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.]

[Tenzin.]

You might have a point there. He's still kinda funny in his own way.

[See, this? This is much better. Better words, for one thing; the thunderstorm scowl turns back into her regular slightly-annoyed frown.

For you to stay, huh?]


From the grocery.

It's - it was real funny whenever he got nervous. And Jinora only looks serious. I bet she's been secretly reading jokebooks and getting ready to attack our humors when we least expect it.
breezing: (+ THIS WILL BE SO MUCH FUN.)

[ Okay wow Ikki listened to the entire list of vending machine contents without saying a word because look at all of that but once he's finished she's pretty much going to answer with way too much volume and energy as per usual. ]

Sugar paste? Is that allowed? Are the apple gels like the fruit gummis Katara gets? Ewwwwwwwwww, is it a real worm covered in candy or is it shaped like that? Why would you shape a candy like a worm?? What do the fish crackers taste like do you think you could like put them in pudding and it would be like the ocean and they'd be the little fishies and then you could add like - like - those loooooong fruit strips for kelp and that would be delicious right? Do the two cookies count as one cookie or two cookie why aren't all cookies two cookies can I have one maybe it looks delicious I've never ever tried a vending machine was it fun?

[personal profile] folklorist 2012-09-15 01:53 am (UTC)(link)
Hm. It's fun seeing what you can make when you put a few simple things together! I suppose people just...got creative and, well, tried something different.

Almost like a science project with food. [ But Sokka is it delicious and everyone should eat dirt. It is healthy and scrumptious. ] I never even realized the Battle Dome had vending machines in them...

Okay.

[One sandwich. Halfway there she'll realize they might not sell completed sandwiches. Oh well, going to try anyway. One way or the other, she is returning with that sandwich, damn it.

Until then Sokka is free to wonder what the hell just happened in there.]

I wouldn't put it past my granddaughter to come up with the funniest jokes ever. And while you're there Sokka, can you grab me some snacks to try?
pendantry: (secrets)

[When she comes back, bringing a bag full of edible things, she's doing her best to pretend that last freak out did not happen.]

Here. [It's your standard meat-loaded sandwich on a bun. Any fool would know how much Sokka loves meat. In the bag is also an orange and a soda.]
breezing: (= considering this.)

[ Failed to filter a candy demonstration from the youngest member of his household. This answer is suspicious, Uncle Sokka! ]

You looked like you were having fun! And you said the gummis were refreshing! Even if you did break snack rules 'cause that's a lot of snacks!
savedtheworld: (tired)

[Voice]

[personal profile] savedtheworld 2012-09-15 02:07 am (UTC)(link)
Aw man, what silly rules. I guess I'll just have to try them myself next time I'm at the Dome. I should try that sugar-middled cookie thing.
savedtheworld: (smallsmile)

[Voice]

[personal profile] savedtheworld 2012-09-15 02:12 am (UTC)(link)
They have ones with chocolate paste? I have gotta check them out!
breezing: (= uh.)

[ What really? Sudden actual concern. ]

You should drink water! And lay down! Oh, or tea! Tea is good! I can make some?? An' maybe blankets?
pendantry: (always alone)

[personal profile] pendantry 2012-09-15 02:14 am (UTC)(link)
[Snort-mmh sound. Yes. She also made one for herself and she's sitting down at the far end of that couch to eat it if that's not a big deal for you Sokka.]

They only have ingredients.

[Seeing this guy go on about oreos and strange sticky candy being in vending machines makes Sora think of a very, very, important question.]
