Extreme Makeover: Luceti Edition

Who: The Avatar Cast, any passerbys who want to gawk
What: Upgrading the Avatar House
When: Today, evening
Where: House 56
Summary: Sokka tries to make up to his housemates by using up his remaining points to make a crowded house much more spacious
Rating: Avatarlicious


That morning, Sokka contacted the Malnosso to use up most of his points. Not only did he recover some of his possessions he had lost when he died, but he opted to make the house bigger. Already there'd been issues after Zuko showed up and with Toph's arrival, there was just too little house for them all to fit into. More upsetting was the realization there was no room for Suki if she ever came back. So despite the knowledge that he might need those points for something else later, he took the hit instead. And so, the upgrade commenced.

He'd been intrigued to watch the house seem to just rebuild itself. He'd delivered the blueprints to the Malnosso and this upgrade would fortunately shift some of the rooms around just as it was supposed to. And it was the afternoon, which meant everyone should be out of the house and would be quite surprised when they returned from their wandering about. Of course, he had some other adjustments to make that would require his bender friends to work on. The Malnosso wouldn't include a free slide with it (after all, he used that free high level reward for a hot tub instead). So he intended to get the first earthbender he found to help him with that. Then of course, they would need to carve a hole in the ground and fill it up with water for a pool. But eventually, after getting that all sorted out, it was complete. The Avatar house had become twice as fun and despite how miserable he'd been lately, Sokka felt good about things.

And so he sent out a message on the journals inviting everyone home. He included an invitation to Suki and Ty Lee to check it out too. They may not have been living at the house, but he was hoping this might change Suki's mind.

By the time everyone else arrives, the pool will be ready (thanks to whoever got roped into making it) and Sokka will have even stocked up on sodas and junk foods for them to eat. He'd have made some good food for them to eat, but... he's Sokka. Junk food will just have to do.

I was trying to joke.

What's the point of covering yourself more?

See you've got too good a poker face for jokes.

[ He shrugs and tries to ignore the fact that he's talking jokes with the Fire Lord. ]

I dunno, decency? Running around shirtless might give people the wrong idea about the sort of city we're living in probably.

[personal profile] twodragons 2013-07-26 07:27 am (UTC)(link)
But... you're swimming. Being shirtless is kind of expected.

[He dips under the water for a moment before resurfacing. The pool water is full of chemicals and stings his eyes. Apparently this makes it cleaner, but he doesn't know how much he cares for it.]

Unless you have a flabby chest you don't want to show off. In that case I understand.

Hey! [ Oh god Zuko what have you done? This is the sound of a teenage ego being prodded to life. ]

I am in excellent shape!
twodragons: (Default)

[personal profile] twodragons 2013-08-01 10:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Then what's the point of hiding it?

[Zuko smirks at him a little.]

Isn't this the time for showing that sort of thing off?
isgorgeous: (45)

[personal profile] isgorgeous 2013-08-02 02:18 am (UTC)(link)
Well this is also my only swimsuit. It's not like I'm gonna go skinny dipping. I like showing off as much as the next guy but even I'm not that confident.

[ He shrugs and gets up from the edge of the pool to stretch. ]

Plus it's not like I can dress in an old fashioned one like yours. Totally out of style.
twodragons: (are you for real)

[personal profile] twodragons 2013-08-02 08:02 pm (UTC)(link)
...It's a swimsuit. Why does it have to be fashionable at all?

[The very concept has him making a face.]

Sounds like something someone would make up to dupe wealthy nobles with, though I suppose that's common.
isgorgeous: (15)

[personal profile] isgorgeous 2013-08-04 03:58 am (UTC)(link)
Nah, everyone gets duped and generally sorta likes it. [ He shrugs, not really too bothered by it. ] I'm poor and I still like fashion.

It's all about looking good, you know? If you wanna be somebody you're supposed to look right.

[ He takes a few steps back. Zuko might want to take cover. ]

I never thought it was that big of a deal.

[He scoots back a little himself as Bolin looks ready to jump in.]

I only wore what it was proper for a prince of the Fire Nation to wear.
isgorgeous: (44)

[personal profile] isgorgeous 2013-08-05 11:23 pm (UTC)(link)
But it's totally a big deal! You dressed like a Prince because people expected you to, right? I bet if you dressed differently you could be anyone on the street.

[ But then that thought gets derailed as he takes a running leap into the pool. ]

Earthbending bomb!
twodragons: (reaction to a bad ending)

[personal profile] twodragons 2013-08-06 03:19 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, but that doesn't have anything to do with fashion--

[Oh he had better not actually be earthbending in the pool... Oh good.

Wait.

Zuko ducks underwater to avoid the minor tidal wave caused by Bolin's re-entry.]

[personal profile] isgorgeous 2013-08-08 04:01 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Sorry Zuko, some things must be done and every swimming pool needs an inaugural earthbending bomb.

When Bolin resurfaces his hair is in his face. ]


Whoo! And it had everything to do with fashion. [ Nope not letting that one go. ]
twodragons: (are you for real)

[personal profile] twodragons 2013-08-08 07:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Wearing the same fashion as the people on the street in order to blend in temporarily isn't the same thing as wearing what's in style just because it's in style.

[The prince glares at the other teen from beneath his own dripping bangs.]
