Sokka the 1st | [Voice/Action]

[Sokka is still sleeping comfortably, thanks in a large part to having arrived inside of a nice warm house. That is, he's sleeping on the floor of House 2 and somehow both snoring and drooling on his open journal. His usual clothes, which were nicely folded around him, have been unconsciously snatched at and thrown on top of him as a makeshift blanket. Naturally all that snoring is being transmitted by voice, as is a few other words...]

Hmmm... stop Momo... that's... vegetables!?

Oh, real funny.

I wasn't trying to be funny. I've never been a book before!

So, then, where do you want to meet?

The best place... would be wherever weapons are sold.

If they're free, they aren't really being sold, now are they?

Give me five minutes.

Oh, right. Everything's free.

Give me more. I gotta find it first.

Where are you now? I can probably show you.

I just crossed this bridge. Looks like there's a lot of houses ahead of here...

There's a big circle in the center of the village, that's where most of the shops are.

I think I can see that.

[Sokka ends up hanging around in the circle there waiting for Nash to come by, but he realizes he has no idea what Nash even looks like. He's dressed in his thicker clothes meant for the South Pole, which are perhaps overkill here, but they're keeping him plenty warm at least.]

[Nash appears! He thinks he recognizes Sokka just from him looking slightly overdressed. He did says something about the North and South Poles, right? And, well, if it isn't Sokka, it's not as though Nash hasn't walked straight up to a stranger before.]

I'm Nash.

Sokka! [He gives him a look over.] You're not as old as I expected.

[He's been getting that a lot, here.] How old did you expect me to be?

I was at least expecting some gray hair here and there. Interesting hair though. I think I like it. [Since there are totally no blonds in the Avatar world.]

I'm sure they'll happen any day now, if my life keeps up at this rate. [Yeah, there are no blonds in Avatar. Nash is going to pretend not to be disturbed by Sokka's hair-related curiosity.] Should we be going, then?

Personally, this isn't a place I'd want to get old in. [Sokka glances at the various stores.] Sure. Which one?

I've only been here for a few days. I got old on my own. [He's still done enough recon to recognize the place with weapons, so he points it out.]

[Sokka decides to head in first. Immediately his expression is one of awe as he realizes he can have anything he wants. Of course his first instinct is to grab the largest sword in the store and attempt to lift it over his head. He fails at doing so, but he does notice something off in one corner and runs to grab it.]

Boomerang! You came back again!

[Nash is just going to stand in the store watching. He already picked up all of his toys, and is generally less of a teenager. Because he's not a teenager. ]

Is that yours?

Yup, good old Boomerange. My dad gave it to me. [Sokka ends up not only adding a few of his own weapons, like his machete and club, but also a spear, a few knives, a whip, nunchuks, and any other weapons he can carry. He drops them all into a pile when he spots the real treasure.] My space sword!

[Still just watching, amused. Does he know how to use all those things? Probably not. But, he is curious about one thing, and cocks an eyebrow–] Your space sword?

[Sokka unsheathes the black blade to make sure it really is his sword.] I forged it myself from a meteorite. Well, with a little help, but still!

[That's actually pretty impressive, Sokka.] And the metal isn't brittle? [He laughs.] I guess it wouldn't be, if you could forge it.

[But now Nash actually has to look for something.] You fight with one sword?

You could say it was a ... forge-one conclusion! [Sokka cracks up laughing at this.]

Just the one. You don't?

Well, I don't really do much with swords, at all these days, remember?

[He looks at the swords to find one of an appropriate length and balance. ]

Oh, right. Of course. Maybe you should practice some first? I think I should do some more shopping and find out more about this place. And uh, maybe see if any of my friends are around. [And do some more shopping.]
