004 - My Funny Valentine

[alwayscomeback]

Who: Sokka and YOU!!
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: Blue Fish
When: Today

[Okay, so the date's wrong, but Sokka in his hyperactive state didn't pay much attention to the details anyway. What was important to him, was that there was a celebration honouring the one you loved and that needed to be addressed.

So, he waves excitedly at the camera, trying to focus it on...an odd 'statue' in the cargo bay of the Blue Fish. He'd considered putting it together on one of the moons, but that would have just been weird, so in the ship he went. It doesn't really look like anything, except for a weird blob made of of bits of melted metal. For some reason, it's holding a fan.]

HEY GUYS!!! I know that Vahl-in-tynes thing is ...soon? Soon! So I made this statue for the lady of my heart, Suki!

[It doesn't look like a lady. It doesn't even look human.]

So Suki is a pretty awesome gal. She kicks butt all the time, and usually does it with just a fan, isn't that amazing? She's part of this all girls warrior group and she could kick all your butts with her hands tied behind her back. AND she's beautiful and smart to boot!

[He winks at the camera] Baby, I know you can't see this, but I miss you and I really hope you're okay, I'll be back before you know it.

[ladiesss]

Hm. [she thinks for a second, scratching her head...] I'll take a picture. If I ever find somewhere to print it, you can show her if you go anywhere.

[alwayscomeback]

Oh, wow, really?

[He understand pictures, thanks to the Augment, they sound like such a great way to capture a moment.]

I really, really appreciate that!

[ladiesss]

Yeah, no problem. [a little smile.] Uh, happy platonic Valentine's, Sokka.

[alwayscomeback]

[His smile softens a little.]

Happy platonic Vale-en-tines to you, too. You want me to make a statue for you, too?

[ladiesss]

Nnnnah, it's okay. [she waves her hand like NO NO seriously you don't have to.] I'm more into chocolates and stuff.

[alwayscomeback]

Oh.

I don't know how to make chocolates...

[ladiesss]

Well, you don't make them out of metal. That's rule number one.

[alwayscomeback]

Eugh, no. You couldn't eat them, then.

[ladiesss]

Hah, yeah. I don't really know how to make them either... [a thoughtful pause, as her mind starts to wander.] Maybe I should pick up a cookbook while we're near all these moons...?

[alwayscomeback]

That'd be a good idea! I mean, there's got to be some people not lucky enough to have a cook on their ship, right? And none of us know when someone will just...vanish. It's a good idea to be prepared.

[ladiesss]

Good thinking, all the way. Okay, I'll add it to the list.

[alwayscomeback]

Great stuff! The no one will starve!
