Sokka & Genis - early spring catch-all
Characters: Sokka or Genis... AND YOU!
Date: Late March, early April
Location: Turtle
Situation: Critical
Warnings/Rating: Much sarcasm. Such boomerang. Many foods. Wow.
[A. Genis Sage - Closed to Bakura - Dojo]
[Genis still had Bakura's note from the last kedan festival. In fact, he'd almost forgotten it after the festival as it had fallen out of his pocket at some point and hadn't quite found its way back to Genis' attention. But find it he eventually did, and that was reason enough to immediately dash off to the Wood Sector. He had abig brother mentor good friend to go see. After all, Bakura was going to be teaching him magic, and what better way than to go to someone who invited him?
[The address that Bakura had given him led him straight to a dojo, and so Genis, being the good kid, will actually knock on the front door of the building, waiting for someone to answer.]
Helloooooooo? Anybody home?
[B. Genis Sage - Open - Midnight Hotel or Keeliai]
[Genis had finally gotten a job. It had taken quite a while to finally get it, but he was finally on the up and up and not completely hating this world. (Because let's face it, Genis isn't going to completely turn a new leaf over for the kedan, even if things are getting better, when there are still kedan bullies on the street. Just a little too raw. And the fact that many kedan wouldn't even give him the chance didn't help either.) But Genis managed to prove himself pretty handily pretty quick. Of course, he's starting out low on the totem pole, nowhere near the most senior of the chefs, but he already has proven capable of being a being both the saucier and the poissonnier, so there's a good chance ordering something from the menu will come from Genis.
[Genis will be experimenting with foods in the kitchen in the Midnight Hotel as he's still getting accustomed to an entirely new range of spices that aren't from his world as well as a host of different meats and vegetables that resemble but aren't quite like the things from back home. So you might smell something tasty coming from the common kitchens... or you might actually be dining in the restaurant Genis is cooking for and want to give him thanks... or you might find him out at the marketplaces buying some fresh ingredients for a new master stroke of genius cooking.]
[C. Genis Sage - Open - Edge of Town]
[When Genis isn't being grumpy about the kedan or cooking, he will be off practising the magic. He hasn't actually gotten to use any magic in a small while, and so he doesn't want to get rusty. One might see him holding a wooden little figure in his hand which actually is a kendama, a Japanese ball-and-stick toy, as he casts his spells. He's not casting of the high-level ones (for the most part), and so as he concentrates, a small glow of light will appear beneath him, and the colours they emit depend upon whatever he's casting. As he's practising, someone watching him might hear some rather... disturbing lines coming from this 12 year old's mouth.]
Come get some! Air Blade!
I call upon thee in the land of the dead to unleash the fury of thunder. Indignation!
Engulf this pathetic soul! Ground dasher!
Drown! Aqua laser!
Pancake time! Stalagmite!
[Hopefully you're not anywhere in front of him as he's casting these or else you'll get caught up in... something: water, ice, wind, fire, thunder, or earth.]
[D. Sokka - Open - Keeliai or Stark Industries]
[Sokka's got a few things on his plate at the moment. Of course, he's helping out finish up the deconstruction of the Palace, and he'll be hanging around there with a clipboard, running in between teams of kedan and foreigners alike, and generally doing his part to plan out the last bits of the reconstruction effort. If he's not there for work, he'll be out helping on the railway lines. His work there is less middle management and more guard duty and occasional gopher. He'll be running supplies between teams as they're needed and making sure that shipments get through from place to place... and of course occasionally collecting the odd report. And then he's occasionally delivering those reports back to headquarters.
[You might just happen happen to catch him while he's on break though. Feel free to interrupt him or have him run into you (possibly literally).]
[E. Sokka - Open - Midnight Hotel or Keeliai]
[The puzzle is annoying the crap out of him. Two months in, and he still doesn't have any solid leads on what in the world they're even supposed to do. It's got to be simpler than he's making it, but at the same time, for the life of him he can't actually make heads or tails of it. He'll either be in the common room staring over his notes or out in Keeliai, perhaps following some random route through the city—especially the Central Sector, trying to track down anything that might resemble a landmark.]
So if the purple star is the Metal Sector, and that represents five... then what in the world am I supposed to do when I get there?
[F. Sokka - Closed to Milyn - Milyn's Apothecary]
[It's amazing how just a few seeds can germinate into a full-fledged idea. And it's amazing how far those apple seeds can fall from the tree. An idle conversation with Gene and Tony a while back mixed with conversations from Enjolras and Akito formed a plan. It was time to break out of his small circle of friends and start finding out more about these strange kedan that they lived amongst. And to do that, he needed to go see Milyn.
[He had heard her name cropping up more and more over the past few weeks, though the reasons were still unbeknownst to Sokka. Still, she seemed to be the one kedan that was more on their side than anyone else, and Sokka knew she knew the kedan leaders perhaps more than any of them, so it made sense to go and find out more of what he was dealing with before going directly to them. Besides, he didn't even know what he was going to talk to them about. He barely even knew Milyn, but at least he had an idea of who she was and where to start from. And so, in true fashion, Sokka is planning on just improvising as he gets there. All of his plans never seemed to work out as written anyway, right?
[He approaches the apothecary and heads on in, looking for the Cherrywood Healer.]
Hello?
[G. Sokka - Closed to Toph - Keeliai]
[Sokka is actually kind of out of practice when it comes to swinging Space Sword around. Truth be told, there hasn't been much need for all that much fighting around the Shell in the past months, and that had made him just a little bit restless. He definitely wanted to get out and get swinging and make sure he was keeping his sword skills up to snuff. The one problem is that he didn't have a training partner. Granted, not that he needed a training partner per se, but it was more enjoyable if there was someone else there doing kata with him, even if it was a completely different kata than him.
[Which is why he had fetched Toph. First, she would be eager as anything else to go with him to go punch some rocks around... and perhaps even punch some rocks towards Sokka, though Sokka would ask them to not be massive boulders, please thank you very much. Second, well, he enjoyed Toph's company, and now that she was here, he was going to take advantage of it.
[And also, it gave him a good excuse for him to figure out what exactly Toph knows of this place. She'd been here before apparently, but not... recently by the sound of it.]
Okay, so... tell me what you know of the Creep Lord, [he says whilst they're walking to their training house.]
[H. Sokka - Closed to Gene - Midnight Hotel]
[And if he didn't have enough appointments already on his docket, he's certainly come up with one more. After all, if Sokka was remembering rightly, it was Gene that had actually gone to Zanru and Yunxu and Heojin to find out about their opinions as to the demolition of the Palace of the Landed Sky, and that would prove interesting. Sokka still didn't exactly have a solid direction as to where to proceed with his long-term plans of being involved with the three gangs, but he knows for certain that figuring out these three reclusive characters was going to be a good first step. It's at least better than showing up completely unprepared, not knowing what in the world he was going to go talk to them about.
[And besides, he really ought to get to know Gene better anyway. Oddly enough, at their last encounter, he seemed less surprised by Sokka's world than Tony. In fact, he seemed less surprised than Sokka was to about half of those events!
[So Sokka heads upstairs to pay Gene a visit. He doesn't exactly know when he's going to be there as he doesn't have a solid timetable for him yet, but he'll periodically go knocking on Gene's door or look for him in the common room to have that nice little chat.]

no subject
[At first, the retort comes out dryly, just as try as Toph's own remark and her pulling away from him. But that second note isn't... and it's completely unlike Toph to say things quite like that. It kind of strikes Sokka unprepared, and he shifts his balance, almost as if to defend himself against an unseen assailant.
[Quick! Abort, Sokka, ABORT! When in doubt, make a self-deprecating joke.]
Let me guess... you're going to say that's because of all the crazed, high-pitched screams when facing all the crazies we've had to face?
no subject
[Fortunately he hadn't seemed to take it that way? (She's so going to try to ignore that minute pause, that shift of board. Means nothing.) This can be saved yet.]
[She pulls up a smirk, pushing light and casual.] Pretty much.
Go again with the sword this time, or have you ended up on your butt enough yet?
no subject
[And by not talking about it, well, there's only one other thing to do. And that's do what they came here to do initially.]
What, you think you can get the better of me three times in a row? You'd like to think that, wouldn't you?
[O Great Metalbender, you are so going down now.
[
And so Sokka, this time, is going to be much more deliberate and less flailing than before. After all, she's now proven to be quite the opponent, much more than he imagined this way. And so, sword in hand, he now backs up and slowly walks around her in a circle, waiting and watching, this time to see just how good she is at knowing whereabouts he is.]
no subject
You manage anything else, I'll give you that prince title early, okay?
[Talking about it: Successfully avoided. Pwn.]
[Lapsing into silence and focus, she's still, attuned to anything that might give him away -- the brush of skin against wood, the shift of his grip on the sword, the sudden movement of air against her skin. Her muscles ease, waiting, controlled in preparation for his strike.]
no subject
[Perfect.
[And that's when Sokka shifts his balance subtly onto one foot. And it's then he takes his shoe off of his foot...
[And then he throws it across the room, letting it drop noisily far away from him.
[He lets that noise permeate the air. One... two... three... four... five... GO!
[He strikes, pivoting forward much more gracefully than his previous efforts. She'll totally see it coming, but maybe she'll be distracted and just slow enough?]
no subject
[But it is an unexpected noise -- a punctuation mark in an otherwise silent room. And it throws her off just enough to distract focus for that barest of instants.]
[He comes closer than she would have wanted. Closer than he should have. She only twists at the very last instant, yanking herself away from the path of the blade.]
[For the flicker of a moment, her eyes widen -- before she sweeps his feet out from underneath him to recover her dignity.]
no subject
[He looks up at Toph, dignity once again tarnished.]
Alright, alright, you win.
no subject
[But it's a close victory, and Toph knows it. And although she has an ego the size of a city when it comes to her skills, that's never really stopped her from giving people their due when they've earned it.]
That was pretty good, though. [A hand reaches out in an offer to help him up if he wants it, palm up.]
I'd keep that one around.
no subject
Well somehow I doubt I'm going to be fighting someone blind and with awesome ninja powers any day soon, but if I do... I'll make sure to remember that one.
[He grins and takes her hand to pull him up.]
Though that just means that I'm going to have to practise to beat you one of these days.
