markofthewise | 66th: The Party Planning of Sokka Thunderaxe

[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.))

[Sokka knows loss. It's not easy and he's went through it a few times, even in Luceti. When Mayoi went home, it was basically her death. But it's hard to provide some kind of common ground when he doesn't know if Haruhi has one.]

I'm sorry. He was a really great guy.

[Winry nods. Mr. Hughes was a phenomenal guy. When he was around she felt like she had regained a little bit of what she lost in her childhood. But he's gone again, and has taken that with him.]

[Silence that he isn't sure how to fill. The muffins were a bad idea. He can't bring himself to consider them or the milk. Sigh.]

[She reaches over to take a muffing, and breaks a piece of the top off to put it in to her mouth.]

[Oh. Well there we go then. Sokka does much of the same. Except maybe a bigger piece to stuff in his mouth, which doesn't all quite fit. He forgets to eat like Haruhi and not like Sokka.]

...Are you trying to choke yourself with that?

[He looks up and tries to swallow it down quickly.]

I'm just hungry...?

That piece was almost too big for your mouth.

[He washes it down with some milk.]

I missed breakfast.

Yeah, me too. [She doesn't feel compelled to say anymore. Instead she breaks off another piece of that muffing to eat.]

[Yup... He goes for a smaller bite this time. Man, he just wishes he knew what Haruhi would say. He should have talked to her first before coming over. Maybe a hug or something, when they're done. He can manage that, at least.]

[She takes a sip of her milk.] Thanks for coming over.

[A small smile.]

Hey, don't mention it. I mean, what are [urgh] girlfriends for?

[She nods silently, but can't help but think Haruhi is acting less like a girlfriend and more like a "girl friend."]

Yeah, you're the best.

[Well he's doing his best! Jeez.]

So are you.
