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.

Sokka let out a weak 'ow' as the stick clonked him on the head. Even as he accepted the hug with a complete lack of enthusiasm. Sisters, yeesh. He carefully extracted himself from any potential humiliation.

"Of course I have. You, Gran-Gran, and everyone." He then looked over her shoulder and frowned. "... so you have them, too."

[It was the library. But from this far away, Sokka couldn't read the sign. And he really had no idea what a library was even like anyway.]

Um. It's somebody's house.

[swordbends]

Southern Water Tribe. And we don't just steal food out of people's houses. Contrary to what the Fire Nation thinks, we're not just barbarians.

[waterbraids]

"The wings?" Katara frowned. "I know. Everyone here does."

She swallowed and tried to keep her voice steady, "I think we're a really long way from home."

[swordbends]

He'd seen the signs. Don't try to remove the wings. Beware the barrier. He was determined to just find his way home, but he already knew that they couldn't just walk back.

"... yeah." He couldn't deny the distance. It was too warm for that. But that thought made him chillier than any blizzard back home. "But we're from the South Pole. So at least it's easy to know what direction to head, right?"

[Soujirou eyed him for a moment and then looked over at the place. He took a child out from under a pile of books there.]

It's alright to tell people you're lost. Otherwise, you'll end up looking dumb when they know more than you.

[waterbraids]

That sounded wonderful and... even Katara knew it was too good to be true.

"I think it would be, if... if we were in one of the other nations. Have you seen the houses they have here?" It wasn't like anything she'd ever even heard of - it wasn't like anything on their... on their world.

[swordbends]

"Well... it's probably the Earth Kingdom, right? I mean, it's been a long time since Gran-Gran was out of the South Pole, right? Maybe things changed."

Changed to include wings. It was ridiculous and he realized he was being stupidly optimistic.

"... but there's supposed to be a barrier."

[waterbraids]

"A barrier?" She frowned. "What kind of barrier?"

[ex_tessen852]

[She looked away from him. Thanks for reminding her she's alone.]

Maybe... I haven't found anyone else from my world, let alone my warriors.

[stillplaying]

It took a lot of willpower not to roll her eyes. Not to scowl at him. Suddenly, he reminded her of that boy who hadn't had a conscious. The boy she had stupidly begun to develop feelings for. Maybe it was just his nature to be a jerk. Maybe the boy she had become friends with long before anything else developed was just a lie.

"You will."

[savedtheworld]

I always wanted to go there! And... it wouldn't be stealing. If we find people, I'm sure we can work something out! Come on. Just look in that little guy's eyes.

[swordbends]

[Sokka looks at Momo's eyes and considers.]

Hmm... they'd probably be better in a stew.

action;

[swordbends]

Oh really. And I suppose you know more than I do, huh?

[swordbends]

Or maybe he'd just not been humbled yet. Because he did roll his eyes.

"Right. Well, maybe it will be the next one. This one is going in a stew."

[swordbends]

"I dunno. Just a barrier." He looked up towards one of the taller buildings. "I bet we could see it if we were high enough."

[swordbends]

... oh. [He may be a jerk, but he's a sympathetic one.] I'm sorry.

[ex_tessen852]

I was hoping to have a nice conversation with someone I thought was from my world, but I guess I'm not gonna get that, huh?

[swordbends]

[He frowns and crosses his arms. He didn't go out of his way to be a jerk to her. She just... made it easy.]

Hey, you started it. I just wanted to go eat my cat monkey.

[ex_tessen852]

Oh. Forgive me. [So much sarcasm.] I'll know never to question someone as intelligent as yourself, who clearly knows what a cat-monkey looks like.

action;

[ahappylie]

No.

[He's nine, of course he doesn't.]

But I do know that's the library. I was there the other day.

If you're new here, it's okay to say so. I'm new, even if I'm only staying another few days before I get given away again.

action;

[swordbends]

[... frigging fragging smart alec kids knowing everything... grrr...]

I knew it was a library. I was just making sure you weren't gullible.

[swordbends]

Maybe it's not a cat-monkey. It's still meat. [So there.]

action;

[ahappylie]

Do you have to make sure I'm not because you are?

[HOW ABOUT THAT ONE, SOKKA? IS HE A SMART ALEC NOW?]

[breezing]

[ MAYBE SHE WANTS TO BE A SPIRIT GUIDE, SOKKA. Or a princess. Hold on. ]

Can I be a princess, then? I want to be a princess!
