driftfleet | Video: Did you change your hair? (OTA)

Who: Sokka and YOU!
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: The Forge, Iskaulit
When: 3/12

[When the feed comes on, it's absolutely Sokka's forge in the background, but the person in the foreground is pretty damn different. Still, as soon as he opens his mouth, he is absolutely still Sokka. There's no growing up out of that, clearly.]

Sooooo, that sure was two years worth of growing done in one night. That was a fun twist on the upgrades there, thanks Atroma. I personally feel spoiled. You shouldn't have.

[Yep. The sarcasm is strong, it's still Sokka. He plucks at the Drift Fleet jumpsuit he's wearing with clear distaste. It's the only thing that fits him right now.]

So, on the off-chance we don't go to a fun system with shopping next and instead go back to a horrible nightmare planet seen as that's in vogue right now- I might need to get someone who can actually sew clothes to maybe rescue me from this Beige Hell. Please.

[He needs to be wearing blue again.]

OH! That reminds me. I got some interesting intel from our cavalry last month - if you wanna know about that kinda of stuff drop by the forge. I'd rather not talk about that over the network because of the whole Atroma's always listening thing. You get it.

It is. I wasn't for a long time. Comes with being surrounded by the most powerful people of your generation.

[Aang alone could give someone a complex, let alone adding Toph, Zuko and Katara to the mix. ]

Yeah, like I didn't really belong in my own skin any more. Wasn't great.

That, I'm afraid, isn't a feeling that goes away easily. It's difficult to make your own way under that particular pressure, but it is possible. [ He ponders for a moment. ]

But you feel like you should now, hopefully?

Tell me about it. I figured out what I was good at though. That helped.

I do, actually! It's...a pretty nice feeling, after all this time.

Good man! What is it that you found about yourself?

Turns out I'm pretty good at swordfighting. Plus there was all the stuff I was already good at, planning, strategy, jokes.

Well-rounded skills to have. With a young man like that on the team, it's no wonder you accomplished what you did.

Flatter.

Honestly, I was just the plan guy. My friends were the muscle. Nothing would have happened without them.

Maybe so, but those at the top still need others to help hold them up from time to time.

I don't think I'd call myself the top, we were more a team than anything else.

That's what I was implying, Sokka. The way you speak, they at the forefront and you support them. Or am I wrong?

[ They still need your support, bro. ]

Ohhhh, yeah I do. I do what I can, anyway.

I'm certain it's appreciated.

They sure told me as much. Anyway, now I try and do the same here for you guys. Make the Blue Fish about as close to a home as I can, you know?

I know I am still relatively new, but I would say you're doing what you set out to do.

I'm glad to hear that. I wouldn't want anyone not being as happy as they can be here. It's bad enough being kidnapped without adding all that kind of stress on top of it.

I'm content, given the circumstances. Rather, I'm as close to it as I'm certain I can get.

And that's just about any of us could ask for here.
