[Action, Voice] .012

[Painstakingly filtered to the Straw Hats, Toph, Zuko, Sokka, Ginko, Allen Walker, Nash, Smithy Workers, and Caesar Silverberg, even though she's still a bit mad at him. 72 percent.]

If anyone knows how to make the filter higher, I'd really appreciate it.

Someone arrived from my world today who it would be a good idea to be cautious around. Her name is Azula, and she is a very powerful firebender who can also bend lighting. I don't know what she'll do without a Fire Nation here, but I can bet that it won't be anything good.

Don't trust her.

[And so after stalking Azula's entrance into Luceti and conversation with Roku, Katara decides that about now is a good time to interrupt them. So she will gingerly make her way over to where Roku is.]

Hey, Roku? Can I get your help with something?


ETA: And after about 2 minutes, that filter will have been bumped up to 100 via Ginko.

[Ginko will be upgrading that filter to 100%, if you give him a moment and Sanji doesn't fix it first. His voice is a little tired. ]

Tightened that filter.

More trouble already, Katara? [a pause. In a lower tone.] Is this...what you meant before?

[Unhackable]

[markofthebrave]

Thanks. How are you feeling?

Um, it seems like it. I don't know. Seeing Azula was never a good thing. And what do you mean?

[Unhackable]

[one-green-eye.livejournal.com]

I'm fine. [And a smile to prove it. Nothing like sleep and a good meal.]

You mentioned her to me before-- after the electric power started running through the houses.

You said you were afraid she could turn this place "into a war zone"....? [a pause] Is she so dangerous? [he'll be stalking that entry now, thanks. There's a lot he's missed in the journals.]

[well, since the green-eyed bastard beat him to filtering, Sanji will nod at the warning]

Azula? Alright, Katara-chan.

[Unhackable]

[markofthebrave]

No problem.

How are you feeling? How's Nami?

[Unhackable]

[oda-hates-me.livejournal.com]

... She's been through a lot. [Katara saw, after all] But Nami-san will be okay with Chopper watching over her - just give her a few days to rest up.

[flamedork.livejournal.com]

Sure! What do you need help with?

[markofthebrave]

[Uh... great. What DOES she need help with?]

If you could grab me a bowl of soup, that would be really great. I don't want to have to stretch up for the bowls.

[flamedork.livejournal.com]

Uh, all right.

So, you know we have someone else who just came from our world? I think she's from your time.

[Ugh, this chick with her firebending shit again. But the lightning...he does not like the sound of that.]

Lemme guess. Burns people for fun.

[Katara could have very happily spent the rest of her life never talking to Raphael again. But Sokka told her to include him, and so she is going to do her best to be fair, to all involved.]

I don't know that she does it for fun. I know that she does it without regret. There are a lot of ways to hurt someone. Fire's only one of them.

[Voice]

[meanandgreen.livejournal.com]

[Yeah ditto. But in a twisted way, Raph sees this as a way of proving he's not scared of her, and won't take her crap lying down.]

No way, really? Ain't you just fulla new information.

[There's a magnificent eyeroll to top off that sarcasm.]

This time, try answerin' without pointin' out the obvious. How dangerous is she?

[latkje]

Without a Fire Nation?

[Filtered]

[markofthebrave]

Azula is the princess of the Fire Nation.

[Filtered]

[latkje]

And a skilled leader?

[nowordsrequired.livejournal.com]

[He hacked that filter juuust before it got bumped up because the mun fails. After hearing through the grape vine that Roku is here, he's been worried about more Fire Nation people showing up - especially now that Jet is here.]

[And Princess Azula is not off limits like her brother.]

[Thanks for the heads-up, Katara. He won't be saying anything, of course, but he already knows Jet is going to be all over this if/when he finds out. And seeing as it's not a debate whether or not Azula is Fire Nation, he might be too.]

Thank you for the warning.

Will you be all right?

[Filtered]

[markofthebrave]

Oh yeah. We can handle Azula. She's no where near on Aku's level of power.

But she is very, very tricky. So we wanted to let you guys know.

How are you doing, Allen?

[outwalks.livejournal.com]

I suppose that's one good thing. . .

I'm fine! What about you?

[filtered]

[markofthebrave]

Who are you?

[Hrm. As a strategist, Caesar is usually a neutral party, so to be warned about someone like this is kind of strange to him. Then again, if she was warning him, it was probably because...

He doesn't really know what to say. So he replies simply-]

Uh... noted.

[filtered]

[markofthebrave]

[...Checking... yup. Still ticked off.]

Good.

[mydearapple.livejournal.com]

[Short and sweet, huh? That was weird. Then again, it probably wasn't any of his business, and it was better not to get involved, so he'll leave it at that.]

Right.
