66th: The Party Planning of Sokka Thunderaxe

[markofthewise]

[Well, Sokka's in it deep now. After being forced to 'cover' for Haruhi in the Brigade, he went and made up some stupid party and now he needs to go public with it. Which... yeah, he is so not into doing. So, deep breath as he composes himself.]

Attention everyone! This is Haruhi Suzumiya, Chief of the SOS Brigade. [Okay, name and title down. He's got that. Now for the announcement.] As you should all be aware, the Autumn Equinox is September 23rd, that's eight days from now. It's also conveniently on a Friday as well. Which means we will be having a party for that. Although, technically, it might not really be the equinox. Different worlds, different planetary cycles, but that's not important. [It's getting too much into Sokka-esque technicalities] There's going to be a fall party, right in the plaza.

We will, of course, provide food and fireworks to make things interesting. If anyone wants to provide other entertainment like, say, music... have at it. The party will start at nine in the evening. Brigade members, you all know what to do! Failure to do your part will result in steep penalties all around.

[Aaaaand this is the part he hates most, but he knows it's inevitable.]

Also! We're recruiting. If you want to join the Brigade, contact me for an interview and can be... interviewed. If you like the idea of parties and other time wasting nonsense, this is probably the club for you.

[THERE IT IS DONE. Sokka will be sitting in the Brigade headquarters, after the meeting, to answer all these questions and generally hate his life. Later he'll hit up the grocery store to take some stuff 'home' for dinner. (And if that's not enough to work with, come up with something and we will MAKE IT WORK.)]

((OOC: Okay, just like last time, this is still a body swap plot! It involves some of Haruhi's reality bending powers, so it's not an experiment/Mallynapping thing. For those of you new here, it's all explained here. Replies will come from wisebent.))

"Time wasting nonsense," hm. Creative pitch.

[wisebent.livejournal.com]

It gets the job done.

[minimonsterdad.livejournal.com]

And yet you must have standards, if there's an interview.

[wisebent.livejournal.com]

Well we can't waste our time if someone is around ruining it for us.

[minimonsterdad.livejournal.com]

But it's a fast way to waste time, dealing with people ruining your wasted time.

[wisebent.livejournal.com]

Well we like it to be enjoyable. Kind of like how this conversation isn't.

[minimonsterdad.livejournal.com]

Did I offend you?

[wise-bent.livejournal.com]

Not exactly, but nitpicking can be rude. Just saying.

[minimonsterdad.livejournal.com]

Fine, fine. Then tell me about this SOS Brigade of yours. Saving Our Ship with parties is the premise?

[wise-bent.livejournal.com]

No, it's not like that. Our goal is to just... keep things from getting dull. Which we accomplish by parties. Or other fun events. Like casinos. Or teleporters to exciting places. And so on.

[minimonsterdad.livejournal.com]

An admirable effort, if possibly misplaced. You really think it gets dull around here?

[wise-bent.livejournal.com]

How long have you been here?

[minimonsterdad.livejournal.com]

About five months now.

[wise-bent.livejournal.com]

Once you're here for a year, you might find parties a welcome distraction.

[minimonsterdad.livejournal.com]

Probably not. That's too much energy for me. I find a good book more soothing, personally.

[wise-bent.livejournal.com]

Well whatever, to each their own.
