14. Lifting the Veil [Voice/Offline]
[It hasn't been hard for Sokka to avoid the influence of the Animus. Throughout the week, when presented with tombstones in the mist, he's avoided looking or lingering, ignoring everything Adstringendum is trying to force upon him. It's worked for the most part until some voice tried to convince him just how terrible and useless he was to the city. The last thing he needed was another reminder of how bad things could be, but there were plenty abound..]
[Sokka hadn't been having a very good month. He since started to perk up a little, but his mind has been focusing a lot on the dark and the macabre, settling on one morbid thought after another. Eventually, he just can't keep himself from checking to see what truths and lies awaited him in the fog, especially since the Animus has been cruel enough to extend the temptation by a few days.]
[Armed with some paper and some crayons, young Sokka takes to the open on Halloween and finds himself a quiet, foggy spot to wait. When the tombstones begin appearing, he seeks out one in particular and sits against it, taking comfort in familiarity. Aside from standing to investigate new graves, it's there he remains, cataloging what he sees around him.]
[He's waiting it out, sticking around until he's presented the people he wants to see. It's not the kindness to anyone involved, no, but if the Animus is going to offer visions, then Sokka is going to take advantage of any opportunity to see once-familiar faces again.]
[Just another terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day in Adstringendum, right? Better to make the most of it than let it get you down.]

I think if I wait long enough, this fog stuff will show me anyone I want to see. I've been making a list of the dead and keeping notes if anyone wants to know what I've seen.
