wasn't here. That's... sort of disappointing. ]

Huh. Well, at least the dull and boring part means I'll get an unadulterated view, right?
weaponry: (IS IT A BIRD?! A PLANE?!)

[ ooc: oops. Sorry for the spoilers then. Nice pun though! ]

Eh. I've stayed awake through more boring things. He can't be that dry. [ Flower picking class sucks ignore what Ino has to say about it!!!!!! ]
weaponry: (No Neji. That's not how weapons work.)

[personal profile] weaponry 2012-03-11 09:00 pm (UTC)(link)
I will. [ She gives a hearty, serious, nod. ] Thank you for the direction, Sokka.
