Video: Schedules and maps fix everything!

[boomerangbend]

[By now, Sokka's gotten used to the communicators, save for the texting part.

The video opens with him surrounded by the scroll he's working on. Surprisingly, Sheepie's not eating it in the background. Also, there are some propped up charts in the background.]

Baa!

[But, judging by the half-eaten pieces near Sheepie, this did happen some time earlier.

Wait. A..schedule for what?

And I can help you make a map.

[Of course it won't be a very good one!]

[video]

[boomerangbend]

For how we're gonna prepare for events!

[Get in the game, Zuko. Everything must be planned. Schedules are the way to go!]

Can you even move?

[Surely Zuko has more artistic ability than Sokka. That would just be sad.]

[video]

[exiled_torch]

How can we prepare? They're all different.

Yea, I'm fine.

[video]

[boomerangbend]

[Sokka waves his brush at Zuko.]

Hey, we can always prepare!

[He's not about ready to abandon that long scroll.]

Then come over here.

[eatsyourscience]

Events seem to happen every other week.

video; and so it begins

[boomerangbend]

Yeah, I got that from other people.

[...Oh, geez, Sheepie wants to say hello. There's an entire minute where Sheepie takes up the view.]

Sheepie, no! Bad Sheepie! No eating the communicator!

[Sokka jerks his communicator away and continues talking, although his gaze is off screen now.]

I figure I can at least try planning around them. They are every two weeks, right? Because, well, I have the feeling this place just likes playing tricks on people.

video; Sheepie will be Souji's

[eatsyourscience]

It does.

[But...] They've been every two weeks since I got here. Except once.

video; why must Souji's swagger extend to animals

[boomerangbend]

I knew it!

[Score one for Sokka's intuition!]

Except once? [That gets his attention. Sheepie keeps on creeping toward his communicator, though. Souji's swagger is even transmittable through communicators, apparently.] Do you think it could happen again?

Oh, and I'm Sokka.

[What are manners? One of these days, he's gonna offend someone here.]

[video]

[hundred_power]

Events? Are they having a party here?

[video]

[boomerangbend]

[What is this guy even--]

What? No! Didn't anybody explain events to you? I mean, we ran into you in the middle of one!

[video]

[hundred_power]

Uh, if they did, I don't remember...

[video]

[boomerangbend]

[Oh, right. He didn't even remember Zuko and him.

Okay. Quick test.]

Do you even remember running into us?

[Video]

[reckless_eagle]

They usually, like, send some kind of riddle to us a couple of days beforehand. Like, the people on the mirrorside without real things--the rabbit and Alice and all.

[Video]

[boomerangbend]

[Oh, hey! There's a sheep taking up the view for a second.]

...Sheepie! For the last time, that isn't for eating!

[And then Sokka's yanking Sheepie away.]

Uh.

[How'd he miss that?]

Really? I missed that.

[Video]

[reckless_eagle]

[Poland, for the moment, is outside; he wants to get fresh air while it's still pleasant out, and also doesn't really want to be back in his empty bedroom when he can help it these days.]

For sure? They've like, always done it. There's a handful of them, you'll totally get to recognize them if you watch for them. Usually, it's got something to do with the event that's coming, but it's totally hard to actually get anything from it until it's way too late.

[Video]

[boomerangbend]

[Wait, does he mean...]

Was that weird cat one of them? Because I didn't know what to make of that.

[It's all planning these days for Sokka. The fact that those two events crept up on him isn't exactly sitting well. Those schedules make him feel closer to home, and they're more for his benefit than anything. He's gonna keep the map Zuko helped him make, though. At least, unless he finds a more accurate version.]
