Who: Sokka and you?
Broadcast: Fleet-wide
Action: Marsiva
When: Mid afternoon, 28th!

[Sokka has been through quite a few perturbing experiences in his short life. These experience doubled exponentially after meeting Aang, which he suspected was just part and parcel of being Team Avatar. Past Avatar friends probably had to deal with giant sea serpents, people who could blow you up with their mind, and worst of all hippies. Waking up in space is definitely up there in his 'perturbing experiences' list. It's a solid second, right between the hippies and the creepy ghost swamp.

The last thing he remembers is falling off the airship with Toph. He'd managed to keep hold of her, keep her from falling to a grizzly death, and lost his boomerang and sword in the process. Then the army aboard the ship had surrounded them and then....what? He frowns, glancing down at the broken leg that's no longer broken, and then around him at these exceptionally strange surroundings. Almost nothing here rings even a touch of familiarity to him, as he carefully walks around, wishing he'd had the presence of mind to take more than two weapons on board a war ship with him.

There's only one explanation he can come to, only one that makes absolute sense. His communicator buzzes, alive and unnoticed in a corner, recording him as he looks skyward, raising his hands up.]

Okay, I get that I'm probably dead and you guys have got a lot of crazy spirit world shenanigans to get up to, but I'm kind of in the middle of saving the world so if we could reschedule that'd be great.

[He pauses, waiting for a reply. He has to admit, this isn't like the hazy memories of the last time he was dragged into the spirit world, and panic is starting to creep into his tone.]

This isn't about what happened with the owl is it? Because he started it. You ask anyone and they'll back me up! Hello?

[At even more silence, he throws himself into full on panic mode.]

PLEASE DON'T KEEP ME HERE, I CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT BATHROOMS AGAIN!!!!!!!!

[Kaneis is normally all for ignoring these new arrival posts. He was fully intending on ignoring this one too, until he started yelling]

Jeez, shut up! There's a bathroom around there somewhere!

[He...thinks]

[alwayscomeback]

[Voices coming from seemingly nowhere only solidify his Spirit World theory.]

No, no you don't! I checked last time and there are zero bathrooms!

[wilder]

[Yes that right. it's all voices from beyond!]

I haven't heard anyone else complain about a lack of a bathroom- so maybe you're just not looking right!

[alwayscomeback]

I looked ALL OVER last time. [Possibly? It's all kinda hazy. There was a bear, he remembers a bear.]

And I don't see anyone else here, except for you, Mr. Disembodied Spirit Voice.

[This isn't fair, it's Aang's job to talk to the spirits, it's his job to make the plans and offer witty commentary. They should stick to their own jobs.]

[wilder]

[Okay, there's a lot of things he could say, but he'll say the least helpful one]

...How can you see a disembodied voice?

[carreau]

[ There is someone laughing at you. ]

So, so, what happened with the owl?

[alwayscomeback]

I DIDN'T MEAN IT LIKE THAT!!

[Okay. No. Calm. Deep breaths.]

Look, I just need to be pointed to the nearest exit to the Fire Nation. I've got a battle to win.

[alwayscomeback]

Rude.

And it's a long story, but the moral is: don't trick giant spirit librarians and try to steal their scrolls. They get really testy about it and try to bury you in their library for all time.

[wilder]

[He gives a shrug, but you can't see that]

Sorry, I can't really do that. Only exits where you are at, well, they'd lead to a pretty quick and brutal death.

[alwayscomeback]

Pretty sure I was facing that anyway, but thanks for the help. You've been super helpful.

[He starts muttering under his breath, peering out through that giant window at all that SPACE.]

[wilder]

I'm a disembodied voice- how much help did you expect me to be?

[alwayscomeback]

I don't know, directions, Spirit World wisdom? Anything?

[carreau]

Wow~ But you escaped, so that's good!

[wilder]

Hmmm.

Sorry. I'm not a spirit, so I can't really give any Spirit World wisdom now, can I?

[alwayscomeback]

Well, yeah, but that's we're all about. Being awesome, getting out of scrapes, saving the world.

[alwayscomeback]

You're not? So you were kidnapped by them too?

[carreau]

That sounds exciting~ But it's impossible to save the whole world, right?

[wilder]

Yep.

[alwayscomeback]

Okay, okay. Gimmie a sec.

[Thinking...]

You see any landmarks? I can come and find you, we need to get out of here, and we've got a better chance of doing it together.

[alwayscomeback]

Not at all, me and my friends were doing it right before I got dragged here.

[wilder]

Oh, I know where I am. I'm on the ship I got assigned to - it's currently docked on the planet.

But I doubt you'd reach me. You won't get sorted into a ship until Friday.

[carreau]

It's impossible to save the whoooole world without some people losing in the process, right~? Not everyone can survive.

[alwayscomeback]

Aang's got this big thing about no one dying, so yeah, we're not killing the army we're fighting.

[carreau]

Ahaha, that doesn't make any sense at all!

[alwayscomeback]

Ship? Like an airship?

[No, wait. He knows what this is about, a space ship. But he's never experienced anything like this before, how is he supposed to just KNOW?]

Okay the information being dropped into my brain thing is super creepy and I don't like it.

No way to speed that up?
