Sokka the 16th - [Voice]

[markofthewise]

[Filtered against Zuko, Katara, and Toph 90%]

Guess this is the end of the month. I wonder if this will be the last night? After all, new people will be showing up in a few days. That would mean in one more day 'til I'm back to my normal Sokka self.

So how do you tell someone you might not love them tomorrow? Somehow I don't think opening with a joke is a good idea. But if you happen to have a really good one, feel free to share.

[The next filter is added after Sokka's talk with Toph.]

[Filtered to Katara 20%]

... do you have time to talk?

That you might not tomorrow...? [...Huh. Honestly, Charlotte's been considering something like this. A part of her knew that the affection she felt so strongly for Adell now, though it felt like an eternity, was something akin to what she knew, cognitively, that she felt for Teppei when she was in Arima Hills. And though it felt like over time in Luceti there was a disconnect she also know that there wasn't a chance that this would happen that fast as she recalls it doing now in her heart; it wasn't normally that fickle, right? But that said]

[She puts on a smile as she replies with-] Isn't that not possible?

[Voice]

[markofthewise]

Yeah, but a bubble city is pretty not possible too. We're still here though.

But I think a bubble city is pretty possible, isn't it? You just need a big enough bubble.

Thanks anyways. Really.

Maybe you should wait until you actually fall out of love. They might feel the same.

Maybe that's for the best. Maybe I'm just thinking about it too hard.

Be honest.

Be ready to get slapped, too, even though it wasn't your fault. And let her do it without complaint. She's going to be hurting.

I had hoped for a solution that didn't end with violence.

If you're lucky and she can think it through before responding, it won't.

But just be ready for it and don't retaliate if it does. It's not you she's really after, most likely, but she won't exactly be able to go after the assholes who did it, either.

[markofthewise]

Don't worry. I don't think retaliation is going to be much of an issue.

Hn. You too?

.....

I think for everyone involved, dishonestly would be in even poorer taste than opening with a bad joke.

[Filtered]

[markofthewise]

Maybe me. There's always a chance I'm just imagining things.

Well I would hope to open with a good joke.

Do you have any reason to think the feeling won't just "wear-off" for the both of you? ---or are you just worrying ahead of time?

[Filtered]

[markofthewise]

I always worry about things going horribly wrong. It's kind of my job in the team.

... So you figured it out, huh?

[Filtered]

[markofthewise]

I kind of knew since that whole fountain thing. It was just a matter of admitting it.

... Oi, don't bother with a joke. Even a good one. Toph-chan's not gonna find it funny.

. . . This really is one of those temporary effects, huh?

If both of you know about the situation, then it should be easier to come to gripes with, shouldn't it?

[filtered]

[markofthewise]

Didn't know, huh?

I hope it's that easy. But who am I kidding? I'm Sokka. The universe wouldn't let me have it that easy.

I wasn't sure of it at first. It makes sense now, when I think about it.

Ah, you don't have to be like that. Even if it may get tough, you have friends to support you.

[Katara and Zuko have plans tonight, but a question like that from her brother is enough to put them on hold.]

Are you all right?

[markofthewise]

[This is Sokka's troubled voice. Note the lack of squeaky excitement there.] I talked to Toph.

... I really shouldn't have.

[Hooo boy.]

OK. I'm coming. Where are you?
