[Action]

[Ever since the event ended, Sokka has not been in the best of moods. The university shift has messed with his head in some pretty violent ways, and the current shift isn't treating him much better. While he certainly struggled with coping with university classes and the whole thought of being in school again (which, to be honest, there wasn't much of a school to be had i the Southern Water Tribe before the war ended), it's girl issues that have got him down... and namely the sneaking sense that somehow he's betrayed or jilted Suki, his girlfriend from back home who isn't here. All because, for some reason, the recent Shift made him fall head over heels (actually, that's an understatement) for Asami.

Not to mention the fact that he's seeing ghosts of Suki (and even Yue) practically everywhere in Luceti, there's no real safe haven. But the least safe haven is House 56... because everyone he knows—Asami included—are all there. And even if it wasn't his fault (a lot of people have been saying they've been acting weird), well... it certainly doesn't help that some of his dreams aren't of Suki.

So Sokka is spending A LOT of time not at home. For the most part, he will be at the Smithy, Seventh Heaven (no, he's not eating at home right now), the village square, or at the beach. If you run into him, you might notice he's not his usual loud extroverted self and definitely has three shades of guilt written across his face.]


[Action / Smithy / Locked to Leon and Jane Foster]

[One of the primary projects Sokka has been working on in his spare time is figuring out how Poké Balls work. He remembers quite well that Crystal broke one a long time ago, and thanks to Ash and Jane Foster, he's come up with a plan to try to actually create Poké Balls so that, maybe... just maybe... he can understand them enough to fix them. Not that he's told Crystal any of this, mind, but it's a project of passion for the time being trying to reverse engineer technology.

Granted, he's not gotten far yet. However, if someone were to invade upon the inner sanctums of the forge, one might find Sokka in the finishing touches of molding and assembling two metallic half-spheres together, complete with a clasp and a release button. It's not a functional ball by any means; though there's clearly an effort to try to somehow power it inside (there's some wires sticking out of it for good measure). There's also a couple of obviously failed attempts to create two perfect half-spheres. At least his latest creation resembles the real thing.]


[Action / House 56]

[Because Sokka is beating himself up on the inside, he's avoiding confronting the problem, and that means sneaking in and out of the house at a couple of odd hours. The door to his room is locked, and generally he isn't doing lunch or dinner at Avatar House like he usually does. Instead, there's a series of tied together sheets sticking out of his window during the daytime hours.

It's not that Sokka doesn't want to talk to anyone there. It's just that Sokka doesn't want to talk to anyone there. It's that Sokka would prefer to reason it out himself before confronting the situation, but honestly... given how tired he looks, given how little sleep he's been getting, maybe it's a good idea for a few good friends to actually talk with him. Were someone going to be mean and remove the makeshift ladder to his room, he's going to go up the slide and have to pick the lock to his room, and that's... going to take a small bit of time.]


[Text / Locked against Asami]

So hypothetically, let's say that someone has a girlfriend waiting for them back home. And that that girlfriend isn't here in Luceti. And hypothetically, let's also say that, well, maybe due to forces completely beyond your control, like maybe during a shift, that person happened to get into a rather... deep relationship with someone else.

So then (hypothetically mind!), is that considered cheating?

Even more so, is it considered cheating if that person is still having dreams about that new relationship? That they weren't responsible for?

Oh yeah, and this person is also seeing ghosts or spirits of both this current and his former girlfriends everywhere here. Wherever he goes. As he's going to work, as he's eating lunch, at the beach. When he wakes up they're in his bed. Sometimes it seems like they want him to follow them, but then they turn around a corner and disappear.

I'm going insane.

It's driving this person insane. Hypothetically.


[Good save, Sokka. I'm sure they're not going to figure it out.]

EDIT: [Action / House 56 (a day or two later) / locked to Asami]

[After doing a lot of thinking and a lot of talking, Sokka has at least come to a few decisions about where things were. He still didn't entirely know where he felt, and he especially didn't where Asami was after it was all said and done with, but he did know deep down that he had to resolve this whole thing with her, partially for his own sake (and also so that he didn't feel like he had to keep sneaking through the house to avoid awkward meet-ups).

And so finally, instead of climbing up through the window, he comes into the front door and... hoping that he's lucky to catch her at home, knocks on Asami's door. While during the shift he practically could come in uninvited, he wasn't going to do that here.]


Hey, Asami, you in?

[Accidental Video]



[Sokka and Zuko can be, with some amount of awkwardness, off in the forest surrounding the village. More specifically, the duo is found climbing the branches of a tree, surrounded by the greenery towards the top. The view from the journal is fairly shaky, and it’s not as if either of them are paying attention to the journal. Sokka can be heard screaming, and Zuko’s definitely panting for a small bit before they stop. Down below, the sound of a very angry grizzly bear can be heard.]

I thought you said bears were friendly!

BOSCO WAS!

The Earth King’s pet? That’s just one bear!

That’s the only bear I ever met! Have you seen another bear!?

[Soon, the tree starts shaking all around them, the leaves swaying unnaturally, clearly not merely caused by the wind. There are a few thuds from below along that are oddly timed to the shaking of the leaves.]

I’m too young to die!

We’re not going to die, Sokka!

Tell that to Growly McBigteeth!

… You named the bear?

Why not? If I’m going to die, then the bear that does me in deserves to have a name.

Let’s just focus on getting away from it!

Oh sure, leave it to the Idea Guy to come up with a plan.

[Action - Locked to House 56 -- Much later?]

[Long after they managed to make their escape, Zuko and Sokka drag their sorry carcasses back to the house.

However, the hunting trip wasn’t a complete loss! Zuko comes in carrying the sorry carcass of one very cute, very fluffy, and very dead bunny. Sokka looks as proud as he can be.]

[[In the forest in the eastern outskirts of town, Sokka wakes up with a minor freakout.  He certainly had not gone to bed wearing these clothes (honestly, who in the four nations even wore white?), not to mention that the clothes he had been wearing are right next to him.  There is a major pain in his back that no amount of stretching would make go away.  And lastly, when he reaches up to pull Boomerang out, it isn't there.

Somewhere in the back of his head, he certainly feels wings where his club and boomerang should have been instead, but the loss of Boomerang is definitely the most pressing detail of this awkward awakening for at least a full minute.

Thus begins a very frantic search of the surrounding area to find said boomerang, but all he finds of note is a rather peculiar book lying beneath his folded clothing.  He reaches down to examine the book and as he opened it to the front, starts pressing a few buttons almost randomly.]]

[Voice]

[[There are a few seconds of pause as he investigates it, before the wings dawn upon him.]]

Wait... wings?  Oh, ha ha, Aang!  Okay, okay, I'm sorry for being jealous and making fun of you and Katara for flying around together on your little air glider thingy going swooooooooosh swooooooooooosh.  Now will you please get over here and take these wi--

[[Sokka looks up and sees a bird perched in a tree overhead.]]

Oh you are so lucky that I don't have Boomerang with me, flying meat.  Otherwise, you would be breakfast.

[[The sound of some bird can be heard over the journal.]]

Huh, it can talk.  [[suddenly screaming]]  IT CAN TALK!  THE DEMON BIRD CAN TALK!  Aaaaaaahhhhhhh--

[[The entry ends abruptly as Sokka accidentally hits the Post button as he closes the book and runs.]]
