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.]

You... you, wait what?

[memoryboxes]

A mushi! It's called a Kagedama, and it survives by eating my memories.

[Yup! :D]

[markofthewise]

... are these the kind of mushi that Ginko deals with? [If so, why is he not fixing it?]

[memoryboxes]

That's right! Ginko's the one that diagnosed me a while back.

[markofthewise]

Can't he fix it?

[memoryboxes]

I'm afraid not—it's a type that's incurable. But fortunately I can maintain it enough not to forget the things most important to me.

[markofthewise]

Wow, that's... sorry. As long as you remember the stuff that matters...

[memoryboxes]

I'm going to do my best! I definitely can't give up just because I've gotten a little change in scenery!

[markofthewise]

Right, yeah. That's the spirit. [Or something. Getting all excited about these things isn't his shtick.] And maybe someone else can find a way to fix it.

[memoryboxes]

I certainly won't deny there's a chance for anything!

Ah—if I forget who you are, will you do me a big favor and just direct me to this page here? I'll try my best to keep everything in my head, from day to day.

[markofthewise]

[... to be so easily forgotten.]

Uh, yeah. Sure. I'll just make sure to mark this page.

[memoryboxes]

[a soft smile]

I don't want to lose any of these wonderful memories, so I'll just have to take this one step at a time; I'm glad knowing I can at least look back at the ones I may forget.

[markofthewise]

Yeah, I guess... the journals are handy for that. Maybe you should start numbering the pages and make some kind of index for yourself. You know, so you can find stuff faster.

[memoryboxes]

What a good idea—thank you, Sokka-san. I'll be sure to do just that.

[markofthewise]

Good ideas is just kind of my thing.

[memoryboxes]

Then if I ever get in a rut, I'll make sure to write you. [Half-joking, more than likely. |D]

[markofthewise]

[He hopes so.] If you make a habit of it, I might need to charge.
