[There's a somewhat familiar voice over the journals this afternoon. The setting is clearly the forest, as there are small woodland creatures scampering about. The voice itself seems to have an almost musical lilt to it.]

Hi, everyone! I'm back. I'm sorry if I worried you. Everything seems to be in one piece, and I'm making my way back to town now! Of course, my powers are missing, but they'll be back soon enough!

[Does it seem a little odd for Katara to be casually mentioning such an obvious weakness over an open network, or to be referring to her bending as 'powers?' It gets weirder. Because eventually she'll make her way out of the forest, and you may bump into her as she'll head towards the fountain and all around town. Is she... are those sparkles? And weren't her eyes blue? Why is her hair lighter? What is going on here?]

((OOC: Katara's mallynap effect: She has been turned into a Mary Sue. Click on the link for further details! ...or run for your life. >> You can catch her in the plaza today or walking along the river on the 1st! She'll also spend sometime in the Battle Dome ~~ogling~~ observing through the windows. Pretty much name a place and time if it's not 'today' and I'll work with it!))

Oh, Chouji-kun. Thank you so much for asking after me. But I assure you, as soon as I find my way through the cold, dark forest [A beam of sunlight falls on her, illuminating her hair, as a friendly squirrel chatters nonsense nearby] I shall be myself again, no matter what occured.

[

Chouji-kun? ]

[ But she doesn't know- or if she found out she never even uses-

And since when did she consider the forest dark and cold? Spiral of oddity-- ]

[ AND- THE HAIR? THE EYES- IS THIS THE REAL LIFE?

In all seriousness, now he's getting really concerned and wondering if they didn't just send back some kind of modified robot, or completely put her out of her mind, and these are no kind of good things when a lack of waterbending is out in the open. Time to move out. 8| ] ... I'll come meet you anyway. Just in case. [ Poor crazy girl. ]

Think you can find a road?

[This - this is her love, willing to risk great peril just in order to see her safely home. The strength of her emotions is too much! Her eyes turn purest amethyst.]

Of course I can find a road, silly. I am half ninja, after all.

[ Actually, he'll stick to this face while he goes. This face is good. ]

Oh. I-- didn't know that.

It's a long story. I try not to talk about it too much. [Keeping secrets about long sad stories, that's what Katara!Sues do best!]

I was trained by koala-otters.

[If you don't interrupt her, man, she will go on. Also, she is quite uselessly not moving.]

[ He will just go ahead and nod along to that one, okay crazy. In that "well, if you don't want to talk about it, I understand" way.

Have fun in all your delusions B|. He'll just... offer up a passable smile. ]

You might wanna start walking.

Oh, right! [Beaming at him, her eyes a happy eau-de-nil.] What a good idea. You're so smart, Chouji!

[ That is so... now he won't say creepy, because it's still kind of Katara. But so off-putting. So very off-putting. ]

Once in a while. [ Feet, girl. You should move them. ]

[You may need to actually remind her to start to move. Because yes, she is still just standing there.]

Oh, more than that, I'd say.

[ This falls in line with his natural deflection instincts anyway. ]

...uhm. The road, Katara?

Oh! [Giggle, giggle.] Right!

[And she starts moving.]
