Hey Captain! I've got something to show you.

[Filtered 80% to Housemates, Winry, Hugo, Caesar, Yellow, Paru, and... Gold.]

[This seems like a nice, ridiculous number of people to invite. For three canoes. Despite Yellow's suggestion, he doesn't include Red. He barely knows the guy, after all. Gold... well, he doesn't seem so bad.]

So some of you may have heard I was planning a little fishing trip soon. Not just going down the lake for the day, though! A few days camping under the stars, eating what we catch, living like real men! And uh, women! Just real living! It'll be great, trust me. There's even beach party opportunities, if you know what I mean. If all goes well, we leave this Sunday. So who's in?

So uh.. I hope you guys don't mind if I miss training for a few days. I'll be taking some friends of mine on a big fishing trip for a few days. Unwind! Enjoy nature! That sort of thing. I'll try to keep up my practice on my own, but it would take a few hours to go meeting you guys back in the village, given where we're going.

[Open]

Hey, Edward. You okay with watching the smithy next week? I won't be around to run it. Oh and for everyone else, does anyone know any good creepy ghost stories for campfire situations? The creepier, the better!

[Once Sokka has made his messages sent out, he decides to enjoy the day off he scheduled himself from the smithy. So aside from attending school that day (and noting a specific lack of his sister, he decides to hang out on his roof practicing with a new flute he found. As it turns out, he's not very good with it just yet. Feel free to tell him to stop polluting the air with those horrible sounds. Hours later in the evening, he'll be off in the woods, deciding to enjoy some hunting. Anyone out in the woods at the time might find him skulking through the woods in his Water Tribe armor complete with wolf helmet. Because... he just likes an excuse to wear it.]

They keep their pets, called Pokemon, in little balls.

[markofthebrave]

What?

[ Filtered ]

[markofthewise]

It's some kind of magic or something. You can ask them about it when we're there.

[ Filtered ]

[markofthebrave]

I'm not sure I like magic that involves trapping other living things.

[ Filtered ]

[markofthewise]

I can't see Yellow hurting a fly if she could help it. I'm probably simplifying it.

[ Filtered ]

[markofthebrave]

That would be a shock. [Sigh. It has been a long day. Let's let this go.]

How long are you thinking of staying out there?

[ Filtered ]

[markofthewise]

Three days to a week. It depends on how long we can keep everyone there. Or if we get hit by bad weather.

[ Filtered ]

[markofthebrave]

All right. Did you let Professor Raine know?

[ Filtered ]

[markofthewise]

Professor Raine? Why would I-?

Ohhhh...!

[ Filtered ]

[markofthebrave]

Yeah, I mean, Caesar doesn't really go, but Hugo does and we do. I need to talk to her anyway, so I can let her know.

[ Filtered ]

[markofthewise]

Oh, good. I think we're the only three that go. Funny, that.

[ Filtered ]

[markofthebrave]

Why is that funny?

[ Filtered ]

[markofthewise]

Winry and Caesar. They seem like they're so smart. But they can't even be bothered to go to school.

[ Filtered ]

[markofthebrave]

Winry said she slept through most of school... I guess she was just really focused on learning her trade.

[And with more wry exasperation:] And I guess Caesar is too.

[ Filtered ]

[markofthewise]

... I didn't know that. Huh. [Sokka is interested in lots of subjects. Too many, perhaps. He just keeps himself too busy sometimes.]

Caesar is just lazy. Hugo and I might be forced to just drag him out there.

[ Filtered ]

[markofthebrave]

Didn't he say he wanted to come?

[ Filtered ]

[markofthewise]

He said that not knowing the plan is to leave at six in the morning.

[ Filtered ]

[markofthebrave]

...do you really want to drag around someone who's just going to be complaining the whole time?

I mean, isn't that your job?

[ Filtered ]

[markofthewise]

Hey! I don't complain all the time!

[ Filtered ]

[markofthebrave]

Noooo, of course not. I must have gotten you confused with Momo.

[ Filtered ]

[markofthewise]

[...]

You're good with the guest list, right?

[ Filtered ]

[markofthebrave]

[A shrug.] Sure. I still don't want to be dragging anyone around who doesn't want to be there, but if they're friends of yours it will probably be fine.

[ Filtered ]

[markofthewise]

Oh. Well I was going to say, if there's someone you want along... but if that's the case, we're good to go!

[ Filtered ]

[markofthebrave]

[...she's actually touched.]

That's really nice of you, Sokka! But it's your trip. How many people can fit in your canoes?

[ Filtered ]

[markofthewise]

[He won't comment on that. :|]

We passes the limit of people who can fit. I'll have to let you lead some of them on canoe. I'll have to take everyone else on foot. There's too many of us for three canoes.
