[ Action, Video ] .053

[markofthebrave]

[Little Bo Peep has lost her sheep and doesn't know where to find them. If you are one of Katara's friends, or if she even knows you by sight, she is going to think you are one of her lost sheep. And she is looking for you! Looking for you in this rather ridiculous outfit. She is looking high! She is looking low! She is looking along the

[Sokka is outside the house, with a small fire lit up in the front yard, and he's standing on side of it, dressed in traditional middle ages pauper clothing, ready to jump over it. He looks determined and is prepping to hop over it.]

[markofthebrave]

Here, sheep, sheep, sheepy - oh, where could they be?

[markofthewise]

[HERE HE GOES! He jumps clean over it! Proud of his accomplishment, but still thinking he can do better, he uses Eferin to make the fire a little more impressive...]

[markofthebrave]

[Yeah. It's a shame that Bo Peep is so horrible at finding her own sheep. She'll just be looking determinedly in the completely opposite direction]

[toujoursfluer]

[ Mr. Prince spots the wayward Peep just outside of the village and feels a little breathless... which has nothing at all to do with jogging to find the source of that dulcet, in-need-of-help, voice]

Hello, I hear you are in need of a sheep finder. [She bows low] May I be of any assistance, Cutie-chan?

[action]

[markofthebrave]

[Your suit and manner are so familiar!

...and in fact, so is your face. She's met previous incarnations of you, Nico Robin.

...which is, apparently, completely irrelevant.]

Oh, would you? I've lost my sheep and I don't know where to find them?

[She clasps her hands and looks up hopefully.

...as some part of her screams in the back of her mind.]

[action]

[toujoursfluer]

But of course. I would be honored to help one so lovely. Let's find them together, ne?

[She smiles and lets the dramatic pause sink in.]

But the ground is rough so feel free to take my hand if you need to steady yourself.

[And she offers her hand in case Cutie-chan wants to take advantage of it right away.]

[action]

[markofthebrave]

[Oh. Well. Normally Katara would just eye that hand and say that she's just fine, thanks.

But Little Bo Peep thinks the offer is sweet.]

That's very kind of you!

[She grasps onto Robin!Prince's hand, though she will likely let go in order to search out shadows and peer over fences and the like.]

Have a wolf?...I have no idea if Bo Peep expects her sheep to speak

[paranoidpatriot]

[A wolf's appetite is never whet in fairytales, so as much as the rest of the town is free for the pilfering, when the temptation of koala sheep, free for the stealing arises, well how can he refuse? Jet throws on a white sheet- ha ha! the perfect disguise! Never mind that Katara likely finds him to be one of her sheep already]

[…The wolf in sheep's clothing slinks closer. So long as he helps her find the rest of that flock, they are as good as his to run off with when she is not looking]

OOC: Jet is still currently under a mallynap effect that forbids him from hiding the truth, so I doubt any evil schemes he plots will get far

sheep can speak! or not speak. She's a bit too fluffy-headed to think just about anything strange

[markofthebrave]

[Bo Peep is rather horrible at finding her sheep.

So even though you'd think a guy in a white sheet would STAND OUT a bit, Katara seems to be far more interested in bending over and examining under the stoop of this porch then. Well. Looking up.]

hehe gotcha! Okay then~

[paranoidpatriot]

[Jet rolls his eyes. Okay, time for the old fashioned approach, he comes close enough to full on tap Katara on the shoulder.]

"Bahhhh, or whatever. Pardon, miss~ but it seems to me like you're having a bit of trouble locating your flock. I could help with that. After all who better to help find your sheep than a wo-'

[Fellow sheep- FELLOW SHEEP!]

"Wo- woooould you look at that!"

[Jet dramaticaly points at the first thing he can think of]

[markofthebrave]

[Katara Peep turns to look at where he's pointing and then looks back at him, confused. And then a smile spread over her face. Such a warm inviting smile.]

Oh, but you're one of my sheep! I didn't recognize you with that silly thing on your head. You need to go home right away.

[markofthebrave]

[ONE OF HER LOST SHEEP!]

Toph! There you are!

[Totally rushing over. Gracefully. In fact, she almost frolics over.]

[markofthebrave]

[Katara pauses.]

Running like what?

[And did her sheep always talk like that?]

[voice]

[keepingitcanine]

[If anything is enough to bring him out of his cursed fairytale life as a street rat, it's Akamaru. One look is all it takes.]

Akamaru! I can't believe-

[And he is now the happiest teenager alive. He knew it! He can't wait to wait to tell all his disbelieving jerk-friends I told you so.]

Ha! I knew it! I just knew he was here!

Hey! Hey! Where'd you find him?

[voice]

[markofthebrave]

[If Katara had any doubt about the dog belonging with this strange new voice, it would be laid to rest at Akumaru's response to the voice in the journal. The dog's ears prick forward and he's instantly on his feet, noising about the journal and nearly knocking Katara over in order to get closer to the voice.

She has to lower her hand in response] woah, easy boy [and she wraps one arm around the dog's neck to the best of her ability just in order to balance herself.]

He was in the forest. [She tilts the book up now, making sure that the speaker can see the both of them. Fortunately, she's changed out of her Bo Peep guard into her normal blue tunic before broadcasting this.]

Do you want to meet up somewhere? I'll be happy to hand him off to you.

[voice]

[keepingitcanine]

The forest? But I freakin' searched that place a thousand times over.

[But he doesn't sound too upset about that. Not now.]

But yeah, tell me where you are now and I'll find you.

[voice]

[markofthebrave]

Well, maybe he just got here? [...] We'll meet you by the southmost bridge, all right?

[Just. Not bringing anyone home while anyone could be experiment-crazy, all right? Plus, meeting by the river means she'll be okay even if this person is crazy-crazy.]
