Sokka the 61st - [Action/Voice]

May 05, 2011 21:31

[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 ( Read more... )

A Missus Thunderaxe, lad?! Well done! And soon enough multiplicitous tiny Thunderaxes roaming about the place I should imagine!

[Jack is pleased with this news. So pleased.]

WHAT?! No! Never a Thursday! Not a Thursday! Haven't you heard the ancient old verse about Thursdays?!

markofthewise May 6 2011, 03:16:07 UTC

[... he has an idea of where this is going. He can't resist.]

No, how does it go?

lists_to_port May 6 2011, 03:23:57 UTC

Erm---well it doesn't go far, mind, as no man living has ever heard the full verse. Only bits and pieces as spoken from the lips of the dying what ran afoul of Thursdays.

markofthewise May 6 2011, 03:28:27 UTC

Uh huh. [Totally not buying this at all.] It's really unfortunate to have such a dangerous day once a week then.

lists_to_port May 6 2011, 03:32:26 UTC

It's as they say, Thunderaxe: "Thursday's child gets woefully stuck through with arrows and axes and whatall."

That's part of the poem, there.

markofthewise May 6 2011, 03:36:34 UTC

Don't poems generally rhyme? Even just a little?

lists_to_port May 6 2011, 03:41:54 UTC

Just a bit of blank verse, if you fudge it and squint. Here:

THURSday's CHILD gets WOEfully STUCK THROUGH
With ARROWS and AXES and WHAT-ALL.

markofthewise May 6 2011, 03:45:16 UTC

... riiiight. Yeah, definitely seeing it now.

The verse about the sausage factory is doubly macabre. I don't say that one aloud.

markofthewise May 6 2011, 03:56:08 UTC

Yeah, dangerous things, sausage factories.

lists_to_port May 6 2011, 03:57:46 UTC

Because of the grinding. And the bits.

markofthewise May 6 2011, 04:03:09 UTC

The 'bits'? What bits?

lists_to_port May 6 2011, 04:07:42 UTC

Don't you know where sausages COME from, lad? You're about to marry and no one's ever given you that talk?!

markofthewise May 6 2011, 04:10:49 UTC

Hey, hey! I know sausages! Just ask Charlotte, I'm the Sausage Apprentice. [Whatever the hell that means.]

lists_to_port May 6 2011, 12:51:28 UTC

Ah.

Does that mean you're trainin' to BECOME a sausage, or merely to make them? Because the distinction is important. Highly important.
