004 - My Funny Valentine

[alwayscomeback]

Who: Sokka and YOU!!
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: Blue Fish
When: Today

[Okay, so the date's wrong, but Sokka in his hyperactive state didn't pay much attention to the details anyway. What was important to him, was that there was a celebration honouring the one you loved and that needed to be addressed.

So, he waves excitedly at the camera, trying to focus it on...an odd 'statue' in the cargo bay of the Blue Fish. He'd considered putting it together on one of the moons, but that would have just been weird, so in the ship he went. It doesn't really look like anything, except for a weird blob made of of bits of melted metal. For some reason, it's holding a fan.]

HEY GUYS!!! I know that Vahl-in-tynes thing is ...soon? Soon! So I made this statue for the lady of my heart, Suki!

[It doesn't look like a lady. It doesn't even look human.]

So Suki is a pretty awesome gal. She kicks butt all the time, and usually does it with just a fan, isn't that amazing? She's part of this all girls warrior group and she could kick all your butts with her hands tied behind her back. AND she's beautiful and smart to boot!

[He winks at the camera] Baby, I know you can't see this, but I miss you and I really hope you're okay, I'll be back before you know it.

My, my. What an interesting interpretation.

[WOW.]

Now, what species might she be, hm?

[alwayscomeback]

Thank yo-

HEY! She's a human!!!

[parricida]

Well, I hardly wanted to assume.

[So Alex has been pretty much avoiding the rest of the crew because he'd liked to not get punched again, but his jerk senses are tingling and he wanders toward the cargo bay where he spots Sokka and that...let's call it a statue. Statue totally works. He raises an eyebrow at it and then looks over at Sokka.]

...nice statue. The fuck is it supposed to be?

[alwayscomeback]

[Sokka turns to give him a look, yeah, he saw went on on the Network and you, sir, are a douche and not welcome on his ship.]

It's a statue.

Guess it's not Saturday, yet. You still being here and all.

[selfperpetuate]

[Wow, it took him that long to realize he was a douche. That's a record.]

Yeah, I figured that one out by myself, dumbass. I was asking what it's a statue of.

Not yet. You're stuck with me for a couple more days. Suck it up, cupcake, and don't worry, I'm going to be on my best behavior for you and the rest of the sunshine brigade.

[He could have stopped this. This all could have been prevented. But he didn't. He let this pass. Had it really been the right choice?]

[He still isn't sure. Instead, he's in the corner of the cargo bay by the exercise equipment- watching this...whatever this is occur. Also trying to figure out how that blob is supposed to be a girlfriend.]

[Either way, he's lost for words. Is this his fault?]

[alwayscomeback]

[This is totally his fault, but Sokka looks happy. Still crazy, but happy. He grins like a lunatic in Allen's direction. ]

I really think I captured her this time around.

[save_the_souls]

[Maybe...it's supposed to be modern art? He never understood that stuff anyway.]

[But oh, Sokka is saying something. It's time to...well, BS]

Yes, it...really seems to be full of...spirit?

[ladiesss]

[.........]

That's cute. That's disgustingly cute.

[alwayscomeback]

THANK you! I thought you'd dig it.

[howcanihelp]

[ Well... it's the thought that counts, right? Though she's not heard of this Vahl-in-tynes thing yet, and she doesn't know this young man so maybe she shouldn't say anything? ...NAH. ]

I'm sure she would be very flattered, if she were here.

[ Seriously though, what IS that? ]

[alwayscomeback]

[Sokka took what he wanted to hear about the holiday and turned it into...this. He'll probably regret it after. ]

I know she'd love it. She always loves when I make art of her.

[Apparently it's art?]

[aberrant_type]

[... Oh, that is just charming.]

I'm sure she'd love it, kiddo!

[alwayscomeback]

You really think so? I think it looks just like her.

[Sokka, no.]

[Adachi didn't say anything. He couldn't. The whole video was just too asinine. If he didn't hold back, he would certainly end up in an uncontrollable laughing fit. Either this kid was stupid, or he clearly was high on some kind of substance. Admittedly though, it made for a good viewing experience. So Adachi will wait and watch quietly with a rather bemused expression on his face. He may omit a few snorts or suppressed chortles. In fact, the one thing that would make this whole show better would be some popcorn. Or whatever he could find as the closest substitute.]

[alwayscomeback]

[Sokka doesn't notice, or he;s pointedly ignoring the snorts. It's hard to tell. He starts humming, loudly, re-arranging the bits of cloth that make the creation's 'hair'. ]

[When Ludger witnesses it, and all that it means, he has to give a round of applause. Good for you, Sokka! Good for you for unconditionally loving your horrible inhuman alien girlfriend, or whatever she is. He then offers Sokka a supportive double thumbs up. Truly, this is a work of love.]

[alwayscomeback]

[You are a good guy, Ludger. Sure the cat thing is weird, and you're kinda creepy, but you cool delicious food and you're not an asshole.]

Thanks, man. I think this one really captures her.

[hearsthesea]

That's...sweet.

[Shirley's got no idea what that statue's supposed to be, but the sentiment is nice enough.]

Do you make things like this for her often?

[alwayscomeback]

[He beams, damn right it's sweet!! ]

Uh huh, she loves it!

[That's...an overstatement. The word he's looking for is 'tolerates'. ]

[got_it_memorized]

[He bites the corners of his mouth to keep from laughing. Well, that sculpture sure is something.]

That's... inventive. How'd you make it?

[alwayscomeback]

I got lots of spare parts that I use to make useful stuff, I thought, hey why not put it to good use and make something pretty for the lady I love!

[transferedfate]

[she's staring at this post. SHE TURNED ON HER DEVICE WITH THE INTENTION TO APOLOGIZE FOR BEING A RUDE BUT...
