Book 7: Sands of Time [Action/Video]
[Action]
[As Aang checked the journal that morning, to make sure things were fine around the village, the one thing that caught his eye wound up being the date. There it was, a "19". It stuck in his head because of when he had first opened the journal. There had been a 19 there, too. That meant one thing. Another month had passed since he had arrived here. Another month kept from home and the future he was both anticipating and dreading. If Aang felt like doing the math, he would realize it's been half a year now, since he was last home. Half a year of various trials and tribulations, friendships that were built up, damaged and mended, love that was questioned and unexpected sources of both comfort and hurt. He even came to known that the crisis he left back home would be resolved relatively peacefully... but he also learned more, much more than he wanted to know about his future. There was still joy to be found in the return of Ikki, even if it was accompanied by a dread for her wellbeing. He takes a moment to flip back to that first entry out of curiosity... and snaps it shut when he hears himself saying the word "Sweetie".
With just a moment more of reflection, he got out of bed, ready to continue doing his thing until he could bring his friends back home, to whatever futures truly awaited them.
And so Aang goes through his daily life. The fourteen year old monk starts off his day with training; firebending with Zuko while the grandkids are asleep. And once they're awake, it's time for airbending practice. With that over, he goes through daily errands. One can easily run into him while he's walking around the village and forest. Or he could be found at the Welcome Center where he... organizes... things and is ready to answer questions from New Feathers. And he will spend part of the day in the library seeking a new book to read. Such is the life of the Avatar. Or perhaps he could be caught while taking his sky bison out for a ride. As usual, he eats dinner at home and retires fairly early in the night. But sometime in the evening, he addresses the journals.]

Hi, everyone! It's me, Aang, again. I guess you can say I'm feeling better this month. Who would have thought Ikki'd be back so soon? And hey, is anyone else excited for autumn? That's the season for us airbenders! It's fun to watch all the leaves turn different colors, and then we can use the leaves for practice and for games! Not to mention that the air always feels just right this time of year. Does anyone else have any fun things that they like do around this time of year? And hey, let me know if you find any trees that have already changed colors!
...Oh yeah, and school should be starting sometime soon, I think! I'm real excited!

Re: Action; Hoooold me, whatever lies beyond this mooorning.
Oh yeah? Really? Doesn't look like nothing.
Action; Simple and clean is the way that you're making me feel tonight
Alright, I admit it. I was supposed to be filling out papers, but I was trying to make a origami instead.
Re: Action; It's haaaaard to let it go.
[Nonetheless he'll take up a seat to look at the origami. Wow it's pretty good. Sora's just amazed here.]
Coooool! I don't think I could do that stuff.
Action; are there even any lyrics left
Thanks! I'm not sure if I can, either. It's supposed to look like something else. Like... any other shape. [He humbly holds up the paper with its many folds, hard to make out anything it could look like.]
Re: Action; yup. The daily things, like this and that and what
[But look at that...whatever it is. Is it an ostrich?]
Um...no I can see it. It's a bird, right?
Action; ...oh
Re: Action; It's okay I love you anyway.
[Anyways he just smiles.]
I'm sure you'll get it. Anyways, I'm Sora.
Action;
It's nice to meet you, Sora. I think I've heard your name around. You know Ventus, right? Oh yeah, and my name's Aang.
Re: Action;
[There's a long blank stare.]
Wait, how old are you?!
[Important questions first. But then he'll move onto the next one.]
You know Ven? But yeah I met him when I got here to Luceti. Well, it's nice to meet you too, Aang.

Re: Action;
[He rubs the back of his head.]
....Wait, you were frozen for a hundred years?!

Re: Action;
[Sora knows the sleep problems. He's not taken a nap that long though. Maybe a year long one but not a 100 year one.]
Action;
Re: Action;
[Talking to probably one of the laziest here, Aang.]
Anyways, if you're friends with Ven, did Ikki tell you about what I was talking about with her?
Action;
She did! Some kind of birthday party thing?
Re: Action;
Action;
Re: Action; I finally can use this icon!
Action; Congratulations
Re: Action; I'd like to thank the academy.
Action;
Surprises sound like fun! So I know he'll love it.
