A. Mingle
[The real reason Sokka is wandering around the town square is his desire to eavesdrop on conversations and hopefully learn more about the locals. Unfortunately, he gets a little sidetracked once he learns there are snacks. He can be seen standing off to the side of the snack table trying to balance an armful of food and hot chocolate, which, as he takes a step, comes dangerously close to spilling on your character. Thankfully, he thinks fast and hurries to catch it. He's successful, but he ends up tragically dropping the several delightfully named "pigs in a blanket" that he was planning on eating.]

Aw, there goes my dinner.

B. Bad Memories
[After he wakes up, Sokka won't spend very long immersed in the uncomfortable feelings that result from the...dream? Vision? There's too much to do and he has too many questions; he can't just sit around and recover. But in the immediate aftermath, with his own traumatic memories of grief dredged up by the candystriper's sobbing words, he sits with his knees drawn up to his chest, tears on his face. It takes him a long moment, but he tries to wipe them away and collect himself.]

A. Fight Time
[Sokka actually loves shopping, and under most circumstances, would be glad to check out the department store with free money (gift cards) in hand. He's been wanting to shop for different clothes, in hopes of finding outfits that are a little easier to fight in than what he has at "home." This means it wouldn't have taken much coaxing to get him into the department store. Of course, when that choice is taken away from him and he finds himself heading toward it by creepy impulse, rather than by will, his feelings about shopping skew toward negative and make his current closet seem a lot less unappealing.

He's been in his share of battles before, but creepy mannequins are an entirely new experience. That doesn't mean he hesitates; as soon as he's under attack, he pulls his boomerang off of his back and starts throwing it around the room. His aim is true, and it's clear that he has a great handle on the physics of boomerang throwing, as he's able to hit multiple mannequins without issue. Unfortunately, a boomerang to the head does little to slow the mannequins down, which means that Sokka ends up acting entirely on the defensive until he manages to brainstorm a plan. If your character gets in the way of his boomerang, he'll yell out a loud:] Duck! [as he throws. If your character look like they're in need of help warding off the mannequins, he'll jump in front of them and use his boomerang like a club until your character can get away.]

B. Tripping Up Mannequins
[Amidst swiping his boomerang through the air and alternating between hiding and attempting to gain ground, Sokka has managed to knot a bunch of (ugly and incredibly unfit for fighting) clothes together to make the world's worst trip wire. Is your character loitering near one of the bathrooms in hopes of getting water? Hopefully they're ready for Sokka, who officially enlists them in his plan.]

I'm going to lure them out. [Quickly whispered, while he swings the clothes-rope like a lasso to indicate that he's going to toss it in your character's direction.] Get ready to trip them. [If they pull this off, the mannequins will hopefully fall into a pile, remaining down for the count for long enough to steal a very fast drink of water. Long-term, Sokka needs a better plan than this, but he needs water to survive and therefore think, so this is a first step until he scouts out the rest of the store.]

C. Sleep Time
[Guess who's made his way to the hunting section of the department store? Sokka, that's who! He's sporting a few newly forming bruises and a bloody lip to show for it, but he also has a brand new machete in hand, fishing line wrapped around one of his arms, and several packs of bullets stuffed into pockets. He's exhausted, so the priority is to find a place he can hide to rest. He makes his way to the furniture section, with hopes of barricading a sleeping spot.

He can be found shoving sofas around, wrapping fishing line around them to trip up anyone who comes near, and tossing bullets all around his sleeping area. The idea behind this is that they should trip the mannequins up and cause enough noise to wake him if he's danger of being attacked. Try not to slip if you approach him, but if you look like you're also in need of some rest, he'll flag you down with a wave...]

A. Snow Tower
[It's been months since Sokka was back home in the South Pole, and he misses it a lot, so he's happy to see that there's something about this place that he doesn't mind, which comes in the form of a snowstorm. His assigned father may not be interested in shoveling the driveway, but that's fine, because Sokka has a plan of his own. He clears all the walkways and gathers up a bunch of snow to...

Well, he wants to flex his art muscle and make a snowman of some kind, but he's well-aware of how the locals view him. Very few people here seem to take him seriously, and that's saying a lot, because Sokka isn't always taken seriously back in his world either. It bothers him because he feels like being treated as a child is holding him back. He has to go to school, when he would rather spend hours at the library researching this place. He also has to be home at a certain time in the evening, he has to defer (in theory) to a parental figure, and he has to deal with all the looks leveled his way because of his hair or boomerang and whatever else about him drives the locals crazy. So, making a snowman probably isn't going to help his case, which is tragic.

But that's okay, because he gets to work on something even better: a watchtower made entirely of snow. The neighbors will probably think he's just being a kid, which he accepts for this because it'll keep them off his back, but in reality, if he makes it tall enough, Sokka will be able to watch the neighborhood and defend his house from wayward salespeople or whomever else decides to come around. You can find him trying to gather up snow from random places: sidewalks, the street, even mailboxes, shoving it all on top of a wooden sled he found in his garage and dragging it back to his house.]

B. Network: Text
[It took him way too long to compose this message but finally:]

need help with your snow problem? i'm your guy! i'll shovel your snow for the low price of a hot meal. [He will also accept cold hard cash, though, if that's all you've got. He has big plans and small means, so he has to hustle a little.] i'll even take all the snow away when i'm done with it
