Sokka the 15th - [Voice/Action]

[markofthewise]

[Filtered 90% to the Strawhats, the Gaang, Nash, and Vash.]

Alright, it's that time. Be here today, lunchtime. Feel free to bring bring food, if you like.

If you have a special friend that you really think should be here, then drag them along too.

[And that's all Sokka is saying. Everyone invited will likely know this isn't some pitch-in lunch (well, it is kinda) but actually a SEEKRET MEETING to discuss the three main threats and the trap Sokka has been planning. Also that special friends are meant to be those who really should hear this and could be useful to the mission. Not boyfriends. He's talking about you Katara.

Whenever they arrive, the front room will have been set up with multiple chairs and the couches arranged in a circle, all directed to the back of the room where an easel with charts is set up.]

((ooc: For ease of things, Sokka will lay out his plan all at once and have questions and discussion afterwards. Due to the number of people present, threadhopping, threadjacking, and threadbranching is fine. Feel free to mingle outside of the main Plan thread. Bring a snack!))

[he switches into chef!mode while he eats, noting off the flavors, ingredients, how they were put together... though at last he smiles, seeming to be pleased for whatever reason]

It tastes like you know what you're doing. Have you been cooking for a long time?

[markofthebrave]

A little while. [Nearly as long as she can remember.] There were a lot of mouths to feed back home. My Gran-Gran needed all the help she could get, and then... [she trails off, shrugging] I guess it just became my responsibility.

I take it your brother didn't pick up much slack. [disapproving froooooooown]

[Fed up with her brother as she currently is, Sokka is still family and about to make a presentation. She's not going to let anyone else talk seriously badly about him or say anything that will undermine him, even if a small part of her privately agrees.]

Sokka had other responsibilities. After Dad left with the other men of our tribe to fight in the war, he was the oldest man left. He took protecting us very seriously. [Even if it meant drilling four-to-six year olds and playing in the snow building a watch tower while she had to do chores.] And he had to do a lot of the hunting.

[Sanji mulls over that silently. He knows nothing about their culture and so can't formulate opinions, but Katara would know her brother better than him]

Is that why he's the "plan guy" then?

[markofthebrave]

No, he's the plan guy because he's Sokka. [Half-shrug] He takes after our dad like that.
