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.

Oh... [a pause...] I hit another bad topic, didn't I.

Nah, I... Think I'm also really good at managing to say the worst thing possible, so, uh...

[she remembers getting really excited about seeing a real, live dragon, only for Headmaster Thorne to berate her for acting amazed about something that's murdered dozens of innocent people. she hasn't gotten over that one yet, either.]

I'm still going to say, though, that statistically we've got good chances.

That's way better. All right. Team "bad at talking" has it covered.
