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

[hey you know, those burns were really not cool. And he's been laying up in his room trying not to move too much because ow seriously. But he's staring at his comm bewilderedly.]

... Wait, what.

I think the tagline for team boy squad is "wait what." They all say it, I think

[withanokka]

Seriously! Real, working arm. It's awesome.

[Pain associated with attaching it? Naaaaah, he's not gonna talk about that.]

I haven't heard from you. How'd that... thing, go?

well they set each other up so wonderfully for it.....

[believeslegends]

So like... a cyborg arm? Cool.

[heeey we're not going to talk about this either.]

Uh... It didn't.

see keywords

[withanokka]

No, it's real! Like, flesh, blood. I can write with it. It's awesome.

[Actually, he hasn't figured out if it's anything more or less than a real arm.]

...wait, what?

[Sokka's turn to say it!]

Official Elegante Canon now.

[believeslegends]

...How'd you do th-[fjalsdjfOW shifting weight]-that?

Yeah, couldn't find it so I came back. [Not an outright lie. Just lying by omission.]

[withanokka]

[You're lucky Sokka is too enthralled by being able to count to twenty and not fifteen that he didn't catch that.]

I went to this crazy robot healer. It fixed me.

[Oooh, there was pain involved. It wasn't traumatic, it wasn't bad, it's just Sokka did not know painkillers were an option.]

But it didn't take you... two? Three? Days to come back, did it?

[believeslegends]

Wait... a robot healer? ... What? [why didn't anyone tell him this a day or two ago? HE WOULD HAVE GONE SOONER.]

It's a big ship, Sokka. People can get lost on a big ship.

....he said some variation of wait what

[withanokka]

Yeah. It's big. White. I was told it was a robot. Is that not the right word?

[LOL WHAT ARE TECHNOLOGY]

yes. yes he did. 83

[believeslegends]

Probably, I just didn't know there were any on board.

[ONE DAY HE WILL TEACH YOU AND HICCUP.]

Where, uh... Where is this thing?

[withanokka]

...why?

[Seriously.]

[believeslegends]

I wanna see it. We've got robots at home, I'm curious.

[yes quick cover up story, which sounds pretty believable because it's half-true.]

[withanokka]

[Sokka fell for it.]

It's on Deck 2. It's really creepy, though, really clean...

[believeslegends]

[Good boy. :3]

All right, I'll look.

...So what's that about us getting off soon? Did we finally reach that Golden Shore place?

[withanokka]

I don't think so. Something about life-support systems going "off-line"? I don't really understand it all. It sounds like some really important stuff got damaged by that Jennifer girl. They have to move us to fix it.

[His voice suddenly drops to a conspiratorial low.]

I'm going to try to escape.

[believeslegends]

...Huh. [He didn't see anything when he was out and about, but maybe he missed something somewhere. But his voice lowers too.]

You sure you want to escape on an unknown place without knowing if you'll be able to go back home? Really, Sokka? [sudden voice of reason hello. It only takes being burned to start thinking clearly.]

[withanokka]

I know it sounds crazy. That's because it is. I know it is. But.

[He's half-tempted to say "anywhere's better than here".]

What happens, I'm wondering, if passengers escape? Are we apprehended? What?

[There's a pause.]

It would be better than here, wouldn't it, though?

[There, he said it.]
