[Okay, so waking up today was weird. She thought it was Saturday, but by the state of the house and where things were... it was actually Monday. Sokka was back - woke up in his own bed, and all, but when Katara went to check on Toph to see if she remembered what happened...
Her room was bare. There was nothing left. Toph was gone.
After stumbling to the wall and leaning on it a long moment to get herself together - is it going to hurt like this every time? - it was time to tell the household.
That accomplished, one of them had to let the town know... and Katara volunteered. She opened up her journal to find a mission summons from the Malnosso. She stared at it a long moment - now? When her housemates need her most they're calling for her now? She shut the journal. She needed a moment to process.
Eventually, she'll open up the journal again. Her voice is a little strained, but steady.]
I'm sorry I don't know any other way to say this but... Manliness Classes are going to have to be canceled again. Toph's gone home.
And... [hhhng, announcing this to the village is so weird, but...] Sokka's back. [There, that's better. Starting with him gives her someplace to stand on.] But I'll be leaving on a mission tomorrow, so... I'll see you all in a week or so.
[So after making this post mid-morning, Katara sets about doing what she needs to do. Sirry Crags, huh? She knows how to handle high altitudes and fighting in snow. She'll just... pop into the Item Shop to double check for a few things, and then hopefully bump into someone willing to help her carry groceries home. It looks like she's going to need to do a week's worth of cooking today.]

[You know how cold it can get up in the sky.]

Hopefully I won't be gone that long.

Hey, the weather's already getting a little warmer. Who knows. Maybe we'll get an early spring heat wave.
[Pause.] ...I wouldn't mind that. Don't tell the vikings, but I kind of like the warmer weather.

And what do the warriors do when they're not out fighting?
[Maybe they do useful things! Most of the men back home did. There were always hunts to be had or nets to be repaired... except for when they weren't and they just lay around. But that was rare. Life was hard in the South Pole.]
action;
They build things. Repair things. Hunt, and eat, and...drink lots of ale, fish, uh...start brawls, compare scars...all that sort of stuff.
[Is it any wonder Hiccup didn't fit in?]
