Hoo, Luceti. You one and only [...sorry Azusa. This actually hurts way less than she thought it would, which makes her smile even broader.] warrens gal here.

[She's sitting atop a building in the setting sun. The journal is aimed at her side as he's sitting here on the ledge. In her hand she is spinning a tooth - the one she's holding is somewhat smaller than her forearm, so about the size of a typical dagger.]

In a bit've a broil. Got this tooth, and fig I oughta do something with it. Got some who told me to give it to meds, but don't wanna nuke it. Got any other thinks? Poss I won't get a thing, but might as well put 'em on the Grid.

[...Hah]

...Glad I got to go home. [A little contented sigh. She didn't get to stay, but even a day now that she can remember it makes all the difference in the world.]

Yeah, what sort of weapon?

Voice

[markofthewise]

That's up to you. In the Water Tribe, we'll usually use a bone like that for a spear.

Voice

[makeitquick]

Spears don't do it for me. Knives, swords, axes. Love axes. Maybe something unique?

Voice

[markofthewise]

Well it's not really the right shape for any of those. If I had the actual tooth, I guess I could see if it can be reshaped without damaging it.

Voice

[makeitquick]

Yeah, last I wanna do is nuke it.

[...] You're from there?

Voice

[markofthewise]

You mean the smithy? Yeah. You could say I run the place.

Voice

[makeitquick]

Huh. So you're the man to talk to.

Voice

[markofthewise]

Pretty much. I'm definitely the man. To talk to.

Voice

[makeitquick]

Ans you're not gonna nuke it? So, I'll bring it over soon. Now?

Voice

[markofthewise]

Well I haven't really worked out on how to split the atom, personally, so I'm pretty sure I won't be nuking it.

Voice

[makeitquick]

No, meant- Ugh, no. I mean I don't want it damaged where it's gunna break. Cost me to get this thing.

Voice

[markofthewise]

Oh. Right. [... he kinda sees it now.] Depending on what you want, it may not be in the same shape, but you'll still have it.

Voice

[makeitquick]

Alright, solid - I'ma gonna bring it over then. You there today, boss?

Voice

[markofthewise]

[Boss, huh... fancy.]

Like always.

Voice

[makeitquick]

[SWEET. Well then, closing the book and she'll be right over, now even supporting an idea.]

Voice

[markofthewise]

[And Sokka will be there! Waiting! On the couch.]

Voice

[makeitquick]

[Melaka arrived! In all of her several piercings and light clothing glory! And she goes to stab her tooth into the counter.

...Making a small hole in it, oops]

Voice

[markofthewise]

[Sokka stands. Looks at his counter. And his jaw drops.]

... what was that for!?

[makeitquick]

Waking you up! [She'll just leave it embedded. Not that Sokka was. Sleeping] The way we would in the warrens.

[markofthewise]

Well this isn't the warrens! And I made this counter! It won't just repair itself.

[He. Pulls out the tooth. Which is harder than it looks. He gives it a tug and it doesn't budge. Stares at Melaka and not wanting to lose any manly points, tugs on it again. Okay, so it's not coming out. That's cool.]

[makeitquick]

...Having trouble?

[She tries. To hide. the amusement in her voice.]

[markofthewise]

Yes. Someone wrecked my counter. [He just stops trying okay. And leans on the counter instead.] I take it this is the tooth?

[makeitquick]

That's right--

[And she goes to tug at the tooth. Almost effortlessly, she pulls it out before setting it on its side on the counter]

[markofthewise]

[WHATEVER MELAKA. He loosened it for you, okay.]

Great. You figure out what you want with it?

[makeitquick]

Yeah- you got some paper? I'll draw it... unless you know Summer's-- our scythe.
