godbent | Haruhi the 20th [Voice/Action]

[Okay so the last week (or well, more like the last weekend) had been a buzzkill even by the standards of this whole body switching thing. And given how foul he mood's been, well... it's basically confirmed something else for her. Something she'll address later, because right now she really need to have some sort of pick-me-up
So as "Sokka" she decides to try asking something she's sort of wondered about for a while]

Heeeey. So Brave Vesperia's accomplished some cool stuff by now, right? And the Welcome Center's still doing parties, and Buffy - awesome woman, really - has the fighting training and Suki - even more awesome - has the Kyoshi warriors to get people up and ready for drafts and then there's that SOS-Brigade doing... whatever and the Blue Rogues protecting everyone. Plus the school and people running shops. There's a whole lot of groups these days aren't there...

[Yes. Okay, that sort of getting lost in thought is totally Sokka, right? ...She just needs to make a pun now, Except she can't think of a pun. Shit. how does Sokka pull off terrible humor like that all the time?]

Ever think Luceti needs anything else? Any other sort of thing we'd benefit from? [...!] And I mean useful things, not salons or more party things.

[...Oh she's fumbling. She just. Stops. No wait. Katara- she can loop this around. Would Sokka know about therapy? WAIT NO. Old guys. That's it. Old guys come to mind for some reason.]

Like people who dish out sagely advice? [... No that's stupid] Yeah it's just fall and a slow day, nevermind. [A beat] Toph, that sword we talked about is all yours; Zuko, it'll take a little longer than I thought - my bad.

[UGH UGH UGH. Okay, after that she goes back to her Day As Sokka - get out of the Smithy as soon as humanly possible without making things suspicious (even if she's actually gotten the hang of basic tasks there), go home, awkwardly dance around doing things for dinner, practice with the boomerang (also re-getting the hang of that), go to town, try to dick around on a guitar for a while (she needs to do something interesting, okay?).

...Basically if you want to find "Sokka" in an action bit, you can. Pick your poison.]

[As before, this is a body-swap plot using Haruhi's powers and therefore not a Malnosso thing. Detailed here. Replies will be from

It sounds like you need to take a break. Or is that not "sagely" sounding enough?

I think it'd sound better if you were an old man.

Not even an old woman? What if I dressed up like one?

An old woman might be okay too, yeah.

You don't think that it has enough already?

It sort of depends. I mean, there's the school and there's elder people to help out kids, but what about when... adults need advice?

[...Is that too much?]

Then they'd probably find another adult to ask. Or I'd imagine they'd have friends.

Well yeah, there's always friends...

...Nevermind. I don't even know what I'm talking about.

Is your sagely advice not enough for Luceti, Sokka-chin? [Giggle.]

Edited 2011-09-22 23:59 (UTC)

I can't be there for everyone.

Hm. Good point. [Tap tap think think.]

Maybe you should invent a machine that gives advice?

-Seriously?

Gee, thanks for the shout-out. You're the peak of sweet.

[Still weird. Still so weird]

No problem.

You alright? You sounded a little...scattered up there.

[ sokka is a lot of things but scattered is not a label she would personally attribute to the ~~boy~~man.

notably, the question isn't asked with suspicion. just friendly, warm concern. ]

Uh yeah just... the season. Leaves fall, back home it starts to get unbearably cold, you know. Melancholy.

[Hiccup is in the smithy today. He's been scarce ever since he lost Toothless, but he needs some mind-numbing work to carry him along, so here he is. He sees Sokka in the back as he arrives.]

Heeeeey, Sokka. Uh...how goes it?

Heeey Hiccup.

...Long time no see.

[Or at least, she thinks/hopes. She hasn't seen it before now anyway. Hmm]

...Yeah. Sorry I, uh...haven't been around much. Things've...kind of been...yeah.

[He was on the draft. Sokka would have missed Hiccup's little outburst over the journal when Toothless and Kay were gone. He should have left a note or something. Explained why he was so...absent.

His shoulders sag.]

Anything new?

Some guy wanted to join us.

[Lightly. She figures Hiccup doesn't want to dwell on whatever was... there]

You can't put off the duel forever.

It's not forever, it just got delayed!

Right, right. Delayed. Of course.

[Unfortunately Sokka's not getting out of the Smithy fast enough because there's suddenly a Shiki in the doorway again.]

So...guess what? I think I can actually bring the sword home without having to worry about my housemates.
