Sokka the 54th - [Voice/Action]

[markofthewise]

[Sokka's day will involve a few things. One of them won't include shoveling all the snow out of the way of his house. It's not that he's lazy, but when his sister can take care of that in less than a minute, why even bother? Later his day will involve working on important things at the smithy, like the metal casing for a certain teleporter. And maybe some weapons or the key-shaped variety. Or helping New Feathers find their weapons so they can go about being dangerous. He'll also do lunch in the plaza... maybe do some shopping.

But why dwell on the bad parts? Before his kidnapping, Sokka is available for running into. Also, in light of the fact the snow is coming down pretty hardcore today and is, frankly, almost a blizzard, he feels inclined to make a voice post in the middle of the day.]

You know, we had that big blizzard about the same time last year. Well, not big big. I've seen bigger. But we had a lot of people get stranded out in that stuff. Actually, I met a lot of people being stranded at the Straw Hat's place... Uh, anyway. Yeah, blizzards. Bad stuff. Better make sure you got a lot of food at home, just in case.

[Hours later, on his way home, he'll meet some delightful metal men who will proceed to knock him out and drag him off, being nice enough to leave his sword and boomerang in the snow.]

Maybe they should grab a shovel for good measure.

[You know, on the off chance they get snowed in.]

[Voice / Action]

[kyoshi]

A blizzard? I've never seen one before. Is it really that-

[And here she trails off, because while she's walking along on her way home, she spots a familiar glint in the snow. Sure enough, it's Sokka's sword and boomerang; anyone who knows Sokka knows he wouldn't just leave them lying there. So that means...

...again?

With a pensive look and a silent sigh, Suki crouches down, collecting his gear and continuing home to deliver the bad news.]

Now that I know this place better I could easily get food for those who need it if one does come. I'm more concerned that New Feathers arrived even during that. [She should know, since she was one of them.]

[count-gardios.livejournal.com]

That's good advice. I should stock up.

[voice]

[markofthewise]

A big one.

[Although really. How many people in Luceti even need a shovel?]

[Voice]

[markofthewise]

[Oh, you teleporters!]

Yeah, didn't you show up in the middle of that blizzard?

[markofthewise]

It does beat trekking through a blizzard if you get hungry. But hey! At least this year, we have electric heat!

[Voice]

[oracleofdeath.livejournal.com]

Yes I did and while I could have gone somewhere during that, I need to know where to go first. [Or make a really good guess based off a person's location like she did when she arrived, she was lucky not to end up in a wall with that.]

[voice]

[stilldontgotit.livejournal.com]

Right. That would make shoveling snow easier.

You really think we'll get hit with another blizzard?

[no-use-running.livejournal.com]

Blizzards should be alright as long as we're prepared. I heard about a welcome center. Can we use it to gather and distribute supplies, too?

[Voice]

[eidolon-soul.livejournal.com]

All the more reason to stock up at the Welcome Center, then. I hope it doesn't happen while the cycle's still in progress, but I wouldn't put it past this place.

[doubleppk]

Walking through snow's not that bad.

[markofthewise]

No, but walking through a lot of it can kill you.

[voice]

[markofthewise]

Well, this place is no South Pole, but it does have the potential to happen again. I wouldn't risk there not being a blizzard.

[Voice]

[markofthewise]

Yeah... lucky you, ending up in a big, crazy house, huh?

[markofthewise]

While it couldn't hurt, it's better if people are just responsible enough to be ready on their own. [You know... like it is at home.]

[doubleppk]

Only if you're clueless.

[Voice]

[markofthewise]

Well, it did last time. So if the Malnosso control the weather, I don't think they really care.

[markofthewise]

No, even if you're not clueless, it can still kill you. Trust me.

[no-use-running.livejournal.com]

Shouldn't everyone have help if they need it?

[Voice]

[oracleofdeath.livejournal.com]

I'm sure there were far worse places to end up. At least if we get snowed in this year I can go get food for them.

[markofthewise]

Of course! But if people are smart enough to plan ahead, they won't need it.

[Voice]

[markofthewise]

I guess so. I don't think Sanji is the type to ever be understocked.

[Voice]

[oracleofdeath.livejournal.com]

Probably not, but one can never know how long it would last either.

[doubleppk]

Che~

I disagree.

[But then, this is the woman who went camping in a freaking tent in subzero temperatures in the Mount Fuji range just to try to find some wolves.]
