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.

Something of one, in any case!

[ He smiles and shakes his head a little ]

And you? You will be well?

[alwayscomeback]

I'm...pretty good. Glad to be awake and back with you guys.

[It's better than trying to focus on everything going on back home. ]

[bythewaves]

[ Meaning things are not so good at home, Maglor guesses, but he'll do Sokka the kindness of not bringing it up ]

I am glad you have sustained no hurt. [ Physically, anyway ]

Would you like some company for a meal?

[alwayscomeback]

[Maglor is a true bro.]

Nah, no hurt at all.

I'd never say no to company and food. They're both things I love a lot, if you never noticed before.

[Like, if you were blind or something. ]

[bythewaves]

[ He tries! ]

Well, perhaps I might have maybe had an inkling. [ He laughs ]

Have you a prefered locale? [ They only really have two to chose from but CHOICE IS CHOICE ]

[alwayscomeback]

Let's go to the Space Bar. Allen's uncle runs the other one and he's pretty skeevy.

[bythewaves]

Allen? The young man who runs the blood drive? I did not know he had kin here.

[alwayscomeback]

Yeah, that's him. I don't think they're like blood related or anything. Pretty sure the guy is like a BILLION years old. But Allen calls him family, so-

[ Maglor hums ]

Oh? An elf like my folk or something different, I wonder. But I suppose folk do tend to take to each other, here - we rather have to, a little!

[alwayscomeback]

Yeah, I mean, I have my blood family, but I have friends I consider my family, too. I wouldn't be who I am today without them.

But here? Yeah, we got to get close to one another to survive. It's important.

[bythewaves]

Aye, I agree. We make family as we go, but in situations like this, it is as important to stay together.

[alwayscomeback]

Yeah, it really is. If we haven't got anyone with us, what have we got?

[bythewaves]

Even so! If there is any comfort to be found it is with good companions.
