Who: Anyone attending Nami's birthday party. /o/
What: ...Nami's birthday party. 8|
When: Evening on the 4th July.
Where: The mikan orchard.
Summary: An impromptu last minute stubborn celebration of something that's fun.
Rating: ...P for pinwheels? 8|a


[Tis a mingling post. Mingle!  Seriously. The orchard's lit up, there is alcohol, there are snacks, there are mikan. There's also piles of coloured paper for much later, but that's another story. 

Backtag to your heart's content. We apologise for contributing to the glut of birthday posts that is early July. |D Popular month!]

"Oops, that experiment made me a jerk." [He shrugs. It's kind of a neutral criticism at this point.] But don't worry about it.

[failazure]

[Well, there's Noel. Worrier extraordinaire. Want her to say those words? She could! ...but okay, he's dropping it, it seems.]

Okay. I'll try. [...] Still, friends for that long... there's still a lot I don't know about Nami. You'd think that in those two years, I would have already seen you.

[markofthewise]

Yeah. [A pause as he studies her for a moment. HMMMMM.] I guess you must not get out much.

[failazure]

[!!!!]

How did you know?

[markofthewise]

... lucky guess.

[failazure]

[.....oh.

---djfhdkjgfjdsgl]

I-I still get out! Maybe not as much as some people, but I do!

[markofthewise]

[Whatever, Noel. Whatever. Be a hermit.]

Well, you should do it more. Especially after two years.

[failazure]

I'm here now, aren't I? [WHAT NOWWWW.]

[markofthewise]

Yeah, but this is the middle of a forest. Orchard. Thing. It doesn't really count.

[failazure]

Why wouldn't it count? It's a party, right? [...] A-And besides, you say that like this whole village isn't surrounded by a forest!

[markofthewise]

Because! If I wasn't Nami's friend, I wouldn't have seen you. I wouldn't have a reason to be out here otherwise.

[failazure]

[...sob.]

There's always, uh... other opportunities?

[markofthewise]

Yeah. [A pause.] Tomorrow is my sister's birthday. It's on the beach. Which is a little more social than this. You should come to that.

[failazure]

[The sad thing is that SHE WON'T because REASONS or maybe she will we'll see]

Your sister? [...] Your sister is here, too, Sokka?

[markofthewise]

[YOU BETTER!!]

Yeah. Katara. She and Nami are really close.

1/2

[failazure]

Katara... that's another name I haven't heard. [To think he has family here, too!! It kind of makes her reminisce on her family. Somehow.]

...okay! Tomorrow at the beach, right? [It's one way to get her mind off things.]

[failazure]

--Oh! But... [herp] Are you sure it's okay? I don't even know her...

[markofthewise]

And after tomorrow you will! [GOSH KEEP UP NOEL.] But anyone can come. Just bring a plate of food and it's fine.

[failazure]

[>bring a plate of food

OPPORTUNITY]

I... I'll see if I can cook something up for the occasion!

[markofthewise]

Good! The more food the better. Everyone else is supposed to bring something too.

[failazure]

[/blink] Like a present?

[markofthewise]

Well. Sure, for those that know her. I just meant food. Everyone's bringing it.

[Because Katara is the only good cook in that household. 8|]

[failazure]

Oh! [She thought he meant...]

What kind of things does Katara like? I could bring both. [...] Ah, but... is that too weird?

[markofthewise]

Yeah, probably. Don't bring a present.

[He's blunt. Very blunt.]

[failazure]

Okay. [Blunt is fine. Sometimes.] Food it is, then!
