4th Wall Shenanigans!

[markofthebrave]

[Whelp. Katara has no idea what's going on here. Suddenly, everything is crowded and there are people without wings and this isn't madness - it's LUCETI. So. She's just going to shrug and roll with it, basically.

Saturday has Katara out running errands and visiting friends, then making dinner for the house and practicing by the river in the evening.

Sunday has Katara sneaking away for a little bit and winding up in the hot springs. Masaomi's party had been a great idea, okay? And surely nothing weird would go on there, right?]

Saturday evening~

[everlastingturmoil]

... Katara?

1/2

[markofthebrave]

[Juuuust practicing here, wings tucked into her parka and all, but you know, those earrings in her ears may glisten.

...did she just hear something?]

[markofthebrave]

[...yup.

She drops the water onto the snow.]

Jet?

[Is he a New Feather or one of those weird wingless folk?]

Saturday?

[ex_honors291]

[When Katara is out running errands, she'll run into someone verrrry familiar. Grumbling and fuming as he is wont to do.]

Stuck in another place I can't get home from. Great. Just great. This is getting ridiculous.

Saturday!

[markofthebrave]

[Blink.]

Zuko?

[...didn't she just leave you back at the house, man?]

Saturday evening!

[lunargoodness]

[While practicing by the river that night, it probably won't be difficult to notice that her bending is stronger than usual. ... It won't be difficult to notice that some of the moonlight doesn't appear to be coming from the sky, but instead from a bit further behind her.]

... Katara?

indeed!

[markofthebrave]

[No, no that's certainly... not difficult to notice. And it's been some cause of concern. And...]

Yue?

Sunday XD

[whitelotusdragon]

[So Iroh's not entirely sure where he is or why, but this really isn't too tragic since he's conveniently found a local hot spring. He can bother to look for information after a nice relaxing soak. Ahhh this is nice.]

pfff, beautiful 1/2

[markofthebrave]

[Okay, so. Katara was about to slip off her towel and get in the hot spring when she noticed it was otherwise occupied.]

Gah! [Turning abruptly around.]

Re: Sunday XD

[markofthebrave]

[And heeeesitently turning her head.]

General... Iroh?

[Her wings should be quite visible over the towel, for the record.]

Saturday Evening!!! ♥

[frillneckedlizard]

[It seems to be Yukko's trend to just get lost in places she doesn't know/understand. So, she's walking along the river hoping it'll lead her SOMEWHERE.

Then she sees it. Whatever she is seeing--she's seeing it. Is that woman... and the water... and the moving... Is that tai-chi? And the water--

She's running at you now.

Don't be alarmed! She's stopped a few feet from you to yell with excitement and confusion and SO MANY FEELINGS.] WHAT ARE YOU DOING?? HOW ARE YOU DOING THAT?! HOW? WHAT! WHY. HOW?!?

\o/!

[markofthebrave]

[Oh my goodness, that's a lot of shouting and Katara turns around to address the... strange little girl?

Shouting. With so many questions. Um.

Well, okay then. She casually streams the water around her in a quick show-offy and lovely arc and smiles at the kid.]

I'm waterbending. It's okay, you can come closer if you like.

[So she can determine if you have wings or if you need help.]

PROSING IT PROSING IT YEAH

[greenjacketed]

...Major Richard Sharpe did not know where he was. Not that this was particularly new -- back in his time as a private in the British Army, he had spent quite a few marches in India being wholly unaware of where they were or where they were going or where they were coming from. Just trudging along. Heavy packs and faulty muskets.

God's blood, but he'd come a long bloody way. Green-jacketed, now, with a great-coat draped over. And carrying his rifle slung over his shoulder. But Sharpe did not know where he was and so he paused in the middle of the plaza and lifted one slightly-nervous hand.

"...Err, excuse me. M'lady?"

Whooo, PROSE!

[markofthebrave]

Katara blinks when he addresses her, but stops and turns to face him willingly enough. Another New Feather? At least he's clothed. Or maybe he's one of these other ones? ...it's impossible to tell with that coat. "Yes? Can I help you?"

Sunday

[angle_on_it]

[As if these sorts of shenanigans aren't already hard enough to cope with at times, you get a pretty drunk brother straight from downtown scenic post-apocalyptia.]

[Sokka points at Katara, eyes having trouble focusing.]

Ka-- *hic*Katara, get outta that boilin' oil before you fffffry...

1/?

[markofthebrave]

[But.... Sokka's on a mission right now.]

[markofthebrave]

[And what happened to his beard?]

Sunday- on the way to the springs?

[paranoidpatriot]

[Speaking of those wingless people- well, there isn't one here- but that doesn't mean a certain someone still belongs. Guess who's furrowing a crooked brow in your direction?]

"Katara?"

[Jet's tawny brown wings are as flippant as ever.]

sure!

[markofthebrave]

[Stopping. Short. Staring.]

Jet?

Sunday!

[devicpillar]

[It really doesn't take Himmel long to find out there are hot springs in Luceti, and he's never been to one before and he might never have the chance to again, so he's here today. It's really quite relaxing, and he wishes they had them where he was forced to stay because it really soothes his nerves to be in the warm water.

...although he gets curious when he hears someone come around, and when he sees it's a very lovely girl he'll definitely be happy.]

Oh, hello there!

\o/

[markofthebrave]

[Katara comes after changing in the bathhouse and is wearing a towel and her favorite swimsuit underneath it. When she sees that the hot spring is already occupied by a stranger, she hesitates.]

Oh. Hello!

[Um, to retreat, come back later, or find a different spot... hmm.]

Saturday Evening

[thebellthatbinds]

[If Katara looks a little further down the river and close to the treeline she might see Sabriel standing stock still with a bell in hand covered in a thin layer of ice. She's not frozen, don't worry, she's just taking a look in Death to be certain the threat she had been running from hasn't followed her here.]

[markofthebrave]

[Oh. Well. That's... different. Katara pauses in her bending to glance down the river at the still figure, and then glance around just to check and make sure that everything's okay. At no sign of any sort of threat, she'll call out.]

Are you all right?

Sunday

[moonwalkheadspin]

[IN AN ALTERNATE TIMELINE TO GENERAL IROH or maybe she's just trying again.

SUDDENLY SOMEONE IS SPINNING OFF THE BATHHOUSE ROOFTOP ON HIS HEAD WITH HIS LEGS ALMOST STRAIGHT OUT LIKE HELICOPTER BLADES SHOUTING BROKEN ENGLISH PHRASES]

ＣＯＭＥ　ＯＮ　ＣＯＭＥ　ＯＮ　ＣＯＭＥ　ＯＮ　ＣＯＭＥ　Ｏ　ー

[There is a splash as he hits the hot springs and sinks.]

1/2

[markofthebrave]

[Well that's - yeah, that's not good.]

[didyoublink]

[So apparently there's a statue watching you waterbend at the river.

Sup.]

[markofthebrave]

[Katara pauses in her bending to stare at the statue. Huh. That's. Weird.]

Saturday!

[unblessed]

[Okay, this... probably isn't a good thing. How does someone lose the entire group they're traveling with, right? Aya's gonna be mad.

Whatever Katara happens to be doing, she will be interrupted by a lost, redheaded boy looking for some help!]

Um... Excuse me?

oh yay! also 1/?

[markofthebrave]

[Turning...]

Saturday

[wifeofhakoda]

[While Katara is running her errands, she might see a very confused woman walking around. This is certainly NOT the Southern Water Tribe.]

/SOB - this is going to be horrible

[markofthebrave]

[She does, in fact, see this woman. And for a moment she's struck absolutely still. It can't be. She can't be here. It's another hallucination. It's the Malnosso trying to get to her. It's--]

...Mom?

I kept waffling on what time to put her in but I think I'll go with Saturday evening.

[catchesgoldfish]

[...Okay, it doesn't matter how much younger she is than she remembers her being before which is hard to say because Luceti Valley relations were complicated dude but since Fen's 10 years later than the events of Luceti Valley it's got to be at least that, seeing someone resembling Katara waterbending makes it pretty unmistakeable.

You are being approached by someone wearing, by chance, Water Tribe colours. > FIGHT > PKMN > ITEM > RUN]

...Aunt Katara? [She sounds a bit tentative.]

aww

[markofthebrave]

[Aunt Katara?

Katara slooooowly turns around.]

I'm... Katara?

[That shouldn't have ended on a question, but it did, and why do you look so familiar?]
