[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?

[His words bring a shade of concern to her eyes.] I don't know... I mean, it's just two school rooms, one for older kids and one for younger. It's probably the kind of stuff that you've learned already - a lot of the people from the more technological worlds seem to be really familiar with what we're taught.

[Not so, Katara. Luceti is her first time attending a school, though she was literate and knew basic math when she came here.] But you could always just come for the classes that interest you, if you get too bored. That's what Sokka does.

[He's got the rough equivalent of an incomplete high school education- with the addition of extensive pilot training courses. Aparently in Macross!world, most students' education focuses on how to be a pilot, an idol singer, or one of a number of careers that serve as support for those two.]

I'll play it by ear- I spent some time studying with Mitsuru in preparation for the placement test- the basic curriculum seems to be right in line with Mihoshi Academy's.

Mitsuru? [That name pings Katara - she'd been meaning to get to know the older girl better, since their impromptu race on these glowing blue bikes a few experiments ago.] She seems really nice. I'm sure you did just fine on the test.

[And look, they are towards the doorway now.] So I guess I'll see you on Monday?

[He holds the door open for her again, his umbrella hooked on the same arm as his groceries.]

Yeah- I can't wait~

[And with one more smile at Michael, off she goes to be interrogated by her brother as to why she is in such a good mood. Oh dear.]
