Birthday Parties!

[markofthewise]

Who: Katara, Nami, Roku (and everyone else!)
What: Birthday parties!
When: July 4th (a smidge backdated)
Where: The riverside, south of the village
Summary: After several birthdays had passed, a birthday PARTY is arranged for those who missed theirs. At the river!
Rating: PG?

[With the help of Toph and Roku (and possibly others), the party had been set up south of the village. There were cakes, party tables, and seats out for everyone. It wasn't really a traditional Water Tribe party by any means, because it was meant for more than one person, after all. But it was by the river and swimming opportunities there. Sokka even set up a net and poles for volleyball. Nami and Roku knew to be there, but of course, Sokka has to get here there still...]

((ooc: Open comment spam! Threadjack as you will people. Anyone who are friends with the three birthday peeps are free to come and do as they like.))

[He thinks about that for a second.]

When I first started working at the smithy, Elisa introduced me to sandwiches. But not just regular bread and meat. She put a spicy vegetable called jalapenos on it. I didn't think they were that great at first, now I pretty much each them every day I'm at the smithy.

[It's kind of a sentimental thing. And he just likes them.]

... Yuber is one of the Big Bads in Luceti. He dresses in black, blond hair, ponytail... can makes swords appear from nowhere. He's killed people before.

Right, right. [And now back to the food...! Okay, picking up this and this and this and putting it on a plate]

[oda-hates-me.livejournal.com]

War we could all do without, but I wouldn't trade hard work for easy comforts either. [he's really just musing to himself now]

We wouldn't be us, otherwise.

[markofthebrave]

Heh. Yeah. [Something about that reminds her of Zuko, so she tucks her knees up to her chest and dips under the water before rising up and wringing out her hair.]

It's still nice to think that there could be a place like that, though.

[markofthebrave]

[She watches him pick the food up like it's some sort of duty and can't help but feel a little bit bemused.]

The cake's good too. You should try that.

[mydearapple.livejournal.com]

Who knows? I wouldn't go swimming in that water. [...which is a lie, because he already has.] But better safe than sorry, right?

[oda-hates-me.livejournal.com]

If there is, I wouldn't mind a visit.

[ . . . ]

Maybe we should go swimming in it together then.

...Oh, okay.

[She frowns at that and turns back to her food. She takes one bite and finds that it's not really as tasty as it was before. So there's people like that here too, huh? Well, she knew that, but she had tried to avoid that topic...]

Thanks for telling me.

[god-is-a-dude.livejournal.com]

Oii! Oi! Let me eat my first meal first! [This is said as he goes out and takes a first bite, still standing like. And... swallow] But I'll look into that in a bit, yeah.

[mydearapple.livejournal.com]

Uh... You sure about that? If there were monsters, I'm not exactly the first person you'd call for help.

[hazelrink.livejournal.com]

But if you're facing a fear, it's better to do it with someone else, right? Sokka and other people strong are here, it'll be fine.

[Her voice got serious and oddly motherly there for a moment. How's that, Caesar?]

[markofthewise]

[Sokka has the oddest sensation of feeling guilty.]

-anyway! The important thing is that you're fine, right? So no worries.

[hazelrink.livejournal.com]

Mhm~ Adell came and saved me. [She smiles more broadly and honestly like at that]

[mydearapple.livejournal.com]

[For some reason, he's having a hard time just saying, "No." Maybe that's because another thought just occurred to him-]

Wait, you mean we're going swimming now?

[hazelrink.livejournal.com]

Why not? [Ignoring that she, at least, is in clothes and not any type of swimwear. And it's a party. And she's got food]

[markofthewise]

Yeah. Adell's pretty good at that kind of thing.

[mydearapple.livejournal.com]

Correct me if I'm wrong - and I don't think I am - but... you don't quite look prepared to go swimming at the moment.

[hazelrink.livejournal.com]

Mmhm~ He's one of the best at at it.

[hazelrink.livejournal.com]

Yes I am. [JEEZ IT'S JUST WATER]

[mydearapple.livejournal.com]

[THIS BOY JUST ISN'T MENTALLY PREPARED FOR WHAT HE'S ABOUT TO SEE, OKAY. Also, not as planned. He thought he was going to make a quick escape.]

Uh... All right. But you've got food. It's bad for you to go swimming right after you eat, or something like that.
