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!]

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!

[markofthewise]

... I'm starting to understand why you don't get out much.

[Girl, you're a wreck.]

[failazure]

[WHOA. UNCALLED FOR.] What's that supposed to mean!?

[markofthewise]

You're not good with people. That's all. [It's okay! Nobody's perfect.]

[failazure]

[...]

Is it really that bad?

[markofthewise]

Well it's not terrible...

[But it's bad.]

[failazure]

...but it's bad.

[Shut up, Sokka's OOC brackets.]

[markofthewise]

A little. But you shouldn't feel bad about it! I mean, you seem nice. When you're not in experiment mode, anyway.

[failazure]

I know I'm not the best people person. [It's said a little bluntly... as in, no need to try making her feel better, bro. She knows.] ...but I've made a lot of friends since I've been here.

When I think about it like that, it isn't so bad.

[markofthewise]

Well. Yeah. Friends are nice. [A pause. Awkwardly.] And Nami's a good friend. Especially now that people aren't trying to kill her all the time.

[failazure]

Tell me about it. I'm so glad most of that is over and done with. [...pause. She would ask "you knew?" but it was practically common knowledge two years ago. To her, anyway.]

[markofthewise]

[Well. They have something in common.] I don't know what it was! Everyone wanted a piece with her.

[failazure]

A bad stroke of luck? A disagreement? Interacting with the wrong people?

[Actually, it could be all three of those, really. B|]
