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.

[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?

[save_the_souls]

Mm, she always made the best stews....!

[And sweets, and food and EVERYTHING. But he shakes his head]

No, neither of those. She just has a... [How to say it without giving away personal information about her] It's a strange situation, something about her makes my eye power go off, that's all.

[alwayscomeback]

She really did.

[It's like losing a LIMB. ]

Ohhhh, okay, that'd make sense. So, you want her avoiding us?

[He wants to know the basic score, so at least he can make an informed decision. ]

[save_the_souls]

No, it's fine if she comes aboard- she doesn't mean any harm, really.

Just let me know which days she'll be over, and I can arrange to have dinner with Ino or Alex or Clay if I'm not sure I can keep my eye in check. [Maybe Crowley, but he's pretty sure Crowley's dinner menu is just fermented grapes] It's not a problem.

[alwayscomeback]

[The Fleet has offered nothing to satisfy Crowley's exceptional rich ass palette, so yes. Fermented grapes. ]

I don't know, man. I like us all to eat together, you know? If one of us can't have, it's not really fair.

[save_the_souls]

Well it wouldn't be every night! Look at all the offers we're getting! I'll still be here most nights.

Just think of it as a way to give me incentive to go out on dates. [YOU'RE BEING A GOOD WINGMAN BY EATING FOOD! YEAH!!]

[alwayscomeback]

Ooooooh, I do like that idea. You really do need more dates.

Okay, I'll work something out, and we can work in days so you can avoid any eye trouble.

[save_the_souls]

[He laughs] I thought you'd like that!

[It does work out really. It'd be too easy for him to get too absorbed in his work unless he was given an incentive to leave for an evening. But he'll look through the messages more indepthly]

And hey, Belthazar and Riku replied too! That's great!

[alwayscomeback]

[And Sokka knows that. Allen needs a day off, too. ]

We have our own little army of cooks. It'll be the best.

[save_the_souls]

[He grins at that.] I'd like an army like that.

I'll go over our budget. We should have extra in our upgrade budgets to give them some pay if they want it. It would be only fair.

[alwayscomeback]

Yeah, that's a fair deal. Until we can get a cook of our own again, anyway. You gotta pay for an important service like that.

[save_the_souls]

Mm, exactly! And it's always good to better relations with other ships.

Just get me a list of cooks you find, and what kind of payment they want- and I'll see what I can do.

[alwayscomeback]

Allen you are literally the best. My life would be a mess without you.

[NEVER LEAVE HIM. ]

[save_the_souls]

[That makes him grin]

It's nothing. Anything for the best crew in the fleet.

[alwayscomeback]

Darn right. We got to make sure we stay on top. No one can take our crown.

[save_the_souls]

I...don't think there is a crown, Captain.

[alwayscomeback]

Maybe we should have a crown.

[save_the_souls]

No.

[alwayscomeback]

Awwwww come on. It'd look so cool.

[save_the_souls]

Nooo.

I don't want to big your head would get from having one.

[alwayscomeback]

It's not for my head. [Frantic arm gestures are go. ] I want it to go on top of the ship.

[save_the_souls]

We're not getting a crown big enough for the ship.

[alwayscomeback]

I'm sure we could get some scrap metal...

[save_the_souls]

[reaching over and flicking him in the forehead]

No.
