house 6!

[threeswordsoul]

[Zoro rolls over in his sleep, and does not encounter an armful of sleeping Wife. Naturally, this doesn't cause him the slightest disturbance, seeing as how she's nearly always up before he is. Speaking of which, it's too early to be up, anyway - time for some more Z's.

Zzzzzz and shifting over again and - falling right off the edge of a way-too-narrow bed. Zoro blinks fuzzily, prone on the ground and still tangled in his sheets, then the room comes into focus.

It's not his. Well, his swords are right here, and as he looks around contemplatively from his low vantage point, he can see some random weights, boots, and bottles of booze stashed under his bed...hallmarks of his old bachelor pad, but not things that would be scattered around these days. (Except for the booze.) And the treacherous narrow bed is too small to comfortably share.

...Time-travel? Shifts throwing people around to random places? Zoro hauls himself up and snags his journal, flipping it open as he heads out of the room to see just where he's ended up, and to find

[It's a bit later that Katara gets around to the journals - had to help the brother find his baby girl, you see. And figure out why on earth all her stuff was here.]

Hey, Zoro. I wound up at Sokka's--

[markofthebrave]

[Everyone seems to be waking up in different places today, which means that Zoro woke up in a different place which means... crap.]

[markofthebrave]

--where are you? Is Nami with you?

[At least her daughter-in-law has a good sense of direction.]

[threeswordsoul]

[A little of the unconscious tension goes out of Zoro's shoulders hearing her voice - she sounds fine, normal - but it only manifests as a brief pause and a steadier voice.] I haven't seen her. Don't recognize the place I'm in, either. [the sound of a door opening - he's exploring, not leaving. (YET.)

And she's at Sokka's - not so weird.] ...People just got moved around?

[markofthebrave]

That seems like it. We had to find Fenimore. She's fine. [...oh no, she heard that door.]

All my stuff got moved too, but everyone else was right there. [And. Zuko was there too. But considering how her son feels about her attempting to have any semblance of a love life, she leaves this out. For now.]

Are you in a house or an apartment? What does it look like?

[threeswordsoul]

Hnnn. [The kids got moved around randomly, too, huh.] It'll be chaos for a while sorting everything out.

...And it's a house. It looks like a house. [He's so helpful and descriptive. Briefly ducking his head into a room, which...has a bunch of stuff he doesn't recognize, but no occupant. Somebody lives here. But it doesn't really matter.] If you need help [ie finding other people or moving your things back] I'll stop by Sokka's later, but if you're all alright I'm going to look around.

[Ie find out just where the hell Nami wound up, but he's not about to say that.]

[markofthebrave]

[...

Patented Patient Tone is go:] What does it look like outside the house, Zoro?

[Because it's almost time for the festival and like hell is she letting you get lost all week and miss the whole thing. The kids will all be so disappointed.

That's it. Next year she's giving in and letting Sokka give you a bell.]

[threeswordsoul]

Tch. [8|| Why do you keep harping on that, geez, it's like you don't trust him to find his way around, he's an adult now, y'know, he can take care of himself-brb sticking his head out front door.] There's a mikan tree and a sakura tree in front, and a road.

[markofthebrave]

Oh good. I know that house. [And she's on the move.]

Why don't you wait there for me, I'll be over in a few minutes.

[That 'why not' is a code for 'If you leave without me you're going to have to explain it.']

[threeswordsoul]

Hnn, fine. [He doesn't see why, but he can read Katara's 'codes' by now. 8| He'll look around the house some more instead of leaving...though he'll be pinging her back soon enough.]

Katara, I heard from Nami.

[markofthebrave]

Oh good.

[Don't tell me that means you've gone off looking for her.]

Where is she?

[threeswordsoul]

On a boat in the middle of the ocean. [His tone conveys some degree of the wtf over that. Then he hesitates, because even after all these years he sometimes hits a stumbling block about asking favors; but it's family - it's Katara, and it's Nami, and it's not something he can do himself.] She can't sail it - would you mind coming and seeing if you could bring her in?

[markofthebrave]

...in the middle of the ocean?

[markofthebrave]

Sure, I can do that. [Aww. It's moments like this where she's so proud of how far he's come. It fills her with a warm sense of love and appreciation.]

I'll meet you at that house and we'll go over to the teleporters together.

[threeswordsoul]

Right. ...Thanks. [If he were anybody else, he'd have stuck a 'Mom' at the end of that. But she's knows the sentiment is there, right?

He'll be waiting out front. o/]
