[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!))

[That sounds a bit more like the Katara he knows, and Sanji visibly relaxes. Okay. She's good. The nagging paranoia is crushed down for another time]

I'm relieved~! [Seriously, she has no idea how much hearing her voice is a pick-me-up. This week could use some cheering] Did you get home alright? Or do you need someone to find you?

Oh, I'm fine now. [Beaming. This is the voice of her love! Offering to come and get her, despite the fact that they must keep their affair secret. Her eyes darken into emerald at the excitement.]

But it would be good to see you.

... [did her eyes just-- no no, he's imagining shit. Finally snapping from the stress. That's gotta be it.

But now that paranoia? Up and running again.]

Alright, where should we meet? [He's already on his feet, tossing concerned glances her way]

[Emerald eyes glitter and glisten with excitement, and her voice is falsely demure.]

Oh, wherever is easiest for you, of course.

[his danger senses are still tingling in time with those glittering eyes, but it's... Katara... who is probably under some type of effect. That doesn't mean he doesn't want to see her though; just that he must be cautious.

No problem. He can handle that much. Putting on a smile now!] In that case... why not by the plaza?

[The plaza? But it's so... public. How will she be able to share her affection without Them finding out? They are such a horrible obstruction. Sooner or later... they have to find a way around Them.]

Oh. Well, all right. I'll meet you there, okay?

Alright~! [Well, effect or no... Katara ;; he's missed you. And Sanji eagerly heads to the plaza, looking for any sight of his friend... surrounded in a sea of Them]

[And so Katara makes her way to the plaza, and as she does her feelings undergo a subtle change... as her eyes turn a limpid amber.]

Hello, Sanji!

[He looks pleased upon seeing her until he catches sight of her eyes do that... that thing they're doing]

Katara-chan, you're sure you're alright? Did they mess with your eyes?

[Katara stares at him blankly, her eyes morphing into emerald in her confusion.]

What do you mean, Sanji?

... Maybe the better question is, what color are your eyes normally? [Because for all he knows, she isn't privy to the effects.]

They change color. With my emotions. It's my curse.
