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.

Riiight. And just because I have wings, I'm going to start believing in everything and anything anyone ever tell me. Ooh, do you think ghosts are going to come get us now? Please. You're even more ridiculous than my sister.

[Just gonna ignore the part about Momo.]

[swordbends]

[Momo stares blankly at Aang, because all he hears is WAH WAH WAH WAH. Then he looks at Sokka. And then at absolutely nothing six inches to the right of Sokka's head.]

I eat a lot of things that don't want to be eaten. It's called survival.

[swordbends]

Looking around? What are you doing?

[Because hiding behind the building is totally not suspicious.]

[ex_tessen852]

First, I'm not going to believe everything I hear. I'm not an idiot. And your sisters sounds like she has more sense than you do.

[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?"

[swordbends]

[And to think, he thought this girl was pretty. All she does is argue. Yeesh...]

Don't you have other people to bother? Or play dress up with?

[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."

action;

[ahappylie]

...Looking. ...Around.

[He looked to the side and found an escape route, then looked back at the stranger.]

Are you lost like everyone else?

[savedtheworld]

No, that's called being mean! I've seen plenty of trees and plants around here with fruits and berries, so you don't need that lemur to survive!

[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]

So what's your point?

[Sure, that stuff is here... not home. And he feels no remorse about meat.]

action;

[swordbends]

Lost? Please. I know exactly where I am.

[SOOO LOST. I WANT MY GRAN GAN.]

[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."

[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.]

[savedtheworld]

That you should let him go and find something else to eat!

action;

[ahappylie]

....

It isn't nice to lie to children. It'll give you bad karma that will follow you like that black shadow.

[He points over Sokka's shoulder, even if he's lying too, he says it with the straightest face ever. Whatevers.]

[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.

[swordbends]

Blink. He recognized that voice. Sokka turned around and when he spotted Katara, his expression was one of immediate relief. And he was happy and as he started running to her, he was all ready to hug her.

But then he realized that warriors don't hug and that would be incredibly lame.

So he stopped short of that and crossed his arms and made himself appear taller.

"There you are! I've been looking all over for you!"

[swordbends]

Sorry, little buddy. But this is the only normal animal I've found to eat so far. I found it first. And I gotta get back to my tribe, so I need my strength to do that.

action;

[swordbends]

Please. There's no such thing as karma. And I'm not lying. This is... the clothing store. Obviously.

action;

[ahappylie]

Yes there is,

[Clothing store. He looks up at the window and then points to a place across the street.]

What is that.

[savedtheworld]

No way! There's a whole town over there - why don't we look around there first? The house I woke up in had plenty of food around, too! Some of it was just in an ice-box. What kind of tribe are you from, anyway?

[waterbraids]

Whatever, older brother, you ran towards her so now you have to be hugged, even if your arms are crossed. Let's hope that the big stick she's carrying doesn't accidentally hit you in the head.

But then-- "You've been looking all over for me!? I've been looking all over for you!"
