05: [Kinda happy audio!] backdated to Tuesday evening

[withanokka]

[Sokka is better. Much better.

Well, certainly better than he was, and he definitely sounds happy, though his treatment from AMU was not the most pleasant.]

SO. You guys.

Guess who has two thumbs and can make this joke again?

[He is definitely pointing at himself with his thumbs. Not that anyone could see that on an audio feed. He ignores

Comments

[lilyground]

You lost an arm, too?

[withanokka]

Yeah, when, uh... at the theatre.

[Where all those people died. He pushes the thought out of his head.]

But, the robot thing fixed it!

[lilyground]

[Lily does the same, though that voice on the edge of her mind reminds her of how she can't fucking save anyone.]

AMU? It's good at that. Some other guy fixed mine.

[withanokka]

[Interest: piqued.]

You mean, Glaukir?

[lilyground]

Nooo. Um, his name was Tyler, I think? I couldn't hear very good.

[withanokka]

Huh.

[Two guys on the boat who can heal people... that aren't robots. Maybe that was one of the people who offered to help him? He can't remember.]

So, uh, I don't think I know you. I'm Sokka.

[lilyground]

I'm Lily. Lily Worth. It's nice to meet you!

[withanokka]

Yeah. Good to meet you, too.

[There's a long pause. Does she want to continue the conversation?]

Soooo, we're going to port.

[lilyground]

[ALWAYS]

Yeah! It's the second time ever. Kage and Chase are gonna teach me how to surf!

[Does he know them? Who cares!]

What're you gonna do?

[withanokka]

Second time ever? Have you been here a while?

[At her question, he stops short. Should he tell her? The voice in his head says LIE LIKE THE WIND]

I'm probably gonna go exploring. You know, see what there is to see. See if there's anything I can make a boomerang out of. You know.

[lilyground]

19 months.

[She's been telling people that a LOT lately.]

Aren't boomerangs those things that you throw and they come back?

[withanokka]

...that is TOO long to be on this boat.

And yeah! I had one, but it was gone when I got here...

[With his space sword and machete. His club was probably still at home...]

[lilyground]

[Long pause...]

Boomerangs aren't... really good weapons, are they? I mean, they're like, curved sticks.

[withanokka]

They are if you know how to use them! Mine had an edge on it, so, it was pretty good for hunting and all of that. And it always came back.

[Always = Most of the Time.]

[lilyground]

Really?

[That still sounds like a stupid weapon.]

Didn't you have, like... guns or something?

[withanokka]

[While there are gun-like harpoon canons on his world, he's never heard of that word before.]

What's a gun?
