driftfleet | Date a Sokka! Open!

Who: Mon-El, Sokka, and YOU!
Broadcast: OPEN!
Action: Bar in Berrivalia on Selvin-9
When: Now!

[The feed comes on to reveal Mon-El’s face in the foreground as Sokka sits next to him ordering a drink from a bartender, seemingly unaware of his friend’s broadcast.]

Hello, fleet! This is my first official outing as a wingman, and I’m going to need your help. We need to find this handsome, water tribe captain a mate! [He says as he puts his arm around Sokka’s shoulders and brings him into the frame.]

[Sokka was reaching out for his beer, looking forward to a relaxing night out with his friend. Then, suddenly he was pulled away from his drink and brought in front of the feed. It takes him a few moments for realisation of what was actually happening to hit him. He blinks, then turns, wide eyed to stare at Mon-El.]

Wait. What. We're doing this now?. Like...right now?

[Mon-El shrugs him off.] Okay, ladies—or gentlemen maybe—in addition to be newly older and buffer Sokka can eat concerning amounts of meat in a single sitting, wield a sword, and recite poetry. [He drops his voice as if to speak directly to Sokka, but it’s still audible.] I added that last one to make you sound more romantic.

[This was not happening. This couldn't actually be happening to him. He had to be imagining it. He stares at the screen, giving a half-robotic wave of his hand, probably staring off into space a little bit.]

Wow. No one's ever managed to sum me up in so few words before. Gee. Thanks, buddy. [He lowers his voice to a gentle hiss, waving a hand at the screen.] You know you could have warned me, Dude. This is kinda weird. People are gonna think I'm weird. [He is weird]

You’re not weird. [Facing the screen again and sounding sincere.] He’s not weird. Blame any weird on me. Honestly, Sokka is a great guy and a good friend. I can’t tell you everything good about him because there’s a lot and I’m still learning about it, but part of the fun is finding those things out about each other. So no more spoilers. I really think anyone would be lucky to be with him or I wouldn’t be doing this.

So, what do you say? Does anyone want to meet Sokka?

[This is still weird and he's still not completely convinced he wants it to go this way. Or if he's even dealt with all the baggage that comes with moving on in the first place. But Mon-El's done it now, so he's going to have to let it roll the way it is. He lets out an awkward laugh]

Aww. That was almost sweet. You are good at this. [He offers an awkward smile to the screen.] I was kind of planning to do this like a regular person, but I'm not about to spoil his...efforts here. So I'm gonna go sit in that corner with my beer and hope the wall eat me alive, cool? Cool. [He's gonna...fingerguns at you all and try to slide off screen.]

(OOC: Sokka is blue. Mon-El is red. Both boys will reply to responses separately.)

Keith, hi. Are you interested in getting to know Sokka better? More intimately?

As Keith's boyfriend, I'm going to say NOOOOOOOOOPE to that.

I mean, okay, I get it, Sokka's like my twin anyway, but!

Oh! I didn't know Keith was otherwise attached. I wasn't trying to steal your boyfriend...for someone else.

This is why people should really announce when they're in a relationship. It's good for celebrating and for letting people know. [No, Mon-El. You're still the only person who did that and everyone yelled at you.]

I mean, I definitely felt like throwing a party, but Keith probably would have punted me out an airlock or something if I tried.

[Long-suffering sigh.] I know that feeling. There were some rough training sessions after I did it.

Sympathetic high five, bro.

[Mon-El LOVES high fives. Possibly his favorite thing on Earth.] Is there a way to do that over video?

Uhhhh...

[He pauses, then proceeds to smack his palm lightly against the camera of the communicator.]

[He slowly mimics this.] I don't know if that was good for me.

Nah, that was pretty lame. Okay, raincheck on that high five.

Being a little possessive, Lance?

Is that...a bad thing?

You tell me.

I don't know! I'm asking you! I mean, I wouldn't mind you being possessive of me, but I don't know how you feel about it.

[Okay, Keith was going to chuckle at you, Lance.]

I don't mind so much.

Besides, do you really think I wouldn't do what I wanted anyway?

Good point. It is not easy to stop you when you've got your mind set on something.

I consider myself motivated.

[Keith shrugged. Lance had managed to take care of most of it.]

I think you got your answer, but that's it. Nothing personal against Sokka, but no thanks. I'm spoken for.

Understood. I wouldn't try to fix anyone up who is otherwise attached. Unless everyone involved preferred a threeway romance.

Careful... Lance might like that...

[Keith smirked a little. He was joking, of course. The two of them were both a little too possessive to really do well in a threeway.]

Well, that's my point. If someone doesn't like it then it doesn't work. [Breezy. This is a totally normal thing to discuss openly.]

[Keith sobered up a bit when he realized Mon-El was being serious.]

Oh, well... yeah. I wouldn't think otherwise.

Good. I mean, they may sound fun, but it's more work than being with one person. I've heard.

Sounds like it would be... and really competitive... and a lot of other things I wouldn't really want to deal with.

I think you'd want to find three non competitive people to try it.
