Fifth floor common room -- late morning: Sunny day, sweeping the clouds away...

[sarcasm-guy.livejournal.com]

Sokka settled down to enjoy a class-free morning in front of the teevee box, and managed to happen across children's educational programming.

'The Holy Grail!', he would have thought, or 'the Rosetta Stone!' -- if he had any idea what either of those were, but he doesn't. What he DOES know is that he may just be able to figure out the weird system of writing around here without having to *gasp* ask someone for help.

So, he has settled in to absorb as much Poppyseed Lane as humanly possible, and take copious notes. Copious. Like, a lot.

Within the first ten minutes, the purple puppet with fangs has already unlocked the mysteries of the way Fandom writes numbers by counting to ten ("Ah-ah-ah!"), the Pastry Monster has begun his journey into letters with "P is for Pastry", and two people did a dance while telling him it's okay to mispronounce "tomato".


Now... He threw a pillow at the teevee box. "I already know the difference between 'near' and 'far', you stupid puppet!" he shouted at it.

Anders squinted up at the doorframe. "What, me pull this down? I'd have to try really hard. And I like the doorway where it is," he added.

"Oh, good. Cause moving doorways would make this school just too weird," Katara said with a straight face.

"Yeah, it'd be the weirdest thing ever," Anders said, just as deadpan. "I don't think we could handle that."

"The only thing that could be worse would be a randomly opening window," Katara giggled.

"Yeah, and --" Anders lost it and broke down laughing. "Wow, okay, congratulations. You're fitting in really well so far."

She beamed at him. "Thank you! I keep feeling like I have new girl stamped on my forehead. But then the TV downstairs was randomly playing...umm, movies without anyone telling it too so I figure weird is just going to happen."

"And the sooner you get used to that around here, the better," Anders said with a nod. "So you'll do just fine."

"That's my plan," she said with a nod.

"Good plan. But if you ever need backup, well . . . glad to be of service."
