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.]

So you mean to say that you can clean up. From what I've seen, I was starting to think you were hopeless. [Not really, but.]

[markofthewise]

You just haven't seen me with another girl.

[... besides Shirley.]

[blessingone]

Except when you went on-- [And, being unaware that Sokka's girlfriend is in Luceti, she very nearly mentions it unfiltered, but then she decides to hold back on that for the sake of not embarrassing Shirley.] --that.

[markofthewise]

... uh yeah. That. Look, it's better you don't mention that. If Suki ever found out about that...

[blessingone]

Suki? [Could that be...?] Isn't your girlfriend back in your world?

[markofthewise]

Yes. Also the one who lives in the room next to mine.

[blessingone]

Oh, she's here! [Well, then, probably a good thing she didn't say anything.] So, she's not a figment of your imagination, then. [She doesn't actually mean that.]

[markofthewise]

No. No she's not. [Flatly. Kidding or not, he's had Jet insinuate he made Suki up. Why do people make him having a girlfriend sound so surprising?]

[blessingone]

[She giggles, but the giggles fade into an amused smile, which she holds silently for a few moments.] I'm glad. [The smile physically changes only a little, but it turns into something a little softer.] I'll bet you missed her a lot.

[markofthewise]

[... oh jeez. He can tell through the journal just what her reaction is.]

Hey, don't be getting all sappy over it!

[blessingone]

Hey, don't be rude! Is that the kind of response you should give to someone being nice to you? [Sap over.] Anyway, she's your girlfriend--if anyone gets sappy, it should be you!

[markofthewise]

She's been here months now. We moved past sappy awhile ago. [Like, one day after she showed up. They've been in makeout mode since.]

[blessingone]

[...Okay, that does make sense.] Do you want me to be happy for you or not? I can go back to making fun of you if you would prefer it.

[markofthewise]

[Hmmmm.]

Happy, please!
