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.]

Pick up some peppermints if you can find them. More candy might sound dumb, but it has a carminative agent that helps with that.

[Things he found out while looking after a pregnant woman, BUT WORKS HERE.]

Exactly. They finally let me in 'cause otherwise I would've kicked their sorry butts. And then I totally swept my first tournament. No one even stood a chance against me. Undisputed champion.

Leonardo Da Vinci was THE Renaissance Man. Plus you don't really have a last name.

[Sora's just going to put a hand on his face.]

Yeah, I think I'd definitely remember you now.

[It's meant as a joke.]

I think she's just good at stuff that lets her hit other stuff really hard! [ you know, the opposite of avoidance airbending ]

Well, I like that about her! She's funny, y'know? I don't mind getting launched in the air buuuuuut I did sorta mind when she slammed a door in my face. [ GRUDGE WHAT GRUDGE no seriously what grudge she's already moving on to the next topic ] Daddy talked to her about Grandpa having trouble with one bending type, too, y'know? I guess they're all reaaaaaaally different but there's always one that's the most differentest.

I only haveta know the one, though, so I dunno! I like being an airbender.

But you haveta train for lots of other things, don't you? Like with your boomerang and sword and making things at the blacksmith!

Huh? Why isn't it true anymore? The only time I hear people getting new last names is if they get married. Did you get married, old man?

That did sound rather cool. As did the simple implication of one boomerang against a Cultist. More importantly? Against the General. Nip in, clip the wing, don't even have to get near him...

Don't even have to have his blood anywhere close to her.
