[Stirring awake, the first thing she notices is that it's cold -- and it's not cold in the fire nation. Glancing up and around there are snowflakes all around her... and no one in her group.] Aang? Sokka? Toph?

Where are my clothes? [Shuddering, she rubs her arms together.]

[Time to get a little louder now, stomping around, and where is the fire and why is she in a forest?] Toph? Aang? Sokka!? This isn't funny!

Ow! What? What is this? [The sound of turning pages. She'll close it and start looking around in a minute for some shelter and her friends, not necessarily in that order. This Southern Watertribe girl is not about to get frostbite in some strange forest just because she woke up in weird clothes with no shoes.]

If anything, she's sharing with you. Aren't you siblings? But yeah, I think a new house is in order, especially if Aang's going to get himself nabbed. Or anyone else. Actually, it's pretty creepy how we're almost all together now.

[One thing guaranteed to shift Katara's focus from herself? Aang being in danger.] That can't happen. The world needs him! Even if -- all that stuff happened which you said happened. He's the Avatar.

Do you guys remember anything before you got taken? Maybe there's some way we can warn him...

[Sokka shrugs.] You, me, Zuko, and Aang have been here. Azula too. We all were sent home and apparently none of us remembered it. If Aang shows up, I don't think it's going to change things at home. [It's one of those things he's spent a lot of time dwelling on. Also a reason he likes to keep busy so he doesn't have to. Nothing like knowing that anything you do is absolutely meaningless.]

Some guy told me I've been here, too. I don't know when that was supposed to be- when back home, not when here. When here was months and months ago, but who knows when they nabbed me last time. [Something she doesn't really like to think about, too.]

[Katara's not sure yet if she's relieved or really creeped out by this. On the one hand - that means that everything back home will be all right. On the other... any one of them could be anywhere, hurting, and she'd never know. No. This is not going to be on her list of favorite things.] Oh.

[Silent trudging forward] ...that doesn't make any sense. [Shivers] And what was Tormod talking about -- other worlds?

People here are from completely different worlds where they have weird creatures like badgers and ducks. Some of the places are even weirder than that.

Sokka, they have badgers and ducks here. And they talk.

But one thing that's really weird is that our world is the only one with bending. I've had to explain it waaaay too many times.

[Different worlds. Like... the spirit world? Maybe there was still some way to warn Aang, maybe he could even--] Wait. You mean like badgermoles and turtleducks, right? Except they talk?

[She turns to look at Toph] Tormod said that his world had elements too -- but they were really weird. They had fire and wind and thunder... but he said he had to use a stave to work with them. Whatever that is.

Kind of like those, yeah. But with the talking. You have no idea how awkward that makes hunting. [Someone is very bitter about not getting to kill animals for the past two months.]

Staves are sticks! Only... magical, or something. [He shrugs. Basically he sees them all the time in the smithy.]

And they're not badgermoles, they're just...badgers. Badgers, ducks, rabbits. FREAKY animals like that.

[Magical sticks. Wings. Rabbits.] This place is crazy!

How big is this town, anyway? How many people have they kidnapped?

Edited 2010-02-10 00:14 (UTC)

There's at least two hundred people here. Maybe three.

And they take more every month.

...we've got to figure how they're bringing people here and stop them.

We've... kind of been working on that. Turns out taking down bad guys you never, ever see is really hard.

Yeah. Especially since they're all behind the unbreakable barrier. Which, by the way...is unbreakable. And yes, we tried that, too.

...oh. [She chews this over for a bit.] There's got to be a way!

How about we focus on clothes first? The plaza is just ahead.

Oh, yay. Clothes.

[Shiver] Clothes would be good.

[Don't say it, Katara. Don't ask about your mother's necklace. It's not important in comparison to all this.] We're not going to have to 'liberate' them from any clotheslines, are we?

Nah. Whatever you were wearing last will be in the clothes shop. For free. [Sokka pulls back his coat to reveal his Water Tribe clothes.] See?

Pretty much. They even had my earthrumble belt and my space rock bracelet there. I don't know why they don't just leave your clothes on you, though.

Seriously, that's just rude. And stupid, if they're going to dump you in the middle of a forest during winter.

Actually they dumped me inside a house. Next to my clothes. I guess they just like me. [And now they're at the shop.] Ladies first.

That means you first, Sokka.
