[Katara hadn't been sleeping well to begin with, the moon was full and bright and her blood was restless - at least, that was her excuse. The truth of the matter was that ever since Masaomi, and then Aang had confessed, she hadn't known peace. It was manifesting in shallow sleep, in more determined than genuine cheer. So when the moon woke her - it was so bright tonight, like one of Luceti's streetlights - she tossed and turned futilely before getting up.
She dressed quietly, making sure to take the 'holy water' waterskin, and walked along the river. Though the way she was feeling, the holy water would be the last recourse if confronted with the vampire. She felt like unleashing the full power of the river on something. Her neck prickled, restless, tense, practically itching for the excuse to focus all her agitation into a fight, a sanctified, no holds barred clash of water and strength and agility, a focus, a clarity so that she wouldn't have to worry about her torn heart, or the hearts of those she loved anymore.
She'd go on a mission, if she thought it would help. But she didn't want to have to kill anyone. And Aang was here. ...and she especially didn't want to have to kill anyone while Aang was here.
Eventually, she reached the Southern Lake and stood, staring at the moon and its reflection for long moments. The serenity of the scene failed to soothe her and with a loud "HAH!" she shifted form and tore a burst of water straight through the surface of the lake until it towered as high as the trees before she abruptly pulled it back and up, catching it before it crested the edge of the lake and turning the raised water into a thousand smaller drops.
She felt a little better, until she noticed all the lakeside creatures she'd stirred to life with her childish display. Lightly ashamed of herself, she moved to sit by one of the slides she and the first Toph had constructed, contenting herself with shattering the lake's serenity with a handful of pebbles every now and again.]
[After a late night out, Katara slept in to nearly noon this Saturday... morningish. It felt good. She didn't have a shift in the Med Lab today, so today was a day for... errands. Study and maybe some time on the koto and running into town to make sure she had as much as she needed for dinner, but... she also had time to address the journal, if she wanted.]
Hey, Luceti - it's a lazy sort of Saturday. Now's a good time to share some famous stories from our worlds, don't you think? Does anyone know any famous adventures? ...or love stories?
[What is love? Baby don't hurt me...]
I know a pretty good one. It takes place in the Earth Kingdom, a long time ago, before there were earthbenders...
[She'll just leave that there, not wanting to spam in case of a lack of interest.
Of course, the chances are also good that one of her housemates or friends may decide to claim her attention for something else entirely. So if anyone wants to do that, or bump into her as she runs to the grocery store, or spy on her while she's playing music, this is a lazy Saturday, come as you are sort of deal.]

Go on. What happened in the earth kingdom?
[Voice]
Well, long ago, when the world was new, there were two villages on either side of a mountain, and they were at war. But one day, a man from the Western village met a woman from the Eastern village at the top of the mountain. They fell in love, but their love was forbidden. If either of the villages found out their secret, they'd lose the one that they loved forever. But their love was strong, and they were determined, so they found a way to be together.

[...She coughs slightly.] What's this story about an Earth Kingdom you mentioned?
[She asks out of curiosity. She can tell hers after.
Also that gives me time to finish making this stuff up since it doesn't get mentioned at all in canon for her people and somehow I've gotten inspired to try to put together a folk song help me.]no subject

[Katara sounds a little distant, it's evident in the tone of her voice, and the overall message she delivered to the villagers. So, Miyabi's voice is a little more hushed this time around, and she moves from her desk back to her bed, to curl up and get comfortable.]
