05. A Date With Despair

Jun 06, 2011 12:26

[The concept of time is eluding Sokka. How long has it been since Fran forced him in fall to pieces? Five minutes? Fifty minutes? Five hours? He's got no idea, but it's nearly night now, and Sokka can't get the picture of Fran or those inky black figures out of his head long enough to crawl out of his safe place to go home.]

[Hunched down and ( Read more... )

#ic, nightmares are bad, fran is a meany, ^usagi, ^frau, ^aang, ^sokka, ^unohana, mmkay?, ^katara, ^bubbles, ^bon, where's the therapist?

[Usagi's been stuck at home home bored, which means pestering her friends over the PCD of course! She clicks it on to send a message to Sokka specifically.]

Sokka! Sokka Sokka Sokka! [She'll be sympathetic once she realizes the mood he's in, but right now she sounds enthusiastic.]

[There's no mistaking that voice, is there? He considers passing on the opportunity, but it doesn't feel right. After a moment, he flops back on his sleeping bag and lifts the PCD up above him to view the screen. Sokka's looking less than happy, but at least he's not moping anymore.] Hey, Usagi. How are you?

[Video] buntails June 6 2011, 23:29:36 UTC

[Whoops, mood conflict.]

Hey... are you alright, Sokka?

[Video] angle_on_it June 7 2011, 00:38:03 UTC

I'm, ah... [He considers lying, but this is Usagi and she deserves better than lies, even good-meaning ones. Sokka doesn't want her to worry, but he knows she will anyway, and it's just better to be honest.] Shaken. But I'll be okay.

How are you?

[Video] buntails June 7 2011, 00:47:41 UTC

I'm alright. Tired, but I'll feel better soon, they say. [She can't really totally hide it. The bandage is sort of right there on her neck.]

[Video] angle_on_it June 7 2011, 01:16:13 UTC

[He frowns and peers at the screen, shaking his head.] You're hurt. [How did he miss that? It's about the last thing he wants to hear from Usagi, but at least she seems in decent spirits.] I'm sorry to hear it. Are you at the clinic?

[Video] buntails June 7 2011, 01:17:52 UTC

Mm. Just for awhile. It's OK, really. Just some anemia.

[Technically? It's the literal truth. She'd rather leave out the cause.]

[Video] angle_on_it June 7 2011, 01:28:45 UTC

[He sits up and runs a hand down his face. Sounds familiar, that symptom.] When did you get sick?

[Video] buntails June 7 2011, 01:30:46 UTC

That doesn't matter. It's alright now. Sokka, what happened? You looked really sad.

[Video] angle_on_it June 7 2011, 02:49:19 UTC

[How to explain, how to explain.] Just... some really bad dreams that didn't feel like dreams at all. I think I'll be okay. [Although, he doesn't sound so certain.]

[Video] buntails June 7 2011, 02:53:07 UTC

I'm sorry, Sokka. [Sorrier that she can't come right over there to give him a hug.] Do you want to talk about it?

[Video] angle_on_it June 7 2011, 05:22:16 UTC

Not yet, I don't think. [At least he's being honest! He takes a deep breath and puts on what might pass for a smile.] But I'd like to talk with you. About other stuff, I mean. If you want.

[Video] buntails June 7 2011, 05:27:35 UTC

Mm. Of course. I'll listen to you, whatever you want to talk about.

[Video] angle_on_it June 7 2011, 05:58:04 UTC

[Works for him.] There's a sheep in my room. Bubbles brought it. [How's that? And, to prove it, he turns the PCD so she can see the rainbow-colored animal chewing on something.]

[Video] buntails June 7 2011, 05:58:58 UTC

[It makes her laugh, of course.]

They're so cute. I wonder if one would get along with Pearl.

[Video] angle_on_it June 7 2011, 06:07:20 UTC

Pearl? [The camera pans back and and he's got an eyebrow raised]
