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.

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.]

Only three months. I'm kind of used to having it practically year round.

[voice]

While I'm used to it being hot year round. That's why I don't care for long winters.

[voice]

[markofthewise]

But that isn't even long! Six months would be long.

[voice]

[stilldontgotit.livejournal.com]

Maybe, but like I said, I prefer heat.

[voice]

[markofthewise]

Well, three months of summer and three months of winter seem fair to me, don't you think?

[voice]

[stilldontgotit.livejournal.com]

Fair enough.

[You win for now, Sokka.]

Guess I'll just have to stock up on warm clothes.

[voice]

[markofthewise]

Yeeah, better do it now before everyone else does it. The store will be a super busy place if you wait until the first real snow.

[voice]

[stilldontgotit.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'm not about to slack off just because there's not much snow yet.

[voice]

[markofthewise]

Be sure to get some good boots, too. Those make all the difference.

[voice]

[stilldontgotit.livejournal.com]

Got it. Boots, probably some thicker gloves. You think earmuffs and a scarf are worth it?

[voice]

[markofthewise]

Grab them anyway. A big snow storm kicks in and you'll be wishing you had them.

[voice]

[stilldontgotit.livejournal.com]

Yeah, no kidding. It'll probably be a good idea to stock up on blankets, too. Hopefully there won't be another blizzard, but we'll see.

[voice]

[markofthewise]

That was barely even a blizzard anyway.

[voice]

[stilldontgotit.livejournal.com]

Let me guess: You've seen worse.

[voice]

[markofthewise]

And longer! I mean, the one we had was still dangerous... but it wasn't a week long or anything.

[voice]

[stilldontgotit.livejournal.com]

Don't jinx it, Sokka. You might give them ideas.

[voice]

[markofthewise]

Too late for that now.

[voice]

[stilldontgotit.livejournal.com]

Well, I know who to blame if we end up with a week long snowstorm.

[voice]

[markofthewise]

Catherine?

[voice]

[stilldontgotit.livejournal.com]

... Catherine?

[Pffffff.]

You mean that blue guy, right?

[voice]

[markofthewise]

Well that is his name.

[voice]

[stilldontgotit.livejournal.com]

Weird name for a guy.

[voice]

[markofthewise]

Well he is a weird guy.

[voice]

[stilldontgotit.livejournal.com]

Weird and eccentric.

[voice]

[markofthewise]

And possibly evil and smarter than he acts.
