Sokka the 8th | [Action]

[It's starting to snow hard out there, but Sokka has important business. He's no fool though, so after putting on his thickest clothes and his parka (and a few supplies just in case), he's set out to Sanji's house to reveal his master plan. After all, this isn't something he can handle on the journals.]

We can have story time later.

Right now, we've got bigger issues to worry about, right?

Oh right. The plan. Should we uh, just talk about it here?

Here's fine.

... You hungry at all, first? [sighs and takes a peek out one of the windows] I hate to say it, but you probably won't be going back home until this damn blizzard calms down.

[He glances out the window.]

I was kind of worried about that... But I figured this was important enough that I had to come over right away before... something happens. [But now his stomach is grumbling.] What have you got to eat?

It's fine, I appreciate you coming over.

And whatever you're in the mood for. I'll take a request if you've got one. [being a chef for Luffy means Sanji stocks up constantly.]

Anything with meat!

...

Yeah yeah, Alright. I've heard that shitty line before.

[turns to the kitchen to whip up some hearty soup or something, with plenty of meat as per request]

You can explain some of the details of your plan while I'm cooking.

[ooc: And now I must disappear for a few hours. /o/ Just so you know]

[He would have asked for Sea Prune Stew, but there's no sea prunes around. He takes a seat in the kitchen.]

Well, the way I see it, the problem with Yuber is twofold. First of all, he can teleport, so he's very hard to kill. But even if you do kill him, he can come back. Worse than that, he'll come back and know how you tricked him last time and be even harder to kill. So what we need is a place there Yuber can't teleport... and make it so we don't have to kill him.

I follow you so far. [actually, there's something Sokka might not know about deaths here, but he'll keep it to himself for now.]

Hey, you like seafood at all? Or does that not count as meat in your book?

Are you kidding? I'm from the South Pole, we practically live on seafood! [He's vaguely aware of the death penalties, but in his opinion, alive is still alive.]

Uh, anyways... where was I? Right. So it turns out there's a place around here in Luceti where anything I can't do, no one else can either. The tunnels! All we have to do is lure him down there (that's the 2nd phase of the plan) and BAM! We ambush him, fight him back into the right spot and... CLANK! We'll have him behind bars where he can't hurt anyone.

[smirks at that] Good. Then you'll enjoy the bisque I made earlier. [pulls out a pot]

...

So he can't teleport out of there?

If I can't teleport, than neither can he! Everyone is just regular down there, which gives the advantage to... regular guys like me!

[it sounds good... in theory. Have questions launched at you!]

How did you find out about the tunnels? Tch, How the hell can it even nullify a person's powers like that?

I wonder if Nami-san knows about this.

I found out from Vyse. He's been here about two years, said he was around when the tunnels were first discovered. I wanted to take Toph down there, but when I found out she wouldn't be able to bend down there, I was going to forget about it. Then this morning... it hit me!

I'm not sure how it works, but there were conditions back home where bending powers could be lost. My guess is that there's something in there that is able to find the source of a person's power and... somehow block it. Like chi blocking, but automatic.

[for the first time since Sokka came in, Sanji starts to look a little excited]

Sokka... you might be on to something. [he's reheating the soup, an action that takes little effort, and so he's free to ponder this more]

How about physical strength? Is that left untouched?

We'll have to go down there and make sure. Do you know anybody that's super strong?

Actually, on that note, we need to find people who are really good fighters, but don't have any special abilities. I'm pretty handy with my sword, but I'd rather have someone really good down there, know what I mean?

I'm going.

Depending on how it effects his rubber skills, Luffy will insist on being there, too.

Well... we still have a while to figure the other details out of who will be there. After all, it might take me a while to get everything together for the prison bars. And then we'll have to get them down there with no one noticing.

Sneaking them in shouldn't be too hard, as long as not many people go near them.

Where are these tunnels, anyway?

There should be a way in somewhere in the plaza. I don't think it should be too hard to find. It also means it won't be too far from the smithy, so that'll make things easier.
