Sokka the 50th - [Action/Voice]

[markofthewise]

When do we start getting some real snow around here? I've seen a little here and there, but the stuff practically melts by the time it hits the ground! My real birthday is in November, but not, you know, the one it is in Luceti. I won't actually be, you know, seventeen this month. That's not the point. But back home, we have some pretty good blizzards this time of year. I mean, sure, there's snow all the time back home, but November snow is... special? Kind of? I'm just hoping we don't have to wait until December for the real stuff. Sunshine and flowers are great and all, but it's getting kind of old by now, you know?

I have your orders ready. Sorry they're a bit late. But, you know how it is. Throw in some super strength, stupid costumes, and hallucinations and you get a little behind. But they're good to pick up.

[Filtered to Katie]

I finished the sword you wanted. You know, the one you were going to make? But never did? At two in the morning? Yeah, I have it. You should come pick it up.

[Having let everyone know his feelings about the weather, as well as work related updates, Sokka settles into the smithy to get some work done and meet anyone coming to pick up their orders. Afterward, he decides to have some fun in the Battle Dome. He can either be stopped on his way there from the smithy, or someone can meet up with him there.]

[Wow it snows that much where Sokka is from...? That's kinda cool. But then she happens to think of something. A trigger in her head, and therefore she must ask..!]

Are there penguins where you're from? [Do hear the baited breath here]

[Voice]

[markofthewise]

Yeah, we have penguins. In fact, we used to go penguin sledding when we were kids. Pretty fun. But for the record? They taste horrible.

I could live without a blizzard. [Because it would keep her cooped up inside the house with nothing to do.]

[markofthewise]

Have you ever been in one? Anyway, it's not the blizzard that's any fun, true. It's afterward.

[Finally deciding to swing by the smithy he had been told about, Terry looked over the building. He had seen some of this stuff in museums, archival vids, and bits stuffed away in the old man's database. He let his eyes move over the wall, seeing some of the work in progress and tools of the trade. Seeing a sword set on the wall, he couldn't help but grin. And I thought Curare had a fancy sword.] Schway.

[markofthewise]

[And there's Sokka watching him from behind. And yes, he actually is picking at his teeth with a spare sai.]

Sword, actually. But hey, you were close.

[voice]

[barefoot-bender.livejournal.com]

Speak for yourself, Sokka. I hope we don't get snow ever.

[voice]

[markofthewise]

Hey, it won't be that bad. Besides, this will be your first snow, right? [That she remembers, at least.]

[Same Filter]

[endgames]

Better late than never. I'll swing by in an hour to get them.

[Same Filter]

[markofthewise]

Take your time. I'll be here for awhile.

[voice]

[memoryboxes]

Oh, I wouldn't want snow, personally—it's the toughest time of the year to live, and it's always so cold when I'm up at night...

[Spring had just started back home, and she's just so sad to hear time ruined her fun flower times here in Luceti.]

[voice]

[markofthewise]

You just have to know how to adapt! Anyway, I was here for the last winter in Luceti. It was pretty mild. [... at least, from what he's used to.]

[Voice]

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

That's too confusing, you know that?

[Voice]

[markofthewise]

What's confusing?

[He's going to try this written thing again with Sokka. Maybe it'll work this time.]

So just come over and get it?

[Voice]

[markofthewise]

[Nope.]

Yeah, before I go home anyway.

[After her little ... chat with Bern several days back, Takano's been getting fairly antsy in terms of arming herself. Now that she felt somewhat more comfortable in the village and understood her surroundings a bit more, she's decided to pop into the smithy to have a look around, maybe have a chat with whoever works there to see if she can get her hands on a pistol.

... However, some of these weapons just look ... fascinating. Not nearly as fascinating as she's sure the tools in the Furude shrine's "tool shed" are, but ... interesting enough. She'll be looking over some ornate daggers for the moment.]

[A BABE Oh, a customer. He watches her for a bit before walking on over, slowly, and gazing at the weapons.]

Nice stuff, huh? I made some of those myself.

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

There was a really big blizzard here last year... people got snowed in for days.

[Voice]

[markofthewise]

Yeah, actually, I was around for that.

[voice]

[stilldontgotit.livejournal.com]

I don't know. I wouldn't mind waiting a month or two.

[voice]

[markofthewise]

Two months? That would be January!

[boomchucka.livejournal.com]

I'd love to have a big old blizzard! Then all the real fun can begin!

[markofthewise]

Exactly! I think I'll make another snow fort this year. [Although now that Katara is here, she'll probably just show it up in like, all of two minutes. Meh.]

[voice]

[herotypical]

I wouldn't mind waiting a good long while for sincere snow. Me? I'm not a fan.

[voice]

[markofthewise]

I don't think you get a choice in the matter, Buffy.

[blessingone]

Sokka, don't curse it. The snow is going to come far too early as it is.

[markofthewise]

... this is not early, Fenimore. If anything, it should have been snowing for a long time now.

[flicker-flash.livejournal.com]

You made it.

[...urk. That's a complication.]

[markofthewise]

Yes. Out of iron and everything. [And you will like it.]

[Voice] hi this isn't late

[kyoshi]

From the look of things, plenty of us would be fine without snow for a while. I'm having trouble staying warm enough as it is.

[Voice]

[markofthewise]

I bet I could think of some ways to help you stay warm! [A pause.] Some thicker clothing, gloves, coat, boots... yeah. I guess you'll really have to go shopping, huh?
