Sokka the 82nd - [Action]

[markofthewise]

When Sokka woke up in the smithy, he was, to say the least, concerned. He had apparently died and gone to weapon heaven. And then of course, there was some horrible saber-toothed moose lion on the floor next to him. Feeling rather panicked, Sokka scooped up his boomerang (and the awesome looking sword next to it) and snuck out of the smithy without waking it up. Upon examining the boomerang, he noted it was strange how it had a few extra notches and scratches to it, like it had seen some rough times. That worried him.

The town proved even more mind blowing. It was huge. Buildings raising up beyond what he could imagine and there were so many people and houses. And not a single inch of snow. In fact, he felt rather hot and he immediately had to shed his parka. He felt lost and confused and was worried about where the rest of his tribe was. Where was Katara? Or Gran-Gran? He needed to find them. And thus he began to explore town, from one shop and house to another. Sneakily.

At some point, Momo comes landing on his shoulder. A nice lemur. A nice delicious lemur. Sokka easily catches it (since it doesn't resist).

"Mmm. Hello meat. You're just in time for lunch!"

And so with lemur in tow, Sokka made a short stop in the woods, making ready to start a fire and cook a lemur. It would be wise to stop him. Otherwise, he'll be searching the town for people from his tribe and you know, a reason for why he has wings now.

[ Okay, Ikki is SORT OF clear on what's going on now, at least. And at least one or two people in her house seem to be clear of whatever-it-is, although grandpa is twelve and Zuko has weird hair. She's still working on locating the people she knows to figure out who's weird and who isn't.

Despite looking a lot younger, Sokka's about the same from above. ...At least, he has the coloring and the water tribe clothes, and Ikki can spot Momo anywhere. Mark one more down in the crazy column, and where is he taking Momo.

Obviously this requires investigation, so she'll drop down to follow on foot, staff in one hand. Soren sticks to the skies. ]

Hey! What're you doing to Momo???

[ She does not say "Uncle Sokka" only because Ikki has by this point learned that arguing about how she knows people when people are experimented on is pretty pointless and also what are you doing to her grandpa's lemur you heathen. ]

[swordbends]

[Oh. It's a little kid and not one of the ones from home. He's suddenly less interested. Even though Momo does try to pry free from Sokka's hands. No luck there.]

Who's Momo?

[breezing]

My lemur that you're holding! [ Because yes she's claiming Momo if he's in any sort of danger. He's technically a family pet it works!

Ikki points her glider staff at Sokka. ] Right there.

[swordbends]

[He casually pushes her staff away.]

Sorry little girl, I found it first. But you can have the tail if you want. I hate tail meat.

[Suki, a young, beautiful warrior, catches the young sexist Water Tribe boy. Though Suki doesn't recognize him, his outfit does look like a Water Tribe one, or at least from what she has been told. Not to mention he looks like he's carrying a flying lemur. Suki had only heard about them.]

Hey you. [She called out to the stranger.] Do you know what you're carrying?

[swordbends]

[When Sokka looks at her, he doesn't know what to make of that... ridiculous outfit. Sure, it's kinda neat. But a little much. And the makeup? Huh.]

It's a cat monkey, obviously.

[He smirks at her because wow, how do you not know that.]

[ex_tessen852]

I'm pretty sure that's not a cat-monkey. The ears are too big. [You're kinda stupid.]

[swordbends]

It's just a different kind of cat monkey. Obviously. [Jeez, girls don't know anything.]

[savedtheworld]

[Aang sees that strange boy walking through town but more importantly sees what he's carrying. And he practically zeroes in on it.]

LEMUR!

[swordbends]

[Sokka makes sure the lemur is out of grabbing range for Aang.]

Get your own.

[savedtheworld]

Why?

[swordbends]

Because I found it first.

action; while he's being a sneaky sneak

[ahappylie]

[Soujirou noticed the stranger trying to sneak around the village, and he started to follow after him. A man sneaking usually was either up to no good or he knew something he didn't want others to find out about. If Soujirou followed him, maybe he'd lead the child to somewhere important - or safe.

Keeping a fair distance back, he darted from trees to buildings, peering around at the strange teenager and moving when he did.]

action; gasp!

[swordbends]

[At this moment, Sokka was sneaking into the clothing shop. Completely oblivious to being followed, because he was never taught about checking to see if he was being followed. But he ends up standing in the doorway, gawking at all the clothes.]

... whoa.

action; NINJA TRAINING IS NEXT, SOKKA

[ahappylie]

[The boy stopped in the doorway and Souji found himself stuck in the middle of the road. He stood stock still, watching as the stranger stared inside. The building had to be important - maybe it had clues? There were signs posted up along the walls, but they were too tall for Souji to see easily.

He paused for a moment, then cautiously began to creep forward, standing on tiptoe to look in through one of the windows. His hands barely catch the edge of the sill and he struggles to pull himself up to see.]

Nngh....

action; DAMMIT...

[swordbends]

[Well. He heard that. Blinking, he steps back and looks at the window. Er.]

Uh. Need a little help there?

It's the fire that catches her attention. The smoke drifting through the trees, the glow flickering through bushes if she looks in the right direction. Daylight means that the fire isn't for warmth or light. Though it's no longer summer in Luceti, it's not the cold winter season yet. But it's time to start stocking up, to spend more time in the woods hunting than time in the village.

And it's easier, much easier to be alone. To give herself time to think, time to forget for a few moments that she's still here. The talking animals have long since stopped bothering her. These woods have almost become home.

Curious, Katniss quietly makes her way towards the fire. She's dressed in her typical brown leather jacket and sturdy dark pants, boots laced tightly and hair back in a braid. She carries her bow in one hand, a quiver with arrows carefully resting between the mockingjay wings on her back. Her steps are silent, that of a natural hunter.

Until she comes to a quick stop in the clearing. She recognizes the boy. Doesn't understand why he looks... younger. Or why he's trying to cook that terrifying lemur she had met months ago. One of his pets.

"You'll regret that."

[swordbends]

The lemur was tucked under his arm, so it wouldn't escape. But it seemed completely unconcerned that Sokka was in the process of sharpening a knife that he intended to kill the lemur with.

Her arrival surprises him, but he tries to play it off cool.

"Yeah... well...! Why?"

[stillplaying]

She tilted her head at the lackluster response. That wasn't like him. To be so... so incapable of formulating a better comeback. But then again, as far as she knew, it wasn't like him to kill one of his pets. Unless he lost his conscience again. But she knew exactly what he had been like the last time it had happened. Knew far, far too intimately.

This was something else.

He looked younger. And that made no sense. "Because he's your pet."

[swordbends]

Sokka looked at Momo, then back to whoever this woman was. Well. This was going to be weird.

"... yeeeeeah. I don't keep cat monkeys as pets."

[degozaruyo]

[The food here is foreign and it smells...strange, even if it is supposedly free. Kenshin is hungry but he doesn't trust what's on offer, so he decides to go with something he recognizes: an apple.

He's sitting on a stoop near the store, chowing down and people watching, looking deceptively relaxed. His sword is leaning against the wall next to him, at the ready.

He raises an eyebrow when a boy a few years younger than him starts struggling with what looks like a cross between a bat, a monkey, and a rabbit.]

I think you'll find an easier meal over there.

[He points to the store where he'd acquired the apple.]

Apparently the food is free.

[Now if he could only find some sake to help with his growing headache.]

[swordbends]

[It's a brief struggle, at least. Because when Momo does get free, he just ends up sitting on Sokka's head instead. A problem Sokka quickly fixes.]

Yeah, I'm not going to fall for that. Free food is the oldest trick in the book. [Hello? Trap.]

[waterbraids]

Suffice it to say that waking up in what Katara could only assume was a bed in a house that was not made out of snow was a little startling. But she wasn't an idiot; she didn't scream, even though she wanted to. Her clothes were much too big for her, and as she padded quietly over to the closet, she couldn't help but notice the blue tones in the room. This couldn't be the Earth Kingdom or the Fire Nation, then, but it sure wasn't the South Pole. In the very back of the closet, she found something that was not only her size, but seemed to be her parka - it had to be her parka, she remembered the stitching of it.

This was very frightening, but she knew she had to be brave. She didn't know how to use any weapons, and she wasn't at all sure she could rely on her waterbending in a fight - it felt different here. Muffled somehow. - so she grabbed the large stick she saw in the corner. At least she could hit someone with it -- oh, and a waterskin. She'd take that too, because it was worth a shot.

So armed, she proceeded to inspect the house where she was... only to find it ridiculous. It made no sense at all. Where was she? And where was Gran-Gran and Sokka?

Finding the door unguarded, and so armed, so began to make her way through Luceti...

[swordbends]

Sokka had not yet captured a lemur for his meal yet, but he was still exploring Luceti. He kept his boomerang in hand and the sword strapped over his shoulder. Every now and then he would pull it out and admire it because it was so cool. He just wished he didn't find it here. Wherever here was. Gosh, it was so warm. Just how far away was he?

He stopped at the bridge just north of the Avatar House. There was nothing particularly of interest about it, but Sokka had stopped on it to look over the edge. He could make out fish in the water and he found himself wishing he had his spear with him. Neither a sword or a boomerang was particularly useful for fishing. And now his stomach was rumbling.

[waterbraids]

Over in the distance Katara thought she saw something familiar. She approached cautiously and then threw caution to the wind. "Sokka!"

She ran towards him.
