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 know, I've done all of that other stuff, but not so much the skating.

We should go! And bring everybody we know to the lake too. It'll be fun!

[markofthewise]

We'd want to make sure the lake is frozen. You know, avoid the whole death by hypothermia scenario.

[boomchucka.livejournal.com]

For sure! The ice has to be pretty thick. Or I suppose if we could always build a rink.

[markofthewise]

Just ask my sister to do it. Probably wouldn't take her very long.

[boomchucka.livejournal.com]

That's an idea... But skating on the lake would be more fun.

[markofthewise]

If it's anything like last winter, they should be frozen enough by the middle of next month.

[boomchucka.livejournal.com]

Hee! So Sokka... snowball fight?

[markofthewise]

If you want to lose.

[boomchucka.livejournal.com]

What makes you think I'm gonna lose?

[markofthewise]

No offense, but I live in the snow. I've got a ton of experience.

[boomchucka.livejournal.com]

I grew up in the mountains and there's lots of snow there too.

[markofthewise]

Yeah? We'll see. [He's still pretty sure that in a match involving no special powers, he has the advantage.]

[boomchucka.livejournal.com]

You're on, Sokka. [Selphie's pretty resourceful when she needs to be. Beating the pants off Sokka might qualify as one of those times.]

[markofthewise]

The loser has to make the hot cocoa afterward.

[boomchucka.livejournal.com]

It's a deal!

[markofthewise]

Just don't forget the marshmallows.

[boomchucka.livejournal.com]

And you better not forget the whipped cream!

[markofthewise]

I'll be expecting some kind of snack too. Cookies should work.

[boomchucka.livejournal.com]

You make it sound like you're going to win when it's anybody's game.

[markofthewise]

I find it's right to go into a battle with the right idea. You don't make a strategy planning to lose.

[boomchucka.livejournal.com]

Well obviously not, but it's just a snowball fight. It's not like we're going to war or anything.

[markofthewise]

Yeah, of course. No war. [Or is it?]

[boomchucka.livejournal.com]

I'm glad we agree. [It better not be or there's gonna be some butt whooping.]
