markofthewise | Sokka the 58th

[One day before his second draft. Also his second birthday in Luceti. Funny how things work out. Not that he's thinking much about the second part. He's aware of the fact he's seventeen now, but there's more important stuff to attend to today.

First on his agenda? He has 'presents' for Suki and Katara. Although they're not really typical presents. Just new weapons to help them out in the battle. He may have been saving them for a later occasion, but there's no point in that now. After his morning workout (whether it's with Master Souji or on his own), he'll have to go tracking the two of them down to make the delivery. After that, he'll also be tracking down Haruhi, most likely to her house, to deliver a certain bird into her care.

Since he's neglected it for the past week, he'll spend most of the day at the smithy. No doubt a lot of people are going to want to drop in and want to get their weapons sharpened before the big battle. He can't let Ed have all the fun, right?

At some point during the day, he decides to try and keep things light (yet slightly morbid) with a question for the journals.]

So, I guess tomorrow we get to find out if the meat we eat is also the talking kind too. Anyone have any messages they want me to pass on to next week's steak dinner?

Hmmmm... just give it a good whack so it's nice and tender? [Food is food and Selphie's eaten worse.]

And be safe out there.

Actually, I think our job is to prevent those TP guys from doing that.

And uh, thanks. I will.

So tell them that the steak is ours and they can't have it and give 'em a good beatdown for me too.

Good!

[ buffy slips through the door of the smithy with quiet determination on her face. business-face. her scythe is (as ever) casually over her shoulder. ]

[HORROR. They wouldn't... would they?]

They wouldn't make us eat talking animals, would they?

[Thricedammit, he may well turn vegetarian after this.]

((OOC: ...Consider this an official mod question XD Do the livestock talk?))

Sure, I'll try to tell them that as politely as I can.

[Sokka is busy assembling what looks like bombs. He plans to use ones supplied by the Malnosso, so he doesn't have to waste his own, but better to be prepared and not put too much trust in the Mallies. He doesn't notice her come in.]

They don't make us eat any of the food here. People just seem to think it's somehow different than the meat you get by hunting in here.

((ooc: They will not talk.))

Hi, Sokka.

[ she aims for pleasant and doesn't fall too short of the mark; after all, the last week hasn't been all bad. just mostly. ]

[A glance back and then a nod.]

Hey. You need something worked on?

I don't hunt here, but I thought that the stuff from outside was different... [And if it's not, that's a horrible idea. Poor animals!]

((OOC: Thank god, Link's sanity can be preserved XD Thanks!))

My little friend here needs some spiffing up.

[ she presents the scythe. it is in pretty good shape -- buffy has long been the sharpener of her own weapons -- but there is something to be said for depending on your comrades. ]

Why would it be? I hunt here because I don't know how different it is. [Although he just hunts for his own satisfaction. He eats the meat here anyway.]

[Oh, her scythe. He takes it and takes a look at the blade. Yeah, it is kind of getting a bit dull, isn't it?]

Yeah, I can tell. [But he nods.] I can drop it off at your place once I'm done.

I know it probably goes without saying, but...careful with her, okay? [ normally it would bug her to see the slayer scythe in someone else's hands, here...but sokka is like an honourary member. if she is going to trust anyone with the weapon's care, it would be him. ] The terms one of a kind and older than the written word both apply here.

It doesn't look that old. [Old weapons should be ancient looking, dull, falling apart, and otherwise useless. That's just how logic works.]

It moisturizes. I hear that's how you survive loads and loads of birthdays.

[ see what she did there, sokka? ]

[... no, not really. She just gets a blank look.]

Uh... I guess?

[ a pause. ] I don't actually moisturize my scythe, you know. It was a joke. And a segue. [ a deep breath. ] Happy birthday?

[Blink blink. It takes a second but then...]

Oh. Oh! Right. Uh, thanks. [Sheepish smile.] Pretty good timing, huh?

Fairly good. I mean -- look at your party's guest list.

... yeah. I guess it gives me something to think about.

[He's not really too thrilled about turning seventeen here.]

I've been charged with giving you a birthday hug. We can get it out of the way now or just pretend it happened and back up each other's lies?

[Yeah pretty much her house. She's still not going out this week - not until the day of the draft, pretty much - so she's going to be here. To be fair, she is expecting Sokka though... and trying to think about what to do with Katara's message. She's had a few ideas, but. Well she's not hugging him, that's for sure.

So yeah basically waiting on the knock.

What? Birthday hug? Who told you to do that!?

[Okay, his two top suspects are Winry and Katara. Suki would never be so cruel.]
