008 [Video]

Who: Sokka and YOU
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: The Blue Fish
When: Not too long after the shuffle

[When Sokka turns on the feed he looks a mixture of annoyed and miserable. It's hard to tell, but if you squint, it seems annoyance is winning out. He is SO DONE right now. There is a strange looking bird perched on the back of his captain's chair, which seems disinterested in everything. He also appears to be eating some weird goop out of a bowl? Maybe it's ice cream?

(Spoilers: it's not ice cream)
]

So for those of you keeping track, my world still seems the favourite for Most People Leaving In The Shortest Time Possible award. Both Zuko and Toph have gone. I even checked to see if Zuko was off emo-ing somewhere, but nope, he's gone.

[He waves his spoon at the screen and some of the greeny-goop drops from it with a wet splot. Sokka doesn't care, though. He's going into Rant Mode.]

As you can see, though, I'm still here! YEP. I don't go anywhere. I'm stuck here, forever. Nooooo going home for me. Nope. But hey, there's a girl from the future who's the reincarnation of my someday-dead friend, so wooooooooooo, I'm not completely alone. That's swell. Isn't that swell?

[That might be a bitter and slightly crazy laugh as he slouches back into his captain's chair, swinging it back and forth a little. Hawky screeches and flaps his wings a little, trying to regain some balance. Sokka reaches up to absently pat his little hawk head.]

Now all I need is Azula coming back and it'll be the best month ever.

Sokka...

[She's not sure what to do or say about any of this. Katara was gone and now Zuko and Toph? Before she'd even gotten to see them. It's clear Sokka's unhappy too. She sort of wishes she could trade places with one of them, so that he wouldn't be alone. Then again she is pretty alone too. None of her friends are here either. Except him.]

Is there anything I can do? I mean- I'm here if you need anything. I'm sorry.

[Ugh way to put your foot in it, Korra. What he probably wants is what she can't do.]

[Really, she understands. In his position she'd probably feel the same. Still, she's glad for the change of subject. Best they not dwell on things they can't really control.]

I'm doing fine! A little sad I didn't get to see Lord Zuko or Toph, but I've been settling in fine. Still trying to learn how to pilot. It's one thing to have the augment teach you but then to be good at it is another thing.

[She's just glad nothing has been damaged yet. 8|]

Airships aren't really my thing, but my - [Crush? Girlfriend? What to call her at this point in time. There's been no spirit world adventures into the sunset yet.] friend, Asami builds them so she's taught me a little here and there and the augment has filled in the rest.

Yeah - these ships are kind of similar but still more intimidating. Then again Asami just makes it look effortless, I think.

[See? Smiling!! This is a good thing.]

Yeah! She and her father built a company together and she runs it by herself now. She just built an entire rail road system too connecting Republic City to some other parts of the Earth Kingdom.

[Hold up.


Someone let the blind girl fly an airship????

EXCUSE THE SILENCE ON HER END SHE'S TURNING THIS OVER IN HER HEAD.
]

Wait- how?

[Then again Toph was an old woman and still beat her senseless. She is pretty amazing.]

[Hang on she's still trying to imagine Toph flying a ship.]

I... guess that makes sense. About as much sense as everything else about this place.

[Because bending totally makes more sense.]
