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.))

"Isn't that all a little...hokey, though? A little too bibbity-bobbity-boo?"

"And you're gonna use it to make food?"

A beat. A longer beat. A lengthy pause. "That's brilliant."

"Just what can you make the meat out of? Alchemy needs a...fair trade, right?"

Look at her go; actually knowing things. She didn't drop this knowledge facade for just anyone. "In theory, you could feed your household without depending on the Malnosso."
herotypical: [ angry ; wtf ; shock ] (✝ i get the feeling that we are being li)

"Oh. You're only...cooking it? Is it -- is it faster?"

Why not use a microwave?!

Ladies and gentlemen, this was why Buffy Summers was rarely allowed in a kitchen.

"...Does it work for non-meat?"
herotypical: [ snarky ; pout ] (✝ oh for the love of god jack)

"So...meat. Any meat?"
herotypical: [ wtf ; angry ] (✝ god that was dumb)

Oh God. She wasn't even thinking about human meat.

"...I don't have any canniba--"

A pause. Did vampires count? They didn't eat the meat anyway and the two she did play nice with were off people-juice. And then there was Jack, the cannibal king. But she was certain he hadn't...eaten. Anyone.

"That was a joke. Right?"
herotypical: [ neutral ; angry ; arms crossed ] (✝ but it came back)

"...Oh. It is. Absolutely. Mmhm."

And she somehow managed not to mention her aching heart over Giles disappearing. But this conversation did help -- it was hard not to feel a little happier around Sokka.

"Anytime. I'll see you around."
