[The journal begins broadcasting with a whump as it hits the ground and falls open. What comes through is definitely Katara's voice, just - higher.] -- oh no! No nooo no no no!

[And then a crash as the chair she's balancing on tips over, dumping her onto her rear and toppling at her side. The wail that comes through the journal is frustrated.]

I can't reach anything anymore! This loss is stupid!

[Anyone who happens in the kitchen will find her struggling to reach.. everything.]

Fifteen. I had my birthday.

[rappelle.livejournal.com]

[ right... that time thing. ]

Okay, fifteen. In any case, you should milk the cuteness while it lasts.

[waterbends]

How, exactly, am I supposed to milk looking like I'm seven years old?

[rappelle.livejournal.com]

If they play their cards right, kids get away with stuff.

[waterbends]

Why would I want to get away with anything?

[rappelle.livejournal.com]

Because you're a kid. Keep up, Katara.

[waterbends]

No, I know - but what would I want to do? I don't like causing trouble, even if I can get away with it.

[rappelle.livejournal.com]

You don't have to cause trouble. Just do kid stuff. It was only seven years ago, right?

[waterbends]

I used to build snow forts with Sokka.

[She is lacking both snow and Sokka.]

[rappelle.livejournal.com]

Go find some other kid and.. make a leaf fort. Get creative.

[waterbends]

Don't be ridiculous.

[rappelle.livejournal.com]

Fine. Be a spoilt brat.

[waterbends]

Is everything really alright out there, Jet?

[rappelle.livejournal.com]

[ he'll tell her about the monster later; doesn't make any sense letting her get worried now. ]

Yeah. Things got weird for a while, but the entire group managed to get back together. You should use your waterbending, by the way.

[waterbends]

Use my waterbending for what?

And come find me, the minute you get home. Promise me.

[rappelle.livejournal.com]

To get things down from high places. I will not come see you the minute a get back. How about a few hours after?

[waterbends]

My waterbending is kind of - spotty. I can't control it as well.

And excuse me? Why not?

[rappelle.livejournal.com]

[ he pauses to chuckle at her tiny bossy voice. ]

Do you want to see me that badly?

[waterbends]

[-he's on that expedition. It's dangerous. Katara huffs and folds her arms, even if he can't see it.]

Yes.

[rappelle.livejournal.com]

[ ffft. just don't emote over the monster blood on his clothes; he hasn't showered in like a week. ]

Sweet of you. There'll be a knock on your door no later than an hour after I get back. How is that?

[waterbends]

Fine. That's good enough, I guess.

[Still puffing a little unhappily.]

I'll see you soon?

[rappelle.livejournal.com]

Two days at the most.
