[ Action ] .044

[markofthebrave]

[Should you be passing by the bridge between the clinic and the Item Shop on this fine, finally-a-break-from-the-heat afternoon, you will notice that there has been a certain change in the landscape. A large wall, seemingly made out of one solid chunk of earth has appeared by the riverbank and painted white. At varying points in the day there may also be some spheres, pyramids, inverted pyramids appearing beside the wall... and that white wall is on its way to becoming multicolored.

There by the wall is a large sheet and on it rest pretty much every container of water-soluble paint found in the Item Shop, mainly strong primary colors. There are balloons and small buckets and bowls, and just about everything you could want in order to throw paint at a white wall.

Random passerby, what do you do? Continue on your way and hope not to get splashed with mud, water, or paint? Stop to wonder at this strange work of 'art?' Or if you don't mind getting your hands dirty, there does seem to be more than enough paint...]

[As Fenimore makes her way her way along the path, she notices the wall, but it doesn't immediately register -- she's a little lost in thought. So she keeps walking.

Step, step, step, step...step.....step.........step..............stop.

She slows to a stop on the bridge and frowns at the wall, puzzled. That...was not here last time.]

[Hey, not-sister! Toph is having quite a bit of fun creating different shapes out of earth when she feels Fenimore approaching. She turns a around with a large grin.]

Hey, Fen! Long time no see! Pretty impressive wall, huh?

[Keimi was wheeling her way around, just exploring the village, when she came across the wall. It was really pretty, and there were so many cool colors everywhere. Maybe... if she was quick... she could put something herself up before someone noticed. 'Scuse her while she looks around for a brush.]

[markofthebrave]

[Sadly, there are no brushes, Keimi! There are pots and buckets and sponges, and waiting-to-be-filled balloons, and the sound of splashing coming from the other side of the wall. It appears that the idea involves getting messy?]

[sea-king-bait.livejournal.com]

[Messy? Keimi doesn't understand this strange concept. Still, she's more than happy to take the sponge and-- hey what was that splashing noise? She'll quietly wheel herself around the wall to investigate.]

[blessingone]

[Fenimore hesitates -- partly from seeing the earthbending that she only knows about through muddled event memories and partly from the strange emotions elicited from getting called Fen after that experiment. But, after a moment, she decides to just roll with it. She moves closer, but stays on the bridge and leans on the railing.]

...Hey, Toph. It is pretty big. I guess you're the one responsible for that?

[markofthebrave]

[And that splashing noise was a giant splash of red paint on the wall, and it's followed up by a laugh as Katara spreads it around with her hands, mixing it with the blue and yellow already on the wall, tracing patterns with her fingers.

She glances over her shoulder when she senses someone else there, and she glances over, all paint-flecked.]

Hi, Keimi!

[banditsblindly.livejournal.com]

Yup! It's my fine effort as part of Katara's paint thingy. Wanna give it a try?

[And Toph's pretty much gotten over the whole thing. Even if they were fake sisters, that didn't mean things had to be weird, right?]

[sea-king-bait.livejournal.com]

Oh! Katara-chin, hi!

[She turns and looks at the wall. She never know that walls could be painted like that. But it actually looks really cool.]

Wow~! I didn't know you were an artist.

[markofthebrave]

[And there is a SPLASH from the other side of the wall.]

[markofthebrave]

[Katara laughs.] I'm not an artist! I'm just splashing paint around.

I thought it would be fun. Want to join in?

[sea-king-bait.livejournal.com]

I'd love to! It looks like fun~!

[blessingone]

[Fenimore thinks it's still a little weird, but still not weird enough to really impact things. ...Well, not most of the time, at least.]

Paint thingy? [Then she hears the splash.] ...She's throwing paint at it?

[banditsblindly.livejournal.com]

[Toph nods.] Pretty much! She's got the waterbending advantage. But I think it'd be more fun to use hands, anyway.

[markofthebrave]

Great! Grab some paint! There's plenty of wall.

[Well, now that he's feeling better, to some measurable extent (blasted left arm still won't move...stupid Malnosso), he'll need the fresh air he missed for two whole weeks. With that in mind, he'll just walk past here to the stores and--

...What is that...that thing that's painted onto the wall.]

[simplestgift]

[Archie will just...look. And wonder if Jilly has seen this.]

[markofthebrave]

[The chances are good that it is a bright blue splash. Closely followed by a bright yellow splash. And then some zig-zags down the middle where the splashes meet in order to mesh it and make green. No, there is no pattern here.

...but as he watches there is a paint-speckled girl about to splash it again, this time with more red.]

[tvorcrash.livejournal.com]

[The first thing that pops into his mind when he sees her is that -- given the amount of paint she's got -- she's responsible for that splattered mess up there. The second thing that comes to mind is the obvious notion of catching her attention.

...Which he does promptly with a simple:] Hey!

[markofthebrave]

[Hmm... right about now would be when Katara decides that the very top of the wall could use some color. Like the sun dripping down onto the rest of this unholy mess. So she bends up plate-sized globs of paint and launches three or four of them at the top of the wall with a grin on her face.]

[markofthebrave]

[And Katara turns around until she spots the stranger. And smiles!]

Hello!

[simplestgift]

[Watching her brings a smile to Kennedy's face. Jilly has to see this. He pulls out his journal and writes the artist a quick message.]

[markofthebrave]

[Hmm.... she quite likes the way the yellow is streaking down over the blue and green mixture. But she thinks she wants to hurry some of those drops along, so she pulls them down, like streaks of light, over the mess.

She'd probably notice someone staring in a minute, right now she's just looking at the colors.]

[tvorcrash.livejournal.com]

[Motioning towards that giant splatter of paint with his usable hand.] What's that supposed to be?

[markofthebrave]

[...]

Colorful?
