01. At a Loss [video]

[angle_on_it]

[What's this? Accidental audio, at first!]

--can't tell me I'm somewhere different from where I went to bed! That's-- that's crazy!

[And here comes the video, as Sokka digs through what belongings he has with him and uncovers the PCD he doesn't even know he has. He's confused, concerned, and obviously out of sorts.]There's gotta be something here

[There isn't an immediate reaction. Katara is laying in bed, mostly just listening to the network -- even with the dreamless sleeping drafts, she still has problems sometimes, and just knowing that other people are out there in the city? Can be nice.

It's halfway through Sokka's speech that his voice actually registers, though.]

Sokka!

[And she sits up fast, grabbing the PCD and hastily climbing out of bed.]

Video | done

[kyasdaughter]

[And she has her PCD in one hand, pulling her shoes on with the other.]

Sokka, there's a little box in your bag, pick it up -- that's how you'll talk to me. Can you hear me?

[He's halfway through emo-ing all by himself when he hears that familiar voice. It sounds far away, but it's definitely Katara. Sokka moves, urging himself forward towards the noise.] Katara? Katara where--

[A sympathetically smiling blond face takes over the PCD screen. In the background, fairly nondescript jazzy instrumental music plays.]

It's alright! I'll help you figure it out. I'm Usagi. This is called Adstringendum.

[Aaaand, checking the earlier video...]

And Katara is here. She'll help you for sure.

Usagi.. this is my brother, Sokka. Um -- if you wouldn't mind, keep it a secret that I've died here? I don't want him to know.

[Video | Locked | Unhackable]

[buntails]

[She didn't even know; Katara's post hadn't necessarily meant Katara died. Usagi won't even know she died until tomorrow. But she nods immediately.]

I understand. You don't want to worry him right away.

Are... you alright? Is that why you were at the Church?

[kyasdaughter]

I'm fine. [A pause.] I'm getting better. But -- after we get Sokka settled in, you should come over and we'll all have tea. Break taught me how to make oolong. I'll talk about it then, okay?

[Talking about it is finally starting to feel like a good idea.]

[Hold on a second...she knows that voice. Even with all the annoying music, she knows that voice.]

Took you long enough to get here, Snoozles.

[angle_on_it]

[Squinting, he swears he sees-- wait, no, it is Toph! Sokka nearly drops the PCD.] Toph, oh man, Toph what is going on? How did we get here? Where are you? Where am I?

[Video] THIS IS A PLACEHOLDER SOB I'm graduating today. flkghfkjh /but cannot miss this!

[innerfirewithin]

[...]

Sokka.

[Video | Private] GRADUATION IS NO EXCUSE

[kyasdaughter]

Zuko. [Katara is running. She is, apparently, on her way to meet Sokka.] What happened a few weeks ago -- keep it a secret for now, okay?

[Video | Private] SHUT UP AJ GOD.

[innerfirewithin]

Alright.

[kyasdaughter]

We could probably set up a bed in the attic for him for now. Or the basement. You, me, Iroh, Aang, Toph, Break, and now Sokka.. we're kind of running low on space.

[thelonegenin]

There's maps, 'ttebayo.

On the PDC thing.

[angle_on_it]

Uuuhh, all I see are faces? And buttons.

[thelonegenin]

i's on there somewhere, 'ttebayo. Y'gotta like, click this thing.

Uh. Y'can't see-- cause.. hn.

[angle_on_it]

[Fumbling.] Click what? I don't think-- [Click! Oops, I think he just did something. The screen goes black, he shakes it, it springs to life again, he shakes it again.] Hello? Are you there?
