[Days 1-2]
[The experiment catches up with Katara slowly - first through teleportation, then through the advent of (thought bubbles)]

[Day 3]
Meet the bitty:

[She's been in Luceti for two years now, along with her much older brother Sokka. She's totally adapted and probably playing hide-and-seek. Warning: She's also still teleporting.]

[Days 4-6]
[More thought bubbles. More transportation. Katara is starting to get very tired and frustrated at this point due to lack of sleep and various emotional issues. She keeps popping up in the most inconvenient places! Sorry about that...]

[Days 7-8]
[Today, Katara woke up a bit different: she has been AU'd to another world, that of the Konoha ninja (complete with forehead protector!). She chalks waking up in a strange bedroom to the experiment that's been going on the past couple of days and ninja!vanishes into the dawn - she'll apologize later. She'll do her best to move back in to her regular apartment and keep to her regular schedule - a few classes at school (despite having told Raine she would not be in attendance that week - and depending on if school is in session) - practice in the forest, climbing on some trees; and making dinner on Floor 8 of Community Building 1, where she has claimed the sole empty apartment.

The next day, she decides to take a break from her regular training to practice an art more specific to kunoichi: Ikebana. At around six in the evening, Katara heads down to the flower shop. After gathering her materials, and dressing for the occasion, Katara heads out behind her apartment complex to make the best use of the natural light to form her arrangements.]

[She rolled her eyes.]

Now why didn't I think of that?

It's okay, that's what I'm here for.

[She rolled her eyes and abruptly dropped down, using the curve of her knees to maintain her hold.]

[You know, he doesn't think he's ever seen the other Katara climb a tree. They should do that sometime. He thinks he really would hate this place if it didn't have trees like this.

He thinks then that the Katara he knows probably feels the same way about snow and ice.]

Hmm.

[She puts her hand to her chin, still hanging upside-down.]

I guess it looks like a pineapple from this angle too.

[.....]

That's not a cloud.

Sure it is. It's right up there.

[She points.]

[NUH-UH, HE KNOWS THAT YOU MEANT.]

That's a baby octopus.

Nope, it looks like a pineapple.

[She releases her hold, flips midair, and lands on her feet in a crouch before grinning.]

A genius once said that the great thing about clouds is that they look different to everyone.

He was never very good at winning arguments.

[She straightens up.]

No one can be good at everything.

[He cocks a finger in the air - truth.]

[She flicks an obvious glance at his feet.]

So what now?

That's up to you, I'd say.

I'm thinking we should head back before we need to explain what happened to your feet to some medic.

[Scarier things do not exist.]

Ino couldn't find it in her heart to murder to me, really.

[But he pushes himself up now.]

So I guess that means you never became one?

[She glanced over at him in surprise.]

I thought about it, but I had - other focuses.

Probably missed the wave where everyone was getting into it too.

[Well. The girls anyways.]

True. All those slots were full up.

Not that there aren't other jutsu to use. Suiton?

[Just guessing.]

[She slanted him a look.]

I'm guessing you're not saying this because you suddenly remembered how impressed you were at my exam.

Tch. Like I'd have been visibly impressed. [Code for: yes, he does find Katara's waterbending impressive, and in his would it would've been something.] They pay us to look bored. Why do you think they wanted to hire me?

Really? I didn't even know they paid you.

It's definitely not volunteer work.

[Just. Saying.]

No, I thought it was mandatory - for glory and honor and all that. One of those back-handed "privileges."

Day 8!
