Sokka the 34th - [Voice]

[Filtered from Katara and the Big Four Baddies and Sanji]

Alright, friends of Katara. This is me, Sokka. Her brother. You should already know that. She probably doesn't know it because let's face it, math is more of my thing but her birthday is coming up next month. On July 5th, no less. So if anyone wants to help out, I'm the guy to talk to. I'm thinking we should go all out on this. Something big. Something... yeah, just something big. With streamers. Stuff like that.

Uh, Regal. You think you could make a cake at the bakery? It needs to be big. Vanilla. Maybe bits of nuts on it. Not too sweet. But big. Really big. Maybe make it say "Katara" on it. And there should be candles in the shape of a fifteen. Or maybe fifteen candles? I'm not sure how that tradition works. Maybe it's fifteen tiny cakes...?

I have the you-know-what for you-know-who at you-know-where.

[He saved the BEST NEWS FOR LAST. After seeing an echo of Azula taunting him to the point of him punching her and she ended up not being real (and him falling through her and to the ground), he did some investigating and came to a pretty startling conclusion.]

[Filtered to... oh wait, this doesn't need a filter.]

Azula was sent home. I'm sure we'll all miss her so much.

[Before ending his message, he momentarily thinks about saying something about the draft. He decides against it. People will know or they won't. It's best to leave it alone.]

[After moping about the draft, it's nice to hear some actual good news.]

You do? Oh, that's wonderful!... May I come see?

[Private]

[markofthewise]

Of course! I have it with me right now. [If she can figure out where 'you know where' actually is.]

I'll remember to tell her happy birthday, then.

[Locked]

[markofthewise]

You can't tell her until AFTER the party, though! You'll ruin the surprise!

I can't wait! Is there anything I can do?

[markofthewise]

[Well you could stick around for this one!]

You could bring some more food. Or help me set up a good party site. I'm not sure where we'll do it yet.

[goldenglasses]

Not sure what I can do but I'll be happy to help!

[markofthewise]

You could always help set up stuff! Like... I don't know, what do people usually do at birthday parties?

[Voice]

[skulljokelol.livejournal.com]

Ah, another birthday? How delightful!

[OOC: Going to work now, so will tag back when I'm home.]

[Voice]

[markofthewise]

Yeah! You'll be willing to play a song again, right?

[Voice]

[flamedork.livejournal.com]

You know I'll definitely be around to help with this.

[Voice]

[markofthewise]

I was already counting on it.

Speaking of which, you should've told us it was your birthday.

It's Katara's birthday? I'd love to help.

[Private]

[markofthewise]

... what, really? [He's astonished because, you know, Justice League.]

Her birthday's on the 5th?

[markofthewise]

Well, it is here. At home it's the first of January. But it was the middle of summer when she arrived here in February, so I had to figure out a new date for it... [They're teenagers. Like hell they'll wait an extra six months to officially be older.]

I wouldn't mind helping. Depends on what you've got in mind.

Well, I was thinking, big party on the water. Maybe the river or lake. It's kind of a party for Nami and Roku too now, so it doesn't have to be exclusively Water Tribe style. Maybe throw up a few torches. A pirate flag. [Oh man, if Nami attracts all the villains to this party, he's going to be so upset.] There will be cake. Also food and music. Maybe games. Vash is researching games. Swimming as well.

[Not pinged by the announcement itself, which was skimmed, but by the details.]

Katara's fifteen years old?

[Filtered]

[markofthewise]

Well, a few weeks short of fifteen, but close enough.

What can I do?

[markofthewise]

You figured out how to make those hamburgers, right?

A birthday cake? That can certainly be arranged. I believe tradition is to have fifteen candles on it if it will be her fifteenth birthday, but I could also put them in the shape of a fifteen if you'd prefer.

[Filter]

[markofthewise]

No no, fifteen candles will be perfect! Thanks!

Oh. Uh, my friend kind of forgot to tell me about his birthday. So he'll need a cake too. Maybe... not as big. Or scale the first one down smaller and make them the same size. I guess it's only fair if they're even.

... I'll uh, make it up to you. Promise.

I imagine you already have a lot of help, but if there's something you'd like me to bring for Katara, I would be happy to do it!

[markofthewise]

You could bring some kind of dish. Are you good at making anything? [He oooonly vaguely remembers talking to you a few times.]
