Sokka the 74th - [Action/Voice]

[THE FIRST DAY.]

[Two weeks. It's a long time to be on a mission, but Sokka has no regrets. The mess with Kin'cora had gotten to him and he found a kind of relief in working with other people from other enclosures. There was a lot of talk among him and the others. He spread the word. Maybe it wouldn't do Luceti much good, given he learned very little, but the more the others knew, the better. But boy was he glad to be back in Luceti. When he emerges from the tunnels at around 6PM, he's tired out from a hard day of work, but it's a good kind of tired. He makes going home his first priority. He'll miss dinner, inevitably, but with any luck there's leftovers. Catching up with the others takes a few hours before he ever breaks away to wander the village.

What's on the agenda? Hitting up the smithy to see where things are at. He never got to find out how much was lost after the Kin'corans left, so it's time to see if one of his minions smithy buddies took an inventory. And you know, he wants to check in on them too. That's cool. Also, he heads to Good Spirits because he was informed very sternly by one of his buddies on the mission that the only proper way to end a hard day's work is a good stiff drink. Sokka, the adult that he is, was inclined to agree. THAT IS HIS ENTIRE DAY.

But there is another.]

[DAWN OF THE NEXT DAY]

[Sokka wakes up and does his usual morning routine and goes to NOT the smithy, but the BATTLE DOME. That's right. Record scratch. After talking to the main console for awhile, he heads into one of the rooms and in something that takes some finagling at first, he starts... building a sub. A holographic sub. One that is small enough to fit into his hand, but can expand if he gives the command, so he can work on specific details. It's like working on a blueprint, but in 3D. His nights on his mission had been spent trying to recreate the submarine made by the Mechanist. He's been steadily improving on the design, specifically built to be powered by waterbending, but done in a way to streamline the process and make it faster. And sturdier. He's not sure it will be easy to build with Luceti's technology, but...

Well, Haruhi got him excited. And he spends the better half of the day on this. Because of the Dome time limit, he's constantly seen going in and out to restart the program or grab a snack. For those hoping to fight, this is probably annoying, since there's only six chambers that tend to get used a lot. At one point during the day, he loses the dome to some short and grumpy guy, so Sokka turns to the journal.]


Has anyone really tried the stuff in these vending machines before? I mean, I usually just get a soda or something, but this stuff is amazing. Like... look at these. [He lifts up an oreo to the camera.] It's two cookies, but with some kind of paste between them. But the paste tastes like sugar! And then there's these! [Sokka lifts up an red lump of candy.] Apple gels. They're great, although I don't think they taste like real apples. There's something unusually refreshing about them. I had about ten just now and it made my fingers all tingly. Actually, I'm kind of feeling tingly all over and-- [Sokka looks away and spots something else] Oh! And check this out! [He pulls out a WORM. A multicolored worm.] It's a CANDY worm. I was thinking I could use it for fishing, but it's actually kind of tasty. Oh, and then there's these fished shape crackers...

[He'll go on like this for awhile. People can listen or ignore him, but he'll be casually highlighting the awesome contents of the Battle Dome vending machines.

He'll be coming home later with the stomach ache from hell.]

[She steps back, hands on his shoulders and looks up at him.]

Are you sure?

[You didn't go and die again?]
heartisabattleground: (What was that!?)

[personal profile] heartisabattleground 2012-09-16 02:48 am (UTC)(link)
Really? And you haven't left?

Apparently I've been here four times and I forgot each one!

[One final searching look.]

Okay. Good.

[She drops her hands and steps back.]

I'm glad.
trueknight: ([M] Uh ...)

[... Oh. Well. He doesn't even need to be a dad to know how bad that could be.]

Can't you put a lock on this before she sees it?

A farmer. ...Sort of. [Micah is...a lot of things. It is so impossibly complicated. Raven shrugs.]

A friend. From Sharance.

Nope. I'm a figment of your imagination.

What are you drinking?

"...Rolling in the fake-dough. How long before you start pulling up in hovercrafts and forgetting all us little people?"

"...No way. We'll sit you down and watch Das Boot and you'll have any dreams of submarine owning wiped entirely from your mind. That's a promise."
herotypical: [ snarky ; happy ] (✝ i wanted you to feel my pain)

"Boot. It's German for..."

Oh. It so wasn't important.

"Seriously? And you...happened to call them submarines, as well?"

[When Sokka comes home with his killer stomach ache, guess who's going to be ready to greet him?]

Hey, Snoozles! You're back!

[...And taking into account how he's currently holding himself...]

Umm...are you dying?
breezing: (& jinora: YAY!)

I don't get sick that much! 'Specially not tummy aches! But that's the rule at home if we're not well.

We couldn't afford it. [There's a small little smile on her face as she talks. It hurts, yes, to remember. But it's kind of nice to remember as well. The better times spent with her family, amid the hunger and the threats of Panem.] But we used snow, too. With maple syrup on top.

Rick said that they were like snow cones. He gave me a machine to make them here.
trueknight: ([M] Mildly intrigued!)

[personal profile] trueknight 2012-09-16 09:57 pm (UTC)(link)
She found it, huh? [ ... ] Well, just find a way to make her not interested in all that stuff, and you should be fine.

[His tone makes it sound so like that's supposed to be easy. Probably because he could turn "terrifying children" into a career.]

The raincoat was very nice and not floppy. If it was floppy I would've been flashing you all day. I'm definitely not wearing it anymore either.

[What is that multicolored abomination Sokka has in his hand]

Why would anyone make a shitty candied worm? [The cookies he can understand, but...]
