[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!))

[Sigmund certainly didn't intend to run into Katara today. He is, in fact, steadfastly avoiding her. Unfortunately, avoiding people can be a little difficult when you live by the active plaza of a small village.

Avoiding people is especially difficult when you live by the active plaza of a small village and have a dog that approves of neither leashes, nor listening. Good day, Katara. There is a large red poofball running up and sniffing around your feet, and one concerned redhead about ten feet away, wondering if he'd be in even more trouble if he let Dog fend for himself at the moment.]

[A;LSKJFALSKJF IT'S A LARGE RED FLUFFY THING COMING TO ATTACK HER!

Katara jumps back as far as she can with her puny little normal person legs. Stupid Malnosso.]

[Oh it's... not attacking her. Good. Her eyes change to aubergine in her relief, and Katara bends down, working some of her Sue magic to focus on the animal, petting it by the ears.]

[And that's when she glances up and sees - him. Her heart starts racing, pounding against her lungs. She hadn't spoken with him since...

Katara swallows, her throat suddenly dry and her eyes begin to bleed virescent. She bats her eyes as they sparkle a bit dreamily. He was so... noble, so misunderstood, she'd been wrong when she'd blamed the destruction of his people on his actions... and now she doesn't know what to do or say around him.

So she does her best to hide behind Dog.]

[After a few moments, Sigmund realizes he's probably going to have to go retrieve his dog. That traitor. He slinks over, generally trying to avoid eye contact.]

...Apologies. Dog. Here. [Dog... does not seem interested in going.]

[Katara peeps up at him over Dog's side, her eyes a timid teal. He's much... taller than she remembered. She'd missed him. Her voice is very small.]

Oh - no. It's okay. He can stay if he wants.
