[ Action ] .041

((The following takes place between 11:30pm on the 19th and 4:00-5:00 am on the 20th.))

[Katara awoke with a start - another nightmare. They'd been bothering her on and off since the draft, since seeing Nami... but now that Sokka was back she'd been getting better rest, so at first she thought all she'd have to do was lay back down and fall back asleep. No such luck. She feels more awake, more alive than she's felt in weeks. Deciding to get up and get a drink of water, Katara soon discovers the reason.

The moon is full. And it looks so close. All she needs to do is close her eyes and she can feel the pulsing of her own blood... of Zuko's, of Suki's, of Toph's, and Sokka... She opens her eyes, sets down the water, and tries to go back to bed, but she's too restless to sleep, and every time she begins to rest she can feel it. The push and pull. And she's so awake.

Katara decides it's a good night for a walk. The chill of winter is still in the air, so she bundles up, grabs her waterskin and her journal, and quietly makes her way out of the house. At first she starts to head towards town, but it's too brightly lit with those electric lights and she turns about halfway towards the plaza, deciding to walk along the river instead. She doesn't mean to go all the way to nearest lake - it's supposed to just be a quick walk to clear her head. But as the full moon battles with the clouds and the air fills with the heavy promise of rain, Katara loses track of time.

Feel free to bump into her as she walks up through town, along the river, or even down by the lake if she makes it that far - housemates can also bust her upon re-entry. >> This post inspired by the fact that the moon is closer to the earth tonight than it has been since the early 90s.]

[Katara isn't the only one affected by the pull of the full moon this night. As is becoming his custom Yue left the house once Yukito was asleep, taking to the sky to feel the cool night wind through his feathers before he finally settled in a tree near the edge of town, on the banks of the river.

He notices the approach of another but doesn't bother to move or speak to acknowledge her presence. He'll just watch her instead, his broad white wings curved forward slightly about himself.]

[Who else here but Katara knows the effect of the Moon on the Water like Ami does? Perhaps it's not a surprise for the two to meet. Ami looks surprised, but it quickly changes to a smile.]

Katara. I suppose we're out here for the same reason.

[ GUESS WHO IS OUT AND ABOUT TONIGHT. and sulking. someone else he liked got sent home, and that has him feeling pretty damn blue. he's by the river that night, wondering if maybe getting back into a training routine will make him feel more like himself. ]

[A green-haired head is poking itself out of the river. It quietly watches her as she walks along it.]

[There's some peculiar rolls of thunder sounding the closer one gets to the lake tonight, lulling in and out almost as if in conversation. Worth investigating?]

[Terra can't sleep, though it has nothing to do with the moon. She slips out of her apartment quietly, so as not to awaken her pet, and begins to walk her way through town. It's not a coherent tour so much as just going wherever her feet take her. At some point, she can be seen walking along the river, hopelessly awake and not very happy about it.]

[For her part, SPARTAN-023 is awake not because she cannot sleep -nightmares have been a recurring problem she has lived with for a long time-. She had seen the moon before, but never like this. Never so close. So for this time, much unlike her behavior, she gives herself the time to watch it.

Close to the river, nearing the lake, there is a suit of armor, sitting below a tree with a helmet by her side, looking at the moon.]

Woof!

[Upon hearing Katara's voice, Terra glances over. She pauses, not sure what to say, but sometimes it's easier to hide what she feels than others. This is not one of those times.]

I...couldn't sleep.

[She shrugs, managing a sheepish smile.]

I thought a walk might help.

[The armored woman turns her head she hears someone else. Daisy-023 remembers her voice, having spoken to her over the comms.]

Ma'am. [She nods to her. In a way, it's nice that people here didn't freak out as much when they saw her.] Not many sleep here, do they?

[San is awake also, sitting on the shore near where the lake becomes a river. She doesn't notice Katara at first - she's looking up at the moon as well.]

[San jumps, turning quickly to see who it is. ...Oh. It's just Katara. No need to look imposing, then.]

Katara.
