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!
heartisabattleground: (Look up there.)

Action; I'm still not walking away. And I'll always hear you say 'please oh b- /shot"

[Well obviously messiahs of their series must always meet. It must be tradition. Obviously.

Sora's still been staying at the welcome center but is probably soon moving out (obviously the KH crowd can't keep their hands off him.)

When coming inside, he see's a small boy doing...something. Curiously looking, Sora approaches the kid.]

Hey, watcha doing?

[Usually, Souji isn't at the Welcome Center during the day. Working the graveyard shift and then morning training with Sokka usually has him asleep in the late morning.

Today, however, he forgot something at the Center and has come to retrieve it. He pokes his head in the door, and spots Aang at the counter.

Oh, hello there. What are you doing?

Autumn? [Thinking back to his old activities during that season. Before his FATEFUL CHOICE.]

That means playing with the leaves and gathering them for yakiimo in winter for me. Unless I can bug my brother into cooking them early.
de_bel_survivor: (Pocky)

Yakiimo are baked sweet potatoes. They're very delicious and can warm you up during the colder weather!

Well, that isn't any good at all. Shall we play something instead to occupy your time?

[He removes his geta at the door and sets them aside, stepping up into the center barefoot. The toy he left has to be here somewhere....no idea where though. Hrm.]
de_bel_survivor: (Smile > :))

[personal profile] de_bel_survivor 2012-09-20 08:28 am (UTC)(link)
Really? So you also cook them in leaves as well in your world?

[It's such a simple thing. But it's still a pleasant surprise for him to hear, that he can't help but smile.]

So wait, does that mean you lived with monks?
heartisabattleground: (smug)

Re: Action; Hoooold me, whatever lies beyond this mooorning.

[Is this guy hiding something. He just smirks.]

Oh yeah? Really? Doesn't look like nothing.

...She's back?

[ and why is it that all buffy can think is 'uh-oh'? ]
heartisabattleground: (Elated)

Re: Action; It's haaaaard to let it go.

[personal profile] heartisabattleground 2012-09-20 05:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Paperwork? Aren't you a little young doing that stuff?

[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.

Sometimes? They do. Last year, Jack left. Came back six days later.
heartisabattleground: (pssst come here)

Re: Action; yup. The daily things, like this and that and what

[personal profile] heartisabattleground 2012-09-20 09:06 pm (UTC)(link)
That's always a good thing to like about your job.

[But look at that...whatever it is. Is it an ostrich?]


Um...no I can see it. It's a bird, right?

Where I'm from, the skies tend to be clearer in the autumn. [Or what passes for autumn in the eternal realm.] It's a good time for stargazing.

Hm. That's something to do.

I didn't know that leaves could change colors! Why only in autumn?

Ahh... that's right, school starts soon here, doesn't it? Are you still planning on attending as well, Aang-kun?
