[001] this is not good

[noturmother]

[Look at that. Just as she'd been finally able to grab the courage and go to the food table--only to be caught by her brother--and she was suddenly shoved into a room. And the door was locked. This was a prison ship, wasn't it!

And despite her best efforts of shouting, rattling the knob and icing over the lock of the door with her little pouch of

Hey! You're okay, right?

[Have a mother hen!brother.]

And, it's like Toph said-- Aang's not here. He's at home, like Suki and Dad and Zuko and everyone.

[noturmother]

I'm fine. [Dismissive]

How far is home from here? Aang'll come looking for us.

That is a fantastic question, little sister... Uh, and I don't know the answer. We're on a different world, or something, according to what I've been hearing.

[noturmother]

A... different world? How's that even possible? This isn't like... the spirit world or anything is it? We... We're not dead, right?

that is actually a throwback line to a play I was in

[withanokka]

We aren't dead, because I've seen people die here.

[AND LET'S NOT TALK ABOUT THAT. He looks really sad for a flash and he's smiling again. Because Katara's here. He's doing his best to be patient, because he had all of these questions, too.]

I don't know how it's possible-- but the Captain's crazy, Katara. He does what he wants. He brought us here.

[And it's really dangerous and apparently he can't protect them from that danger or something so YES, he'll get there.]

hum?

[noturmother]

[She swallows briefly. Life has death, but that doesn't make it any better. And you know, big brother, she CAN tell when you're upset. She's just choosing not to say anything.]

Great. Crazy captains, missing Avatars, no way to get off the boat..

the original line was "Tod's crazy, man, Tod does what he wants."

[withanokka]

Yeah. Definitely no way to get off.

[He takes a breath.]

It's really dangerous, too, Katara-- there're no weapons, except what we can improvise, and there's this crazy little girl trying to kill us, and actually I think the boat might be trying to kill us too, so... you know, it's scary, actually.

[believeslegends]

Wait, what? Since when has this ship been trying to kill us?

[withanokka]

Okay, so the things that attacked me and Toph might not have been PART of the ship but they were ON the ship, therefore:

SHIP.

Trying to KILL US.

[And succeeding.]

[believeslegends]

[There's a loooooooooooong silence here]

I'm just. Going to go look around. See if I can find anything useful.

[withanokka]

You do that, Jimbo.

[believeslegends]

Hey.

Don't-- .... Just Jim.

[withanokka]

[You don't understand the compulsion to nickname things.]

Jimmy-boy? Jim-jim?

[believeslegends]

Jim.

/REJACK

[noturmother]

[She's been standing there, watching. Ship? Dangerous. Some little girl? Dangerous. Well it's not the first time things have tried to kill them...

She's just sort of.. Trying to wrap her head around this. All of it. Not going so well.

And Sokka is trying to give.. Jim. A pet name. So she'll smack up the backside of the head.]

Just call him Jim, okay, Sokka?

[withanokka]

Oh, Katara, come on, we were just kidding around.

[He laughs, though. It's kind of nice to have bossy Katara around. He's missed her a lot...]
