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.]

[ ...before her evening is interrupted (later) by that creeptastic drusilla invite, buffy is chilling at the bar.

y'know.

working.

and maybe also avoiding her house. just a little bit.

either way, she's very happy to see sokka step in. so happy, in fact, that she's popping her way over the counter. there might be a hug in your near future, boy. ]

[Inventory, did you say? Someone's in the middle of doing just that! For the second day in a row, because she finds inventory boring as watching crops grow and can't manage to keep doing it for huge stretches of time.

At least she notices him come in.]


You're back.
fourteen: (um,thanks? → on my back and)

[Oh hey, Sokka's back. He was wondering where he--

--oh, he found the gels, huh. ... Wait, "tingly"? Oh god, Sokka ...
]


... You seriously ate ten gels just now?

[He won't die from it or anything, he knows that, but ... really now.]

The puzzle machine? I usually try to get a different snack every time I go there! I never imagined that chocolate could be bent into so many different snacks!
magentarific: (♛ that's what they've)

You're from a time before snacks were like five hundred calories for a little candybar. If you eat like five of those a day you'll be 500 pounds in 5 years!
fourteen: (huff → you are means solitude)

[ MAKES A FACE. ]

You know what I mean!

[ A beat. ]

Wait... did you say something about gels? [ That sounds familiar... ]
pendantry: (always alone)

[Shrug.]

It looks empty. They took things.

[Did she really just hear that?]

If you end up with some kinda weird too-many-gels sickness, I'm telling Raine not to save you. They're not snacks.
trueknight: ([S] You don't say ...)

[.................. SOKKA STOP. YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE TP.]

Orange gels too, huh. [ ... ] I hope you know you're gonna feel like hell pretty soon. Gels are medicine, not candy.

[ actually, y'know what? she settles for a semi-demure arm clasp rather than the full on hug. ]

You, apparently. Being here. Once again. [ some GOOD NEWS for once. ]
fourteen: (bzuh? → I'm a heart that barely beats)

[voice]

[personal profile] fourteen 2012-09-15 12:35 am (UTC)(link)
That sounds really familiar...

[ Wait. ]

... Sokka, I think those are healing items! [ She's heard Luke mention them before. ]
pendantry: (curious)

Why do we need to lose it again?
