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.))

I don't think it's your face.

[He knows where this is going.]

You just said we're even.

[A few strands of hair are still loose and end up on his forehead instead.]

I... could have done that myself. I kind of do that every morning, you know.

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

But you took it out. It was weird.

[markofthewise]

... right. [He reaches back and pulls it off.] That's weird, Winry.

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

How is it weird?

[markofthewise]

I'm wet. Who cares what my hair looks like?

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

It's not my fault you look weird without that silly ponytail!

[markofthewise]

It's not a ponytail!

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

Yes it is!

[markofthewise]

No. It's not. See, a ponytail is longer and lower. What I have is a Warrior's Wolf Tail worn by men of the Water Tribe.

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

So it's a fancy name for a short ponytail.

[markofthewise]

Nooooo. It's a symbol of my cultural heritage. And I feel vaguely insulted by your lack of understanding.

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

Where's the birthday girl?

[markofthewise]

Uh. [He stands up higher in the water. Looks like she's not in the water at the moment.]

Looks like she's talking to people.

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

Why don't we go talk to her, too?

[markofthewise]

Uh, sure. [Why does he gotta goooo? Oh well. He follows her out of the water, stubborn letting his wet hair remain down. See how she likes it.]

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

You don't think she'll mind that I came?

[markofthewise]

It's not like you came for the free cake or anything. Why would she mind? [In fact, they're coming behind Katara now. So he just taps her on the shoulder.]

1/2

[markofthebrave]

[And Katara turns from whatever conversation she's having to look over her shoulder.] Oh?

[markofthebrave]

Hey, Winry! I'm glad you made it.

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

I am too! Happy Birthday, Katara.

[markofthewise]

[Sokka just stands to the side and grins.] What Winry said.

[markofthebrave]

Aww, thanks! [She shoots Sokka a mock-glare] Although it's still weird.

Did you guys get something to eat already?
