[ Action, Voice ] .029

[For no very specific reason at all, Katara is happy this late afternoon. The air is getting colder, and the very fact that it's nipping at her face is enough to make her smile. Add to that the glorious storm of yesterday, that it is still drizzling...

It's started drizzling as she runs her errands in town, and she puts a hand up to bend an 'umbrella' above her head as she walks along. She forgets herself, though, as she comes to some large puddles in the road, and dropping her hand, stares at them for half a beat.

Well, she's already wet.

So she jumps in. Not bending at all, simply splashing about in the puddles along her way.

Feel free to catch her in this rare display of immaturity and glee - or even join her! Hopefully she won't catch a cold.

Much later, as she prepares dinner for her house, she makes a voice post.]

Anyone else looking forward to the change in the weather?

I'm so used to the desert, it'll be a change.

Have you had winter before, Derek? You were here for the last one, right?

[Voice - for obvious reasons XD]

[Sitting up in bed. Unable to fully avoid grumpy roommates. Listening to the rain outside for the last two days and unable to go out in it. Flipping through journal pages. Yeah, he's a happy camper. How are you, Katara?]

About damn time it started cooling off.

[Voice]

[markofthebrave]

I hear you have to go through summer in most places, to get to fall.

[She's doing just fine, man. Note that she is not at all disturbed by you?]

[He comes to a stop just short of splash-range, smiling silently from beneath his umbrella. He's traded in his beloved SMS jacket for one of black leather- and from the thickness, it's got a light lining on the inside. And for now, Michael will be content to watch Katara frolic, and wait till she notices her audience.]

[La de da de da, splash splash splashing.]

[Oh my, what is that out of the corner of her eye?]

[When Katara finally gets home from being a silly girl, Sokka will be on the covered part of the porch with Hawky beside him. He saw her coming down the path, jumping in puddles. Oh you silly, silly girl.]

Having fun?

[Action]

[markofthebrave]

[She sticks her nose up in the air, causing water to dribble off her eyelashes and the tip of her nose and drip off her hair.]

Yes. Yes, I am.

[silversnowfall]

[catching sight of this from under her real umbrella, Nephry stops to watch...and smile.]

[Katara doesn't notice at first, splashing along her way to pick up groceries.]

[voice]

[falenandawn]

I definitely am.

Frey? [It's been a while since they'd spoken. ...was he actually a boy or a girl at the moment? She wasn't sure.]

Did you grow up where it was cold too?

[Voice]

[eidolon-soul.livejournal.com]

...not that much. I guess I'm too used to warmth to give it up easily.

[Voice]

[markofthebrave]

I guess where you grow up makes a huge difference in what kind of weather you look forward to. Was it very warm where you grew up?

[Voice/Filterd]

[goldenglasses]

I can't wait to see the snow again!

[Voice/Filterd]

[markofthebrave]

[Griiiiiins!]

Me either! It feels like it's been such a long time.

[This is much too mundane a subject to hold Sigmund's attention, but that doesn't matter. He's not speaking up for the sake of conversation.]

No. I am not.

[voice]

[markofthebrave]

You don't like the cold?

[...crap, she knew she'd been forgetting something. She hadn't gone to check up on him in too long. But she figured, once she dropped Capell off that if they needed her...]

How are you feeling?

[Katara glances over, startled at the noise and sudden other presence.]

[ voice ]

[savethelastchip.livejournal.com]

It should be a pretty nice change.

[ voice ]

[markofthebrave]

I like the fall. It has gorgeous sunsets.

[ voice ] also, these might be placeholders 8|

[sniperkingftw.livejournal.com]

...

It depends on if we get another blizzard once it does.

[ voice ]

[markofthebrave]

...blizzards can be pretty dangerous if you don't know how to handle them. But the houses here are pretty sturdy. If you just make sure that your house is stocked up and you don't go outside when it looks like a storm, you guys should be fine.

[A mild sound of displeasure at the question, because puffing on cigarettes at a marvelous rate isn't helping with the looming sign of illness he will be forced to endure.

He laughs a little, though. Oh well, shit happens you don't like, right?]

I didn't even know there were changes in season until now. But I sure as hell won't enjoy it until my immune system learns about it.

[voice]

[markofthebrave]

[Oh hey, she remembers you!

...immune system. She learned about that in school.] The weather makes you sick?

[voice]

[wildconqueror.livejournal.com]

Are ya talkin' about how cold people say it's gonna get?

[voice]

[markofthebrave]

Yeah, I am. I miss the cold. I've never been through such a long, hot summer before. Do you not like the cold?

[Voice]

[wanderer-jack.livejournal.com]

[The journal picks up sounds of whistling wind and flapping cloth, the patter of rain loud and the voice having to talk loudly over the weather.] Normally, I do not mind the rain. PFFFT, pah...but it seems...pfft that perhaps I did not plan out my camp...ahh...ahhh...ACHOO!!
[A loud sigh and what sounds like hammering ring out over the journal.] I did not think about the weather when I made camp. I might...[CLANG CLANG CLANG]...be moving soon before winter begins. How do you fare with the change of seasons, Katara?

[Voice]

[markofthebrave]

[Your question has been temporarily put on hold, due to all those noises, sir.]

...are you all right, Jack? Do you need any help? It sounds like your camp is running away on you.

[Richard is on his way back from the store with some supplies when he catches sight of Katara splashing in the puddles. He'll just stop to watch, marveling at how much fun she seems to be having by doing something so simple. Jumping in puddles is... well, it's something he's never really had a chance to try for himself.]

[Action]

[markofthebrave]

[Splash, splash, splash, Katara continues on her way up the road, practically making some sort of messy dance. She is momentarily oblivious to his presence.]

[The rain is a welcome change from the thunderstorm yesterday. It's why Naoki doesn't mind going out--he needs to stretch his legs anyway. Lacking in a shirt, as per usual, but he does have an umbrella over his head.

He's wandering in the direction she's in, blinking ahead when he sees the splashing. Then grinning.]

Doesn't that look like fun.

[Action] 1/3? [At one point, she will stop being so embarrassed at being caught, maybe]

[markofthebrave]

[Gah, what in the what?!]

[Voice]

[kyoshi]

I have to admit I'm dreading it a little. I've never actually lived in an area that got snow in the winter before.

[Voice]

[markofthebrave]

Well, you're in good company for getting used to it. I'm sure Sokka will tell you all about how to survive in the cold. We had it drilled into us since we were little. And I was here in the middle of winter last time -- it wasn't so bad.

[Action]

[Action] 1/4 /gives in

[markofthebrave]

[Yes, yes she is having fun.

Splash, splash, slowly making her way up the road in what is nothing more than a childish dance.]

[voice]

[stilldontgotit.livejournal.com]

Can't say I am. Last year, it snowed for months.

[voice]

[markofthebrave]

[Katara can't help laughing at that.] Oh no. That sounds horrible.

[The grin, it is in her voice.]
