Sokka the 17th - [Voice/Action]

[markofthewise]

[So after going around breaking hearts and fighting evil demons, Sokka has found a new hobby to get his mind off of how annoying Luceti can be. That hobby? Cooking!

Surprisingly enough, despite the fact he's used the smithy as his personal kitchen for the past few days, Sokka has managed to complete a batch of eel jerky (or rather, a dish of mán xiāng consisting of salt cured eel) that actually doesn't taste absolutely horrible. It's nothing exceptional, but it is rather tasty. He's set out a plate of the stuff in the smithy, along with some vinegar bowl in a display that looks nowhere near as nice as this picture. At the very least it looks edible. Anyone who for whatever reason decides to drop by the smithy today are more than welcome to try some of Sokka's latest cooking experiment. Otherwise he's going to be inviting people over the journal.]

Hey Sanji, Brook! I finished the eel jerky I told you about. If you want to drop by you can have some. Anyone else who wants some can drop by too, but it probably won't last long if everyone does, though.

You think so? I was worried it might have been too salty. [But having someone actually eat his food without making a face? This is one satisfied Sokka.]

[foodovermystery.livejournal.com]

Nope, I think it's great!

[markofthewise]

Well a chef is glad to know his food is appreciated! At least, I think that's what a chef would say. [Shrugs.]

[foodovermystery.livejournal.com]

Ahahahaha, yes, that is. Do you not usually cook?

[markofthewise]

People generally prefer I don't.

[foodovermystery.livejournal.com]

Well, this turned out pretty well.

[markofthewise]

Well it's not like you can ruin meat, right?

[foodovermystery.livejournal.com]

Um... well, actually, it's pretty easy to ruin meat. You can overcook it, undercook it, have it be too dry....

[markofthewise]

Well sure, if you want to get technical... [It's MEAT. He'll eat it anyways.]

[foodovermystery.livejournal.com]

Nothing's as good if you slack off while cooking it.

[markofthewise]

It's not slacking off! It's experimenting!

This here is my... third batch.

[foodovermystery.livejournal.com]

I wasn't talking about this. I was talking about anything, period. But this, I really did like it.

[markofthewise]

Oh, well then. Thanks! ... again!

I heard you talking to my sister on the journals earlier.

[foodovermystery.livejournal.com]

You're welcome.

Sister?

[markofthewise]

Yeah, Katara. You were talking about paints. [Oh yes, paranoid big brother ALWAYS listens in on his sister's journal entries.]

[foodovermystery.livejournal.com]

Oh, do you not like the color? It might be a little late now.

[markofthewise]

I'm not really concerned. Red? Blue? It doesn't bother me. I figured I'd let her pick what she likes.

[foodovermystery.livejournal.com]

Great!

[markofthewise]

Yup. [Subject change time.]

So do you have a weapon you use?

[foodovermystery.livejournal.com]

No, I don't fight. Neuro fights.

[markofthewise]

Neuro? Who is that?

[foodovermystery.livejournal.com]

He's... a friend, from back home.

[markofthewise]

Oh. You probably miss him.

[foodovermystery.livejournal.com]

I do. I miss him a lot.

But I try not to think about it since it just makes me sad, or if I do, I try to think about the friends I've made here, instead.

[markofthewise]

And the important thing is, he's in a better place than we are. I try to do the same thing too, although sometimes I can't help but think about the people back home.
