015 [action/accidental voice]

[After nearly two weeks and no weirdness on his part, Sigmund was starting to think he was going to escape for... however long this was going to last. After all, two weeks seemed to be a long time in Luceti terms. Unfortunately for him, it was not to be ( Read more... )

[Katara happens to be on a search for people she knows - she wants to say hello to them while she's like this - comes upon this scene. A penguin putting groceries in a bag. o_O]

Well, that's not something you see every day.

[The voice might be older, but it should still sound the same. The necklace she always wears is in plain sight too, if... slightly altered. It's now framed with a flat circle of pure gold traced with intricate designs.]

[The penguin is not in the mood to be treated as entertainment, and shuffle-steps around to glare at her with a bunch of grapes held in his beak. But then he tilts his head so he can get a better look at her and, after a moment, sets the grapes down gingerly.]

...Katara.

[ action ] notatearbender December 3 2010, 17:15:06 UTC

[Her eyes widen, not so much that the penguin talks - it was putting away groceries, after all - but that it recognizes her.

She immediately crouches down to be closer to eye-level.]

You know who I am?

[ action ] notsoaringblade December 3 2010, 17:28:31 UTC

[It takes Sigmund a good deal of turning his head back and forth to examine her before he's certain he didn't make a mistake. The world looks a lot different from the viewpoint of a penguin, after all. So different, in fact, that he hasn't realized she's older yet.]

Yes. It's [Humiliating?] Sigmund.

[ action ] I have no icon with enough shock notatearbender December 3 2010, 17:45:59 UTC

[She's been there for long enough that the mention of that name brings back all her memories of redhead named Sigmund.

Mostly, she remembers the mallynapping.]

Sigmund?

[This is... okay, must not laugh, Katara. Must Not Laugh. And drawing on years of diplomatic experiences, she manages to do just that. It doesn't, however, negate the warmth in her tone.] I have to admit, this is not how I remember you.

[ action ] notsoaringblade December 3 2010, 18:04:32 UTC

[Remember? It hasn't been that long. Maybe a month? But he doesn't comment on it and instead puffs himself up briefly and goes back to putting his groceries away again. He has children to feed, after all.]

That is happening. Capell is- [...you know, maybe he shouldn't tell her about Capell.]

[ action ] notatearbender December 3 2010, 18:19:15 UTC

[Capell is still here? She's instantly concerned... and doesn't stop him from putting the groceries back in the bag.

Because it's hilarious. How does he think he's going to carry that?]

Capell is still here? Is there something wrong with him?

[ action ] notsoaringblade December 3 2010, 18:35:44 UTC

[Now he stops and looks up at her, with a bundle of green onions dangling from his beak. Still...? Is this more weirdness?]

He isn't himself.

[ action ] notatearbender December 3 2010, 19:07:06 UTC

That seems to be going around.

[So. Cute.]

...would you like me to help with that?

[ action ] notsoaringblade December 3 2010, 19:26:15 UTC

[...

......

.........

Sure. Fine. He stops fighting with one of the handles on the bag and waddle-steps backward. Then he bows his head down and does a little preening.] If you wish.

[ action ] notatearbender December 3 2010, 19:47:24 UTC

[...Socute!]

But first you have to let me say how good it is to see you again... even if you are a penguin.

[Moving now. Hugging imminent.]

[ action ] notsoaringblade December 3 2010, 19:52:46 UTC

[If she hugs him, he's going to squirm and flail and squawk and-

-...surely he's not gotten that much smaller?!]

[ action ] notatearbender December 3 2010, 20:00:30 UTC

[No... she's just gotten bigger. And yes, that squirming and flailing just makes you cuter, little guy, but she's going to put you back down now as... respectfully as possible.

Sorta. Okay, maybe she's grinning.]

As unexpected as your new form is, it's still good to see you. Let's work on getting you back home, then.

[ action ] notsoaringblade December 3 2010, 20:10:33 UTC

[Now he's doing that thing that birds do when they want to get a good look at something. There are weird things going on here.]

You should know - Capell is a child.

[ action ] notatearbender December 3 2010, 20:40:23 UTC

Aging up and aging down... that seems to be going around.

[And she starts to put the remaining groceries in the basket.]

[ action ] notsoaringblade December 3 2010, 20:47:54 UTC

[He'll just... grab the cover of the journal with his beak and try to close the stupid thing.]

And Edward is turning things to candy. [So yes. No capable adults left in the house.]
