[Even Katara can only deny the effects of the dreams so long. It wasn't so bad at first when they were just vivid and of a different Luceti... but this other world, with these strange people she feels connected to, and the strange consistency of them, as if they were actually telling a story ( Read more... )

chickening out of written, messing with a little girl's dream, love - it seemed like only yesterday, out and about, run into her anywhere, filters make the world go round, fix what you can, nightmares and daydreams, au! not fun, life is so simple here, practice practice practice, message in a bottle

[Hmm, he can detect something in her voice, in just the way she says that. It's worrisome.]

I can be home in about an hour. It that good for you?

[Filtered] markofthebrave April 27 2011, 21:47:32 UTC

['Home.' Did he mean their apartment or his house? Was this something she wanted to talk to him about where Suki and the kids could walk in... or even their dad?]

How about I meet you by the smithy and we walk back then?

[If it's silly, then they can just keep walking. If not, they can stop along the way...]

[Filtered] markofthewise April 27 2011, 22:39:11 UTC

Sure, we can do that. [That does suggest she wants to speak somewhere a little more... private, after all.]

It's important, right? [It probably is. It's just a matter of whether he should finish what he's doing and then meet her or just put it aside from now.]

[Filtered] markofthebrave April 27 2011, 23:31:51 UTC

It's not an emergency or anything, but... yeah, it's important. It's about these dreams.

Tell me when and where.

[Filtered] markofthebrave April 27 2011, 23:12:24 UTC

[...he sounds so serious.]

After dinner okay with you? I don't want to take you away from work or anything. We can meet by the middle bridge.

[Filtered] burningdownfate April 28 2011, 01:36:58 UTC

[It's been a long day, Katara.]

Yeah, that's fine. It'll give me a little time to finish up a couple things.

[Filtered --> Action] markofthebrave April 28 2011, 01:56:56 UTC

All right - 7:30. I'll see you then.

[And she closes the journal with a brief smile at him before continuing on her day. She doesn't bother to do more than the most basic freshening up before meeting him at the bridge later.]

heh, lemme know if this is ok one_green_eye April 28 2011, 00:09:07 UTC

[that's funny. Because when he was looking at his journal, sitting around somewhere outside, he thought a message briefly blinked into life, filtered to him. But then it was gone. Hmmmmmm

Oh well.

He's going out today, as usual, but not into the forest. Those things are asking for trouble. He skirts it, to keep tabs on the growth on the edges-- especially medicinal things. But maybe he'll catch her on her way back.]

seems OK to me! markofthebrave April 28 2011, 01:45:41 UTC

[Looking for trouble, you say?
>>

Mebbe. She shifts her yari on her back and raises her hand in greeting.]

Hey, Ginko.

one_green_eye April 28 2011, 01:47:30 UTC

Hey. [glances around]

You out here by yourself?

markofthebrave April 28 2011, 02:02:18 UTC

[...and what is that supposed to mean?]

Yeah. You?

[Because at least she's carrying her great big honking stick with a sharp pointy thing attacked.]

[If she does make it into the forest, she's in luck. There's one Beasties sniffing around on the ground, and a second trying to climb into a tree after something.]

[Action] markofthebrave April 28 2011, 06:08:36 UTC

[Katara sees them and pauses before she rushes in. Two would be a bit much. But why would one be climbing a tree, unless...

She gives a loud shout-]

Hey!

[And the Beasties both turn towards her for a moment before continuing on as they were.]

[Action] its_troublesome April 28 2011, 06:35:23 UTC

Oh, that got them.

[Familiar voice might be sounding just a little annoyed. It's not your fault, Katara, honest. It's just a little irksome, getting chased into a tree by a pair of overgrown hairless wonders.

Said hairless wonders continue their attempt to sniff him out, the one stuck on ground level circling the tree.]

[Action] markofthebrave April 28 2011, 07:01:44 UTC

[...sometimes she really hates being right.]

It got you talking, anyway.

[And she puts two fingers in her mouth and makes a piercingly loud whistle. The Beastie attempting to climb the tree loses its hold and falls to the ground... they appear to be realizing that they are going to need to deal with this noise-maker, and the one which fell down begins to pad over to her.

...still not overly threatening, but low to the ground...]

And if you were planning on doing anything other than hide in a tree, now's a good time.

[While they're separating and all.]

“Katara? Hey, can I talk to you for a second?”

[There's an awkward pause. It isn't like Jet to not be using video]

“...L- Zuko's not with you is he?”

[Audio] markofthebrave April 29 2011, 02:38:46 UTC

[...well, this was unexpected. Why did he want to make sure Zuko wasn't there?]

No, I'm by myself. What's up?

[Audio] paranoidpatriot April 29 2011, 03:05:06 UTC

"He's been acting kind of funny lately."

[Yes. It has to be Zuko's fault. Jet can't pinpoint why, but every day he's been waking something has been very off about the other being there. Something wrong. He- he wouldn't feel so threatened unless the guy did something, right?]

"...I'd stay away from him, Katara; he's dangerous. Whatever shifts going down must be getting to him."

[Topic change go-]

"You been keeping safe from those monsters roaming town?"

[Audio] markofthebrave April 29 2011, 03:41:51 UTC

[Wait a minute, wait a minute -] What do you mean, 'he's dangerous?' How can you say that? You've known him your whole life.

[Unless... has Jet been having dreams too?]
