Rip-Van-Sokka II: Electric Boogaloo

[alwayscomeback]

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

[Sokka's been asleep for about two weeks, and he's certainly been busy in his dreaming state. When he wakes up and finds himself in his own captain bed, there's a brief moment of confusion. He'd only just been home, having a delicious meal, knowing his life, his Tribe faced an uncertain future. And now he's...on the Blue Fish. The name comes back to him with the low hum of the engine. Well, at least he knew what he was getting here, mostly.

He'll be getting up and exploring around, please feed him. He had the BEST food memory-dream.

And later, once he's learned a little more from his crew of the events he's missed, he turns on the network.]

So apparently, Atroma decided to let me sleep though us finally getting any kind of answers. Because that's funny. I'm laughing. I need details, guys, anything you can give me that you found out. Doesn't matter if I've heard it before, different perspectives are important.

[That's his latest Life Lesson He Learned. Yay.]

...And I'm sorry. For people who lost people. Seems there was a lot of that while I was asleep.

[Allen's relieved to see Sokka wake up again, he's missed him the past few weeks- especially with all the people who have left. But at the inquiry, he comes up rather...sheepish. Timcanpy can be seen fluttering behind him]

Ah, well...I'm still working on accessing the data I got.

[Sokka is so glad to see Allen, he really is. But dude. DUDE. ]

...Where did you put it that you can't get at-

...

Please tell me you didn't do the thing I think you did, Allen. Please tell me you didn't.

[goldkiss]

Hello! I'm new here and I was wondering... People have told me that sometimes this place puts you to sleep and when you wake up you have new memories from home.

Is that what happened to you?

[And even if the fact that Victor is just asking this flat out right after Sokka expressed some sympathy seems rude, there's just something so calm about the smile on his face - as if he doesn't realize he might be breaching some kind of etiquette]

[alwayscomeback]

[A stranger! Sokka offers him a smile all the same. ]

Oh hey. Welcome to the Fleet. And...yeah, that happened to me.

[And not everything was as great as he had hoped. Every time they solve one problem a new one arises and he's so damn tired of it. ]

It's happened before, actually. Second time around for me.

Sokka!

[ Maglor smiles to see him ]

I had feared you were one of those who had left us. Although tis a poor return, I suppose, even so, I am glad to see you again.

video - omg I swear I replied to this so sorry

[alwayscomeback]

Maglor!

[The grin is real and genuine. ]

Hey there, buddy. And no worries there, there's no getting rid of me yet. How'd you fare with all the...crazy?

[Oh finally, some good news. Riona's in desperate need of it. They all are.]

Good morning, sleepy.

[She tries to come across as teasing, but honestly, her heart's not in it right now. Beverly's loss is still heavily felt.]

[alwayscomeback]

[It's been a crappy time for everyone. Sokka offers her a smile. ]

Good morning yourself. I see the ship isn't on fire, so that's a good thing.

[Belthazar catches up to Sokka about an hour later, so he doesn't have to wait long. He kicks open Sokka's door for a dramatic entrance-- well, tries. His boots go ping ping ping on the metal but they don't do much, so he has to reorient himself and push it open, then bring in his little rolling cart of food.

There's a five course meal on here and it's all meat... except for a cake. The cake was necessary, since nothing is better than buttercream after a nap.]

There. Let no one say that I do not care for my crewmates! [He pushes past the cart to, of course, give Sokka a big hug. He weighs about as much as a washcloth when wet so it shouldn't dislodge him too badly.]

[alwayscomeback]

[This is Sokka, rather confused by the gentle pinging, before here comes Belth. Such a dramatic entrance, gosh, wow. He's about to make a sarcastic comment about it but oh- food!

He sure is getting a hug for that. Not just for the food, either.
Jesus, Belth, put some weight on, it's like hugging a tiny stick.]

Your kindness will be sung about for centuries. Hey buddy.

[tallasaking]

Good morning, Sokka.

[Tyrion put his journal on the bar, and waggled it at the video camera.]

Would you like to read my particular notes of everything I have found?

Video

[alwayscomeback]

[Sokka grins, yes good, this is useful. ]

Tyrion have I ever mentioned before that you're amazing? Because I really think it needs to be mentioned more often.

action!

[deviances]

[ Eithan spots Sokka in the hallway, and immediately grins, hurrying over. He's clearly glad to see him awake again. ]

Sokka! You're okay! Heh, good mornin'.

action!

[alwayscomeback]

[Sokka grins wide, glad to see Eithan at least. There's one thing that hasn't changed. ]

Hey, I sure am. Not dead or anything. What'd I miss?

[castintoflames]

Many left our ranks to return to the worlds they know. We mustn't mourn them. (For the most part, at least. Some return to less than ideal circumstances.) Take it slow, friend. You will acquire all the knowledge you seek.

(Video)

[alwayscomeback]

I think I'm gonna have a good mourn anyway.

[Beverly is gone now, and that leaves a hole in his heart he's not sure he can mend. Especially with the new memories of home swirling in his head. He needs this. This distraction. ]

I wanna take it fast. I need to know everything.

[Because that's the healthy way to deal with it, yep. ]

[namisan]

Did you hear how the Marsiva has fully armed cannons?

[alwayscomeback]

WHAT?!!!!

[No. No he did not. ]

Like actual we-could-be-killed-any-second cannons? THOSE kind of cannons???!!!

[Video]

[padadin]

[Gentle smile and sympathetic eyes for notLance.]

Welcome back, Sokka. I wouldn't recommend talking about that on the network. Have they told you about the cannon yet?

[Video]

[alwayscomeback]

[Hey buddy old pal. ]

They're always listening huh?

Yeah. I'm still trying to process it. They could kill any of us any second they like. That's...pretty freaking terrifying.

[spacebro]

Are we supposed to talk about that on the network? [He doesn't really know, but it doesn't sound like a good plan.] And hi. I'm Non-El. I don't think we've met yet.

[alwayscomeback]

I honestly have no idea, I literally slept through everything.

[He says, whiny. ]

Nice to meetcha, Mon-El. I'm Sokka.

[nugqueen]

Welcome back. If you like I can brief you away from the network.

video;

[alwayscomeback]

Sure, Leliana. That'd be a big help, thanks.

Video. water tribe/ice skating buddies?

[pork_bowl]

Hey there! Are you okay? I had no idea that could happen... ah, sorry. I'm new here... but are you okay. Can I help you at all?

My crew is pretty sad after losing people _{[Kitty remained in his mind]} I'm sorry about who you lost too... as much as I think going home is for the best for everyone...

My name is Yuri, what's yours?

Aww yee

[alwayscomeback]

Oh, hey, new person. Yuri. I'm Sokka.

Don't worry about me, this isn't my first going home rodeo. It happens sometimes, nothing a couple hours acclimatising back to being here won't fix, I promise.

[The loss of Beverly stings, he wonders if this guy knew her to be aware of it. He'd hope so, it was good for her to make friends. ]

Yeah well...you can't really avoid it. It's one of those things I plan to get back at Atroma for one day.

[tempredmental]

[Oh, hey... it's the guy with the forge idea.]

Hey, you're back. Want to meet me on the Iskaulit?

video

[alwayscomeback]

[He smiles, oh hey dude! ]

I sure am, and sure. I can make my way there now, if you want?
