Who: Sokka and you!
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: SS Blue Fish
When: Sunday 5th

[Sokka keeps tabs on his crew a lot, but there's a few scant people outside of the Blue Fish he absolutely tried to check up on as and when he can. After the...weird hyperactivity effects he'd experienced wore off, he made to check up on exactly one of those people. And his search came up empty.

So, he turns on the video, stepping out of one of the shuttles and heading through the hallways of the Blue Fish, heading to the bridge]

I'm not sure who she knew all that much, so I'm making this public in case anyone's missed it and gets worried about her.

[He flops down into his captain's chair with a heavy sigh. This sucks.]

Korra's gone. Home, hopefully. Which is probably a better thing for her. Important Avatar business and all that.

[And then there was one. Again.]

Her too?

[First Kanda, and now Korra? This is not at all an easy week. He lets out a sigh from his own spot]

Damn ... I'm going to miss her.

[alwayscomeback]

Me too.

[She was a link back home- back to the Southern Water Tribe. He thinks the world of his crew, but Korra understood things no one here ever really would. Not from lack of trying, heck, half the Gaang wouldn't really be able to offer that understanding either.]

I really hope she got back.

[save_the_souls]

Yeah...me too.

[His shoulders slump a little]

I'm sorry, Sokka.

[alwayscomeback]

It's okay. She'll be happier back there. It's where she belongs.

[At her right time, along with people who aren't from the past. ]

I know she was missing home.

[save_the_souls]

Yeah...

But I bet she was happy to meet you. Or at least...young you? [Possibly. He never really asked about the future from Korra. Some things are better off not knowing]

[It's hard for Wanda to not hide the look of surprise and hurt she's feeling at this news.]

I- I had just left a, um... a gift for her outside her- her door this morning... I don't know if you happened to pick it up.

[Wanda looks about ready to start crying.]

I... I had missed giving it to her... on Christmas...

Video

[alwayscomeback]

[Oh no, Wanda, don't cry. He looks almost pained. ]

I saw it, but I left it. It wasn't mine.

[He exhales softly, rubbing the back of his head. ]

I'm sorry. Were you guys close?

Video

[notmutantbutmiracle]

[The thought of going back to pick it up... the fact she had never been able to give Korra her present, to make it up to her friend for how she'd behaved while her memories were gone... it all just hurt too much. She does her best to keep any tears back.]

I... I'll go and retrieve later... I suppose...

She was a friend. I'd hoped we'd get to know each other even better, but...

[Wanda lets her voice trail off.]

Video

[alwayscomeback]

But Atroma has a crappy sense of timing.

[He does manage the slightest of smiles. It's not much, not by a long shot. ]

I'm glad she got some friends here. People she could talk to.

[People who weren't weird younger versions of people who are geriatric in her time. ]

[notmutantbutmiracle]

[Wanda nods. The tears are bubbling there just below the surface, but she's not letting them fall. She's trying to be strong. She's already seen so many friends come and go... some still just hurt a whole lot.]

She was... so very friendly. Very kind. Always cheerful.

[Wanda half giggles, half chokes on the effort to keep from crying.]

I'll miss her. A lot.

How did you two know each other?

video.

[brainiest]

She'll... Be back with Mako and Bolin, right?

[ Or back in the Drabwurld, remembering her, but Hermione doesn't want to think about that. ]

I'm sorry she's gone, but I'm sure she'll be happier at home.

video.

[alwayscomeback]

Hopefully so. I'm never a hundred per cent sure if we go home or not, but maybe she did.

[He doesn't trust Atroma enough to have complete faith in that idea.]

She would be. It's where she belongs. All her friends and family are there.

video.

[brainiest]

I'd like to think so. That's what happened in the last world I was in, in the end.

[ She didn't trust the monarchs either, but - she wants to have some kind of hope. ]

Did you know her? In her world?

video.

[alwayscomeback]

We can but hope, right?

[Oh sweet jimmies how to even start explaining this. ]

Uhhhhh yes and no? We're from the same world, but she'd from the future. Aaaaaaand kind of the reincarnation of one of my best friends.

...It's weird, I know, just roll with it.

video.

[brainiest]

Oh... No, I definitely understand that.

[ Her nose wrinkles, just a little. ]

My best friend's mother is here and she has no idea that I'm her son's best friend - I don't even know if she knows she has a son, really. So, um, I get it.

[ she doesn't dare intrude upon his sadness. so, instead, she offers him the same distance and comfort he'd offered her when her brothers left. ]

Is there anything I can do to help?

[alwayscomeback]

[Sansa. He can't help but smile a little as her message pops up. He's instantly reminded of when Bran and Jon vanished, and so her request only has one real answer, truly. ]

I could really use some tea and your lovely company.

[steeledskin]

We could meet in the kitchen. Or, mayhaps, my solar.

[ solar. it's what she's settled on calling her 'personnel office' -- the word makes more sense to her ever since she's started to reconsider herself as a political entity within the fleet. robb needs all the help he can get. ]

[alwayscomeback]

[At least he knows what she means. It works better. Sounds much more like her than office. Office sounds too clinical. ]

Your solar it is. I'll be there soon

[steeledskin]

Please -- wait for me there if the room is empty. I won't be long. Every time I make tea the process seems quicker and quicker.

[ or she's just getting used to doing things for herself. ]

[Not long after Sokka has made his announcement through the communicator Robb appears in his chambers.]

I am sorry that she left, captain. [He means it, yet his voice sounds different in his ears.] I may hope she is happier back home than here.

[While he talks he studies his captain's face, not sure if this is the moment to request a couple of days leave.]

[action]

[alwayscomeback]

[It's always a good moment, buddy. Sokka offers a small, tired smile. ]

It's okay, she will be. She's a pretty important figure, back home- in her time. She's where she belongs.

[If there's one thing that he's learned, it's that the world will ALWAYS need its Avatar. ]

[action]

[kingofbadlifechoices]

That is good to hear. [He nods. Happiness is such an important thing.] No one belongs here. Even when we try to make the best of it.

Still, it is always difficult to lose a friend.

[He leans against the door.]

I also wanted to make a request.

[action]

[alwayscomeback]

That's true, but I still plan to turn this into a good thing, one day. Being stuck here.

[He's going to find a better life for those with no life to go back to. He's determined to do that much. He won't allow Atroma even the smallest of victories, here.

He glances, up surprised.]

What do you need?

[action]

[kingofbadlifechoices]

[There is a small joke on the tip of his tongue but he decides to refrain from it. It would not be nice to refer to the lump of stone that represented his lady Suki and the fact that she looks like, well, more of a lump than a woman.]

It is not too bad. All things considered. It beats being dead, I can tell you.

[Robb straightens his shoulders.]

I wish to spend a couple of days at my lady mother's place. I know we are in the middle of repairs and all... [But I need to get away...]
