If anyone finds a pair of boots, could you... bring them back to me?

[ooc; Jim died! And then he came back! He's missing other stuff too but he really only wants the boots back. :| But feel free to claim his shirt, pants, belt, socks, boots, and a couple of hair-ties if you feel so inclined.]

[believeslegends]

[Oh. Zuko, long time no talk.]

What do they look like?

[Audio]

[believeslegends]

Sounds like them, yeah. I can-- [No, he really doesn't feel like leaving his room right now.]

Could you bring them over?

[Audio]

[withanokka]

[Sokka's been catching up on his sleep since he left Jim alone the day before, and when he went to put up his dirty pants from the day before, something had fallen out of his pocket.

That earring that had given him so much trouble.

He'd remembered to give him the map and knife back, but the earring had gotten lost in the pocket lining-- and it hadn't seemed important at the time.]

Oh, hey, there was, uh... something else I forgot to give you. I grabbed it, before, uh.

Well.

Are you in your room?

[Audio]

[believeslegends]

Yeah. Come on.

[withanokka]

[Sokka's there less than ten minute later, knocking at the door.

When Jim opens it, he shoves two fists in his face.]

Pick one!

[He's trying to be funny.]

[Commentlog]

[believeslegends]

[OH JEEZ SUDDENLY TWO FISTS IN HIS FACE, Jim almost recoils back into the room SOKKA DON'T DO THAT. NOT RIGHT NOW. It takes him a minutes to realize it's Sokka.]

... Uh... The right?

[Audio]

[rocklikerunaway]

[Jim and then Sokka were both mysteriously absent. Now Jim is missing stuff. It's probably just a coincidence.

Yeah, even in her own mind, Toph doesn't buy it.]

What happened to you?

[Isn't her sensitivity just overwhelming?]

[Audio]

[believeslegends]

[It is. Jim is blown away by her concern.]

Got in an argument with an oven.

[Hey, it's kind of true, right?]

[Audio]

[rocklikerunaway]

Well that was dumb. What's the point in arguing with something that can't fight back?

[Wait. Waaaaait... He's lying, isn't he?]

... You okay?

[Audio]

[believeslegends]

Yeah.

[The first answer was stretching the truth creatively. This one was an outright lie. And all that stupid stuff Sokka and Katara and Hiccup were talking about the other week are coming back with a vengeance and God he really hates this right now.]

What about you?

[noturmother]

You lost you're boots.

[Somehow, she thinks it was a little more than just boots. Especially considering she's got his shirt in her hands. She knows it's his; she'd recognize it anywhere, draped on a scrawny teen or not.]

Which.. room is yours?

[believeslegends]

[Oh this oughta be great. Jim wasn't sure if Sokka'd told anyone, but if he did? He'd definitely had told Katara. This was going to be all kinds of awkward.]

It's--

[locked | 60%]

Deck five, room 8440.

[noturmother]

[She hadn't heard anything from Sokka, actually. But Katara isn't stupid. Someone comes on the communicators, asking for lost clothes? Since unadulterated sex seems entirely out of the question, it can only be one other reason.

She hums a reply before heading for the stairs, and around five minutes later, theirs a soft rap on his door, and a glum Katara on the other side. For your sake, mostly, Jim. His shirt is tucked over her arms, as well.]

DAMMIT I CAN'T TAKE THIS SERIOUSLY NOW, THANKS ELY

[believeslegends]

[It's nice to know the observation skills run in the family. He wouldn't have bothered asking for anything at all, but... those are his boots, man. He opens the door, not looking that hot. It's probably a good thing he had other clothes in his room.

... And doesn't she look so happy. His expression matches hers.]

Yeah? [And then he sees the shirt. Ohhhhh great. She knows.]

[thenotmagician]

Kid, you alright?

[believeslegends]

[Oh. Jeez, Zeke breaking the Avatar combo making him nervous. SUDDENLY! AN ADULT!]

I-- yeah. I'm all right.

[thenotmagician]

You in your room?

[believeslegends]

Yeah-- why?
