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.]

[....Naoki was mentally facepalming. This guy reeked of a certain attitude a devil slayer had.]

None of the above.

All that I heard was that you were a swordsman, and taught by someone here. I already asked him for training, and he's supposed to talk to you about having a new training partner.

That, and the guy who owned the weapon shop.

[Naoki shrugs.]

It's what he said. I'm no stranger to getting my hands dirty in a fight.

[Bloody too, but best to leave that part out for obvious reasons.]
heavensmostwanted: (...ah crap)

I requested to be trained by him when I heard he taught you. I'd rather learn from a master than a student.
heavensmostwanted: (something's up...)

I'm sorry about his behavior ;-; guy has been extra angry

You confuse me with someone who cares. All I wanted to do was introduce myself. Name's Naoki.
heavensmostwanted: (something's up...)

Luceti Grumps! Well, least he didn't find out about Naoki snagging free weapons...yet :3

[That one earned a raised eyebrow.]

If that's supposed to be some snappy comeback, I fail to see the meaning in that.
