Any time during this thing!

[boomerangbend]

Sokka can be found roaming the halls of this place in this yukata, trying to figure out what the catch is or just hanging around their room. This event looks kinda low key to him, but he still has his suspicions. There has to be more to this event than running around in new clothing!

...The narration would like to point out that it's just his thing to run into trouble eventually. It's a comedic relief character's job after all.

This is one of those events where he's pondered the possibility of just sleeping through it, but, hey, everything happens when he's asleep. He'll take it for now, but when that catch comes up, he's gonna be ready. Nope, there's no way he's gonna be mentally scarred after this event!

Zuko is wearing a red yukata of course, with dragons patterned on it. He doesn't really mind the new clothes. This event is much better than, yaknow, dying or buttscooting across the floor in a cardboard box. However, he has yet to understand what's going on, and will not understand that anything is wrong until the event is over.

He runs into Sokka while roaming the halls. Zuko is compelled to talk to him, but he does so in a much more awkward way than usual. He even talks with his hands, gesturing like a stupid idiot under the influence of the event.

"Uh..hey."

nothing much, just gonna awkwardly flirt with you

[boomerangbend]

Yeah. He's gotta hand it to the mansion. This is way better than being turned six or gaining thirteen million sheep. ...Where is Sheepie even at during this thing, anyway? ...Oh well.

Hey, is Zuko being even more awkward than usual? Because, due to the magic of this event, Sokka doesn't even notice. All he knows is, hey, they should talk. About what? Activities? ...No, the event hasn't hit him that hard yet. Try again.

"Uh. Hey. How're you doing?"

LOL

[exiled_torch]

He feels weird, but Zuko doesn't even realize it's part of the event. He's as blissfully unaware as he was when he was buttscooting. All he thinks about is the bizarre flip-flopping of his stomach. It feels like there's a whole swarm of hawk-butterflies in there.

"..Fine."

He pauses awkwardly.

"You..?"

GENIUS!

[boomerangbend]

However, the thought of proposing some activities? It hasn't escaped Sokka's mind. It's just dancing in there along with the other new perceptions.

"I'm good! Really good, actually!"

Come on, already. Think about something to talk about!

"So, hey, how about this event?"

They are truly the most suave people to ever be thrown into Wonderland.

[exiled_torch]

About the event? What about it? There's really not much to comment on. It's a different place, a little bit more familiar looking than the huge mansion, but otherwise not a big deal. There's nothing trying to kill him.

"It's..uh..okay."

Yeah, he's in full swing awkward. Full retard awkward mode.

[boomerangbend]

...Oh, spirits. Uh. Okay, okay. You can do this, Sokka. Just keep on talking.

"I'm...glad I ran into you? Because we should...be on guard and probably stick together in case something happens and all?"

Those statements shouldn't have come out as questions, but he's still floundering here.

[exiled_torch]

He starts fidgeting and looking at his hands.

"..Yeah, we should."

It is for their own good, right? Staying together is better. Safety in numbers and all that. He lets the conversation fall flat again, saying nothing more while he fidgets.

[boomerangbend]

Hey, what would be safer? Being in their room or...where? Well, they have roomies... Er.

"Because you dying again wouldn't be a good thing."

...Er.

"I mean, of course it wouldn't, but us sticking together would help!"

Yeah, that sounds better.

[urnewkingbitch]

Oh, hey, it's that one guy with the sheep and the other guy who tried to burn the mansion down. Wow, he really wants to talk to Sheep Boy today. Dave decides to do just that. Also, bonus, he recognizes them as his roomies. He plays it cool as he approaches them.

Yeah, fuck you, Mr. Catches the Goddamn Oven on Fire, he wants to talk.

"Sup, roomies."

Bow down before your new conversation king, bitches.

[exiled_torch]

Who's that? Oh yeah, it's the kid he's sharing his room with. Zuko doesn't really know Dave though, despite them staying together.

"Hi.."

His voice is a bit irate and the greeting almost sounds like a question. Dave just butt right into the conversation rudely. Normally he wouldn't be so irate, but he just broke into a conversation between him and Sokka during a rather sensitive event.

[boomerangbend]

Whoa, hello interrupted conversation. Luckily, he doesn't have it bad yet, so the interruption doesn't hit him the same way. This isn't like Katara interrupting him talking to Yue.

"Hi."

Thus, his greeting is just casual at best. And he recognizes that the kid's one of their roomies...and that he has red eyes.

"...Huh. I never thought people could have red eyes."

Whoops. What is tact?

[urnewkingbitch]

He gives no fucks in interrupting their "totally important" conversation. None at all.

Apparently, tact is a myth in Sheep Boy's world.

"Most people with red eyes are albino," he replies neutrally, "Guess I'm just really fuckin' special."

Not.

"Name's Dave Strider."

[exiled_torch]

Zuko doesn't even care that Dave's eyes are red. He's seen so much weird shit here that simple things like that don't even phase him anymore. Dave saying that he thinks he's really special does, though. Zuko takes it one hundred percent seriously. Dave is now a cocky bastard in Zuko's mind. He can't hold back a brief, "Pft..I'll bet."

[boomerangbend]

Fortunately for Sokka, he can smell sarcasm from a mile away.

"Yeah, but you know what's really special? A flying bison! Or, oh, how about people with magical bending powers? Oh, and don't mind this guy here. He's always like this."

He slings his arm around Zuko's shoulders as he talks. Oh, this is just like the event with the sheep. He doesn't even remember the fact that he'd never be affectionate with Zuko on a normal basis.

"Oh, and speaking of bending powers, this guy can shoot fire everywhere! So, yeah, compared to that, your red eyes? They're not that special, trust me. Oh, and I'm Sokka. It's nice to meet ya."

[urnewkingbitch]

Oh, thank Jesus, Sokka is sarcastic. He shrugs.

"I dunno, doesn't sound like much compared to escapin' your planet's destruction, and participatin' in a convoluted chess game that would decide the fate of a new world's creation. But at least red eyes isn't the weirdest thing in the world now that we got all of that straight."

Yes, they will get along just fine.

"And does your fire throwin' friend have a name or should I just call him somethin' else?"
