Sokka the 18th - [Action]

[markofthewise]

[So after Katara has had her counseling session (with Sokka naturally following her around and being even more Batman super spy than usual), the two will be heading deep in the forest to search for Zuko. They'll try to raise him a few times on the journals, but are otherwise prepared to stay a few nights in the forest, even packing enough gear to spend a few nights camping if need be. After the loss of Toph, Sokka has no intention of seeing their missing comrade suffering a similar fate.

If for some reason your character is out deep in the forest, they may run across the two Watersibs combing their way through the forest. They may not exactly be the most conversational, but they'll probably talk to you if there's good reason to. Feel free to run into them while they're either hiking or if it's late in the day, setting up camp for the night.

Note: Either Katara or Sokka (or both) will answer your character.]

[Well as they wander deep into the forest they might just hear the loud crack of rapid gunfire. Someone else needed to let off a little steam after hearing about the recent strings of kidnappings.]

[markofthewise]

[Well that's not Zuko, but it catches Sokka interest, because Zuko could be involved. Sokka will be investigation, pressing himself up against a tree as he spies on the source of the shots, trying to make out who it is.]

[Katara, on the other hand, is just pissed off. If this brings her a fight, she welcomes it. She's got her hand on her waterskin and just calls out as she marches towards the sound.]

Hello? Is someone there?

[goldenglasses]

[Voices? Vash wasn't expecting anyone; but he's learning that doesn't matter in Luceti. And is that...] Katara?

[markofthewise]

[... dammit Katara. Sokka will be following after her. His hand at first on his sword, but he'll let go once he hears Vash's voice.]

Vash? Why are you out here?

[Hugo had been pretty much spending a lot of time in the forest. It was getting frustrating to find out that his friends are getting hurt and kidnapped, and really, Caesar and Jacques were no Sgt. Joe or his mom, so it was pretty much just him kicking back into old habits of contemplating on his own when he sees a familiar face, pausing in his steps.]

[Sokka will spot Hugo and walk over, with Katara likely hanging back.] Hugo.

[markofthebrave]

[Katara follows, giving him her current best smile as a hello.]

What are you two doing out here?

[markofthewise]

We're looking for Zuko. We think he might be out here.

-- Sokka, Katara?

[markofthewise]

[Sokka will see Tormod and head over to at least interrogate him. Katara may or may not hang back for now.] Tormod.

What brings you to the forest?

[markofthewise]

We're looking for Zuko.

[tatzenkreuz.livejournal.com]

You mean he went missing, and he's here?

[And Nash is walking around the forest, examining the trees and occasionally writing something down in a notebook he's carrying. He can hear the siblings approaching, but decides to wait to see how they react before speaking to them.]

[markofthewise]

[Why are all of Sokka's friends in the forest? Still, this is Nash. This is a guy who knows how to find things. Sokka will be approaching him.] Hey Nash.

[latkje]

[It's not an exclusive forest, you know.]

Greetings! Enjoying the stretch of your legs?

[markofthebrave]

[Katara follows a bit behind Sokka.] Something like that. We're looking for somebody.

[Nash. That name is familiar...] I don't think I've met you in person before.

[markofthewise]

Oh, right. Nash, this is my sister. Katara, this is an old man. [Somehow Nash is lightening Sokka's mood. Damn you, old man.]

[markofthebrave]

[As darkness falls, the Watertribe sibs have set up camps between the two lakes. Katara is making dinner from what Sokka packed. It was an unsuccessful day, but even so she's a little too quiet... and so is he.]

[markofthewise]

[Sokka will return from setting up their tent and sleeping bags and come to sit next to her by the fire. After a whole day of fruitless searching and sporadic conversation between the two, the silence between the two is almost stifling.]

... I kind of missed doing this.

[markofthebrave]

Doing what? Watching me cook over a camp fire?

[markofthewise]

Well, there's that. But mostly the camping. It's been over three months since I slept outside.

[markofthebrave]

I keep forgetting that you've been here longer than me.

[She glances up.] The stars are in different patterns here.
