006 - Rip Van Sokka

Who: Sokka and you!
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: Blue Fish
When: Right now!

[Sokka has finally awoken from cryosleep. He looks a little older (which, of course, he is, he's a whole 19 years now) and his hair is in disarray, but awake he is. His communicator catches him sitting upright, blinking confusedly around him as he tries to sort through three years worth of memories and try to work out where the hell he is.

After a few moments, the pieces fall into place, and he lets out a low groan, flopping back on his bed.]

Ugh. I thought I was done with this place.

[Then, he gets up, reluctantly, ties his hair back up in a pony tail, and heads up the hatch and out into the Blue Fish himself. It's like going back to a dream. Or maybe a nightmare. The familiarity is fuzzy and off, but it's slowly creeping back to him. ]

But Appa's not here!

What? NO! Not here! Back home!!!

Oooh! Right, you mean the future! That didn't happen yet.

[... ]

Oh.

...No wait, if it hasn't happened for you yet, why were you talking about being stealthy?

D-did I? I mean... a different kind of stealth! Yeah, that's it!

[Eyeballing you!!]

And what kind of stealth would that be? HMMMMMMMM?!

Umm.... super... secret.... Avatar stealth? Not anything you'd know about - yeah! It's all... spirits.... and.... vegetables?

...You;re seriously trying to sell this on 'spirits and vegetables' ?

...It doesn't work?

[The most deadpan expression ever. ]

Sure, Aang. This is the face I make when I believe something. This is my believing things face.

Really? Great! If you didn't believe me, I really would have had to worry!

[Sokka just puts his face in his hands and makes a dying whale noise.

Bwaaahhhhhh. ]

...Issss everything okay Sokka?

[Muffled:]

Oh yeah. Everything is just dandy.

Things... aren't so dandy, are they...

No Aang, that was sarcasm. Things aren't dandy, they're the opposite of dandy. They're... they're... mandy!!!!

.....

Who's Mandy?

The opposite of dandy!!!!!

[Practically screeched out. KEEP UP AANG, ZMOG!!!]

Okay, okay, I get it!

...Can we pretend that things are dandy?

Do I have much choice?

Ummmm... You got plenty of choices! The world's an oyster!

[Pinching the bridge of his nose, pinching it so hard. ]

The world's your oyster.

...And fine. Whatever. Just don't be gross and oogie around me.

[He frowns.]

But Sokka, I can't eat oysters.

...I- I'll be careful!

You don't have to eat the-

[Deep breath. Let it go. Let it float out into space. There it goes. ]

Good. You do that.

Thank you, Sokka. It means a lot to have your blessing.
