Who: Sokka and you!
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: Blue Fish
When: After the latest shuffle

[Sokka can be found in the captain's chair in the Blue Fish, where he's been sulking since he realised his ship is missing a very important person from the crew.]

For anyone who knows her, Katara's gone home. Things are...better back there, so she's gone back to something good at least. Jilly's gone too, she was a great cook :(

[They're going back to their tribe. To see how bad things are there. So some of that is a lie.]

But in other news, Azula's ALSO gone home, so the Blue Fish lockdown is done. People from other ships are freee to visit as they like. I'm keeping the locks for now- just in case- but they're not active right now. So the Blood Drive can come back to here as its base. Yay.

[Allen heads to the bridge after he reads the announcement from Sokka. Sure he enough, he sees Sokka sulking in his captain chair. So he walks up and plops down into the folding beach chair they had put up for him with a sigh]

This sucks.

[The First Mate chair is the most glorious chair that ever there was. Sokka rubs the back of his head, sighing. ]

Yeah it does. It's not a fair trade. Getting rid of Azula but losing those two in the process.

I sure don't remember signing to any trade.

[He leans back against his chair.]

Katara's really okay back home, right? [He didn't think Sokka was a liar. He just knew how these things go sometimes. Sometimes, people spin a nicer story to make things easier. He knows he's done it himself]

Me either. I'd ask for a recount, but I doubt they'd give it us.

[He shrugs. ]

Katara's okay, but things in our tribe have been tough. We were getting ready to set off back there to see how we could help, last thing I remember.

Probably not.

[He'll look over at him.]

I see. Well, if anyone can help...it's you two. I know that much.

[He offers Allen a smile, a slightly strained one, but still, it's there. ]

I hope so. We've been helping rebuild so much of everything else, we never even realised we were needed most at home.

That's too bad. But I don't think that's really your fault, though. I'm guessing your world doesn't exactly have phones.

Not unless you count messenger hawks.

...

No one should ever count messenger hawks. They're the worst.

Messenger Hawks? You mean like messenger pigeons?

...Yeah. I can see why that wouldn't be very reliable.

Nope, actual hawks. They're a Fire Nation thing. I got one but he was...pretty useless, really. I tried to send him to the South Pole and it- didn't work as well.

Katara and Toph sent him to the Beifong estate and I never saw him again. They basically stole my already useless bird.

[At least his tone is amused, even with that underlying trademark Sokka sarcasm. ]

Fire Nation, South Pole, and the Beifong Estate...?

Aren't those in...three different parts of your world? That's a long way for a bird to fly. [Talk about high standards Sokka!!]

I-

[There's a significant pause there.]

But that's what they're bred for!

[Yeah, Hawky's totally dead, isn't he. ]

Yeah, for shorter distances than entire continents.

...Oh.

Okay, my bad. Probably should have used something else.
