Sokka the 61st - [Action/Voice]

[markofthewise]

[When Sokka opens the journal, he does it with a very specific purpose and yeah, maybe it's New Feather season and the aftermath of some dumb experiment, but he has some news that he's been sitting on for awhile. News that only two or three people outside of the Avatar house are even aware of. So today, around lunch period at school, Sokka heads

I can probably help, but I'm hardly a shipwright, so don't count me in as an expert or anything.

[justicereigns]

See if there are any trees or sections Moro wouldn't mind parting with? Otherwise it makes them prime for forest fires this summer anyway.

[markofthewise]

Yeah, I'll see what I can do.

[Ugh, working around Moro.. what a pain. Maybe if he's lucky, there might be material up in those new farmlands he can use.]

[justicereigns]

Or you could do what Blackbeard did and wait until the Malnosso kidnap her, but I'm of the personal belief that he's probably not a good role model.

[markofthewise]

... yeah, I don't think anyone could find much about him to want to model after. Unless your goal in life is winning food eating contests.

[justicereigns]

[...]

Do you really think that's all he is?

[markofthewise]

Well... there's also all the other things he does that makes him villainy, like doing actual legitimate pirate-y things. [Such a rare trait in these parts, isn't it? Pirates that act like pirates.]

[justicereigns]

Don't underestimate him. He killed the strongest man in the world, and everyone's already underestimated him once.

[markofthewise]

Don't worry. Getting involved with him is extremely low on my list of things I want to do. In fact, I'm pretty sure he didn't even make the front of the page. Or the back.

[justicereigns]

Good idea.

Tsk. I'm trying to think of materials other than wood that'd be sufficient.

[markofthewise]

I don't really think there's anything... practical, anyway. [Who knows where they'd get enough iron for a boat.]

[justicereigns]

I suppose it's too ridiculous to ask the Malnosso anyway.

[markofthewise]

Jack asked the Malnosso for boats more than once. [Yeah he stalks conversations. It makes up for not being able to tag himself.] They never went for it.

[justicereigns]

Don't ask for ships, ask for wood or lumber and specify that you'd rather not hack down their lovely forest to get it.

[Smoker knows politics. He just chooses to observe rather than participate in it.]

[markofthewise]

Not a bad idea. I guess there's no harm trying. [... not that he likes the idea of depending on the Malnosso for this. Sure, he's using their tools for this, but still...]

[justicereigns]

It's no different than using their food supplies.

[Smoker is of the belief that blackmailing them makes it okay.]
