03. Secure the Homefront [video]

May 25, 2011 09:47

[High alert, woop woop! The already busy feed crackles to life with Sokka's concerned face. He's all business.]

We've established our own safe zone here-- [He fumbles around with his PCD, but manages to transmit the coordinates anyway.]

[X,Y]

The perimeter's secured and we've got people on constant watch. There's plenty of room and supplies, too. So ( Read more... )

Sokka?

[Break knocks a few minutes later.]

Hm? Hey, Break.

[Sokka returns his gaze out at the world and surveys the horizon, eyes settling on the smoke.] You see my message? [He apparently missed yours like a derp.] I thought we'd take in some people until this blows over.

That's a very good idea. But you're going to have to be willing to aggressively prescreen them for bites.

I'll be keeping close watch, don't worry. The last thing I want is to put all of us in danger. [A pause.] You're staying right? Not going out to search for people like Katara and Aang?

I'm going to stay until the house is full, then I'll move to one of the other safehouses so they can bring more people there. We can't risk overcrowding one home, in case they do make it in.

Too many eggs in one basket.

Good thought. [He really wasn't expecting that many people, but now that he's talking to Break, Sokka realizes it might be a hasty assumption.]

Have you heard from Zuko today?

No. have you?

[Immediately worried.]

No. [Make that a double in the worry department.] I haven't seen him in person or on the feed today.

Send him a message. Now.

I haven't seen Toph, either. [And now he's getting antsy. He can think of about a dozen people he's met since arriving that he'd really love to know the whereabouts of, but he sticks here with Break for now. It won't do anyone any good if he abandons the safe harbor being offered just to seek out lost souls.]

This is crazy! No one should be out there, let-alone out there alone. [And he sincerely doubts Zuko and Toph went together, wherever they are.]

We have to wait for them to get in touch.

[He agrees, with a sigh.]

Do you have any weapons? [The young water tribesman pulls out his boomerang and holds it weightily in his hand.] This guy's only going to work once, and all I've got as a backup is a club.

I've got one, but I need to keep it on me.

Just one? That's worse than what I'm dealing with here. I've got a machete back in my room, if you want it. I've been meaning to sharpen it, but it would work in a pinch. At least for a little while.

Mm, no, thank you.

[Gesturing with the cane.]

I'm quite all right. I'll hardly be out in the thick of them.

[A nod. He approves, definitely, and sort of feels like everyone should be thinking that way, but hey.] I'm gonna go get my machete anyway. Send a couple messages, too. Will you be all right until I get back?
