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.]

Well, I'm not here to talk about blunt force trauma.

[Action]

[markofthewise]

Yeah, so what do you want?

[Action]

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

Something I'm probably not going to get.

Really? That's a shame. [Seriously Winry. Ask his sister. It would be so much easier.]

What's a shame is a girl can never get a break around here. Can't celebrate something special with her best friend, even.

[Oh ho! That. Now he's remembering.]

You came all the way here for that?

[Action]

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

Never mind, I'll just go back. You won't tell me anyway.

[markofthewise]

I know, I know. I'm a terrible person. [A pause.] If only that other Sokka was around. You know how talkative he is.

You know you're really horrible some times!

[... what, really? Is she actually crying?]

... Winry?

I can't believe you! I just wanted to do something nice!

[Action]

[markofthewise]

[This is so not cool!] You can do something nice for me anytime!

B-but a birthday is special! How can you deny your friends the chance to celebrate you're alive and around to keep them company?

[Action]

[markofthewise]

I'm not! It's not like it's even my real birthday. My real one is in four months. This isn't my world, so what should it matter to me what the date is?

[Action]

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

Now you're just making up excuses!

[markofthewise]

It's not an excuse!

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

It is so!

[markofthewise]

Fine... FINE! I'll tell you! [Women! Argh!]

Y-you will?

[You sneaky, conniving little...]

It's the seventeenth. But it's not a big deal. Really.

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

That's great! Thank you!

[... he's starting to suspect he's just been played.]

... you're welcome.
