Sokka the 7th | [Action]

[markofthewise]

[You might notice something unusual today. The smithy now has smoke rising from it once again. If you go inside, you'll find Sokka inside, working on various items with one hand while holding a yellow book entitled "Smithing For Dummies" in the other. A few other books about smithing and metallurgy in general are scattered about as well.

If you caught Sokka earlier in the day, you would've seen him dragging a large amount of weapons back to the smithy, all of which he had previously purloined at the weapon shop when he arrived. He'll also be attempting to drag a few couches from the furniture shop towards the smithy too, so feel free to help him out.]

But not a new feather! I'm not from this cycle, so you can say I have seniority over all these new people now.

[Aaaand... they're setting down the couch. Is that a feeling of deja vu there? Nah.]

I don't think that's such a big accomplishment, but whatever suits you I guess.

What do you need this for anyway?

[Action]

[markofthewise]

Hey, you take what you can get. [He shrugs.]

Oh, see, I'm going to be working in the smithy for awhile. I thought it'd be nice to have a couch for customers! Or for when I get tired. Or whatever. It's pretty versatile, don't you think?

What happened to the old owners of the place? [He pays attention. Really.]

[Action]

[markofthewise]

Missing, apparently. If they come back, they can have the place back. But no point in letting it go to waste, right?

[Missing, huh? Does that mean even Lloyd was gone?]

Looks like you've been settling in nicely.

[Action]

[markofthewise]

You don't think they'll mind the couch, do you?

[Action]

[300yrswandering.livejournal.com]

They can't exactly complain when it's already there, can they?

[Action]

[markofthewise]

Besides, who doesn't like a good sit down now and then?

[Sokka sits down on the couch to prove his point.]

[Action]

[300yrswandering.livejournal.com]

I'm surprised they didn't think of it before.

Are you a blacksmith too, then?

[Action]

[markofthewise]

Well I've been known to dabble. I did make this. [Sokka unsheathes his shiny black meteor sword.]

[Action]

[300yrswandering.livejournal.com]

[Blinks.]

That's pretty cool.

[Action]

[markofthewise]

Yeah, unfortunately there's not many meteors around here for material, but you work with what you go, right?

[Action]

[300yrswandering.livejournal.com]

[Wait--- rewind.]

That thing is from an actual meteor?!

[Action]

[markofthewise]

Sure is. Nice, right?

[Action]

[300yrswandering.livejournal.com]

Definitely. I didn't even know people could make weapons from them. [Not that he's seen an actual meteor land, but cool factor is cool and inner child is showing.]

[Action]

[markofthewise]

Yeah, just a little creative thinking on my part.

[Action]

[300yrswandering.livejournal.com]

Well, it's still pretty impressive. Looks like the smithy's in good hands at least.

[Action]

[markofthewise]

Hey, if you ever need something made, I'm your man. Just name it and I'll be on it like Catgators on fish!

[Action]

[300yrswandering.livejournal.com]

Catgators?

[Action]

[markofthewise]

You know... kind of like a Hippodile.

[Action]

[300yrswandering.livejournal.com]

And that is...?

[Action]

[markofthewise]

[Pause. He always has this problem...]

It's a bit scaly thing.

[Action]

[300yrswandering.livejournal.com]

Got it. [Well, not really.]

[Action]

[markofthewise]

[This would be a lot easier if everyone else had normal animals!]

Well anyways, since I'll be opening for business soon, anything you'd like? A knife? A sword? Some kind of lucky lionhorseshoe?
