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.

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

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

[ hello hi hijacking this video ]

[ino]

The cook for their ship left. And they're acting like they're going to starve.

[takeabow]

Aren't there regular rations for that possibility...?

[ino]

Yes. They're just being overdramatic.

[takeabow]

Fair.

We just got a cook. He's pretty good, actually, though I'll eat almost anything.

[ look at all this friendly, chill conversation ]

[ino]

Oh? Who is it?

[takeabow]

His name is Souji Seta?

[ino]

Oh! I think I met him the other day, when he was still on the Marsiva. He seemed pretty excited to be able to help out.

[takeabow]

Yeah, we've talked a bit. He's nice. I think our crew is pretty good at this point.

[ino]

Who else do you have? Anyone exciting?

[takeabow]

Stiles switched. Did I tell you that? And our captain is cool. I like her.

[ino]

Yeah, you mentioned it. Is he settling in alright?

[ Since they were talking about meeting each other's boyfriends and all ]

Who's your captain?

An hour too long, Ino!!!

[ino]

There are plenty of other ships who haven't had a cook ever, and they're doing just fine.

video;

[alwayscomeback]

They're not us. We need food. Do you know how much me and Allen eat in a day?

A. LOT!

[ino]

Have you thought about taking drastic measures like -- learning how to cook yourself?

video;

[alwayscomeback]

I don't cook. I hunt, I skin, I prepare. I don't cook.

video;

[ino]

And why is that?

video;

[alwayscomeback]

[He very almost says "because I'm a GUY", but he stops himself. Women get mad when he does that and he's trying to have a better worldview on such things.]

Because it would end in disaster. Everyone would be poisoned.

[ino]

[ Yeah, he would be curled up in the fetal position crying afterwards if he had said that to Ino, whoops. ]

That's why you practice and learn how to do it properly. Most people aren't just naturally good at it.

[Horrible pain AVERTED. ]

Kairi was! She was amazing. And at like...bringing people together. She really loved it, y'know? I can't compare with that.

[ino]

[ She lets out a little sigh. ]

I'm not saying you have to replace her as cook or anything like that. I'm just saying if you learned how to make your own food sometime then this wouldn't be a so-called emergency.

[alwayscomeback]

I think you're missing how much me and Allen actually eat, here. Trust me, not having a full time cook her consists as an emergency.

video;

[ino]

Sokka, I have cooked multiple meals over many years for Allen, and one of my closest friends at home eats about as much. I'm not missing anything.

There's no guarantee anyone you might get as a cook will stick around. You shouldn't rely on that alone.
