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.

I guess you know just about everything there is to know about this place except for the sleeping interludes. [And still hasn't gotten out. Not promising.]

[alwayscomeback]

[He gives a soft laugh. ]

Well, I try. And I did seem to miss a ton during my aforementioned nap, which is just typical. You wait two years for a big info dump and one happens while you're sleeping.

[spacebro]

Well, maybe you'll be up for the next one. And I don't think the last one got us to the point of leaving. [As evidenced by all this being here nonsense.]

[alwayscomeback]

That is true, and at least I still have some note I can look over, see what I can work out. It's not a total bust.

Besides, being asleep meant I got to see my dad again.

[spacebro]

That must have been great. [Some fathers aren't scary, right?] Has he ever visited here? [Now, that's a chilling thought—parents coming here.]

[alwayscomeback]

It was, I really missed him.

[Some fathers are actually GREAT, Mon-El. He smiles. ]

Nah, and I'm glad for that. He'd hate it here, not being able to get people free.

[spacebro]

He really cares about people like that? Like a hero? [This term is used aaaaall the time back home.]

(OOC: So sorry for this extremely late reply!)

[alwayscomeback]

[Sokka smiles, genuinely.]

He is! I always looked up to him. All he wants is what's best for people, to make sure no one suffers. He's a real hero.

(NOPE YOU'RE STILL A MONSTER GOSH WOW GOSH HOW DARE)

[spacebro]

[What is your life, Sokka? Fathers are supposed to be evil or dead. That's what he's learned from every single person he's met on Earth. Wow...it's like he's in the Disney animated version of life, isn't it?]

It must be a lot to live up to with such a good role model. [His bar is low, Sokka. It's so low.]

(OOC: The monster at the end of this thread was lovable, furry old Haunt all along! And you were sooooo scared.)

[alwayscomeback]

[He is, he's got the Disney-dead-mother and everything to go with it! ]

Sometimes? I just try to do my best, be as good a leader as I can be. Sure, I make mistakes, but I try to learn from them, y'know?

(OOC: I was so fooled gosh)

[spacebro]

Mistakes have bigger stakes when you're taking care of more than yourself though. [It's something that has held him back at times more so than anything he's worried about Sokka not realizing or doing.]

[alwayscomeback]

[Sokka's smile falters considerably. ]

I- yeah. I've learned that one the hard way.
