[Action, Accidental Voice] .014

[markofthebrave]

[Utter doom has managed to hold itself off for the past week, and so today is Katara's first day of school! She's excited and a little nervous, since she's never been to any sort of school before. While preparing and lecturing herself she jostles her journal.]

--vous about. It's going to be just fine. Now where did I put that -- oh. [Someone's just noticed her journal's opened.] Man. I'll be late! [And she shuts the book quickly, not noticing what was recorded and starts on her way.

Of course, her nerves aren't helped by the fact that she hardly slept at all last night. Her room still smells faintly of ash, and the memories that scent triggers aren't pleasant. The nightmares are old ones, and the one she had last night one that she remembered. It had her up in the middle of the night, practicing in their back yard until exhausted.

She's almost tempted to just stay in bed all day, but she told Raine she'd be trying to go to school soon and doesn't want to go back on that. So there she goes, to and from school. So if you're at the school today? Expect a wide-eyed new girl. And if you're anywhere in the center of town after that, expect a slightly dazed one, trying to remember what she has to pick up in the grocery store.]

[Well Sokka doesn't have to wake up early for classes. He goes to the one he wants to. So after a few hours at the smithy, Sokka heads into the magic class early, ignoring anyone who happens to be there, and takes a seat in the back. The teacher isn't in yet, so he just kicks up his feet on the desk next to him, flips open a book on a more interesting subject (automobiles!), and picks at his teeth with a knife. Ladies and gentlemen, the model student.]

[After taking her placement tests that morning, Katara is able to attend the remaining classes. Entering the magic classroom, she spots her brother being his charming self. Will tiredness stop her from walking over and shoving his foot off the desk? No, but the knife in his teeth will.

So she is just going to stand there and loom over him for a moment. Her voice is disgustingly sweet.] This seat taken?

[He's about to snap at whoever it was talking to him... and then, wait. Katara? He removes the knife from his teeth and his eyebrows go up. But... he gets over that. Other people are watching.]

Not really, no. [He doesn't move his feet though, he's comfortable. And this bit about the combustion engine is really fascinating.]

[Minato tends to be punctual, so he's in his seat before most of the other students start arriving. To pass the time he has his headphones on and is scrolling through his playlist, looking for a good song. When Katara enters the room, though, he looks up.]

[markofthebrave]

[Katara has never seen headphones before. Or - this person either. So he gets a wave and a sort of tentative] Hi!

[emp3thy]

[Minato, however, has met Katara(s?) in passing before, so her face is familiar. He raises a hand to return the wave, then takes off the headphones.] Morning.

[It isn't too long before the teacher herself arrives. Looks like a few students beat her to this class, but some of the others are probably taking their time, so it balances out for preparation beforehand.]

[Katara perks up when she sees Raine enter.]

Good morning, Raine! Or now that I'm a student, should I call you 'master?'

[Action]

[wise_maiden]

[Raine's a little distracted this morning, but she smiles when she sees Katara, and shakes her head a little at her question.]

Not at all. If you'd feel more comfortable using a title, however, most students just use 'Professor'.

[Terra's at school as usual, doing her best to be diligent and pay attention. She doesn't talk much during class because of that, but Katara's attendance is noted, and during break, she waves shyly.]

Hello.

[markofthebrave]

[And Katara recognizes Terra - during one of the lowest points in her life at Luceti, Terra had volunteered to help her by sharing her experience with the mallynappings. So when she sees that wave, Katara comes over to greet her.]

Hi! Terra, right?

[esper-flight.livejournal.com]

[Terra nods and smiles warmly.]

That's right. I'm glad to see that you joined the school, too. What do you think of it, so far?

Does she have toast in her mouth and is she going to collide with the main character in her rush?

OOC

[markofthebrave]

Pfffffffffff. No, but she should. XDD

Do me a favor and drop me a line when Katara waterbends next? I want Leto to run into it by accident and be in INCREDIBLE PAIN

[no-use-running.livejournal.com]

[Guess who's at school bright and early? :D]

[markofthebrave]

[Oh great, it's her second favorite psychopath. Maybe she can walk right by? ...Nah.]

Good morning.

[no-use-running.livejournal.com]

[but she's such a nice psychopath!]

Finish the assignments for today?

[Today just happens to be one of the days that Caesar has decided to show up to class! So he'll certainly notice Katara when she walks in, lifting his head slightly from the desk where it was oh-so-comfortably resting. He greets her, even if... things have been kind of strange lately.]

Hey.

[action]

[markofthebrave]

[Oh look, it's Caesar! Wasn't she mad at him about something? ...Ah yes. That. But somehow in the light of Roku burning her room down and having some more time to herself to sort it through, she's not upset about it anymore. After all, the worst possible scenario already happened. And he'd gone on enough times out of the importance of being neutral that... well, it wasn't as if he knew her, not really.]

Hey. [She gives him a little wave.]

[action]

[mydearapple.livejournal.com]

[He nods at that, sitting up a little in his seat.]

I wondered when I'd start seeing you around here.

action - very OK!

[markofthebrave]

[Katara glances up. She's been concentrating very hard, but at the voice she turns over to see a classmate quietly trying to get her attention.]

Yes?

[outwalks.livejournal.com]

Ah—Katara?

[markofthebrave]

[All the nervous energy from being at school has run out, and Katara is currently just staring blankly at a shelf, trying to remember what she'd come in to get. She jumps a little when she hears Allen's voice, and turns to give him a tired smile.]

Oh - hi, Allen! How are you today?
