Sokka the 13th - [Voice]

[markofthewise]

Well, I guess Elisa went home. Her place is cleared out now. I dunno who knew her, but I thought you might like to know.

Huh, guess that means I have the smithy to myself now.

.... so I guess you got settled in, right? It was... Tortoise, right?

[Voice]

About that -- No, it's Tormod! Where the heck did Tortoise come from?

[Voice]

[markofthewise]

I dunno.

Well, then . . . Toph said to consult you on learning how to use filters.

[Voice - Filtered 85%]

[markofthewise]

I guess I'll go ahead and set one up, just in case.

[Voice - Filtered 85%]

[tatzenkreuz.livejournal.com]

All right. So, this is what a filter's like? It's definitely new to me.

[Voice - Filtered 85%]

[markofthewise]

Yup. This one is pretty strong. It'd take some work to break into this one, although I'm pretty sure the Malnosso can read any filter, no matter how strong.

Meaning the level of protection varies depending on how good you're at it, like having experienced guards on duty. And, the Malnosso? Is that what the people in charge are called?

[Voice - Filtered 85%]

[markofthewise]

Something like that. It takes a lot of memorization and logic to figure out a good filter. Eventually I hope to have it perfected.

Yeah, didn't anyone show you the guide?

[Voice - Filtered 85%]

[tatzenkreuz.livejournal.com]

Toph said you gave her a stencil. I'm sure, with practice, we can get it down in no time. You already seem to be pretty good at this.

There's a guide?

[Voice - Filtered 85%]

[markofthewise]

Well, since Toph can't read... Her filter isn't really all that strong, even with the stencil. It'd be best you learn to make your own.

Oh yeah. [Insert IC instructions to here.]

[Voice - Filtered 85%]

[tatzenkreuz.livejournal.com]

She can't read? And, yeah, I figured it would be best for me to try it out on my own. People tend to learn better that way.

That's quite a bit . . . but I'll read through it all. Thanks.

You do know she's blind, right?

[Voice - Filtered 85%]

[tatzenkreuz.livejournal.com]

She's blind!? No! I didn't know.

[Voice - Filtered 85%]

[markofthewise]

Well, to be fair, she does a horrible job at acting like she's blind. I forget she is all the time.

[Voice - Filtered 85%]

[tatzenkreuz.livejournal.com]

If she really is blind, how does she manage to get around so well? I can't believe it . . .

[Voice - Filtered 85%]

[markofthewise]

She releases high pitched sonic noises in the air and uses the sound reflections that she hears to figure out where people are and what they look like. [Sokka is so terrible. Sorry Tormod, but he hasn't quite warmed up to you yet.]

[Voice - Filtered 85%]

[tatzenkreuz.livejournal.com]

. . . Really?

[Voice - Filtered 85%]

[markofthewise]

[This is what you get for SEDUCING his sister.]

Yeah. But you shouldn't bring it up or anything. Just... pay attention and you'll probably notice.

[Voice - Filtered 85%]

[tatzenkreuz.livejournal.com]

Uh, okay. I'll do that. I thought maybe it had something to do with her being used to the area or an earthbender, but I guess not.

[Voice - Filtered 85%]

[markofthewise]

Well those help, but mostly its the whole sonar thing. Like bats.

[Voice - Filtered 85%]

[tatzenkreuz.livejournal.com]

I've never seen bats. I can sort of imagine it, though.

[Voice - Filtered 85%]

[markofthewise]

Right. Well anyways, just drop by sometime if you want me to show you filters. It's hard to explain like this.

[Voice - Filtered 85%]

[tatzenkreuz.livejournal.com]

Ah, all right. Then for future reference, where do you live?

[Voice - Filtered 85%]

[markofthewise]

You can just catch me at the smithy, I'm usually there. [He's not giving you that info, you stalker. :| ]
