[Accidental Video;]

What is wrong with this-- ugh! [Random pushing of buttons and then the video comes on. You all see Katara in her sleepless glory - dark bags under her eyes, eyebrows furrowed and hair disheveled.] If you don't want to cooperate, fine!

[She throws the device on her bed when she storms off.]I just knew it! This place is

[ Tyr has never been a morning person - or a particularly light sleeper, for that matter - but a combination of his aching outer thigh and Katara's voice coming through his device gets him to wake up.

The image is dark still, with the morning light largely blocked out by his curtains. ]

Katara...? What's wrong? What are you seeing?

[When she hears Tyr's voice, Katara scrambles to her feet again. This time, she successfully picks herself up only to fall back on her bed with a loud oof.]

... Destruction, Tyr. I-- they're everywhere every time I close my eyes.

--Katara! [ Can she really not walk? He knows she hasn't been looking well or acting like herself, but... He doesn't even know how to respond to this. ]

...You need to lay down. Nothing is falling down anymore.

[drizzlinginside]

[She feels dizzy when she does. Her eyes adjust to her device when she picks it up before falling on to her bed. Katara's trying to search for Tyr. Her voice is softer, more fragile.]

Everything seems to every time I... I try to sleep.

You have to sleep, though... [ Tyr's voice is soft for entirely different reasons. He shifts and gets himself out of bed, inhaling deeply as he swings his legs over. ] I'll bring you something to help you.

[drizzlinginside]

That's just it: I can't sleep. [Said more harshly than she intended. Katara lets out a sigh, though, that the next time she speaks, her voice is softer.] ... Thanks, Tyr. Sorry for waking you up this early.

[stargathering]

[ He just sighs and rises to his feet. ] It's fine... Gremio would have probably woke me up soon anyway.

And... Just because you can't sleep on your own doesn't mean you can't take something to put you to sleep...

[drizzlinginside]

You're right... [She sits up too, watching Tyr through her communicator.] Thanks.

[Assessing her situation, Katara's brows furrow.] This has to be some curse! I hate this! We still need to find Toph and Momo and this continuously happens.

[stargathering]

[ Tyr nearly matches her expression as he nods. ] You'll just have to wait for it to pass... Have you tried reaching that Toph girl on this yet?

[drizzlinginside]

I don't know why this curse is longer than the usual, though. [Irritated mumble, before her expression shifts to that of worry.] I have, but she's not responding. I don't want to think the worst, but...

[stargathering]

...She probably found her way home and Momo tagged along. I'll check the Hall for you later.

[ Ladeda, heading out of his room and into the kitchen. He sets the device down to look at a wall as he goes into the cabinets. ] Are you sure you're sleep problems are caused by a curse, though?

video;

[drizzlinginside]

I guess, but... [No Toph, come baaaaack.] Thanks, anyway. You've always been so sweet.

[There's really no other explanation for it.] I don't usually have sleeping problems, but... I do notice that I really just can't sleep at all.

video;

[stargathering]

[ He'll take that as a request not to check. He just nods and mutters 'It's not a problem...' ]

Because of the things you see? [ He grabs a small box from the cabinet and holds it in the same hand as the device when he picks it up. ]

[drizzlinginside]

That, and I just can't sleep. It's frustrating! [Which is evident in her voice. She just watches him.] What... did you get?

video;

[stargathering]

Medicine. [ It's a simple, dismissive answer which isn't entirely true. ] It'll make you sleep.

[drizzlinginside]

[Medicine... The same thing Rita's forcing on her.] Tyr, are you... sure I should be taking some?
