markofthewise | Sokka the 11th

[Tap tap.] This thing on?

Right, uh, a few things. First off, Toph, I got that thing ready. Took me longer than I thought it would, but I've got it at the smithy. Meet me there!

Zuko, if you decide to cook anything, watch the countertop! I don't want you crushing our new house guest.

So Winry, would you like to have Firebender A? I'd give you Firebender 1 instead, but I'm kind of partial to that one. In any case, I think my days as a Firebender are over. That really gets redundant when you say it so much. No wonder Azula was so crazy.

Let's see, am I missing anything... Wait! People can hear me still! Err... hey everyone. Sokka here. Don't mind me, I'm just... hanging out and doing my thing, that's all. Life goes on. But uh, in case you guys were wondering, it's less than a month until my birthday. Something to think about. I know I'm forgetting something here...

OH! RIGHT! Emil, I have your order done. Paru, how many of those prop swords did you need? I've got like, five of them, is that enough? Uh, Nash, the prototype on yours kind of uh... went to pieces. So I'm starting over, but I'm gonna get it right this time! Honest!

[...]

Oh, I guess I'm done here. So uh... yeah. That's it. [...] How do you turn this thing off... [Finally there's the sound of the book just closing.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[Poking his head in now.]

Um, hello?

[Sokka hops up when he hears Emil.]

Oh, finally made it. How's it going?

I missed that experiment, if that's what you mean.

Well.. no, actually it wasn't. How did you miss it?

It didn't affect me for some reason. Maybe the Malnosso finally got tired of experimenting on me.

I guess that's lucky, then.

Yeah. Anyway, I'm glad it's over now.

Well anyways, you're here for the knife, so... [Sokka heads to the back of the store and comes back after a few minutes with a knife in a small wooden sleeve. If Emil inspects it, he'll see that it's a pretty good knife. Naturally it won't be just like the old one he had, but it's a pretty decent approximation with only a few flaws in the design. Practicality wise though, it's good sturdy knife that's definitely going to cut through things.]

So, what do you think?

It...

[It's not an exact replica, no, but it's close enough. Emil could care less about how sturdy it is or isn't; that's not what he wanted it for. He's never actually going to use it. It just gives him something to remember Richter by, since the original knife disappeared with its owner.

He turns it over in his hands a few times, running his fingers over the flame design silently.]

... not what you were looking for, huh?

N-no, that's not it at all! I'm sorry, I didn't mean to... it's perfect. Thank you.

Ah, well great! Well this is the part where I demand payment.

Except, you know, no one has money. So yeah.

[He's still running his fingers over the hilt, a faraway look on his face.]

Huh? Oh, um... I guess I could cook something for you...

I certainly won't shy away from a well cooked meal. Can you cook for three? With lots of meat?

Okay, but who are the other two people?

Zuko and Toph. We all live together. They like meat too.

Would stew work? That has a lot of meat, and it's perfect for this kind of weather.

Hey, that'd work out just great.

Okay, then I can make that. Just let me know when you want it so I can go get all of the ingredients for it. Oh, um, you probably want some kind of beef stew, right?

Beef stew is great. Perhaps... a tuesday would be good. It could be our [wait for it] Stewsday! Aha! AHA! Haaaa... classic.

... that almost sounds like a joke Tenebrae would make.

A fellow lover of comedy?

Um, something like that.

Maybe you should try cracking a joke here and there. Lighten the mood a little.

I don't think I'm very good at jokes... usually people just look at me funny when I try to make one.
