Sokka the 12th - [Written/Action]

[Filtered to his friends at 80%. You know who you are, people.]

Since my sister arrived, me, Toph, and Zuko have moved to House 56. Right next to Building 5, hard to miss. Just thought I'd filter this though, what with evil demons going around destroying houses and stuff. So feel free to update your address book!

[And that's all Sokka is writing for now. Right now he's working on getting his room set up if his housemates want to bother him. Just about everything is moved over now, not that there was a whole lot to take. Sokka will miss those purple walls back home, though. He's a little bummed out since he recently discovered that his old 'boss' Elisa stopped showing up to give him sandwiches at the smithy and seems to be gone altogether. Sure, he's his own boss now, but he was getting rather fond of jalapenos...]

[Actually it was the Earth King that failed, that doofus. But that does cheer him up, even if he was being accused of selfishness there.]

It was something along those lines, I think. But you're right. In the end, Aang stopped Ozai before he could decimate the Fire Nation. [Conveniently leaving out the events with their mother's murderer.]

[Softly] I knew he would. I knew it.

[Smile] That's a good story, Sokka. They're going to be telling it around their campfires for years! [Just a smidge of sadness that she only gets to hear about it. It's more important that it happened.]

I'd like to think I did a better job telling it than a certain troupe of actors did.

A certain troupe of actors?

On Ember Island. They played out our entire quest from meeting the Avatar up until the uh, end. The actors were terrible and it had a pretty slanted view favoring the bad guys. Let me put it into perspective. Aang was a girl, I was an idiot who only talked about meat, Zuko constantly yelled about his honor, and Toph was a big muscly guy who used sonic waves to see people.

[Failed attempt to not giggle] That's... kind of hilarious.

[That's only because you didn't get to see yourself in it. :|]

Well, at least the Sokka actor got better after I provided him with some good material to improve his comedy.

[That. Is so true.]

I'm sure he did. [She smiles and shakes her head. Katara feels much better now, even though she won't rest easy until she confronts Zuko.] So what about here? You're not hunting the talking animals, so what have you been up to?

[Hopefully that works out well. Plan B for getting Katara to like Zuko requires some creative Earthbending.]

Actually I took over the smithy. I've been learning a lot since I started there. It's not as easy as Piandao made it out to be, but I'm pretty good at it.

That's great, Sokka. Really! And something that you'll be able to use when we get home.

Yeah. Only if I remember it, anyways. Not exactly like I remember anything from the last time I was here.

You were here before too? I met someone over the journal-things who said she knew me... Rydia I think her name was.

According to some guy named Vyse. I've talked to Rydia too about when you were here. It's pretty creepy having people act like your friends when you've never met them before.

Yeah... and it's got to be weird for them too, if they did know us before. To have all those memories that we don't have... ['cause that's not parallel to her situation at all. Suddenly, she feels more kindly disposed towards Rydia.]

I try not to let it get to me too much. Vyse is a pretty good guy, so having an automatic new friend isn't too bad.

I can't wait to meet him, then! It seems like this place is full of a lot of interesting people.

...[sly voice] I already met one of your friends.

Well uh, Vyse is a pirate. Just don't steal anything from him. [This face.]

Really? Who?

Does he have a waterbending scroll?

She said her name was Winry. [That. Right there? Is allll smirk.]

I doubt it. But you never can be sure.

[Oblivious Sokka is oblivious. What's so funny, Katara?] Oh, Winry? Yeah, I gave her a flamethrower.

Well, maybe he'll be a nice pirate and give it to me when I ask, then.

Oh, a flamethrower. [And she actually succeeds in not laughing and she's speaking with so much false innocence.] She must have really appreciated it. Is it to help keep her warm?

...wait. What were you doing with a flamethrower?

[Said with such frankness, like this is totally normal.] Nah, she wants to use it to build an automail arm that can shoot out fire. I kind of built two flamethrowers two weeks ago because of some weird Malnosso experiment. Long story short, they made me want to try and become a Firebender.

Uh, okaaaay. What kind of experiment is that?

Basically everyone suddenly had the desire to start doing some new job, usually ones they were poorly suited for. It was a... very weird week.

But anyways, Winry is bringing over a housewarming pie. I told her you'd make Stewed Sea Prunes.

I thought you were cooking! Don't you want to show me how you've learned to cook?

...we can find sea prunes here?

Hey, I cook meat, not Sea Prunes. Besides, I'm cooking tonight, not when Winry shows up.

Re: [Action] Figured you could always edit it?

[Action] Not after someone replied.

Re: [Action] *facepalm* Sorry. We'll just pretend then.
