Hey, can I ask you guys a favor?


[Private to Derek]
Hey, Derek. Sokka said Donnie was passing on a message from you - that you were ready to give it a try? So when would you like to do this?


[Filtered 100 percent away from Sokka]
Hey, everyone. I know it's incredibly lousy timing, but it's Sokka's birthday tomorrow. Obviously we're not throwing a party or anything, but if you see him... [what's she going to say? Wish him a 'happy birthday' the day before we all go out to war? Her tone becomes wry.] ...give him a hug or something. I'm sure he'll love that.

((OOC: Tags back will come after the mun has slept.))

[The newly-drafted Mercury will uh, do her best.]

If I see him, I'll give him my greetings.

[Voice]

[markofthebrave]

Thanks, Ami. That will be great.

Re: [Voice]

I don't think his birthday should be forgotten. Even if the timing is like this.

[Says the girl whose birthday was forgotten by her friends. She isn't angry, but of course it had hurt a little.]

[Derek stares at the journal for a long time before he answers. Because that definitely wasn't what he'd said to Donnie. Or so he thought.

...sigh]

...I think he misunderstood me. I told him to go look for you and help take a look at the stuff. Figured that brain of his might be able to analyze it a bit more with you before I agreed to it.

[And if it still looked iffy, to try and talk you out of it, Katara.]

At any rate, should probably wait until after the draft.

[In case you need it there.]

[Voice | Locked 100%]

[markofthebrave]

Oh. [Well... that makes a little more sense. But. There is no way she's giving up.]

Although I'm not really sure you can analyze something from the Spirit Oasis. But I don't see why it should have to wait. They give you whatever you want out there, you just can't bring it back.

[So she can get a refill if it's needed on the field.]

[asajd quh90h8ijh io!!@%353, kid!

Breathe. Okay.]

Just...wait. You have more important things to worry about right now, and I'm not going anywhere. It can wait.

Somehow, I doubt he'll appreciate a hug from me. [But he'll manage to... eh. Do something]

[Voice]

[markofthebrave]

[Everything is too horrible for her to take this seriously.]

You never know. He might.

[Hey, Sanji. She's glad to see you smiling.]

[Voice]

[oda-hates-me.livejournal.com]

Maaah, in that case, maybe I'll give it a try.

Though barring that, might be easier to make him something when you guys get back.

[Because you two will come back. That he's sure of.]

[voice]

[godbent]

...His birthday?

[There's a lot of mixed feelings she has here. Does that mean he's coming to give her that hawk on his birthday? It would seem to line up timing wise, but. This is also one of the only things she's tagged all since post-event journal wise, feel lucky]

[voice]

[markofthebrave]

[Oh - hey Haruhi. She wasn't expecting to hear from you since you really sounded... not so good when you last posted. Of course she'd been kind of busy at the time with everything else falling apart and the draft, so she hadn't had a chance to talk to you then, but... she'd still noticed.

So there's a bit of a pause here as Katara remembers and decides what to and what not to address, if anything.]

That's right. He'll be seventeen.

[voice]

[godbent]

...What a day.

[What else can she say? Sigh]

[herotypical]

[ lousy timing with birthdays? oh look, another thing they have in common. ]

Oh. Wow, talk about the worst present ever.

[markofthebrave]

[Oh, hey Buffy.]

Yeah, it's... definitely up there.

But at least it's before the fight.

[herotypical]

Even still -- I bet he's got his hands full with other things that don't involve kicking back and celebrating.

[filtered]

[stilldontgotit.livejournal.com]

They're sending him out to fight right after his birthday? That's some present alright.

[A beat.]

I'll see what I can do, Katara.

[filtered]

[markofthebrave]

Thanks, Riku. I know it's been a hard couple of weeks for everyone so - I appreciate it.

[filtered]

[stilldontgotit.livejournal.com]

It's the least I could do. Might as well leave on a positive note, especially after that experiment.

[blessingone]

[Well, she's really not going to give him a hug after last week. Really not going to give him a hug. But it is good to get a little notice.]

Thanks. ...Well, I guess you could do something afterwards and just make it a little belated.

[markofthebrave]

[...

It's you.

Oh, you've got guts commenting here, Katara will give you that.

...of course, rationally, Katara knows it's no more your fault than it was Sokka's. But at the same time she is so, so not sure how she feels about you being around them or in the same general area as Sokka and Suki so close after the mess you - the experiment caused.]

[ Filtered from Sokka ]

[markofthebrave]

[Sigh.

Stupid fairness.

Her voice is friendly enough. Oh, but she is watching.]

We probably will do something like that, yeah. It's nice to celebrate what we can that's real here.

[...opps, was that pointed? She didn't mean it to be, but well. Not taking it back.]

I'm not as late as usual :|a

[notaboy-gtfo.livejournal.com]

... What's up?

[ This is how Smellerbee does "nice because you're getting your asses tossed out into a giant battle to the death." ]

Not late at all!

[markofthebrave]

[That's fine, dude, Katara doesn't want to talk about the giant battle to the death anyway.]

It looks like all of us will be gone for a little bit, so I was hoping that I could get you guys to watch Momo? He takes care of himself for the most part, and will steal all your peaches, but he can be kind of fun to have around.

[And she has a feeling that if she leaves the lemur at home by himself, he'll tear the place apart. And be lonely. Which is worse.]

[kyoshi]

Thanks for letting everyone know, Katara. [Birthdays, huh. She'll have to track the date more closely for a bit, in that case.] ...I didn't get him anything, though! [She'd been so mad at him and then happy and then mad again and arrrgh. How is she going to find something so short notice?]

[markofthebrave]

Well, it's not like you guys planned to come back to town for it. I'm sure he'll understand.
