Sokka the 53rd - [Action/Voice]

[markofthewise]

[Sokka is still out at the ocean, only with the Gaang and those Ferines ladies. It's a bit cold, but hell, it's the ocean and camping out in front of it is pretty awesome. Good thing he came crazy prepared for it. Except for, you know, a boat. So much for seafood. If for some reason you're in that vicinity, feel free to pester him. But as he gets a chance, he opens up the journal for catch up with people on the other side of the mountains.]

Well the ocean isn't going anywhere, I don't think. But it's not getting any bigger, so I guess Luceti won't be flooding. Good news? Now I just- [A lemur suddenly crowds the screen and Sokka has to shoo him off.] NO! Momo, the journal isn't for sitting on.

Yeesh.

Anyway! Now I just have some of my canoes over here... I wonder if that teleporter-building guy can get a new one out here or something? Or maybe if there was a railway over the mountains... or in the tunnels! Too bad there's no airships around here, that would make things easier. If Appa was still around, the trip back would be a lot easier...

So... how's things? Back in the village and stuff.

I've always felt craftsmen deserved their own holiday, personally.

I think I like this idea. How would we celebrate it, though?

[voice // filtered]

[markofthewise]

Well, obviously people will want to gift the craftsmen they know with nice stuff...

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

No, no, no! That doesn't sound right!

Maybe instead... a large party, but with a few stands or booths that have craftsmen teach people what kind of work goes into the items they pick up at the smithy?

You just made my holiday about us getting stuff into a holiday where we work even harder.

Are you even listening to yourself, Sokka?

Hey, there's nothing wrong with wanting to be appreciated!

[voice // filtered]

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

Which is exactly why I proposed the idea! If people knew the hard work that goes into making their weapons they'd be able to appreciate it much more!

[markofthewise]

I guess if you put it like that...

We could still include your gift giving I guess. It is a fake holiday.

[markofthewise]

Yeah... so it's a work in progress, right? Just have to find a convenient time... and some people to collaborate that it's real.

Are you going to ask Edward's opinion on it?

[voice // filtered]

[markofthewise]

We could. But if we really want it to work, people from our world have to be in on it too. If my sister says she's never heard of this holiday, it's all over right there.

I suppose I could get Al on it. And Elicia, too.

Suki will probably go with it. Katara will be the hard one. She'll probably yell at me about how horrible it is to diminish our important culture with made up holidays, how its dishonest, and how I should be ashamed at myself for trying to do something for my own benefit. About a forty second one, I'd say.

[voice // filtered]

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

Maybe I could talk to her about it for you?

[voice // filtered]

[markofthewise]

No, if you do it, then she could yell at me when I'm least expecting it. I'd rather have know when it's coming.

[See how seriously he takes Katara's big speeches?]

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

Does she really do it that often?

[voice // filtered]

[markofthewise]

Not as much as she used to. [THANK GOODNESS.]

[voice // filtered]

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

That... doesn't sound too good.

It's better than the old days, when she'd yell at me for stupid stuff. I barely even hear it anymore.

[voice // filtered]

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

I wonder that feels like.

[voice // filtered]

[markofthewise]

Kiiind of like what you do to me all the time?

Ding-ding!
