Who: Sokka and you!
Broadcast: Network
Action: SS Blue Fish
When: Shuffle day!

[He's been designated Captain of his ship. Sokka is used to leadership, he's lead his motley gang around the world, after all. It's something he has quite literally been born to do. After the flub before the Day of Black Sun, though, he knows public speaking is not his Thing. But not this time. No, this time he is going to inspire his crew and give them complete and utter faith in his leadership.]

So, uh, hi. It looks like I've been made Captain.

...Of the SS Blue Fish, I mean. Not like, the Captain of Everything, because that would be dumb. [A nervous laugh.] Could you even believe that? Captain of Everything. Ha...ha.

Anyway, I want my crew to know I've totally got this. I'm a leader back home, too. I make sure Team Avatar gets to where we need to go. Except none of you know who Team Avatar is, do you? Okay! Team who's responsible for saving the world. We're a big deal. So I lead those guys, and I've led two invasion forces.

...Okay the first one failed terribly but the second one seems to be going pretty well. Except for the fact I'm probably about to die. But! Uh. Yeah! I really do know what I'm doing and I promise to be the best Captain I can be.

[...]

Sokka! My name's Sokka. Though...you probably already got that in the announcement.

I'm gonna turn off the communicator now.

Yeah? Really?

[goldenglasses]

Really, really! I mean, it's kinda hard to mess this captain job. I'm not sure you even have to do anything.

[alwayscomeback]

Well, I#m planning on doing something. I want to get us all home, where we belong.

[goldenglasses]

Then just tell me what you need to do captain and I shall listen! [Maybe.]

[alwayscomeback]

Okay.

We need star charts, more than anything. Some way to map wherever we are. With enough charts, we might be able to navigate ourselves home, or at least into a galaxy with people who know how to get to our home worlds.

[goldenglasses]

You can chart stars? [Says the man who knows full well that they can be mapped.] But there are so many of them! That would take a lot of paper!

[alwayscomeback]

There'd be more than one map. You got to know how they work together, is all. I can figure that out, I'm good with maps.

[goldenglasses]

That's good. Because I'm terrible at maps! I once used one as a tissue by mistake!

[alwayscomeback]

[Sokka makes a horrified sound.]

Seriously? How do you even do that? They're huge.

[goldenglasses]

Well, first it got a bit crumbled and then ripped in half in my bag. So it wasn't really big when I did that.

[He's having more fun than he should be. Seeing as he didn't do any of this at all.]

[alwayscomeback]

...


You should probably take better care of your maps. Then you have less chance of getting lost and probably meeting a horrible death.

[goldenglasses]

Ahh! I don't like horrible deaths at all! They sound---- just horrible!

[alwayscomeback]

Which is exactly why you need to take care of your maps.

[goldenglasses]

Right! Take care of my maps! I promised to do that from now on! Great advice from a great captain!

[alwayscomeback]

I do what I can.
