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's quiet for a few moments, attempting to understand what he could mean by that. But her mind just draws blanks.]

Controls water?

The sad thing was, Katara didn't really even blink at that question. It was almost normative here. "Actually, yes. There was a huge fire down by C5 and some kind of... singing based attack?"

She didn't really get it, but that was because she hadn't been on the scene. Only heard about things in the aftermath at the Med Lab.

"Apparently she wanted to 'burn all the suffering away.'"

And with that line, she decides she wants a soda too. Cherry Coke. Because 'burn all the suffering away' warranted it.

"But she was stopped and no one died."

Katara rolled her eyes, popping open her own soda can. "Ha, ha. Very funny."

I don't know.

[That's a regular occurrence?]

Why?
corrinesbell: (uh-huh yeah)

Next time I see one I'll put it in your pocket for a while and then you see how much you wanna eat it.

"I'm going to pretend you didn't say that, Sokka. Because that way I don't have to burst out into tears in the middle of my workplace."

She still gets real hyper sometimes. [Aang doesn't mind it, and he can match the energy - but he knows that it can wrack Katara's nerves.] But I don't see how it can get that bad if we each give her just that much a da- [Blink.] wait...
pendantry: (suspicious)

They think it's funny to get everyone wet.

[Raven, however, does not. Especially when she's been switched into some other body.]
metalbends: (Yeah right Sokka)

[Rude.]

Eh, no thanks. I prefer to be the first chewer of my food.

I'm sure you'll have better things to mull over in two hours.

[That... doesn't really sound all familiar. It's not something that she's ever seen before, here or in Panem. But it does make her thoughtful, trying to find some comparison.]

Like magic?
trueknight: ([M] ... Yeah no.)

[personal profile] trueknight 2012-09-21 12:23 am (UTC)(link)
And you'd know that how, exactly?

[He sure has |: It's even more confusing to him, since he's actually good with kids! ... F-from his world, anyway.]

Gummy candy! They come in a lot of fruit flavours, and they're kind of like the gummy worms you had. Only tastier.
mikangirl: (eh what can you do)

...

...close enough. Well. Wanna drink a toast with me?
