[Voice / Action] backdated to the 13th

[kyoshi]

[Locked from Sokka]

Hey everyone, just a head's up that Sokka and I will be unavailable for a few days. We should be back sometime next week, so don't worry.

And if you see him first, do me a favour and don't tell him! But you can wish him a happy anniversary, if you want.

Kyoshi Warriors, if you could check in and let me know you're alright, I'd appreciate it, especially after that last experiment. I'd like to make sure we still have a full roster of members. This Sunday's practice is cancelled since I'll be out of the village, but don't slack off on your training, okay?

Oh, and if anyone is curious, the Kyoshi Warriors of Luceti are a group of girls learning self-defense and stealth combat techniques. If anyone is interested in joining or finding out more about the group, I'd be happy to answer any questions!

[With that, Suki makes herself busy with some packing. She'll make a round to all of her housemates first to let them know she and Sokka will be AWOL, then it's off to the smithy, backpack in hand, to ninja-kidnap her unsuspecting fiance.]

Comments

[markofthewise]

No, I'm pretty sure there's a rule about that. If you know it's coming, it's not very romantic.

[kyoshi]

What? That's the silliest rule I've ever heard of.

[markofthewise]

Well I don't make the rules. I'm just doomed to have to surprise you with romantic stuff.

[kyoshi]

Hm... well, if you insist. You'll just have to come up with something better next time.

[markofthewise]

Well I have several ideas, but I can't discuss them, otherwise I wouldn't be able to use them.

[kyoshi]

In that case, I won't pry- I like your surprises.

[markofthewise]

Good. Because I'd hate for you to surpry too much.

[kyoshi]

...'Surpry'? Really?

[Oh, Sokka.]

[markofthewise]

Hey, you put it out there to take. They can't all be winners. [But hey, at least the Rec Center is just ahead.]

[kyoshi]

[Facepalm... okay, she'll give him that. In Sokka's mind every word is fair game for a pun.

Whatever, that's her husband-to-be. With a patient smile she gives his hand a tug and picks up the pace, eager to get there. They have an anniversary to celebrate, after all.]

[markofthewise]

[Okay okay! We're going. At the teleporter. Though Sokka gets distracted by all the stuff in the Rec Center.]

... we really should try out the TV here sometime.

[kyoshi]

I watched it once! It was neat. I think it would be easy to get hooked on it though.

[markofthewise]

You think so? Because I could get one from the Malnosso.

[kyoshi]

What, with missions? I don't know if that's worth the risk, Sokka.

[markofthewise]

I've got points saved up! Besides, all they ever do is send me to that stupid farm. The only risk is dying of boredom.

[kyoshi]

Don't you want to save them for something important, though? Some of what they offered might come in handy one day.

[markofthewise]

Yeah, yeah. I know. Besides, we'd have to completely rearrange everything to make room for it. [And he likes the Avatar House the way it is!]

Okay, back to the romantic getaway. [He steps up to the teleporter and opens it up.] After you.

[kyoshi]

Right, right. [Smiling at him - what a gentlemanly gesture! - she gives him a quick kiss on the cheek and steps in, tugging him along with her. She's ready to have some fun.]

[markofthewise]

[Aww, that's sweet. Grinning, he climbs in with her and starts to pull it close. It's a little cramped though, so he has to move in pretty close to her.]

I should... really talk to Leon about making this bigger. [Okay he awkwardly reaches out to close the door and turn it on.]

[kyoshi]

Oh, I don't know. [She winds her arms around him, sidling up.] I think it's k-

[ZOOM TELEPORTED]

-ind of cozy.

Sokka always looks so crazy there

[markofthewise]

[Here, have a forehead smooch. It's a little too cramped for anything else.]

You do have a point. Too bad the ride is so short, huh?

she loves him for his madness

[kyoshi]

[Well, let's try to wiggle out of this thing, shall we?]

I'm sure we can find all kinds of places around here to squeeze into, if you're that interested.

oh suki, how sweet of you

[markofthewise]

[He shall wiggle out first. He may try to polite, but he's not always thinking about it.]

Is that a promise?

I know right, she's the best girlfriend ever

[kyoshi]

[Well, they can't always do ladies first. Anyway, she got in first, so trying to get around him might've ended in disaster.

Instead, she just follows him out.]

I'll even make it part of your present.

and such a hottie too!

[markofthewise]

[Sokka breathes in the steam from the bath house. It's nice and warm inside here. Honestly, it wouldn't be too bad just hanging out in here. He grins. This really was a good idea.]

I get a present too?
