Book 3: Fire of Rememory [Action / Accidental Voice]

[Action 1 - for Robin]

[The morning. Aang woke up in bed slowly as every memory he ever had filled his head, feeling fresh and vivid yet as if he had lived through it so long ago. And everything from his other life followed by the past week started trickling away. He remembered Robin, pizza, faint memories of a Batman and a butler. What were their names? He felt like he knew so... less. But some memories from the week stuck out. His friends... his real friends, all worried and hurt. There was one particular face that he kept seeing over and over again, each time accompanied by a twinge of inner pain. Now that he was himself again, viewing his memories of their meetings through his own mind, he could see every instance of pain and anguish in her face.

Katara.

His eyes were open. He quickly examined his surroundings. ...This was not his room at the Avatar House. Not a good start. Was he himself...? Aang grabbed his head for confirmation. He was bald. He was himself. But he was not in his room. Still, he decided to test the waters, or maybe he just felt like saying the name aloud in his own voice.]

Katara!

[Action 2 - for Avatar House (plus Winry?) / Accidental Voice]

[Aang sprinted from the community building towards House 56, enhancing his speed by bending the air behind him despite the relatively short distance. He came to a stop outside the door and steeled himself. His excitement burst through his body in the form of a cry - one which was caught by the journal.]

Guys! It's me, Aang! ...Avatar Aang! I'm back!

That must have been horrible.

Well, the control of all the elements part was pretty cool. But I was pretty much a jerk. A real selfish, inconsiderate jerk. [What a change, right.]

That's what happens with power. I know I let things go to my head sometimes... But good friends always help to keep things grounded.

Trust me. You're a good Avatar. The one I was... he was a jerk long before he had power like that.

That's a shame. The you I'm talking to now would make a much better Avatar. ...Compared to that one, that is.

I guess it's for the better that this happened here instead of back home, because now that I think about it... the previous Water Tribe Avatar, Avatar Kuruk, he wasn't really that responsible himself. And even though he did shape up later in his life, he still angered one of the spirits, Koh the Face Stealer, and that... didn't end well for him. At least you didn't have anything like that to deal with!

... that me kind of ended up starting a war that got his family killed and had half of the nations wanting to wipe out the Avatar line. So uh. I think maybe Water Tribe Avatars are just destined to screw up.

Oh. That's... not good. [He looks away a bit, wondering what that meant for that version of Katara, but he felt he'd rather not know.] ...I hope you're not right. Another Water Tribe Avatar should be next in the cycle.

That's true. It's a good thing you'll probably outlive me, then. I won't have to live in a Water Avatar world.

I don't wanna outlive anyone, but... Kyoshi was around for over 200 years alone. Maybe I can set a new record. But it might not be so bad... if I balance the world enough, the Water Avatar won't have much to do anyway. [A thought crosses his mind and brightens his face] What if that Avatar's related to you and Katara! That would be nice.

Maybe. I guess it wouldn't be so bad to claim to have an Avatar in the family. Zuko has one for a great grandpa, so that would even things up a little.

[Avatar-world equivalent of a record scratch.]

Zuko's... great grandpa?

[... oh. Yeah. Sokka scratches the back of his head, faint grin.]

I guess you don't know about that, do you. Crazy the things you learn in Luceti, am I right?

Yeah, that's... something I should have heard about. You mean... Roku? Avatar Roku is related to Zuko? [The same Ruko who not long ago was advising him to honor his promise to kill Zuko?]

Edited 2012-04-14 05:23 (UTC)

Yeah. Thought Zuko's mom. Me and Katara kind of find out when... well, Roku was here. [Surprise.]

Whoa. I can't believe it. I'm... kinda related to Zuko? ...And Roku was here too?

Yeah, for a few months. Not only that, but he was my age. He had just started airbending. Which was kind of awkward that he was so young. Cool, but weird. Between the two of us, I think he had a crush on Katara.

[He never expects to see Roku again, so a little fun at his expense is no big.]

Edited 2012-04-14 05:35 (UTC)

That's really weird. Young Roku... He did seem nice when he showed me his memories. [Much nicer than the the harsher advice-giving Spirit Roku.]

...Wait, he had a crush on Katara?

[Sokka shrugs, clearly unconcerned about it.]

Maybe. I didn't exactly ask at the time. And he ended up vanishing.

Oh. Whatever, no big deal.

I actually made him a glider, like the one made for you. It's down in the basement.

[Oh by the way we have a basement. May not have mentioned that to you.]

...We have a basement? And another glider? What else haven't you told me about?

[Aang. Today you get to visit the Sokka cave. It's something that he would have truly appreciated as Robin.]

Um. The house has nearly burned down a few times. One of them even involved Roku!

So practicing Firebending anywhere near here wouldn't be a good call.

Good idea. So... want to see Roku's staff?

Do I!
