[ Dated to around 8am today. Tyr is in the living room if any apartment mates want action. ]

There haven't been any of those strange network broadcasts for a few days... Has everyone found their way out of those illusions? Or whatever they were supposed to be. [ As he adds this, there's an obvious, irritated undertone to his voice. ] I can't

The fountain's back to normal. I think it's safe to say all the pieces were recovered.

...Thanks for helping out.

[stargathering]

It was no problem... I'm just glad the fountain is normal again and that there don't seem to be any after-effects...

[blastiafreak]

From what I've seen, there's no lasting effects or changes. Ugh, that was a total failure...

[Complaining and acting flippant about the event feels easier than expressing her guilt and reservations. Or it should.]

[stargathering]

And now you know not to try it again, so it wasn't a total waste. [ Being cold is totally the way to go about having his little Tyr feelings hurt. ] I hope the next time something like that is attempted, the consequences aren't so bad.

[Gremio pokes his head into the living room, already wearing his apron. He takes a moment to observe Tyr and wonder about his mood but decides to let that alone for know--even if he is a little concerned, he won't pry about everything.]

Ah, Young Master? Don't worry about breakfast; I was just starting. Would you like anything in particular?

[stargathering]

[ His reply is almost automatic: ] Chocolate chip pancakes would be good.

[ It's not right to take some of his annoyance out on Gremio, though. Tyr goes over to the kitchen and leans against a wall. Good ol' Gremio is always the best. ] Sorry for snapping at you...

[axeofoath]

[He answers with a smile, not the least bit offended or hurt. And secretly, he had been originally planned on making those anyway~]

Not at all, Young Master. I'd be more than happy to make them for you.

[Then, after a moment, he asks Tyr, just to see if his master wants to talk about it-]

Is everything all right?

[stargathering]

[ Tyr smiles a bit, too. Gremio, Gremio is always the best. Let's run off into the wilderness again, Gremio~ He takes a seat at the table while Gremio does his Gremio stuff. ] Thanks...

[ At his question, though, he doesn't entirely know how to answer. Given how he acted with Sokka... ] There's just something I need to sort out with Katara... [ ...but then, he doesn't know if Gremio figured out their whole less than a week of dating. ]

[seesbydoing]

You could make me breakfast.

[ Good morning, Tyr. I'm sure this improves your mood. ]

[stargathering]

[ Toph's voice is always what Tyr wants to hear in the mornings. ] Tell it to Katara.

[seesbydoing]

Yeah, yeah.

I was thinking about thanking you for helping me out of your boring world, but I guess not.

[stargathering]

You don't have to thank me for that.

... [ Let's... turn down the bad mood. ] Sorry for snapping at you.

Everyone managed to get out of the shards… though I did have some trouble with a certain older gentleman…

[Anyway, have a smile. ]

Thank you for your help.

[stargathering]

It's no problem. It's good to hear everyone is out... [ Though especially Eagle, since he's the one he was really worried about. ] That "older gentleman" didn't attack you, did he?

Video

[eagleofautozam]

[Chuckles a bit at the question. ]

No, actually he was trapped in an illusion of my world and I was having difficulties getting him out again… because the entire scene was a bit surprising for him.

[Serious face though. ]

And the fountain seems to be flowing normally again now...

Video

[stargathering]

[ He nods at his explanation. ] What happened in it?

...And do you consider the fountain being normal again a bad thing?

[misterblackbird]

'Illusions' is the best word for them. Do you know anything more about what was going on?

[stargathering]

I know a bit... I wasn't involved with it, but it was basically a botched escape attempt by a few people.

[misterblackbird]

Another failed attempt, and with more than a few unexpected results.

What were they trying? I only ask because I fell into one of those illusions myself.

[stargathering]

Yeah... Have there been other attempts that went as badly?

Ah... [ Can't blame him for being curious, then. ] It had to do with the water in the fountain and freezing it... Somehow, they managed to make the frozen water...explode.
