Sokka the 77th - [Action/Voice]

[On February Twenty-Fifth, Sokka turned nineteen. On the Twenty-Sixth, he left on a routine mission to work as a mechanic on one of the Malnosso's three space vessels high up in orbit. There was no battle, this time. Just good honest work, people to relate to, and a small bunk to call his own. Seven days, just like that.

On March Fourth, one of the mechanics triggered a malfunction on the hangar doors. The crew quickly fled, just as the power went down. They needed to close the hatch leading to the hallway. But without power, it could only be closed from one side. The one about to be opened up into space. The hero, the stupid hero, closed the door. In those brief moments, he thought that maybe if he reached a Tyr Fighter, he could climb in one of those. He ran. Hard.

He didn't make it.

Today, he fell into the sea, nearly drowning, and was saved by the Avatar. It distracted him from what happened, but now that she was off exploring town, he had the chance to go in his room, get dressed, and collect his weapons. It was a good thing he chose not to bring them. They'd be out floating in space right now, otherwise. One thing was strange, though. He wasn't upset. He wasn't distressed. He could only look back on it and regret that it even happened. That was a week's worth of points he wouldn't be getting. Damn Malnosso cheapskates.

After a bit of cleaning up, he went to go approach this new day. He'd be gone from Luceti for two weeks. People would probably miss him. But his first destination was the smithy.

The only problem was that once he got to the smithy, he found himself looking at the walls. They were barer than he left them. People had been picking up some of the weapons he'd made. Well, that wasn't going to do. He wasn't running a charity here.]


Hey Luceti. Looks like I got back in time for the new feathers to roll in. I'm Sokka. Hope you guys are settling in fine! I run the Slash 'n Crash, the local smithy and weapon shop. I make most of the weapons here. I do take commissions if people want stuff. But since there's no money, just talk to me and we can work out a trade. No point in breaking your back for nothing, right?

Anyway, did I miss anything important?

[For the rest of the day, Sokka can be found at the smithy. Later he does about an hour of catch up work at the library, before going home to dinner. Remarkably enough, he doesn't feel like drinking today.

Today is a good day.]

"That's it?" Just making sure, but she really has no other choice but to believe him. And, if he didn't want to talk about it, then there was really nothing she could do other than drop the subject.

[Oh. Maybe that was why Sokka wasn't in a joking around mood. It was hard for Suki to think about that too.]

Yeah. It's pretty hard to believe. The next Avatar. Have you spoken with Aang yet?

She sighed. That was good. Thinking about Aang dying just felt weird to Suki.

"That's good. It's kinda weird having her around, but she seems like a nice girl. She, um, actually knew who I was." That was pretty exciting for Suki.

Her smile got a bit brighter. "It's not that. I'm just surprised. Out of everyone to remember, I'm one of them? It's really an honor."

[personal profile] ex_tessen852 2013-03-14 05:03 am (UTC)(link)
The thought just made her smile more. "You think?" It was too exciting to think about. "And I bet you'll have one too. Well, in the South Pole."

[personal profile] ex_tessen852 2013-03-14 05:11 am (UTC)(link)
"Can things melt in the South Pole?"

action;

[personal profile] ex_tessen852 2013-03-14 05:15 am (UTC)(link)
"Then you'll just get a new one." That doesn't sound too bad. "But made someone will build one out of wood or something."

action; GO TO BED!

"Wait... what?" This is all news to Suki. She's never heard anything about this.

action; rude

[personal profile] ex_tessen852 2013-03-15 06:21 pm (UTC)(link)
"Wow!" Suki is completely impressed by this. "You become a Councilman? Sokka, that's amazing." It was easy to hear the pride in her voice, and easy to tell that she's starting to confuse this Sokka and her Sokka from home again. It's hard to separate the two.

action;

[personal profile] ex_tessen852 2013-03-16 02:26 am (UTC)(link)
"What else have you found out?" Because Suki has heard nothing, other than the fact Aang and Katara get married and have three children.

action;

[personal profile] ex_tessen852 2013-03-17 01:35 am (UTC)(link)
She nods. "You're right, but... I still kinda want to know at the same time. Even though I know I'll regret asking as soon as I know."

[personal profile] ex_tessen852 2013-03-21 04:56 am (UTC)(link)
Suki doesn't say anything for a moment. For some reason this is hitting a bit too close to home right now. It feels too much like her situation with Sokka, so she decides to change the topic a bit.

"Well, it still interesting to find out about the other stuff. Like Republic City."
