[This is Katara.

This is Katara, disconsolate, hurling shards of ice into the trunk of a tree. They stick out of the bark like daggers.

Thwack.

Thwack.]

Zuko's gone again.

[Thwack.]

Just for anyone else who knew him.

[sauceytomato]

...Oh.

[kyasdaughter]

I'm so sorry, Sasuke.

[sauceytomato]

It happens.

[kyasdaughter]

At least he's not around here to be murdered again.

[That? It's a joke.]

[voice]

[holdnovirtue]

[He waits awhile after this is broadcasted, hopefully giving her time to... take it in.]

How many times has he come and gone?

[Tact.]

[voice]

[kyasdaughter]

I don't know.

[Her voice is a little terse, constricted.]

At least twice, since I've been here.

[voice]

[holdnovirtue]

I... see.

[Now that he got the information he wasn't sure what else to say to her...This could have used more thought.]

Well, at least he gets small reprieves from this place.

[voice]

[kyasdaughter]

You know that people don't remember, right? When they leave and come back.

[Video]

[buntails]

I'm sorry, Katara.

Do you want to go somewhere?

[Video]

[kyasdaughter]

Home.

[She isn't looking at the video.]

[Video]

[buntails]

Katara...

I can't send you home, but, maybe there's something I can do!

[Katara, in about five minutes she will find a way to coat at least a small area with snow and make it look like the north pole. (She'd try the South Pole, but she's never been there.)]

[Video]

[kyasdaughter]

Ah.. I really - maybe a little later, Usagi?

[She rubs her eyes with her sleeve, giving the PCD a slightly watery smile.]

[voice]

[courageousrider]

[She hasn't even been here a day, but she understands losing people. Losing friends. Sammy... Jason. So when she speaks up it's quiet.]

I hope he'll be alright for you back home.

[voice]

[kyasdaughter]

Yeah.

[She swallows a little thickly.]

Everything at home is okay.

[voice] don't give me that look, katara

[courageousrider]

Then he should be happy there. [She gives a small smile that Katara can't see.]

[voice]

[kyasdaughter]

I know. He's lucky to have gotten to go home.

[waverly_wiz]

Well, who's to say he won't be back again?

[She feels for Katara a little; Zuko was an acquaintance of Alex's that she loved messing with.]

[kyasdaughter]

For me to re-friend all over again? Back, with no memories of me, of his friends here, of anything?

[She gives a frustrated little sound.]

He might as well just stay home.

[waverly_wiz]

[Alex gives her a nod.]

You guys are from the same world, right? You both can do that elemental magic...

[kyasdaughter]

It's bending, not - magic.
