[Today? Sokka is at the smithy. Honestly, are we really surprised by this? Seriously, this is kind of his thing. He is waiting for Winry, though. He wants her input on a project.]

It's been two weeks since the equinox. And we're finally getting a break from all the rain. Funny how the new season just kind of Springs up on you like that, am I right?

[Oh Sokka, you are hi-lar-ious. He wipes a tear from his eye even, pleased that he managed to let such a well-seasoned joke be released into the wild. Oh, speaking of wild.]

No but seriously, now that it's getting that time of year, how many people out here hunt and fish? I know, I know. Boo hoo, the talking animals. I've heard it. But is there anyone here besides me who still does that kind of thing?

[Also, lately Sokka is keeping a new little trinket in one of his pockets. It's something he intends to give to someone at the right time. After the small blunder of forgetting to bring it on Suki's birthday, he's keeping it all the time on him now. So even as he's walking away from home, he'll often put his hand in his pocket to make sure it's still there. He probably won't show it to just anyone, though.]

[Sokka has some messages to knock out of the way. He doesn't bother with a filter for the first one, mainly because he feels like being somewhat of a jerk and making light of Haruhi's ridiculous relationship with her 'minions'. In spite of that, Sokka's tone is pretty flat. There's no excitement here and it's pretty obvious through the message something is bothering him.]

Hey Haruhi, feel free to send Naoki over. He can do his thing now. [Oh wait...] Uh, after Leon takes a look over it, I guess.

[Wonder Woman // Locked]

Uh, hey Diana. Can I ask a favor?

[This last one he almost backs out of doing. But it's been a few days now and things haven't changed. Maybe this will help.]

[Filtered from Housemates (and Haruhi as an afterthought)]

So... hypothetically speaking, how do you make up it up to someone you really care about for something that really hurt them when what you did... there was nothing you could do about it?

[With things so awkward at home with Suki, Sokka has been spending less time there. It's hard to spend time with your girlfriend when she's still upset with you, but being polite about it. So this leaves him working at the smithy for longer hours, actually doing homework at the library, and once more taking part in his neverending quest to find a hat that really says Sokka to him. Through all this, he is accompanied by a certain cheeky lemur hanging around on top of his head, shoulder, or getting into things he shouldn't.

He will, at least, drag himself home for dinner. Delicious, awkward dinner.]

[Sokka's day will involve a few things. One of them won't include shoveling all the snow out of the way of his house. It's not that he's lazy, but when his sister can take care of that in less than a minute, why even bother? Later his day will involve working on important things at the smithy, like the metal casing for a certain teleporter. And maybe some weapons or the key-shaped variety. Or helping New Feathers find their weapons so they can go about being dangerous. He'll also do lunch in the plaza... maybe do some shopping.

But why dwell on the bad parts? Before his kidnapping, Sokka is available for running into. Also, in light of the fact the snow is coming down pretty hardcore today and is, frankly, almost a blizzard, he feels inclined to make a voice post in the middle of the day.]


You know, we had that big blizzard about the same time last year. Well, not big big. I've seen bigger. But we had a lot of people get stranded out in that stuff. Actually, I met a lot of people being stranded at the Straw Hat's place... Uh, anyway. Yeah, blizzards. Bad stuff. Better make sure you got a lot of food at home, just in case.

[Hours later, on his way home, he'll meet some delightful metal men who will proceed to knock him out and drag him off, being nice enough to leave his sword and boomerang in the snow.]

[See Sokka. See Suki. See Sokka and Suki but fully dressed. Despite having friends going around dying, getting injured, or what have you, nothing will dampen his warrior spirit... at having his girlfriend around. Which is why he's called off work so he can spend the day with her and show her off to the doubters. This means he'll be dragging her off to stores for ~shopping~ for whatever happens to look cool, interesting, or highly collectible. Or for lunch, eating at Seventh Heaven at a seat by the window naturally.

Pity Suki as she is dragged all through town and maybe even a little outside of town by her over enthusiastic boyfriend. He means well, really. Before this, however, he leaves a message on the journals. One of superb importance not only for his fellow workers, but for his fighting instructors as well. And friends maybe. And people who might happen to be fans. It's been known to happen.]


I am taking the day off. Because I have someone way better than some old smithy. [Indeed, that's all he had to say. He's worked at the smithy every day for two weeks now, so he's ready for a break. And Suki is way better, so he's not just saying that.]

((ooc: forward dated to tomorrow for less angst. I hope. Action tags will be tagged by Sokka and Suki, so beware!

Note: Please follow the order of Your Character > Sokka > Suki!))
markofthewise: (That's rough)
[Changing back suddenly had been something of a shock. His counterpart had a tendency to stay up late and while in the middle of making a sandwich for lunch, he gradually became aware something had changed as he blanked out for a moment. He felt shorter, younger, and there was less hair on his chin. His hair was still down, but he soon fixed that. After enough time, things started to catch up with him. All the horrible things he said, did, and thought... they were firmly in his mind. Maybe it wasn't really him who did all that stuff, but he remembered it like it was.

He spends a few hours not even sleeping, just going over everything he could remember, His first priority was his sister. After quietly peeking in on her, he could see she was back to her old self. They really, really needed to talk. But for now, he takes out his journal and writes out a message.]


I'm back to my old self. To anyone I talked to this last week, I'm sorry for everything. It wasn't me, it was... someone else. Kind of. Especially you, Winry.

[Of course, writing that in the middle of the night likely won't get noticed until the morning. By that time, Sokka will be on the roof of his house, temporarily covering up the damage left there by a certain incident yesterday. It's a good excuse for not having to face what happened the last week.]
markofthewise: (AU - Smirk)
[Today was just an average day for the Avatar house... or was it? No, it wasn't just because Winry and her housemates were still there. No, something far more ominous was going on. But hopefully the plumbing would work itself out later. On the other hand, Sokka woke up the same way he ever did. He threw on his clothes, parted his hair, and headed into the kitchen to make some breakfast. After bending the last of the milk out into his bowl of cereal, he sat down to eat, casually stroking his beard every now and then. Was he really the first one up? That was... really unusual.

Later on in the day, after his housemates have gotten a taste of the new Sokka, he'll hit up the town because frankly they've all changed in weird and strange ways. He's not sure why, but going to the smithy would make him feel better. Especially since it seems to be putting itself back together, despite the mess on the floor. Well, he is in charge of the place. Maybe he should get some orders for his two top employees. He makes a voice post on his journal.]


Looks like things are kind of getting back to normal, aside from some... admittedly freaky things going on. But hey! The smithy should be operational, just as soon as my workers get in. In a few days, we should be able to start taking orders again. Let me know what you need and I'll pass it on.

((ooc: In this AU, Sokka is the Avatar of his world. Details here. Longshot and Jet are also from this universe! Most notably, Sokka can now bend the elements, has facial hair, and is two years older at 18 (making him about 5'11, three inches taller than before). He also doesn't carry a single weapon on him. Weeeeeird. Final note! If I switch back to a regular Sokka icon, just imagine it with long hair and beard. Sometimes I gotta be expressive, man.))
markofthewise: (Pep talk time)
[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?
markofthewise: (A fan of secret rivers)
[Filtered 90% to the Strawhats, the Gaang, Nash, and Vash.]

Alright, it's that time. Be here today, lunchtime. Feel free to bring bring food, if you like.

If you have a special friend that you really think should be here, then drag them along too.

[/Filter]

[And that's all Sokka is saying. Everyone invited will likely know this isn't some pitch-in lunch (well, it is kinda) but actually a SEEKRET MEETING to discuss the three main threats and the trap Sokka has been planning. Also that special friends are meant to be those who really should hear this and could be useful to the mission. Not boyfriends. He's talking about you Katara.

Whenever they arrive, the front room will have been set up with multiple chairs and the couches arranged in a circle, all directed to the back of the room where an easel with charts is set up.]


((ooc: For ease of things, Sokka will lay out his plan all at once and have questions and discussion afterwards. Due to the number of people present, threadhopping, threadjacking, and threadbranching is fine. Feel free to mingle outside of the main Plan thread. Bring a snack!))
markofthewise: (I see you)
[Early Valentine's morning before the sun is even up, Sokka will be sneaking about through town leaving some presents on the doorsteps of a select group of people. Under the mistaken belief he has to get all the girls he knows something for this very, very tedious holiday, Sokka has gone out on deliveries. He'll be knocking on the doors of the houses and apartments belonging to Nami, Winry, Anise, Mayoi, Paru, and Charlotte.

He'll be long gone before they (or their housemate?) answers, but what they'll find is a basket full of assorted chocolates and other candy. A card accompanies it with an extremely crude drawing of the person in question (interpret it as you will) with the message "Valentines !" on top and "Sokka" written on the back. Toph and Katara will both find the same thing left in their rooms as well. Zuko will receive nothing.]

((ooc: Feel free to get a hold of Sokka however you please. You can call him out on voice, written, or go knocking down the door of his house to demand an explanation.))
markofthewise: (I like where this is going)
[Filtered to his friends at 80%. You know who you are, people.]

Since my sister arrived, me, Toph, and Zuko have moved to House 56. Right next to Building 5, hard to miss. Just thought I'd filter this though, what with evil demons going around destroying houses and stuff. So feel free to update your address book!

[And that's all Sokka is writing for now. Right now he's working on getting his room set up if his housemates want to bother him. Just about everything is moved over now, not that there was a whole lot to take. Sokka will miss those purple walls back home, though. He's a little bummed out since he recently discovered that his old 'boss' Elisa stopped showing up to give him sandwiches at the smithy and seems to be gone altogether. Sure, he's his own boss now, but he was getting rather fond of jalapenos...]
markofthewise: (Wang Fire - Pleased)
[Today is a special day. The plaza, though still with a good amount of snow on the ground, is one of those places in the village where enough shoveling and foot traffic has removed most of the snow. Therefor somebody who was absolutely not Sokka saw an opportunity. By noon, a small one-person booth had been set up in front of the fountain. A sign above it reads "FREE ADVICE".

Sitting at the booth is a particularly distinguished looking Fire Nation man twirling his manly mustache and stroking a very refined beard. He certainly seems to know what he's talking about and he's casually greeting people as they go by in that deep, almost booming voice of his. Having stress? Don't know how to deal with your feelings? In love with someone but they don't know it?

Wang Fire is your man and his Free Advice Booth is open.]
markofthewise: (It's meat!)
[It's starting to snow hard out there, but Sokka has important business. He's no fool though, so after putting on his thickest clothes and his parka (and a few supplies just in case), he's set out to Sanji's house to reveal his master plan. After all, this isn't something he can handle on the journals.]
markofthewise: (That's AWESOME)
[There's a few taps on the journal before there is speaking.]

Uh, don't mind me. Sokka here, just leaving a message here.

[The following is written out, but Sokka also slowly reads it out loud as he writes it.]

Since Toph and I just got here and the fact we totally beat up the Fire Lord (well... we helped) recently, we decided to do the only thing that came to mind upon receiving our very own house here. Which is, of course, have an awesome party! It'll be full of sodas, cakes, meat and other food stuff, I guess. We'll be ready to party on [there's a long pause as if Sokka is consulting someone] Monday night.

Everyone's invited, unless you don't like parties, then you shouldn't come. Or you disapprove of unhealthy eating, then it probably wouldn't be a good idea. It's also probably not a good idea if you happen to have some strange power to make things blow up without your control, since that could cause some problems. If you happen to be sick, you should probably stay home too. Oh and if you're pregnant or injured or something. Actually if you have really small children, you probably don't want to leave them alone. Evil people probably should just consider themselves uninvited too. Jerks too. If you're a jerk of some sort, you probably should just stay home. Unless you're only a jerk sometimes, maybe you could just come and try not to be a jerk.
