markofthewise | Sokka the 71st

[Today, Sokka starts out with some simple messages for the journal.]

I know this is pretty late, but... Luceti has a way of causing delays. I got a lot of orders two months ago and they're all finally finished. If you haven't already picked them up, then... well, you should do that. I think you'll be pleased. [ooc: if you want to assume they already picked this stuff up a while ago, that's fine too!]

So, now that it's nice and warm these days, how do people feel about... fishing? I just made my own fishing rod, so I'm thinking tomorrow morning? Fishing time. On the river, maybe. Or I could bring out one of the boats and head to the lake. Some company wouldn't hurt. As long as you're not the noisy kind. I uh, actually want to catch some fish.

20th

[For today, Sokka works his regular shift at the smithy. From morning until the afternoon, he's at the smithy. There's not much to do now that he's done, so he straightens things out, hangs out on the couch with an alchemy book in his face, or if he gets bored with that... he reaches for his fishing rod under the couch and does a few practice casts. If he thinks no one will catch him doing it. Winry wouldn't approve. 8|

In the afternoon, he'll be around House 56 in the front and back yard, with a can of dirt and pushing over rocks and stones looking for worms underneath. A good fisherman needs his bait, after all! And he wants to be ready for tomorrow!]

21st

[As soon as his sparring practice is over, Sokka sets himself up on the southernmost bridge in town. Sure, it's a little gloomy today, but still time to fish. He has a chair, he has a fishing line, he has a cold box to put fish in, and he has not shortage of snacks and drinks. About ten minutes into his fishing, he gets drenched. Watch as poor Sokka has to gather up his stuff and flee back home. Later when he has an umbrella, he dejectedly heads to the smithy to put in a few hours. And then a few more hours later at the library to do alchemy research. No fishing today. :(]

22nd

[After a rainy day and rainy night, Sokka wakes up to A BIG BEAUTIFUL RAINBOW. He'll try to rush through his morning training, that way he can head to the river west of his house and ready a canoe. With a clear sky above, he's going out to the lake for fishing. There's room enough for two, for anyone eager to join. Following that, he'll be out on the southern lake fishing, cooking fish on the shore for lunch, and enjoying a good solid day off. STRESS FREE.]

I'm sure Toothless would be happy to join you again.

I'm not your dragon babysitter, you know.

Well, I guess I could come, too. But that'd mean I'd need to bring Kyle.

That plan sounds like it ends with us not eating much fish.

Welllll, if you just want to eat fish, there's the grocery store for that.

It's better when you catch them for yourself.

I guess so. To be honest, I've kind of lost my taste for fish.

[Luceti has broken him.]

... you've lost your taste for fish. [Wow, dude. Wow.]

...Yeah, pretty much.

[He knows, he knows.]

You traitor. [He's kidding. OR IS HE?]

What can I say? I'm a terrible viking.

[He's kidding, too.

Unless he's not.]

If you don't like fish anymore, what do you like? Don't tell me you're a vegetarian now.

I might not be a good viking, but I still am one. Of course I'm not a vegetarian.

[Remember that terrifying dish he made for Snoggletog? Yeah.]

Well that's something at least. I'd hate to think we lost you for good.

Hey, and I still do all sorts of other viking-y things. You know. Forging weapons, ahhh, riding dragons...um. And so forth.

[Yeah that's pretty much all he's got.]
