Sokka the 33rd - [Voice]

To everyone who was asking yesterday, Katara is just fine now. So... yeah, thanks Ginko. We owe you one.

[With that settled, Sokka moves on to the next order of business.]

Master Souji, sorry I missed our lesson yesterday. [The previous message should explain why he missed it.]

[And then because Sokka is feeling a lot better in spite of a crappy day yesterday (because he bounces back so fast), he decides to start preparing for the future. Which means he needs a filter.]

[Filtered from Shirley and Sanji 100%]

So hey, I kind of have a date I need to prepare for. Anyone got any good ideas about what exactly I should do? I know there's typical stuff like a dinner or flowers and stuff like that. But that's kind of amateur stuff, isn't it? I want to go all out! Sure, Luceti is kind of a boring place at times, but I want to really nail this one good. [Of course Sokka means the actual date (which is merely a practice one), not the person he's dating. Feel free to get that wrong, though.]

No no! I am gonna nail it! I just don't want to count my possum chickens before they hatch, you know?

...Your whats?

Possum chickens. It's part of a swampbender saying.

A swa-- [...you know what? That's not the important part. Time to topic jump back with a shrug.] ...I don't suppose you can cook, can you?

Uh. Sometimes. Kind of... not so much. And there's no one at Seventh Heaven it looks like, so...

...Maybe not a dinner, then. You could get away with something simple if it was a lunch or a meal like that, but unless you can ask someone who can cook to take over Seventh Heaven for the day, it probably won't work out.

[Unfortunately the only person would do something like that is someone Sokka refuses to talk to.]

What about a picnic. With sandwiches. [A beat.] How do yo feel about hot peppers?

Hot peppers are disgusting. [This is said with a vehemence that may imply she's only encountered them on the wrong end of a practical joke.] I'm only glad that they were so rare at my village.

[But returning to the topic at hand, returning to a normal tone fairly quickly:] A picnic would be a good idea normally, but that's normally not something you do in the evening. It'd be a pretty light dinner, too.

[Man. Fenimore doesn't like peppers? Alas for the poor man she ends up with.] Yeah, I guess you have a point there. Man. I have no idea what to do for dinner now!

You could trade in a favour with some girl and get her to make the dinner. But I really don't recommend it. If your date found out that you had a girl cook for the two of you...well, only losing the chance at the second date would be the best you could hope for.

[Man oh man, why did you have to be such an asshole Sanji. You'd be so useful right now.] Maybe I should just... cook something meaty. And then go simple with everything else. I'm really good wish fish.

A meat dish for a girl? [The skepticism is just pouring out from the slow way she says this question, even though Fenimore probably eats a reasonable amount of meat herself. But, after a beat's pause:] Fish should be okay. You can't go wrong with fish.

Well it's even better if it's a fish I caught, right? [Still. You have him doubting that and he's not so sure. Dammit, who knew this was so hard?]

[She considers this for a moment.] That's a good idea. Don't regale her with stories of how you caught it, though. That would be boring to listen to. As long as you do have a few simple dishes besides that, that should go over well. She'll appreciate the effort, too.

Be careful about her serving size, though.

I should give her a lot, right? If I give her too little, she might think I'm commenting that she needs to lose weight?

Not too much! That sends nearly the same message, like she looks like she eats a lot!

... oh. [Hmmmm.] How much would you eat?

Well, I.... [She would eat a fairly normal amount, but she's still feeling a bit self-conscious over her lack of self-control when it came to the week's pies. So, rather than giving an accurate answer, which would still be well within the bounds of reason, she's going to undershoot a little--not so much as to seem unreasonable, but if Fenimore ate the amount she said, she'd be pretty hungry by the end of the evening.]

Huh. Doesn't seem like a lot. [Note to self: plan for dessert.]

[...Maybe that was a bit too low of an estimate. She probably should correct it and say she was wrong.] We-well, girls don't need to eat as much as boys!

You haven't seen Charlotte eat, then.

That's because [she needs it to power her boobs] some people eat more than others. I happen to be a bit of a light eater, so I guess you could add a bit more. [This is a lie: she's even put on a few pounds lately. Granted, it's not enough to actually be a problem, but Fenimore is competing with Legendia characters. They are all tiny. She feels threatened.]

[Maybe you'd have BOOB POWERS if you ate more Fenimore.]

You know, this is all some very good advice. Thanks, this is going to be great. Too bad it's not you I'm taking out, huh?

[Her boobs are just fine! ...And not just because she has Shirley to compare to!

She makes a noise that sounds rather embarrassingly like a snort.] You wish!
