BACKDATED to July 3rd [ Action, Voice ] .049

[markofthebrave]

[Today, Katara sleeps in far later than her custom - in fact, she won't wake up until around one. No one in the house particularly wants her up, and when she does wake she feels as if a platypus bear has been playing kickball with her head. Everything is stuffed in cotton. And then some remaining memories of the past few days filter in through the pain, and suddenly Katara doesn't want to wake up.

She rolls over and finds her journal, blinking the lights from her eyes.]

Did you ever wake up feeling like you owed half the village an apology?

[She shuts the book, having overestimated her ability to do and be... anything. Everything hurts right now, and it's only several hours later when she'll get up out of the bed and make responses to anyone who may have responded back to her post.

If anyone in the house feels like ministering to a girl with a hell of of an experimental hangover, she'll be in her room and then in the kitchen, holding her head in her hands as she drinks water. It doesn't seem that Nala works for hangovers, and her concentration is way too shot to try to fix her own headache.]

[After hearing her message on the journal, Sokka decided to head home a little early. So when he finds in the kitchen looking... well, not very good, he decides to plop down on the other side of the table.]

Rough night, huh?

[Action]

[markofthebrave]

[She winces.]

Not so loud.

[Please note. There are no sparkles. And her tone is a normal cross.]

[Action]

[markofthewise]

[He winces sympathetically and lowers his voice.]

Sorry.

...Nope. Can't say I have. What happened?

[Clue~less.]

[markofthebrave]

[Hooo boy.]

It's a long story, Keimi.

[mikangirl.livejournal.com]

[...that's better.]

Welcome back.

[markofthebrave]

[Katara winces.]

...thanks.

[She's not sure what's worse. The headache or the lingering feelings of abject humiliation.]

[mikangirl.livejournal.com]

So the Malnosso returned you just today, right?

[Said in that blatant we can pretend the last few days didn't exist sort of way, really.]

[Voice]

[derek-bliss.livejournal.com]

...Doing better there, Katara?

[Derek will keep his voice low and sympathetic.]

[Voice]

[markofthebrave]

[Katara winces, vaguely remembering their last conversation. Ouch.]

Yeah. Thanks, Derek.

[Voice]

[derek-bliss.livejournal.com]

No problem.

...The whole eye thing was actually kinda pretty. But weird. Thought you'd been possessed.

[voice]

[wise_maiden]

... Welcome back, Katara. [She'll leave the message there, at least, and the teen can get back to her whenever she's feeling up to it.]

[voice]

[markofthebrave]

[Katara still feels like she has a hangover, but... she eventually does get back to her journal.]

Thanks, Raine.

[voice]

[wise_maiden]

Are you feeling any better?

[Voice]

[lina-revolution.livejournal.com]

Nope. Never.

[...] Why, are you feeling that way?

[...you don't sound as scary as you did a few days ago. Is there hope?]

[Voice]

[markofthebrave]

[Katara would think that'd be pretty obvious, but as she stares at the picture in the book she begins to get a dawning sense of horror -

- she should be feeling very embarrassed now, shouldn't she.]

My mallynap effect just wore off. I'm pretty sure I wasn't exactly myself for the past couple of days.

Re: [Voice]

[lina-revolution.livejournal.com]

"Mallynap"...?

[...] Oh.

[Then, with slightly manic cheerfulness that masks deep seated irritation.]

...hi! I'm Lina Inverse! What's your name?

voice

[stilldontgotit.livejournal.com]

Not exactly. So, mind if I ask what happened?

voice

[markofthebrave]

[...seriously, Riku?]

Mallynapping.

voice

[stilldontgotit.livejournal.com]

Oh, great.

[He sighs.]

They sure know how to soil the mood around here.

action; poor Katara.

[banditsblindly.livejournal.com]

[Toph maybe sort of intended to say something nice about sweeping it under the rug when she runs into Katara in the kitchen, but instead she doubles over in peals of laughter.]

Ha ha--I'm sorry, it's just--ha ha ha! You were so--

[And she literally cannot breathe she's laughing so hard.]

action; you suck, Toph ;;

[markofthebrave]

[Katara glances up at Toph from where she was busy being slumped and hungover in the kitchen and frowns before reaching over to crumple up a napkin and throw it at her friend.]

Not so loud!

[Ow, her head.]

action; she's such a brat.

[banditsblindly.livejournal.com]

[Ow ow ow--side ache. You know, from all the laughing? She wipes tears from her eyes--you know, from all the laughing?--as her laughter peters out. She's practically out of breath.]

Oh man, sorry, Katara, it's just--you should have seen yourself!

[Whenever Katara is ready to get herself checked out, Chopper will be right where Nami said he would - at the Strawhats' home.]

[Come, his favorite patient /o/]

[Action]

[markofthebrave]

[You mean the only patient that ever seeks him out even quasi-voluntarily?

Knock, knock, Chopper. Katara's got a heck of a headache and she's hoping for help.]

Chopper?
