[On her way back from slipping a fresh Thank You note underneath Allen Walker's door, Katara sees a shiny blue disk.

Ooooooo. Shiny.

She reaches out to touch it - and is whisked up and away! Her journal tumbles opened as she fights to control it, and she's soon laughing with pure joy. This is so fast! It's awesome!]

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! [More laughter. Okay, phasing through things is kind of weird, so she's going to try to steer this manic thing out of the village and - oh no. Rock. ROCK! Why isn't it phasing!!

She tumbles out of the thing, head over heels into the river and starts laughing helplessly. She tries to get back to her feet and falls back in. The journal's landed open safely on the bank, and is recording her attempts to stand up straight.]

Oh man. [Splash.] Wow.

[Later, she throws up a small filter to Riku]

Hey - you doing OK?

Better than I have been, at least.

[Filtered]

[markofthebrave]

That's good. [Pause.] I heard she came back.

Is everything... okay?

[stilldontgotit.livejournal.com]

[Give him a minute to respond.]

Well, it's not like it's bad. Just... complicated, I guess.

[Filtered]

[markofthebrave]

...I bet.

[Pause] If you need to talk about it...

[Filtered]

[stilldontgotit.livejournal.com]

I just wish I could've done more.

[Filtered]

[markofthebrave]

Done more? What do you mean?

[Filtered]

[stilldontgotit.livejournal.com]

I only hit her once, you know.

[He chanced the journal again. Don't ask him why. Boredom will do strange things to people. When it's evident that nothing... untoward is going to jump out at him, he starts poking through to see what's going on.

Weird stuff. More weird stuff. Weird stuff. A familiar voice screaming and laughing.

Yeah, that'll make him stop. At least there's laughing. He's still a little hesitant to say anything. You know, just in case her sense of humor is more warped than his lieutenant's.]

Do I even want to know?

[markofthebrave]

[Splash, splash - slipFALL - more laughing. Eventually she'll make her way to the shore.]

Hitsugaya! [She manages to bend the water off of herself and sits down with a WOOSH to pick up her journal.] There are these blue disks in town - you've got to try one of these things.

[likeafirework.livejournal.com]

[Okay, now he knows she's delusional. He's not trying anything in this town, least of all today.]

Seemed safer to stay inside. [Pause. Oh, damn his curiosity.] What do they do?

[markofthebrave]

They turn into this - kind of cart! And it moves really, really fast and you pass through buildings and people and everything!

[likeafirework.livejournal.com]

[She sounds positively excited over this. Interesting. Maybe she's delusional.]

And then dump you in the river?

[markofthebrave]

Well. There was this rock... it must stop passing through things so that you can get out, and that's why it crashed.

[Voice]

[chaincutter]

Are you- are you alright?

[Voice]

[markofthebrave]

I'm [Splash. Laugh.] fine!

[Voice]

[chaincutter]

[Yeah. He's not sure what to make of this at all.]

What was that?

[Voice]

[markofthebrave]

I'm not sure - [forcing her way out of the water now... sorta. Or just falling forward on the bank. Yeah. That sounds about right.] - but it was fast.

[Voice]

[chaincutter]

You don't know what it was?

[Voice]

[markofthebrave]

No - well, maybe. [Moving to sit next to down next to her journal now.] There was a shiny blue disk...

[Sokka missed the main event, but he did get to see her coming out the water.]

I know it's hot, Katara, but really? And in your clothes?

[Action]

[markofthebrave]

[Why you patronizing-

-such a shame you interrupted her just as she was bending the water off of herself. She aims it towards you in retaliation...

...and misses. Because she's dizzy, and you are kinda blurry.]

Woah boy.

[Sitting down now. Whee! The world is spinny!]

[Action]

[markofthewise]

[Sokka watches the water soar by him and then turns back to her. Okay...]

You feeling okay there?

[Action]

[markofthebrave]

Just a little dizzy. [The rush is starting to wear off now, so she'll just be... shoving her head down by her knees and waiting for it to pass. At least she's not seeing any friendly giant mushrooms?]

[Action]

[markofthewise]

... right. [Well, whatever. He flops down on the ground next to her, folding his legs underneath him.]

Have you been drinking something?

[Action]

[markofthebrave]

What?! [She jerks her head up and is instantly dizzy again.]

No! That's your job.
