[Action, Voice] .006

[markofthebrave]

[After a good cry, some good advice, and throwing down with the whole of Luceti against Aku the other day, Katara is feeling much more like herself. And she is on a mission. She can be found mid-afternoon heading towards whatever store in Luceti sells paint.

Fire Nation Red in her living room? Not anymore!]


Let's see... I guess I could go blue with green accents... or maybe something even more neutral? Maybe find a cream... No, no orange, it's too close to red...

[Katara has never had a chance to play with paints and colors before! She's a little lost with all the options. She just knows that she wants to make their shared space an open, welcoming one, one that represents all of them and even the one that they're missing and one which won't remind her of that stupid experiment's 'misplaced decimal.' But she has come far enough that she doesn't want it to just chase out Zuko either, although she is perfectly happy never seeing him again. Clearly, the girl is expecting too much out of paint. Someone help?]

Why not blue?

[voice]

[markofthebrave]

[Oh great. She knows that voice. It's the girl who wants to fight her friends.]

It's not exactly the 'all nations welcome' look I'm going for.

[voice | Mercury

[no-use-running.livejournal.com]

All nations?

[voice]

[markofthebrave]

Mmm. Blue tends to remind people of the Watertribes. I'd rather our living room be less... exclusive, I guess. Though this navy color is nice...

[foodovermystery.livejournal.com]

What are you doing?

[markofthebrave]

[You get a smile!] Oh hey, Yako. I'm trying to decide on a paint color. I'm repainting the living room.

[foodovermystery.livejournal.com]

Hm. Well, red's out... what do the other people living with you like? A neutral color might be best, because it's, well, neutral.

[markofthebrave]

Well, Toph's blind, so she won't really care one way or the other. Sokka... painted his last house purple which... hmm... maybe if it was lighter... but I think that pretty much means his opinion doesn't count. And Zuko... [She'll tense a little when she says his name.] has two rooms which are red already. No more red.

[goldenglasses]

What's wrong with red?

[Voice]

[markofthebrave]

[Oh hi, man-who-wears-a-giant-red-overcoat.] It's just not exactly an ideal color for a living room.

[Voice]

[goldenglasses]

Hm. [Considers this] Maybe not a bright red at least.

[Voice]

[markofthebrave]

No more red. [Pause.]

...maybe as accent pillows? Argh, this is so frustrating.

[The prospect of color and perhaps painting catches the ear of one little poncle, and - as a painter - she just has to inquire as to what's going on. With a smile, of course, art and painting always puts a smile on her face.]

Are you painting something, miss? I could be of assistance, if you need help with colors.

[Voice]

[markofthebrave]

[Help, yes! Assistance would be good! Don't mind her as her pride won't let her admit that. Have a rueful sort of laugh.]

Yes, I'm going to repaint the living room. I don't think we've met. I'm Katara.

[Voice]

[chiisaichou.livejournal.com]

I'm Miyabi, but you can call me Miya for short, if you like. It's a pleasure to speak with you, Miss Katara. [She bows her head graciously to the little camera in her journal. Good manners make good acquaintances, or so she was taught.]

As for your house...perhaps a soft, light yellow? It'd give the room a bit of brightness, and yellow is supposed to the color that instills happiness.

[Voice]

[markofthebrave]

[Yay, manners! They're so rare in Katara's world.]

It's a pleaure to meet you too, Miya! And yellow instills happiness? Really? That's great! I was just thinking of going with flax...

What sort of colors do you think go with that?

[voice]

[mydearapple.livejournal.com]

Painting, huh?

[voice]

[markofthebrave]

[And that voice is a pleasant surprise! She's happy to hear from you.]

Oh hi, Caesar! Yeah, I'm redoing the living room.

[voice]

[mydearapple.livejournal.com]

[He didn't know he could strike that kind of happiness into people without an experiment! Have a smile.]

Long time no see. So, what color is it right now?

[mikangirl.livejournal.com]

[Oh hai Katara, we need to check up on you.]

What are you doing?

[markofthebrave]

[And the book, it speaks!]

Oh, hi Nami. [That's right, Katara had meant to talk to her about the whole Aku business.] I'm getting ready to do some painting.

[mikangirl.livejournal.com]

Of the house, or something more artistic?

[voice]

[stilldontgotit.livejournal.com]

Let me guess... some kind of art?

[voice]

[markofthebrave]

I'm painting our living room.

[voice]

[stilldontgotit.livejournal.com]

Heh. Sounds like you're having a hard time choosing. You got something specific in mind?
