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.

Less of a drain on resources for the rest of us?

[alwayscomeback]

Wow. That's stone cold.

[takeabow]

...I don't really mean anything by it.

[alwayscomeback]

Stone. Co-

Oh. I thought we were doing a skit.

[takeabow]

A skit?

[ now she's just confused. good going, sokka ]

[alwayscomeback]

You know, a bit of back and forth banter. Fun!

[takeabow]

Oh.

I was trying, but then I don't really know you so I didn't know if you thought I was being serious or...

Sorry.

[alwayscomeback]

It's okay. It looks like you're new to this kinda thing.

[takeabow]

Humor? Apparently.

[alwayscomeback]

I'm sure you'll get it eventually. Hang on in there.

[takeabow]

Gee. Thanks.

I'm Nova.

[alwayscomeback]

Noooo problemo.

Name's Sokka. Nice to meetcha.

[takeabow]

Hope you don't starve to death soon.

[alwayscomeback]

Me too. It'd be a tragedy for everyone.

[takeabow]

Yeah. Otherwise they'd have to make a video about how they need to fill your position on the ship.

[alwayscomeback]

I hope they'd give me a fitting send-off. My picture surrounded by candles. A lot of sobbing. Stuff like that.

[takeabow]

I'll personally eulogize you.

[alwayscomeback]

That's good of you. You've touched the cockles of my heart.

[takeabow]

"And out of the airlock goes someone whose name I've already forgotten."

[alwayscomeback]

Remember to have a single tear drip down your cheek. It seals the deal.

[takeabow]

Yeah, I know that much. This is not my first reality show.

[alwayscomeback]

Wow, really?

[She has just put herself up high on his List of Possible Helpful People. ]

So do you know how to win?

[takeabow]

[ her tone changes slightly ]

No. Not here.

[alwayscomeback]

Well, no. Not here. But if you know how to win the other one, well, maybe it'll clue is in on doing it here.

[takeabow]

[ you're really not ready for this jelly ]

To win the last one, you had to be the last one alive.

So no, it won't help.
