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.

Eel Jerky? Well, I guess if it's free...

[markofthewise]

It is free! Come and have some.

[fightlikeacow.livejournal.com]

Sure! At your house?

[markofthewise]

No no, at the smithy. [That's not weird at all, right?]

[fightlikeacow.livejournal.com]

Okay, I'll be right there.

[He'll show up at the smithy soon enough, looking for the eel jerky.]

[It will be there! On one of the counters usually reserved for weapons. There is even dipping sauce left.

And Sokka will be on the couch, chilling out with his journal, eavesdropping on his sister like a total jerk.] Hey Guybrush!

Hey, Sokka!

[He examines the food.]

Eel jerky, huh?

[markofthewise]

It's better than it sounds, trust me.

[Normally, he'd never try something like this, but boredom does strange things to a man. He picks up a piece and takes a bite.]

Hey! It's not bad!

[markofthewise]

Another satisfied customer!

[fightlikeacow.livejournal.com]

Better than my wife's grandpa's cooking, that's for sure.

[markofthewise]

What's his cooking like?

[fightlikeacow.livejournal.com]

Remember that potion I tried to make a couple of months ago?

[markofthewise]

... yeah. What about it? [Besides the fact Sokka sabotaged it and feels guilty about that and suddenly uncomfortable.]

[fightlikeacow.livejournal.com]

That was one of his recipes.

[markofthewise]

But it wasn't meant to be food, was it?

[fightlikeacow.livejournal.com]

No, it wasn't, but he thought it was supposed to be. He accidentally sent his ship to Monkey Island when he tried to make that potion for dinner.

[markofthewise]

... okay, that's pretty bad.

[fightlikeacow.livejournal.com]

I know... and now he always wants to cook when Elaine and I visit...

[markofthewise]

Maybe you should bring over the food first.

[fightlikeacow.livejournal.com]

Hey, that's a good idea! I worked as chef for a little while.

[markofthewise]

I'm sure anything you make has to be better, right?

[fightlikeacow.livejournal.com]

Exactly!

I mean, I didn't do any actual cooking, but I'm pretty sure I could.

[markofthewise]

You don't cook at all? So what have you been eating here?
