Book 4: Winds from Tomorrow [Action: May 30th-June 1]
[Action: Days 5-7]
[It's odd for Aang, waking up in House 56. What is this, some sort of bunked bed? He can't remember whatever led him to sleep there. Doesn't this violate his decision to maintain some distance from his younger friends? He slips out of the house early in the morning, or tries to. It's possible that anyone else in the household could have caught him before he was able to leave.
Aang spends the rest of the day and the next two days going back to his daily routine. He meditates in the forest near Avatar House. He goes through town, either casually strolling or zipping through on his Air Scooter, to stay social. On Day 5, he also has to set up his tent near his meditation spot again. Where could his old tent have gone?]
[ooc: Aang is aged up (kinda)-canonically to around his 40s. He also remembers Luceti in an alternate way where he was brought here at this age. The shift has also caused some memory fluctuations (who's that Yakone fellow again?), although the possibility always remains that he's actually from a somewhat alternate version of canon (aka my handwave if my few assumptions get jossed)

You did. I heard you while I was getting my tongue stuck to my pole. Being around all of you here, it really does feel like talking to living memories sometimes.

Oh. You think I'm a different Aang.
Day 6
[Probable, even.]

Day 6
I was raised as an air nomad, and everything changed when I turned twelve. I found out I was the Avatar, and... that led to me running away. To the iceberg. From just now, I'm guessing this must match what you know. You and Sokka discovered me a hundred years a later. [A small smile.] We went penguin sledding. And after we had our first fight with Zuko, and... you found out that I really was the Avatar... we set off so I could start learning the other elements.

Day 6
[He flt silent for a moment. Next we the desert and Ba Sing Se. Memories that still hurt.] That's when we had losses. Lost Appa in the desert. Jet... Jet fell at Lake Laogai. And for a little while, I... was gone too.
Day 6
And there wasn't any more to say. She goes very still.]
You still remember that?
Day 6
That's something I can't just forget. [He closes his eyes to dismiss the painful electric memories, and opens them looking back at Katara.] And I still remember waking up for just a few moments and seeing just your face. That smile was the best welcome I could have asked for. [The smile has become more genuine by the end of the sentence.]
Day 6
No, I meant... that's something I would have hoped you'd forget.
[After all this time...
She wouldn't wish him to hold on to that much pain.]
Day 6
I understand. But remembering pain is as important as remembering joy. [Even if he did seem to forget whatever happened immediately before he came here... something linked strongly with pain.] And... before I knew it, I had hair. Then we spent some time in the Fire Nation, getting ready for the invasion. [He looks down.] That's another bad memory. When I let everyone down, including including your father and all of you.

[She looked into the campfire for a moment.]
...do you remember being caught in that storm together? Sokka was out fishing and we took refuge in a cave.
[...which... might be the glossed over version.]
Day 6
Yes. That's when I shared earlier memories with you.
Day 6
I guess he's as close to real as... I know, anyway.
That left a whole other passel of strangeness to deal with.
But Katara just smiles.]
I bet this was never something we would have thought of back then.
Day 6
Definitely. I was still trying to figure out how to be a 12-year old Avatar. None of us could have imagined anything like Luceti, or that we'd all be dropped here from different points in our lives. Let alone that a bearded me would be eating noodles alongside a teenage you.
[Aang gives a small shrug and slurps up the last noodles in his bowl.]
Day 6
She refrains from correcting him, because... that would just be too weird.]
When did you grow the beard?
