Sokka the 64th - [ Action/Video]

[Video]

[Well, there it stands in all its glory. Sokka has the journal camera facing away from him, showing off his new boat, that looks like this (or like this when full mast), sitting out in the water. For a lack of other vessels, two canoes are hoisted and secured on either side, those being the Aila and Maza respectively. On both sides of the ship is painted something like this (only less lazy and technically saying '海洋精神' but this is Luceti okay). After getting a good view of the waves crashing on it, Sokka turns the journal back around to himself.]

So there it is, The Ocean Spirit, it's finally finished. All thanks to Brave Vesperia and other people. So... yeah, thanks everyone. Good job. We'll have its maiden voyage soon. Speaking of which - Hey Toph, you mind coming out here and making a dock? It would be... well, a lot more convenient.

Anybody who wants to come out and check it out, just use the teleporter in the barracks. I'll be out here on the beach for awhile.

[END transmission. He'll be there for most of the day, until the evening when he heads home for the usual dinner time.]

((ooc: To everyone who volunteered their characters for this, including BV people... sorry I didn't get this more organized oocly. In any case, feel free to assume any tasks your characters might have done during the construction. It was a group effort!))

That just means your opinion will be fresh and unbiased.

[In that case, he'll just be poking around for something that would look good on Buffy. He's actually putting more thought into this than one would expect.]

[ she plucks a little red dress from a shelf and holds it up against herself. wrinkling her nose. ]

Like I said, nothing too flash... [ this is clearly the reason she rejects this first option. ] Don't want to upstage Dawnie.

Right, too bright. Especially if you don't wanna draw attention to yourself.

[He's going to pluck a dress out. His first instinct is to go with something blue. There's no telling how this got here. Maybe something that was supposed to be in the clothing store.]

Maybe something like this? Or maybe the sleeves are too much. [On the plus side? It's actually her size.]

[ buffy eyes the dress. she's seen something very similar to it -- back when uhura was still here. but hers had been in red. ]

Somehow, I don't think it goes with my twenty-first century me. [ her smile is just a little too knowing, perhaps. but the novelty is appealing and so she reaches out for it holds this new dress up against herself. ] Blue. Blue for medical. And science. I think that's right.

[He doesn't quite make the medical and science connection. But hey, if she likes it, score one for Sokka.]

I was thinking more 'Water Tribe', but science is also good.

It's a uniform. Not exactly party material. Not unless it was a costume party. Which it isn't. But I'm thinking I might have to stash it away for the next one.

Not much of a uniform, if you ask me. [What kind of uniform is a dress? That doesn't seem practical at all. At least not a dress that short.

Well, he'll go back to looking then.]

...The hemline is a little extra -- uhm -- north. But sometimes that's the style.

If you say so. Does that mean blue's out?

...I think Dawnie's called dibs on blue.

[He considers black, but that seems too morbid for a birthday affair. He considers for a bit, then moves down several dresses and turns around with this with a thoughtful expression. Although several feet from her, he holds it away from himself as if trying to picture Buffy in it.]

... yeah, this could work.

[ she takes a moment to consider the article before smiling. ]

...By Jove, I think he's got it. Lemme go try it on? [ she reaches out for the dress. ]

Take your time, I'll wait here. [Handing it over then finding a nice spot to lean. Incidentally, it's just her size. Which she's never told him before.]

[ it doesn't take her long. soon, she is whirling out from behind the curtain with a rather pleased-as-punch smile on her face. ]

...Huh. Perfect fit. You've got some good eyes on you.

[Oh. That. He did that, didn't he. Awkward.]

Lucky guess?

[ she frees her hair from where it was caught under the halter top ties of the dress and eyes herself up in the mirror. a little critical but mostly happy. ]

Ever consider a career as a personal shopper? I mean, with lucky guesses like that...

No, no I have not. I think making weapons is kind of my calling.

[He's glad she's busy with the mirror because he's turning away to hide his red cheeks. He can't believe he actually did that.]

[ buffy seems far less bothered by what has happened. that's a damn fine skill there, sokka. she's impressed.

and this dress! well. ]

I think it's perfect, by the way. [ the joking tone drains from her voice. only gratitude is left.

jack sparrow, she suspects, will be left speechless. ]

[Gosh Buffy, all he did was pick you out a dress, it's not like this is your wedding dress.]

Well... good? I'm glad.

[ it's her first public appearance as the girl who owns up to dating jack sparrow and no longer tries to keep it a secret. it might as well be a ceremony.

th-though the actual w-word would send both of them into cold sweats. how do you manage it, sokka? ]

Where'd you get such good taste, huh?

[Because in a strange, crazy sort of way... Sokka is probably more mature than they are.]

Oh, you know, it just comes naturally to me. Water Tribe sensibility and all that.

[ or at least hasn't seen as many marriages crash and burn and break and implode. ]

Okay -- maybe -- if I was picking out a swimsuit. [ but she doesn't press the matter. ]

This dress. Those...those black pumps. [ she points out the pair she took over from the other shop. ] Can you pass'em?

[Nope, he's spent more time watching women become widows instead.]

You think they'll match? [Well, he'll bring them over anyway.]

[ neither of them would want to figure out which is worse; they're both terrible concepts. ]

Their unmatchiness is a kind of matching, Sokka. You'll see.

[ she reaches for one of the shoes and hops on one foot while she wedges it on. ]
