Sokka the 78th - [Action/Written]

[markofthewise]

[After ditching Ed in the tunnels, Sokka has had some thinking to do. He's lost Suki and now he's lost Edward. His relationship with other people has seemed strained too. When it comes down to it, he doesn't particularly feel bad about this, but he is worried about ending up alone. Being alone is bad. But then, so is the life he had before. Well, if the journals are good for one thing, it's for sorting out dilemmas without giving yourself away. So he heads to the journal, disguises his handwriting, and asks:]

[Written (Disguised)]

If you were changed in a way that made you happier, but pushed other people away, would it be worth staying that way? I mean, it's not worth it to make yourself miserable just for the sake of other people, right? That'd be ridiculous.

[Yeah. Totally ridiculous. That was stupid of him to even ask. He stares at the page, shakes his head, and pushes it away. Later he'll reply to it, but for now, he decides to do work instead of wallowing in pointless contemplation.

For people who might want Sokka in person, he's up to his usual routine.]

You do, but I'm not sure why you're displaying it on the journal right now.

Gives you something very admirable to see.

And far more interesting to discuss than your silly little question, come to that.

I'm getting tons of two types of advice. Over and over. At this point, I'll take anything.

I assume me and my luscious bottom is one type. What's the other? Nauseating twaddle about... I don't know, caring and fluffy kittens and blah blah blah?

Worse. The power of the heart.

[It's terrible, Loki. Terrible.]

[Ink blot.

Pen taps.]

...oh my.

My sympathies.

[Making a mental note to avoid Sora, that kid is obviously crazy.]

It's painful. Not even the ponies are that bad.

[complicatedliar]

I tend to find the ponies pleasantly weird. Or at least the pink one. Not... saccharine.

Does this count as a little girl thing?

[Written]

[complicatedliar]

Little girls like ponies and talk to them in exceedingly high-pitched voices if I recall correctly. It's rather different.

[Written]

[markofthewise]

Oh, naturally. My mistake.

If you ever feel the urge to have a go at one of them with ribbons and a sparkly brush, then you can be worried it's a girl thing.
