[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, I'm sure they will. [After all, her hair ornaments are the best! Her eyes start bleeding silver now.]

[...wait. What. That... okay something can't be right. She's probably just imagining things. Things have been fairly stressful, after all. Just move onto the next topic.]

Also, if you'd like I can try to prepare everyone's meals for the next few days. So you can have some time to relax.

[Katara's just come back from an experiment, and being kidnapped and experimented on is never good. It'll probably be nicer if Yue tries to make things a bit easier for her, that way she'll be able to have some time to relax after all this.]

[Oh, that sneaky, sneaky person! How dare she try to outmaneuver her with kindness! Katara's gridelin eyes narrow.]

That's ever so sweet of you, Yue. How about we both make dinner together? That way everyone will get a chance to help.

[Well, as long as Katara doesn't mind working together, then that's fine with Yue.]

That's fine with me. As long as you're alright with it, I mean. [After all, they've been cooking together often enough.]

[Katara's voice drips with honey.]

I appreciate the offer, truly. Why would I mind it?

Well, I thought you may want some time to relax after [being kidnapped] all that. Making dinner together is good, too, though. It'll be nice to have things start going back to normal.

["Start" being the key word there, since things won't be back to normal until Zuko is returned. Still, Katara is back. Yue is grateful for that.]
