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.]

... Ten apple gels? You seriously ate that many?

I don't get it, Sokka. Why can't something that's funny one time not be funny every other time? [Why he'll never get how the marble trick gets diminishing returns.]
fabrecation: (Not uncomfortable at all)

[Voice]

[personal profile] fabrecation 2012-09-15 01:30 am (UTC)(link)
They're medicine! Just because they don't taste half bad...

[Now that he says some of this she gets the feeling he's trying to back her into a false words corner. Frown.]

You're saying things to change my mind. It's true. I'm cursed.

[Surprisingly few people have disappeared since her arrival.]
fabrecation: (Sigh.  You idiot.)

[Voice]

[personal profile] fabrecation 2012-09-15 01:34 am (UTC)(link)
It's to make it easier to eat. But you can't just have ten of them! You're going to get a hell of a stomachache later.

[He should know. He ate about that much a few years ago at home.]

But I'm usually spontaneous the first time! So that should... carry over? And does that mean you planned too much all those times you said things that weren't really that funny?
trueknight: ([G] Yeah sure okay.)

[Voice]

[personal profile] trueknight 2012-09-15 01:36 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, pretty much. I haven't been staring down the journal all day or anything, but from what I've seen, it's been quiet so far.

[... He'll just stay silent about the whole "oh yeah and i fought alexei but no big deal" thing for now. Mostly because the log just went up.]
pendantry: (blushing)

What? What are you talking about?

[At last, some clarity is starting to come through Raven's heavy raincloud. He's saying he doesn't think she's cursed - or, if he does, he doesn't care enough to do much about it.

Oh.

...Well what does she do now?]
fabrecation: (Scramble)

[Voice]

[personal profile] fabrecation 2012-09-15 01:39 am (UTC)(link)
... Not really, no. Just take it from me; no one needs to eat ten apple gels unless they're badly injured and don't have any lemon or miracle gels with them. It's probably not a good idea even then.

[The sad truth is that might go a lot further with her than him liking her working there. Those kinds of sideways messages always have a bigger affect on this bird.

Seems to be working now, anyway.]


...I guess. But I don't...it can't be in danger because of me.
savedtheworld: (cheeky)

I don't know about that. Airbenders are known for having great sense of humor!

If you take the oreos, those cookies you found with the cream in the center, and crush them so they looks like dirt almost you can make a tasty little treat. If you mix together some milk, chocolate pudding, whipped cream and the oreo bits in a bowl, and then put some of the crushed oreos on the bottom, then the pudding mixture, and then more crushed oreos on top; it looks like dirt. You can stick the gummy worms on top for added special decorative effects too.

[ Helios is smiling on his end. He always made this stuff as a kid. ] It's quite tasty. It's called a cup of dirt in my world.
pendantry: (suspicious)

[When he mentions the couch she looks at it. Recalls passing out on it, not too long ago. Looks back at the inventory list in her hand; sets it down nearby, and starts heading for the door again.]

What do you want?
