Sokka the 50th - [Action/Voice]

[markofthewise]

When do we start getting some real snow around here? I've seen a little here and there, but the stuff practically melts by the time it hits the ground! My real birthday is in November, but not, you know, the one it is in Luceti. I won't actually be, you know, seventeen this month. That's not the point. But back home, we have some pretty good

[Wow it snows that much where Sokka is from...? That's kinda cool. But then she happens to think of something. A trigger in her head, and therefore she must ask..!]

Are there penguins where you're from? [Do hear the baited breath here]

[Voice]

[markofthewise]

Yeah, we have penguins. In fact, we used to go penguin sledding when we were kids. Pretty fun. But for the record? They taste horrible.

[Voice]

[hazelrink]

[Briefly putting aside the horror of why would you ever eat a penguin, she instead focuses on that sledding part]

You can sled on penguins?!

[Because meat is meat. Even if sometimes you don't like it.]

Yeah, they don't even seem to mind it that much, either.

[rendingblade]

I could live without a blizzard. [Because it would keep her cooped up inside the house with nothing to do.]

[markofthewise]

Have you ever been in one? Anyway, it's not the blizzard that's any fun, true. It's afterward.

[rendingblade]

I have. Master, Chief and I hunted monsters in constantly frozen places. [... yes, that's when the cool monsters come out.] Why?

[markofthewise]

Okay, great. I used to do that too. [Not so much monsters, but...] But did you ever actually play in the snow?

[Finally deciding to swing by the smithy he had been told about, Terry looked over the building. He had seen some of this stuff in museums, archival vids, and bits stuffed away in the old man's database. He let his eyes move over the wall, seeing some of the work in progress and tools of the trade. Seeing a sword set on the wall, he couldn't help but grin. And I thought Curare had a fancy sword.] Schway.

[markofthewise]

[And there's Sokka watching him from behind. And yes, he actually is picking at his teeth with a spare sai.]

Sword, actually. But hey, you were close.

[schwayginnis]

[I really need to teach people newer slang, Terry thought as he turned to face the picking-tooth-with-sai person.] I take it you work here?

[markofthewise]

[He removes the sai and gives a nod at that.] I'm Sokka.

[barefoot_bender]

Speak for yourself, Sokka. I hope we don't get snow ever.

[voice]

[markofthewise]

Hey, it won't be that bad. Besides, this will be your first snow, right? [That she remembers, at least.]

[voice]

[barefoot_bender]

Yeah, but it'll be cold.

My feet will freeze. It's already hard to go out. [Didn't stop her from making a modern art piece of Kida.]

[voice]

[markofthewise]

Oh, yeah. I guess I'll have to make you some new boots, huh? I don't know what you did with the old ones back in the spring, when you were here before.

[Same Filter]

[its_troublesome]

Better late than never. I'll swing by in an hour to get them.

[Same Filter]

[markofthewise]

Take your time. I'll be here for awhile.

[Even doing just that he'll show up at the Smithy about when he said he would, a stack of this paper tucked under one arm. He's also wearing his flak jacket. Because he's not so eager about the cold weather as you are. 8|]

[Sokka, in the meantime, is still sleeveless. Not because he's immune to the cold, but because the smithy is a warm place regardless of the season.]

Hey Shikamaru. Or Shika... can I just use Shika?
