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

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

[goldenglasses]

The absolute worse! How will you survive?!

[alwayscomeback]

From the charity and goodwill of others! It's the only way.

[goldenglasses]

Be brave, Sokka! If anyone can survive this trying time! It will be you!

[Not that he's offering any of that charity thing.]

[alwayscomeback]

[Gee thanks pal. THANKS. ]

I just need to power through.

[goldenglasses]

Yeah! You can do it! I'll be cheering you on!

[alwayscomeback]

You're a bro. You really are.

[goldenglasses]

I know. I know. No need to say it, although you should keep saying it!

And maybe once in awhile I could send over some of the leftovers we have after Rapunzel cooks.

You know, if we ever have leftovers.

[alwayscomeback]

On the rare once-in-a-blue-moon chance that would happen, your donation would be greatly appreciated.

[goldenglasses]

It will be a difficult sacrifice, but anything for a friend.

[And on a slightly more serious note.]

Sorry you lost a crew-mate. Hope they made it home. [As Vash can understand there's many ways to deal with a loss. He's happy to play along with this one.]

[alwayscomeback]

You're good to us, Vash.

[His smile softens. He really does miss her. It's easier to joke abut it. If he stops joking about it, he'll have to deal with other losses too. Aang. Iroh. Hawke. Suki. And he can't bring himself to do that. Eyes forward.]

Yeah, me too. She deserves something good happening to her.

[goldenglasses]

Especially after trying to keep up with your stomach. Woe to your next cook.

[alwayscomeback]

Hey, I'm nothing compared to Allen. He makes me look like a picky eater.

[goldenglasses]

Oh, really? If that's the case I'm certainly glad I'm not you're cook. I'd probably never get the chance to see outside the kitchen.

[alwayscomeback]

It's a hard life, that's for sure.

[goldenglasses]

I fear for your next cook. May the lord have mercy for their soul! [That would have been more his friend's line back home, but it felt warranted to steal in this case.]

[alwayscomeback]

[The only lord he knows is the fire one so... ]

I'm pretty sure Zuko would just scowl at them.

[goldenglasses]

Oh yeah? Well, that's not very nice towards the poor person having to cook their poor selves to the bones for you two gluttons.

[alwayscomeback]

I dunno, Zuko's lost his touch with his scowling lately.

[goldenglasses]

[Oh! He meant a person type lord. Vash catches on with that.] So does that mean he smiles instead? That sounds like an improvement!

[alwayscomeback]

Not really? More...


Is there a name for a face that has pretty much no expression at all?

[goldenglasses]

Hmm, how about boring?

[alwayscomeback]

No, no, it's more intense than boring.

[goldenglasses]

Hm, what about penetrating?

[alwayscomeback]

...Ew. Dude, no.
