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.]

Says my information guy?

Or here, when I got back. I missed you.

But Katara just shrugged one shoulder, almost a twitch. "You were on your own mission. Shikamaru and Masaomi were with me. Don't feel bad about that."

"What? Katara? On a date? No way!"

But the half-smirk suggested that Buffy might very well approve. "Did she have fun? Or am I not allowed to ask that and should I instead ask you how we're gonna co-plan to break the guy's fingers?"

"We didn't know."

She sighed and stared down into her soda.

"I just - thought it was important. I thought I might be able to talk with some of them, and I was, but... not everyone here is willing or able to hold back in a fight. And I can do that."

Hold back - not kill. Ha. Such a different perspective than what she once had.

[She can't imagine what that must be like. Having a sibling that can do magic while you can't. But then, he doesn't sound jealous.]

You could look in the shop for another one of these machines. Then you don't have to wait on her for the crushed ice.

"...Was it one of those very serious dates or just a let's-have-coffee-and-split-a-sundae dates?"

Sure. Just keep thinking that way. And don't do that with the gels again, what if we run out?

[He's worried about being bored, huh?]

I can tell you stories!

I guess not, everyone who is working for me gets benefits.

So that's two against however many people out there would be willing to back me up. Not very good chances, I'll tell you that now.

Good luck with that. Maybe you can balance out all the sugar with chips and crackers in the mean time.

That'd be pretty smart. [Except it would sacrifice that feeling that comes from being the "cool" older figure to bestow a gift upon the tiny creature! Aang pauses.] Unless we can set up something to keep track of what we each give her?
