[If you're passing by the Seventh Heaven after school today, you will see that once Katara has obtained her hot chocolate and window seat, she's busy flipping through her journal. At a certain point, she'll flip back and forth repeatedly with a poleaxed expression that finally fades into something pensive ( Read more... )

[Yukito was just heading back toward the kitchen at Seventh Heaven, going in to work before people started to show up for dinner, but pauses when he notices the girl staring at her journal like that. After half a second's pause he moves over toward where she's sitting, with a grin both very friendly and a touch shy.]

I beg your pardon, but... is something wrong?

[action] markofthebrave February 8 2011, 04:27:16 UTC

[Katara blinks and looks up. Oh - an unfamiliar face. She smiles a little.]

Oh - no. I just - realized I'd forgotten something. Thanks for asking.

[action] winged_moon February 8 2011, 04:36:57 UTC

[Yukito nods; he can understand that, and since nothing seems to be wrong he won't pry. He does, however, grin and gesture toward the hot chocolate.]

Well, if you needed anything else, let me know? I'm working in the kitchen tonight.

[action] gah, so many edits, sorry markofthebrave February 8 2011, 04:46:14 UTC

[Well, isn't today just full of surprises. She didn't know Sanji had 'hired' other cooks!]

Oh, you're working here? Wow - I didn't know that. I'm Katara, I'm friends with Sanji.

It wouldn't surprise me at all if time works...differently in Luceti. Don't ask me how, but I'm sure it's possible.

[Someone taking her literally? Unexpected. Still.]

You think so? I mean, I can kind of understand how things stay still at home while we're here... or not understand it, but believe it. But it's not like time can really be different... right?

[Voice] suitedforcoffee February 8 2011, 04:49:58 UTC

[Ianto has some experience with taking time shenanigans literally. Not as much as some other people he could name, but he's more suspicious of such things than the average person.]

Of course it can. If I've learned anything about time, it's that time is both subjective and not necessarily linear. Not always. Time can be rewritten, or undone entirely, if you're not careful.

You say that things "stay still" at home while we're here, but they don't, not really. Time doesn't stop. What the Malnosso are doing is taking a person from one moment in time, and then returning that person to the moment directly after, so their absence goes unnoticed. A person's individual timeline can veer off so they spend years here, and then they can be inserted seamlessly back into the time stream they were stolen from. Like a loop in a thread.

The Malnosso have plainly demonstrated that their technology is capable of manipulating time, so what's to say they aren't manipulating it here, within their own territory?

[Uh...

Please hold.]

[BAMF! Katara, you have your first stalker of the day on the roof. He watches her for just a bit. Usually her forms are so much smoother, but for some reason she keeps stopping. What's up with that?]

markofthebrave February 8 2011, 04:52:10 UTC

[BAMFs make a distinct noise, and it is not forest-like. So Katara glances over to the sound. Sadly, you blend in pretty well with the general darkness thing winter has going, Kurt, and since she's been looking in the lamplight, she doesn't see much.]

Hello? Is someone there?

onebluebamf February 8 2011, 04:53:59 UTC

[Oh. So much for being sneaky. He bounds off the roof and lands in a crouch.]

Just me, Katara. How's it hanging?

markofthebrave February 8 2011, 05:04:11 UTC

[DUDE! You do not jump towards a waterbender from the dark - Katara immediately returns to a familiar form and LAUNCHES ICE AT YOUR FACE.

...not to worry, if for some reason he doesn't BAMF, she'll catch it in time.]

[An evening out is just what Alexis needed today. It hasn't been a bad day -- not at all -- but... Well, Luceti isn't New York and, every now and again, Alexis begins to feel the sheer weight of this not being anything like home pressing down on her.

She goes a different way than she normally does and it's the familiar figure she spots in the corner of her eye that has her going out of her way. Katara is a friend; Alexis' mouth curves into a genuine smile -- a smile that becomes a look of awe as she sees what Katara is actually doing.

She'd say something if words weren't completely caught in her throat.]

markofthebrave February 9 2011, 04:17:39 UTC

[Don't mind her, Alexis. She'll just keep working her way through this form. It's Southern Water Style, so she's concentrating on it very hard, learning as she goes.]

redheaded_rock February 9 2011, 04:31:23 UTC

[Alexis doesn't interrupt. In fact, she's rather wrapped up watching Katara work with the water. It's amazing. Alexis takes a few steps back, hoping she's not in the way, and... just watches.]

markofthebrave February 9 2011, 20:38:14 UTC

[No way are you in the way, Alexis. You are much less in the way than certain others, in fact. But she'll glance up and over eventually.]

Oh - hey, Alexis!

I don't think time passes any differently here, but it certainly feels that way. I hadn't even realized that I've been here for almost a year until someone asked me a few days ago.

[Video] markofthebrave February 9 2011, 03:51:05 UTC

[Oh.]

You too, huh?

[Video] orchidsandfire February 12 2011, 07:59:52 UTC

It will be a year in two months. How long have you been here?

[Video] markofthebrave February 13 2011, 03:22:01 UTC

A year today. [That's so weird to say.]
