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.

[ Well, that's... an interesting revelation. ]

I'm sure I would be flattered if my lover made art of me.

[alwayscomeback]

Yeah? Maybe he...she? Will do it sometime for you!

[howcanihelp]

She. Ah, sort of. Well, she may have sort of-- it's complicated. I haven't seen her for a year. It's a long story. I don't think she would, anyway, she's not the overly romantic type.

[ awkwaaaaard, why does she open her mouth? ]

Ah, I'm Stephanie, by the way.

[alwayscomeback]

Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. It's always hard being away from the one you love.

Nice to meetcha, I'm Sokka.

[howcanihelp]

[ tiny sigh ] Yes. Yes it is.

[ but let's not be morose! ]

It's lovely to meet you as well! Now, you say your Suki, she fights mostly with a fan? How does she manage that?

[ priorities! ]

[alwayscomeback]

It's made of metal. She showed me a little about what they do. It's all about stealth and agility. It's pretty darn cool, I mean, you haven't seen anything until you watch her scale a wall.

[howcanihelp]

That sounds amazing! I wish she could meet my friend back home, I'm sure Leliana would love to learn a fighting style that uses such a feminine weapon.

[alwayscomeback]

Yeah? If they ever end up here, I'm sure she'd love to. She's always happy to train anyone willing to learn.

[howcanihelp]

I might try too, in that case, if she's ever here - I can't possibly be any worse with a fan than I was with knives.

[alwayscomeback]

Knives, huh? I know a girl who fights with throwing knives.

...She's pretty terrifying, actually.
