Mingling with the Fishes

[save_the_souls]

Who: SS Blue Fish and Anyone visiting!
Broadcast: MAYBE???
Action: SS. Blue Fish!
When: After the Shuffle to...idk whenever

[Welcome new crew and visitors to the SS Blue Fish! There's been some additions to the crew, some grievous losses and some activity as they prepare these finale days to leave the planet of Mor. Don't mind the two cats and large amounts of meat being stored. Since Blue Fish lacks a pilot, the ship can still be found docked in Mor's volcano until they leave the planet for anyone who wants to drop by for a visit!]

[In other words, get in here and mingle!]

[After a particular hard punch that makes Punchy go swinging- Allen hears Sokka talking and turns his head]

Huh Sok-

[And of course, since Allen is a dumbass that never to bothered to learn about the pendulum effect- he gets cut off by Punching swinging back and smacking him]

- Ah!

[alwayscomeback]

[Sokka winces as he watches Allen get punched by Punchy. Such poetic irony.]

Or....you can do that. [Gonna wave a hand obnoxiously in front of Allen's face. ]

HAVE-YOU-GOT-CON-CUSS-ION?

[save_the_souls]

Ugh-

[Luckily, it didn't break anything. Just slammed into his chest and what not. So he stumbles back to recover from that tumble- only to have Sokka waving in his face and yelling]

- No! I'm fine! Why are you yelling?!

[alwayscomeback]

I thought you got a head injury.

[Holds up three fingers. ]

How many fingers am I holding up?

[save_the_souls]

And the answer to a head injury is to yell?

[SOKKA...]

Three! I'm fine!

[alwayscomeback]

I don't know. Probably?

[Ok cool, cool. He stands back. ]

You probably should have ducked.

[save_the_souls]

[He makes an annoyed sound] Yes, thank you. I'll remember that.

Now what were you saying?

[alwayscomeback]

Oh. Right.

How're you doing? You've been...weird lately. Scurrying off a lot.

[save_the_souls]

I'm not- [Okay so he's weird, he knows that] I don't scurry.

[He gives a little huff. Right. He knows that answer won't suffice and Sokka just cares so he'll...try to ease up a little]

I'm...fine. Really. Just sorting out some feelings, that's all.

[alwayscomeback]

You so scurry.

[He frowns, but it's not angry. He really is concerned. ]

Is this something to do with Katara? I mean, you guys knew each other...before. Did something happen?

[save_the_souls]

Do not.

[Allen not everything is an argument. He takes a deep breath]

No- no nothing happened between us. [At all. Ever. Like no robots please] It's just...it's complicated. And strange. If I explained, you'd probably just stare at me like I'm crazy. [Since that's what you tend to do when he says something you don't get Sokka]

But really, it's not important. I'll be fine.

[alwayscomeback]

Do too.

[He considers. ]

Yeah, I know, I probably would. But I'd rather things not be...weird between you two. You both kinda important so.

[save_the_souls]

It won't be weird between us, I promis-

[Wait, what?]

I'm...important?

[alwayscomeback]

[Sokka gives an 'uuugh' sound, waving his hands to shush Allen. ]

Well, duh. I wouldn't have made you First Mate if you weren't.

[save_the_souls]

Oh...

[Awwww. that makes him actually smile sincerely]

...Thanks. That's nice to hear. [With half of the people in his life being emotionally inept, it's not often he hears it]

Ah- you're important to me too!

[alwayscomeback]

[Aww that gets a smile. ]

Great! And now I think we need to do something...uh manly. To make up for that.

[save_the_souls]

Ah...right!

Um- [What's manly???] Are you any good at hand to hand?

[alwayscomeback]

[A grin!]

Sure am, my girlfriend taught me a thing or two.

[save_the_souls]

Good! Then we can spar.

Don't worry, I promise not to be as hard on you as I was the punching bag.

[alwayscomeback]

[He looks at the punching bag. ]

Poor Punchy. Never saw it coming.

[save_the_souls]

...You named it?

[alwayscomeback]

Well, yeah. It gives the place character.

[save_the_souls]

[He gives a small laugh]

I see. Well, I think she has as much character as her crew.

[alwayscomeback]

Yeah. I think that's important.

[Mostly because his last mode of transport was sentient.]

[save_the_souls]

[he looks around and nods] Mm. She's a good ship.

[Then, looking back at Sokka]

Now come on. I need to kick your arse.
