006 - And now we present Sokka in an act of desperation

[alwayscomeback]

Who: Sokka and you!
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: Blue Fish
When: 11th

[The feed turns on to Sokka looking exceptionally miserable, the Blue Fish's kitchen as his backdrop. He turns to wave a hand at the empty kitchen, because this is an important part to his point.]

Do you see that, Flooters? Do you know what that is? That is a kitchen devoid of a cook, which is just about the saddest thing in the universe. Even sadder than a turtleduck with one leg. It's that sad.

SO! Does any cook here want to help out the Blue Fish? We have every single upgrade at your disposal if you want to come cook for us! We even have frozen meat and fish, hunted fresh by your handsome captain here.

[He's turning on the puppy eyes. Don't stare too much into them, they'll steal your soul.]

Please. We might die. Pleeeeeaaaaaase feed us.

[Well, being a redundant cook, that gets Nightingale's attention.]

As in, come over occasionally to make things for you, or transfer to that ship entirely?

[Nnngh he was watching, but it's probably time to intervene before Sokka gets his hopes up]

Sorry, but I don't think you'd want to transfer entirely to my ship.

[Beverly is leaning on the doorpost of the kitchen, watching this with some skepticism... Albeit tinged with amusement.]

Sokka. We are not going to starve to death.

[alwayscomeback]

[BEVERLY YOU JUST DON'T GET IT. He waves at the empty kitchen. ]

Yes we will! Do any of us know how to cook? I don't think we do!!!

[He sits at the dining table, making a wistful sigh]

I miss Kairi already.

[alwayscomeback]

I miss her too. [Such sighing here, he KNOWS you get it, man. ]

She was the best cook. Like...the best.

[And because of that convo you're having brah. ]

Sooooo what's up with the blonde? Crazy? Evil? Crazy AND evil?

action!

[bolder]

[Toph's walking up right as Sokka does his broadcast. When he's done, she sighs herself.]

Normally I'd say something like 'Yeah, I see that!' and mock you. But this is pretty serious. I'm explaining the mocking, not even doing anything. Fix this.

[alwayscomeback]

Wow.

That's actually pretty serious, and I promise this will fix it. We'll get a cook again.

[There's a big, shit-eating grin on his face before he turns, addressing his crew more than anything, but making sure Blue Fish can hear him too.]

Well, Vanquish crew, what do you think? Should we let our two awesome cooks help them out a little bit?

[stickupherforehead]

...Isn't the paste already edible?

[Pearl isn't even looking up from whatever she's doing, but it doesn't take much effort to be an Insensitive Alien who doesn't need to eat.]

[touchofrogue]

Sure. [Listen, food is Very Important, okay?] But they need ta bring some of their rations over ta supplement what we've got. Prep's only gonna stretch what we've got so far.

...an' it might be a nice gesture of appreciation if we had access of some of those supplies for ourselves as well.

[SHE'S JUST SAYING. Because EVERY UPGRADE means coffee. C'mon, Eugene, you've got her back on this, right?]

[arcanepower]

[Those are definitely some puppy eyes.]

You look disgustingly pathetic.

Give me a list of any special dietary needs, such as vegetarianism or food allergies, and I will see what I can provide. But I am not leaving my ship.

video;

[alwayscomeback]

That's exactly the plan.

Allen's a vegetarian, but the rest of us will eat absolutely anything! You're awesome. Just so you know.

Awesome.

[limitstorm]

Oh, uh...

I already told Allen I'd help. Are you Sokka?

video;

[alwayscomeback]

Really?

I am, and you are now officially my new favourite person.

[unfulfilledpotential]

I'm not that great, man - but if you're gonna die otherwise, I think I can help out for a bit.

[For the record, his idea of cooking is soup. Lots and lots of soup.]

[alwayscomeback]

I knew there was a reason I liked you, Shawn. I really, really did.

[ino]

Oh, my god. You guys, it's been, like. An hour.

[takeabow]

What happened? They lose someone? It sounds kind of desperate...

[ hello hi hijacking this video ]

video;

[alwayscomeback]

An hour too long, Ino!!!

[goldenglasses]

[Do you hear that gross sobbing? That's the sound of someone agreeing with Sokka.] That's just awful! AWFUL!

[alwayscomeback]

[He knew you would understand, bro. HE KNEW!! ]

Isn't it? It's the worst thing!!!!

video.

[takeabow]

I don't know. This sounds like a personal problem

[ she's very dry in tone... it's a little hard to tell if she's kidding, but she is kidding. ]

video.

[alwayscomeback]

A personal SHIP problem. All of one, y'know.

[He totally hears the tone but chooses to ignore it. THEY'RE GONNA DIIIIIE. ]

video.

[mucked]

[ ...because she's been watching and as fascinating as this recruitment initiative might be, peggy has a question of far more pressing urgency: ] What the devil is a turtleduck?

video.

[alwayscomeback]

[Peggy there is a dire food emergency and you're asking about fauna? He pauses in his HORRIBLE WAILING to blink at her. Sometimes, he forgets that not everyone is from the same world as him.]

Uh. They're these birds that float in the water, and they have these [he gestures with his hands to make an oval] shells on their backs.

[mikangirl]

Ahh, you've got so many offers already. Your ship's gonna be crowded.

[Flippant, but she's a little disappointed. She'd totally have offered if she'd seen this earlier.]

[alwayscomeback]

No way, the more the merrier. We have have people divide the work, then.
