cawaiiHello Sokka. When you have a moment, would you mind coming by my lab?
It's nothing terrible! I just wish to [A PAUSE] scan your brain.
If that's alright, of course!

[This would normally be faced with a lot of suspicion and flat out refusal. Sokka has seen what happens when people's minds are played with and it's terrifying. Luckily for Allen, he's full of energy, he's not sure where it's come from, but he is ready for everything.
He doesn't even answer the message, he just zooms over, entering the lab and moving around, picking things up, putting them down as he talks ten to the dozen.]
Hey Allen, what do you need to look into my brain for? Is it something important? Has something weird shown up? Why is this jar blue?!!

What kind of name is Bloodsport for a ship?
That's where you are?
[Ugh, he's trying to wrack his brains about who's on it. Isn't that creepy guy who got his heart ripped out the captain? ]
Well, it's ok. They have paperwork you can fill in, we have extra space on the Blue Fish, you can come here.
Look, I can meet you on the planet now? Right in the volcano part?
[The worry is seeping in, he's been at Panic Station One since she arrived. ]

[she's sent several texts since she saw the fighting start. she doesn't know which ship is is, but she knows some of them are getting pretty wrecked. her worried texts are numerous, and more panicked as he doesn't answer before she's finally leaving him a vocal message.]
Sokka, please tell me you're okay.
Sokka, please tell me you're okay.
[There's a lot of clanging in the background, but it stops when he hears her voice. ]
Suki, it's okay. We're all fine. The ship took some damage, but the crew is fine.
They didn't go anywhere near the Marsiva, right?

Okay, so. I did something, and I need you to promise not to over-react.

What did you do?

[As if your day needed to get better Sokka! After dealing with the whole Aaron mess and about an hour of deliberating, Allen decides that he PROBABLY should let at least his captain know. God. Responsibility sucks]
[His voice does not sound happy. He sounds tired and annoyed]
Ugh...There's something I need to tell you.
[His voice does not sound happy. He sounds tired and annoyed]
Ugh...There's something I need to tell you.
[After his conversation with Karata, he gives a dry, horrible laugh.]
Don't tell me, you gave your powers up to the possibly crazy strange, too.
[Sarcastic laugh. He isn't serious.]

Hey Sokka! Can you head over to the alien ship? We need some engineers on hand to try something.

So long as that 'something' isn't to bring it with us.
Please tell me it's not that.

I'm bored.

[Oh, he knows that tone, he's MISSED that tone. ]
Wellll, I'm sure we can find some way to fix that.

[ Part of Allen knew it had been too long since the crew had lost a crewmate. A few months...that seemed like such a long time compared to everyone else's ship- compared to how their ship used to be. So when finds the roster one shorter...he can't make himself feel surprised. It's difficult to feel that way when you've spent most of your life having people taken from you. ]
[He does feel pangs of guilt. He should've tried harder to get to know this Aang. Should have reached out more. But Allen had kept his own walls up and he knew it. Was that really a better option? He...wasn't sure]
[Still, he knows that Aang's friends are probably upset, and worried. They still don't know what happens to people who leave for sure. Regardless of his own feelings about loss, it was his job to look after the crew. And so, he goes first to call up Sokka. Sokka is practically ritualistic about keeping track of things- he knows he didn't miss this.]
...Hey.
Idiot question but...are you okay?

...Hey.

[That's...a really good question, and not one Sokka is sure he knows the answer to. He's seen people leave the Fleet before. Even people form home. Both Iroh and Zuko had vanished away. But Aang , Aang is different. Aang is the soul of their little group, the person who brought most of them together, who taught them so much and now he's just...gone.
There's a touch of guilt, too. He's not exactly been overly friendly with Aang lately, what with the whole Katara thing. He knows Aang will be back home, he's lived past the last point Aang remembers. But there's still concern. Concern that maybe things aren't what they seem, or that Aang hs been taken somewhere else before going home.]
Can I go for a non-committal grunt? I think that's the best answer I can muster up right now.

Hey!
I just wanted to thank you for all that dating advice you gave me awhile back? I got a boyfriend now- and I think it's because the advice really helped! [Sure it was advice technically for dating a girl, but it was general enough to help!]
So thanks. You're a great friend.

[WOW! His advice actually worked for someone. He feels he should put this on the wall somewhere. Helped Allen Get Some. ]
Oh wow, really? That's GREAT news, buddy. I'm happy for you.
Who is it? Is it the guy with the visor?
And you're welcome. Glad my romance knowledge helped someone.

Hello. I just thought I would inform you that I have a monumental amount of extra food that will not fit in the icebox. I'd be appreciative if you could help eat it. Allen is a vegetarian, so he won't be able to eat everything that I made.
Come to the Bishop's kitchen if you are interested.

[On or after the 25th, if Sokka ever returns to his room on the Blue Fish, he'll find a sword resting on his bed. The blade, overall, is a darker grey color, but lighter than his previous space sword. Upon looking closer, he should be able to see a distinct swirling pattern in the metals. On the topside of the pommel is a familiar looking sigil.
Yup, guess who broke into your room.]

[And when he does return to his room, he finds the gift. It touches him, it really does. It's a fine sword, one he can genuinely use. He recognises the sigil, but he knows straight up THANKING Toph for the gift would not be tolerated.
So, his tone is casual when he calls her comm. ]
So. Weird Earth holidays, am I right?

[Merry Christmas, Sokka! On the morning of the 25th he'll find a gift bag surreptitiously left outside his door, containing:
- One (1) small canvas painting
- One (1) questionable dime store mug
- A card with a short personal message from Alex
Enjoy!]

Thanks! :)

Sokka, do you have any idea why the blender is in pieces?
Sokka, do you have any idea why the blender is in pieces?
What?
Is someone playing around in the kitchen? Because I'm pretty sure everyone knows the rules we have about that!
Okay. Okay. How many pieces is it in? Would you say it's fixable or dead as a
super dead thing?

[Okay, so Allen left after Azula's post and said that he'd explain later, but Clay would really like more details now, seeing how doesn't want the rest of his crew possibly befriending this new person. So after a quick look through Azula's post, he sees Sokka react as if he knows her, and... well, that seems like the best place to go right there. From one captain to another.]
Hey, Sokka? This is Clay, captain of the Vanquish. Allen said not to go anywhere near Azula, but could you give me some more details on that? I'd like to know what we're dealing with here.

[And Sokka absolutely will not keep him in the dark. He's glad for Allen's prior warning though, it's a start. But it's important people know the basics. Especially anyone close to people on the Blue Fish. If there's even a tentative link to Zuko, there's a chance they could get themselves on the wrong side of her winning personality. ]
Yeah, sure thing. None of it's good, though. She's Zuko's younger sister - who right now is from far back in our timeline enough that she still thinks the war we won is going on. Which...is actually less terrible than it sounds, given losing the war threw her right into crazytown and made her even more dangerous than she already is.
...But she's still dangerous now. She's a powerful firebender and she can bend lightning as well. Add to the fact she's one of the Fire Nations best fighters and a master manipulator and you've got a very dangerous person on the Fleet.

[Allen sounds extremely agitated when he calls Sokka. But at least it's not at Sokka]
So Robb's been handing out guns to the crew to shoot Azula with.

...Wow, that was almost a whole week where nothing terrible happened.
Did he say he specifically wanted to shoot her? Because I'm pretty sure I told him we weren't going to engage her in any way.

[ he's been kept remarkably busy since azula has arrived. in training, and working, and scoping around the station. the blue fish has generally left him alone regarding the subject, which zuko both appreciates and finds annoying. he appreciates it because he doesn't want to be forced into talking about how to best kill his sister. and he finds it annoying because zuko is positive no one is asking him that because it's his sister.
still, he knows their time on the station isn't limitless, and soon they're going to be back on their ships. stuck there. and zuko is at least self-aware to realize that he doesn't want to hear what happens in a small enclosed space where he can't really leave. even the iskaluit isn't really big enough for the kind of spontaneous need of space feeling that zuko occasionally gets.
and so -- ]
I'm ready when you are, to talk about what happens to Azula.
[ it's a lie, but he's as ready as he ever will be ]

Okay.
Where do you want to meet up?
Okay.

Sokka, do you have a furnace? like, a weapon's forge or something of that sort?

[That's a relieved, if sad exhale right there. ]
He finally talked to you about it, then. Sorry I didn't, he wanted to do it himself.

No. Wait. You sound happy. Why is there happiness happening when there should be sleeping?

Good meeting... ah, that is, Hello... Forgive me, is that Sokka? I was told by Doctor Crusher that you might be able to help me. My name is Maglor, and I was wondering about how easy it might be to set a forge up on the Iskaulit?
That's me! Nice to meetcha, Maglor.
As for how easy, I guess it wouldn't be impossible? We'd have to get a lot of raw materials to make it, but if we hit a planet that had good bricks and solid metals, it's feasible.
