05 ~ Fire and Spirits and Bears! Oh my! [Action]

[Locked to Sokka]

It was a day like any other. Zuko was going out hunting as he often did. Though this time Sokka was actually coming with him. Which was more than fine. Having two sets of hands meant bringing back more food. Not that especially needed all that much, but hunting had become one of Zuko's favorite hobbies here in Luceti.

It was one of those unusually warm days during the winter, and Zuko decided to take a route deep into the forest that he didn't often take. Maybe they would find something interesting today.

[Locked to Sokka and Raava]

Blood. Sweat. And Tears. That's what happens when you run across a certain familiar bear. But this time they were victorious! The bear had fallen under their combined might, and after a couple hours of field dressing the huge animal, they were carrying back home. The bear had been skinned, the choice pieces of meat harvested, the claws... and Sokka had even insisted on taking the thing's whole head back. Which Zuko made him carry.

The firebender sported his own sack of bear meat, as well as the bear's pelt over one shoulder. They were quite the sight walking through the forest.

[Open]

Eventually, after their encounter with Raava, Sokka and Zuko can be seen parading through the village with their cut up bear. Eventually making it back to their house where their friends were sure to notice too. They'll have two very proud young men carrying the remains of the bear. Enough meat to last them for weeks, and of course a new bear skin rug.

Yes. I am Raava.

[She drew herself up so she could look somewhat imposing - harder to do when she was no longer the size of a mountain and actually only a little taller than a tall human - but she still tried. Her voice clearly implying that humans in front of her should have known who she was already.

She didn't like that they didn't know how they were brought there or that they didn't know how to get home. But few humans were ever observant enough to see what they needed to. Just one so far and...

Wan was friendly. He would likely seek out these other humans. Either the ones in front of her or the ones nearby, in what she assumed was a settlement of some sort. There were many of them there. When humans gathered like that, it was usually to build shelters and shape the world to their needs.]


If you cannot aid me in returning, then I have little need to continue speaking with you. However, I am looking for a human. His name is Wan.

[Sokka looks to Zuko at the mention of Raava's name. All he does is give a little shrug. He clearly didn't recognise the name much at all, even if it's supposed to be from Avatar World, as Zuko was guessing.

[But Mrs.(?) Spirit thingy was looking for Wan?]


Wan? [Sokka sounds a bit like he's in disbelief about why anyone would ever be looking for Wan.] You mean, guy about this tall, [he continues as he raises his hand to about Wan's height,] tells terrible jokes all the time, kind of got a temper and a weird streak a mile wide, big head of hair, that Wan?

Yeah, we know him.

[Raava definitely seemed to 'perk up' as it were when Sokka spoke of Wan. The description was accurate enough. And really, any joke that Wan told tended to be terrible and go right over her head. The tempter bit was... largely subjective. But at least they seemed to know him.]

What I want with him is none of your concern, human.

[She said in a similarly distrusting tone as Zuko.

Though, she did relent enough to continue in a softer voice:]


It is important that I find him. He will be looking for me, as well.
theideaguy: (thinking)

[Sokka isn't quite as distrustful as Zuko. In fact, he's finding the entire conversation just a bit funny given how gruff Zuko suddenly has become and how silly it is that they're talking to a spirit. Even despite Sokka's bad encounters with spirits, it's not like Raava just attacked them like Hei Bai had.]

Relax, Zuko. He... she... he seems friendly enough. And it's not like you could stop him... her... it from finding Wan anyway.

[He pauses for a moment before looking Raava up and down. A finger goes to Sokka's chin.]

Though somehow I doubt Wan would be looking for you. I mean, it's not like Wan's ever mentioned that he wanted a kite.

I have never known Wan to dislike the spirits. He has ever been a champion of them for longer than we have traveled together.

[Raava answered, puzzled at the claim. She had no reason to believe they spoke of a different human because his is the only human name she's bothered to learn. But the description was very odd.]

You are either mistaken, or lying.
theideaguy: (incredulous)

[personal profile] theideaguy 2015-01-08 01:53 am (UTC)(link)
[Well, Zuko does have a reasonably good point on that one.]

Hey, you try telling that to a guy who nearly burned our house down because he was seeing fake spirits everywhere.

I'd say his answer to killing spiders would be to burn down a whole forest... save that he probably likes spiders too.

NOT HERE. I SWEAR I'M STILL ALIVE.

[Meanwhile: Wan sneezed. Which was totally weird because he thought he was over that cold he got from excitedly playing in the snow with absolutely no winter clothes whatsoever. A ramen noodle may have exited through his nose in the process. Demonstrating the perils of eating noodles while other people are talking about you.]
