markofthewise | Sokka the 62nd

{So Sokka is in a dilemma. Here he is, his usual lunch spot sitting on the stony edge of the fountain, eating his sandwich, when it occurs to him that he's had a ham-and-turkey--and-roast-beef-with-cheese-and-jalapeno sandwich for three week consecutively. And that's only because three weeks ago Hawky flew away with his sandwich before he could eat it. As he realizes he has little to no desire to finish this half eaten sandwich, he realizes his life needs a CHANGE. Something different. Exciting. A way to make his mundane existence in Luceti worthwhile again. Naturally he turns to the journals.]

Okay, so, I'm sick of eating the same old stuff for lunch. Sandwiches are great, really, but I've been eating them for a year now. I think I need more variety in my lunches. Any ideas? It can't be... complicated or anything. Believe it or not, cooking is not exactly my thing. So, anyone got any ideas that don't include visiting Seventh Heaven every day? Or the other restaurants, either. No offense to them, but... I dunno. No offense, either way.

{Unless it's for something special, Sokka just doesn't buy into making people work for him without recompensation.

He chews on his sandwich a bit more, then decides to add:]

Anybody like fishing? I mean... maybe not so much the net fishing. Just line fishing. Or spear fishing, I'm good with that too. It's actually been awhile since I caught my own dinner, now that I think about it.

[For you action folks, catch Sokka at his usual haunts. The smithy, around House 56, around the plaza, or beside the barracks, working on the lumber Moro provided into usable material for his boat. LOUD POWER TOOL SOUNDS, RAR HAR HAR.]

Fiiiine. I guess I'll stick around for your birthday thing.

[There's a hint of a grin there as he says it, but he's still acting like he's being put out here. Also, he's going to finally try and take a bite of this... thing.]

You do remember! ...Moron. Do you want me to beat you up?

['Cause that totally can be arranged.]

Of course I remembered. I've only had to figure out when your new birthday is in Luceti three times now. [It's not as fun as you think!]

[She still swings out a fist towards his arm.]

You better be getting me something awesome.

[Though he ends up rubbing where she hit him, it doesn't solicit his usual reaction. The problem with actually skipping ahead a year.]

I thought I'd get you a rock or something.

You already got me a space rock. How're you gonna one-up that one?

[Yes, a cool rock would be an acceptable present. But finding a cool rock by Toph standards? Easier said than done, my friend.]

I'll come up with something.

[He just has to sort of figure out what.]

So I take it you'll want to just invite everyone to your birthday, right?

That depends on what you mean by everyone. Everyone in the house? Sure. Everyone in Luceti? Not so much.

[She didn't need someone like Masaomi showing up at her birthday party, after all.]

Right. So who doesn't make the list? I can make sure to exclude them if I mention it.

Don't invite Masaomi. Even if Katara wants him to come. You probably shouldn't invite Jet, either.

Trust me, Jet's not getting an invitation. [... wait.]

Why would Kida even get one? [He's missing something here.]

I don't know. Maybe Katara would tell him to come. Or he'd just show up because he's a moron. Let's just make sure he doesn't hear about it, okay?

[Or she's bending him into a pretzel.]

... yeah, I don't hang out with him, so he won't hear it from me. [But why does Katara?]

[You'll have to ask Katara about that one. Toph doesn't understand it at all.]

Well, that's good. There's no one else I can think of for the black list.

Great. I'll be sure to let everyone know. [He says it sarcastically, but eh, he'll probably mention it to his innumerable lady friends.]

You better. It's gonna be awesome, you can count on that!

I'm sure it will. [Incidentally? Sokka has finished off that plate of food. He sets it aside.]

Thanks for the 'snack'. Can't say it went together all that great, though. [But Sokka will eat just about anything.]

But you still ate it. You know what that means, don't you? I'm gonna be making all your lunches from now on!

[...She needs a hobby besides earthbending, okay.]

... great. I reserve the right to not eat them.

[If only one of the girls who wasn't blind had decided to arranged to make his lunches.]

Fine, suit yourself. I'll enjoy my delicious lunches all by myself.

Uh huh. You do that. [He's going to his room now. ENJOY YOUR CULINARY MISTAKES.]
