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.

Yeah. Whatever. But if you want, you can help cook this cat monkey.

[She's a girl, so she's gotta be a better cook. And it'll make her feel useful.]

[ex_tessen852]

No thanks. I'm not that hungry. And besides, I'm sure he doesn't want to be eaten. Do ya little guy?

[swordbends]

Probably not. But he had the misfortune of being made out of meat. More for me, though.

[ex_tessen852]

Are all Water Tribe boys as smart as you are? [So much sarcasm.]

[swordbends]

[A shrug.] Not all. My Gran says I got my brains from my dad, who got it from her.

[ex_tessen852]

Then surely you must've noticed the place with all the food? And you don't have to pay a single copper piece?

If this animal is here, it might be someone's pet.

[swordbends]

Free food is as ridiculous as spirits. Whatever is going on there, it's obviously a trap. As for this guy... does he look like a pet to you?

[ex_tessen852]

[...]

You're pretty ridiculous. I mean here we are in this different place, with wings, and you still refuse to believe in Spirits? How thick is your skull?

And honestly? It's pretty well-groomed. Wild animals usually don't look so nice.

[swordbends]

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.]

[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]

[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?

[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.

[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.

[swordbends]

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

[ex_tessen852]

I guess. I would've looked around to make sure it wasn't someone's pet first, but I guess you just don't think that way.

[swordbends]

What would be the point in a pet like this?

[She's right, he doesn't think that way. People don't have pets for the sake of having pets. You train animals for a specific function. If you can't, then you eat them. That's life.]

[ex_tessen852]

For the company, but I guess you're just a lone wolf, aren't you?

[swordbends]

[In a sense, he feels like that. His pack left to go to war...]

No. I've got my tribe.

[ex_tessen852]

Well, I guess some other people still feel lonely while with a bunch of people.

[swordbends]

I'm not lonely! Why do you think I'm lonely?

[ex_tessen852]

...I never said you were.

[swordbends]

You implied it.
