[It's the second day of a heatwave, and it's amazing how little things like weather can drive man-eating butterflies, flying trees of burning pointy doom, and missing friends from a Southern Watertibe girl's mind. ...OK, maybe not that last one, but she's feeling this heat in her bones, man, and it's driven her to put on her Fire Nation outfit and just lounge around, trying not to think about the horrible things she's seen week... which of course makes her think about the horrible things she's seen everywhere.

But the best way to get rid of bad memories is to think about good ones... and when that fails, make them.

And so, Katara Has An Idea. She grabs her brother, he agrees, and they make their way to the center of the square and set up a table. It's laden with fruits and sugars and stacks of glasses.

A little bit of waterbending later? And that fountain is now completely iced over, meant to resemble one of their 'Great Wonders of the World', an ice oasis in the middle of the desert.

When they're all set up, Katara makes a voice entry.]

Hey, everyone! Come on to the fountain for free fruit slushies!


[Feel free to come upon them on any part of the process, stop by for a slushie, or take a look at the pretty ice-fountain! Either Sokka, Katara or (eventually, as I have to run out right now) both will answer!]

[markofthewise]

Delicious, in fact! What would you two like on yours?

[thinks about it for a moment] Strawberries?

[justicereigns]

That sounds good for me too as a matter a fact.

[markofthewise]

[Well Sokka will get right on that, using his sword to get the fruit cut.]

So... Smoker. Do you usually take little girls out for snacks?

[justicereigns]

Is that really the best way to be using a sword? [Slight twitch.]

Che.... Sometimes. [Mumbles about a niece back home.]

[watches curiously as Sokka cuts the fruits]

[markofthewise]

[Sokka gives Smoker a weird look and then glances at the sword.] Don't worry, I cleaned it first.

[Why are people so weird about stuff like that?] A niece?

[justicereigns]

Aren't you worried about damaging the sword?

And yeah. Blonde curls. About eight now. Her name's Carol. Back in my hometown. I haven't seen her in a while though.

[still watching then something bugs her] Why is slushie-man using a sword and not a knife?

[markofthewise]

[He frowns at them both as he scoops the strawberries into the blender.]

It's sharp! It cuts things! If it got damaged cutting strawberries, it wouldn't be a very good sword.
