Hey, Caesar! Do you mind if I stop by this afternoon? [Because mind or not, she is coming. But before she gets there, if you asked after her while she had eye-mushi and she hasn't spoken to you yet, she's looking for you. She will be all about town, since she doesn't know where some of you live. She also plans on checking in with Sokka and the rest of the Gaang at some point today.]

[And later in the evening, after dinner and far past when she is usually fast asleep, you can find Katara practicing not far from her house. Since Ginko died she's been robbed of her rest - combine that with the draft list being posted and she's decided to cope the only way she knows how - by using the time to find some peace. For that purpose, she is doing a special form. She runs through the first without doing any bending at all. When she repeats it, she bends thin tendrils of water up and around and over, following the movements of her hands - and when one catches her eye she freezes it in place, creating a small practice area of frozen arches and swirls.

They won't last long, especially not in the heat of a summer night. That's not the point. That's not the point at all.]

[He shifts into position and nods.] Bring it on.

[Sokka reacts instantly. He leans in on his right, rolling his shoulder down so the highest ball of ice sails past him. He quickly turns his sword upward, resting his left hand against the side of the blade to brace it against the other two balls that ultimately shatter as they impact the sword.]

[There's not enough sword to block all of those. So he'll just have to cut through them all. Which involves a quick twist to the left while he raises the sword above his head, then brings it down to slice through three off the ice balls, while the other two continue on past him.]
markofthewise: (Really?)

Yeah. You said that. [He's not Aang, Katara. Gawd. Secretly he revels in the praise.]

[He nods at that.] Sounds like a winning strategy to me! Maybe I can ask Master Souji to fight with us.

[... oh, right.]

Well, you know I wake up for training every morning, right? On Monday, Wednesday, and Fridays I train with Okita Souji.
markofthewise: (Of course I am!)

He calls it Tennen Rishin Style. It's a style of fighting from some place called Japan. It's a type of sword fighting intended for use on a battlefield. He's a pretty great fighter. I mean, he's no Piandao, sure. But he knows his stuff.

[He grins at her assessment of things, but quickly is back down to business. He thinks back to the list.]

I know Anise. She was our neighbor back at the old house. I think she can fight. She was riding around on this big... thing during an experiment before you arrived. I know Aerith... she has magic called Materia and fights with a staff. We both know Raine, of course. I know Sonic somewhat. I've talked to Zack and Cloud, never met them personally. And then there's um, Shirley. I kinda told Fenimore I'd be keeping an eye on her, since she can't fight. [Or at least he thinks she can't.]

[Sokka... networks. Or something. Or he just knows a lot of girls. One of the two.]

Yeah. The same Shirley. [That's not weird, right?]
