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.)

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[Kurt isn't even trying to hide his cackling, and why should he? He doesn't know Sokka, and has only seen Mon-El in glimpses. Also, Kurt Darkholme is a jerk.]

What a friend you have here!

Oh yeah, he's really something.

[Also Sokka would never have the guts to do this himself, so he guesses he has MOn-El to thank for that. ]

If you need an alibi, I'll be happy to provide one.

[Not that he expects he'll be called upon to do so, given he doesn't bother locking the offer. Sokka seems more embarrassed than enraged.]

[He laughs. ]

Thanks, man. I should be okay, but I'll keep that on layaway, if I ever need it.

Alright. I also offer my services as a mode of escape, should you need it.

[Yes he's seen Looma's response.]

Okay, I'm officially putting you on my speed dial. I'll hold you to this.

File it under Kurt Darkholme.

I'd offer my assistance as a bodyguard as well, but.. I don't think I could beat that one without killing her, and I'd rather not. Depends on how her people react to teleportation..

Aye aye!

...Yeah dude please don't. Besides, if you beat her, then she'll want to date you and that'd kind of negate the whole thing, you know?

[Kurt blinks a couple of times, then begins to chuckle.]

That so? She's starting to remind me of one of my exes.

Yeah? Were they super fight-y too? Because Looma is like 89% fight-y at all times.

[He says this with utter fondness. He LIKES the fact she's always down to punch someone in the face.]

Oh ja. Damask lived for a good fight, especially if she got her hands dirty.

Then again, so did I. We were well-matched, that way.

Thaaaat sure does sound a lot like Looma, yep.

[He laughs. ]

Well, I am a warrior, so it's not like this is anything new. I can dig it.

[The least surprised looking at Kurt's appearance since aliens come in many colors and levels of furriness back home and there's obviously some variety here too.]

I'm going to assume that wasn't sarcastic and thank you. Did you see something you like?

[Kurt's instinctive reaction is to shoot Mon-el a sharp look, expecting the words to be a taunt, something he needs to defend himself against. It takes him a second to remember this place isn't like that, it was just a question from a man trying to set up his friend.

He grimaces in silent apology before forcing a chuckle.] Given the response I'm seeing from a certain red-skinned lady, I don't think answering in the affirmative would be good for my continued health.

[He's not sure what all these expressions mean for a moment, but he takes them in stride kicking back in at the words at least.] You...might have a point. I wasn't expecting that. My wingman duties might include more protecting than I expected.

Might at that. I hope you're the durable sort.

[If Kurt only knew.]

[That gets a laugh.] That is one of the things I'm better at.

You're a bastard and I despise you. [More like is deeply envious of, if his tone is anything to go by.]

That was...not what I was expecting. [Though the tone only makes him less sure how to take it.]
