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.]

Sokka!

[Aang rushes towards him, coming in for the hug, but... even he has enough sense to skid to a halt when he noticed the handful of swords.]
savedtheworld: (no more work please)

I'm careful. Really careful! [Look, he's standing a few feet away from the pointy things and all.] It's just - I just found out that you're back! How are you, Sokka?
savedtheworld: (eager)

[personal profile] savedtheworld 2013-03-11 08:32 pm (UTC)(link)
It still sounds tiring. [It does make Aang wonder if he should engage in such non-combat missions if that would be the most of this worries.] But I'm glad you're back! I- I already ran into Korra.
savedtheworld: (just a simple monk)

Oh - well that must've been while me and Ikki were at school. [BECAUSE IT'S MONDAY RIGHT.} She definitely did mention you! That's how I knew you were back.
savedtheworld: (bright)

[That he did, even sooner than he knows.]

Yeah... Naga's here now! You met here too? I am glad to finally get to see her! I always wanted to ride a polar bear dog.
savedtheworld: (puppyeyes)

D-don't hurt Naga!
savedtheworld: (chillax)

I hope not! [The way he said it almost sounded like he'd have no other interest in the creature.] We should all take her for a ride instead.
savedtheworld: (laidback)

[personal profile] savedtheworld 2013-03-14 06:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, he was fine! [Maybe a few bathroom accidents here and there.] I think he missed you, too!
savedtheworld: (presenting...)

No problem, Sokka! I love taking care of Cuddlypoops. Sometimes I think he might just miss his mom.
savedtheworld: (no more work please)

Really? You don't mean like... all the time, right?
savedtheworld: (more confused)

[And he looks towards Sokka, slightly uncertain. But Sokka's acting really buddy, so there has to be a point.]

You really think so?
savedtheworld: (Aw c'mon)

[Action]

[personal profile] savedtheworld 2013-03-21 05:54 pm (UTC)(link)
I'd love to help him with that. And you think... cleaning up that is the key to accomplishing this?
savedtheworld: (has a good idea)

[Action]

[personal profile] savedtheworld 2013-03-21 05:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Sokka... I gotta say... That's a pretty brilliant idea. And - and I can make sure to always drop it into the toilet, and maybe that'll help Foo Foo learn to use it!
