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.

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?

[fightlikeacow.livejournal.com]

Simple stuff, mostly. Cured meat, cheese, fruit, whatever I find at the grocery store.

[markofthewise]

Not the most interesting food, but healthier than what I was eating...

[fightlikeacow.livejournal.com]

Sure, gotta eat a lot of fruit to keep the scurvy away. What were you eating before?

[markofthewise]

Well... lots of meat, mostly. And sugary stuff.

Have you ever actually had scurvy?

[fightlikeacow.livejournal.com]

No way! I always eat my oranges!

[markofthewise]

How can you be sure it prevents scurvy then?

[fightlikeacow.livejournal.com]

Cause, uh, my parents told me so...

[markofthewise]

Have you ever seen anyone with scurvy?

[fightlikeacow.livejournal.com]

Yeah... [He shudders.]

[markofthewise]

Did you give him an orange?

[fightlikeacow.livejournal.com]

No way! I wasn't going near that guy.

[markofthewise]

Wow. Way to be a jerk, Guy.

[fightlikeacow.livejournal.com]

I'm sure he was probably okay...

[markofthewise]

Probably?

[fightlikeacow.livejournal.com]

Sure! He still had most his teeth.
