Oh, wow! *ttly grabbing one. or three.*

[purple_pliers]

Pretty neat, right?

[is flying one of those acrobatic types with two strings, making it somersault]

[pinged4treasure]

You're pretty good at that!

[purple_pliers]

Thanks! It's a little tricky, but not too hard. Want to try?

[hoseb4bros]

Maybe you can show me how to fly one.

[purple_pliers]

Sure! Grab one you like and --

[purple_pliers]

...Katara?

[abandons her kite and runs over to hug her but stops short]

Uh, sorry... do you know me?

[hoseb4bros]

[Hugs her!]

Of course I do.

[Pulls back]

It's great to see you, though, I guess under the circumstances...

[Looks at her]

...Was I gone for longer than I thought?

[makin_you_cry]

[Someone has found a big yellow one and is flying it happily.

Wait. WATCH OUT IT'S GOING TO--

...crash. oops?]

...It crashed.

[purple_pliers]

That's okay, it'll go up again.

[makin_you_cry]

You're sure?

[inspecting it for breakage now. it seems sturdy]

[purple_pliers]

It looks alright. You just have to run with it if you see it dipping like that.

[not_technicolor]

[inspecting them]

What are these?

[purple_pliers]

They're kites. A kind of toy. You fly them.

[not_technicolor]

[picking one up]

...If the wind was strong enough it probably could...

[purple_pliers]

It can, look!

[demonstrating with one of the two-stringed acrobatic types, running to get it in the air and then doing some dives and somersaults when the wind takes it]

[capt_liarpants]

*grabbing the BIGGEST KITE oh yeah*

[purple_pliers]

Wow, nice one!

[capt_liarpants]

Whoever made these, I'm pretty impressed. They seems sturdy!

[purple_pliers]

Yeah, they're really good. I just made a couple, and then they seemed to multiply.
