Sokka the 16th - [Voice]

Feb 28, 2010 18:11

[Filtered against Zuko, Katara, and Toph 90%]Guess this is the end of the month. I wonder if this will be the last night? After all, new people will be showing up in a few days. That would mean in one more day 'til I'm back to my normal Sokka self ( Read more... )

Hn. You too?

.....

I think for everyone involved, dishonestly would be in even poorer taste than opening with a bad joke.

[Filtered] markofthewise March 1 2010, 00:03:49 UTC

Maybe me. There's always a chance I'm just imagining things.

Well I would hope to open with a good joke.

[Filtered] one_green_eye March 1 2010, 00:08:28 UTC

Do you have any reason to think the feeling won't just "wear-off" for the both of you? ---or are you just worrying ahead of time?

[Filtered] markofthewise March 1 2010, 00:09:51 UTC

I always worry about things going horribly wrong. It's kind of my job in the team.

[Filtered] one_green_eye March 1 2010, 00:12:16 UTC

Well, somebody has to. I'm sure you get them out of plenty of trouble, that way.

....so long as the worry isn't getting in the way of clear thinking. There is a difference.

[Filtered] markofthewise March 1 2010, 00:13:32 UTC

Oh don't worry. Once I realize that it's past the point of return, my self-preservation usually kicks in to prevent things from getting worse.

[Filtered] one_green_eye March 1 2010, 00:16:44 UTC

So, the problem now is that you don’t know what point it’s passed?

[Filtered] markofthewise March 1 2010, 00:22:16 UTC

That sounds about right.

[Filtered] one_green_eye March 1 2010, 00:31:41 UTC

Ah. So what, was the experiment building on the foundations of something already complicated? ...or are the feelings that confusing?

[Filtered] markofthewise March 1 2010, 00:32:56 UTC

I honestly don't know. My sister seems to think they didn't exist before, so I suppose she would know, even if she's definitely under the same effect as well. It seems like they were always there.

[Filtered] one_green_eye March 1 2010, 00:36:03 UTC

Mm.

Have you seen enough of the Malnosso's work to know if they're capable of creating something like that? [his tone is scientific, but placid]

Because it seems a lot less likely that they would manipulate your sister's memories of your behavior and feelings, than those memories and behaviors themselves. And the way everyone was acting at the fountain....at least, what I've heard..... seems only to confirm that further.

[Filtered] markofthewise March 1 2010, 01:00:03 UTC

Well, based on what I can tell, I think the only memories that are changed are the ones affecting how you feel about the person you care about. I don't think anything new is added, I think you just kind of... feel differently about them. So as long as Katara isn't talking about Zuko, she's probably right about me and Toph... maybe.

[Filtered] one_green_eye March 1 2010, 01:06:53 UTC

Geh. [Katara got affected too, huh? Seems like it got everybody]

That sounds like what I've observed. I haven't had much to do but listen in, lately-- and it seems like the affected individuals all react differently, based on their personalities, but no one could help feeling the way they did. Even if they knew it was inconsistent with their nature.

But I'm sure it's more complicated for people who were already confused about those feeling to begin with. [a sigh] What a mess.

[Filtered] markofthewise March 1 2010, 01:08:58 UTC

Next month? I'm voting that the experiment somehow involve all of us having the foreboding sense that we left the house without doing something. Or perhaps just losing all of our socks.

[Filtered] one_green_eye March 1 2010, 01:12:32 UTC

[he laughs]

They ought to just put you in charge.

[Filtered] markofthewise March 1 2010, 01:14:02 UTC

You can bring that up at the next town meeting.
