Book 13: Sunshine [Video/Action]

[It's another New Feather season, which normally means more busy times at the Welcome Center in setting up to greet the new arrivals. But today, Aang's preoccupied himself with something else: that it's been a whole year since Ikki first appeared here in Luceti, and he had seen the first fellow air nomad since he'd woken from the iceberg. He remembers that light she brought into his life. He knows that she might realize this, too - that aside from the few weeks in which she was briefly sent home, it's been a year since she's been seperated from her home. From her family that raised her and her baby brother who has just been born. So he's intent on making this day as special as possible. In the morning, when she wakes up, he's ready to give her the full royal princess treatment, and others around the house are encouraged to do so as well, even wearing clothes that look like those of a royal retainer.

That morning, he does find some time to himself to address the journals.]


[Video, Filtered from Ikki]

[Aang's wearing a servant-y get-up that looks something like this, with his arrow peeking out from the hat. There's mixed emotions on his face. He's sad at Ikki been trapped here and away from her family for so long - while having to endure all the stresses and traumas that come with Luceti life. But he's also sentimental and grateful for all the time he's been able to spend with Ikki and make her feel better - time that he knows he won't have at home.]

Hi, everyone. It's me, Aang. I just wanted to make sure you all knew that today... It's a very special day. Today it's been one year since Ikki got here in Luceti. Her family was only here for a little bit after she first got here, and she hasn't been able to see them here since then.

So, I just have a favor to ask you. If you see Ikki today, can you do what you can to help treat her like a princess? An Avatar princess! I want her to remember this day as... as a reminder and a celebration of all the good times she's had here and all the friends that she's made here. So that she doesn't have to associate it with... you know, with missing her family. I really want to thank everyone who's looked out for her in this time and made her smile. And I hope we can keep on making her smile for as long as she'll be here.

[He does manage to spend some time in the day not entertaining Ikki after school. He spends about a half hour at the Welcome Center to try to greet new arrivals and such, and he also spends some time at the bakery, where he makes some treats for Ikki - while keeping in mind what to prepare for Katara's coming birthday. And he leaves some extra - cookies, cupcakes and the like - for anyone who stops by.]

[Wow, yeah, that's pretty young. A few years older than Sophie was, but still...just a kid. Norma hit the target right in the middle, it seems. But wait a second - she frowns, then tilts her chin up with a pout.]

Hold on, aren't you a kid, too? You're pretty puny from what I can remember, Cueball.

What, seriously? [Okay, fine, she was going to guess about early teens anyway, but that's still two years older than Norma expected. And it just makes her seem like she's not all that grown up at all. Bleh, she honestly can't wait to hit twenty and be done with it.] Jeez...second time I've been wrong about this. You people just kinda look young, I guess. It's in the face.




And the lack of hair.

[Two kids who await the day they physically grow - truly a tale of life. Though Norma's not exactly looking for cheekbones. She craves something a bit more in the chest department but details.

And dang, he wasn't supposed to hear that--]


...Yeah, because there are so many bald kids--sorry, teens, running around this place. Lemme just start counting 'em off...

[ONE DAY, OKAY. ONE DAY. And it better be sooner rather than later, she will cut a bitch.]

Yeaaah...how come you don't have any hair anyway, huh? I mean, from what it sounds like your saying, people in your world don't have any hair or something. Does it just not grow or...what? That's kinda weird.
bubblywishes: (Uh...)

[Voice]

[personal profile] bubblywishes 2013-07-11 12:17 am (UTC)(link)
Oh. [...] Oh! Uh...jeez, sorry, I didn't know it was that important. [Wow, way to go, Norma, making fun of his culture and possibly his religion What a winner you sure are. She shifts in her chair a little, chewing her lip uncomfortably. Bleh, what a blunder.]

So...those arrow things are kinda super special or something? What do they mean, anyway?
bubblywishes: (I'd like to buy a vowel.)

[personal profile] bubblywishes 2013-07-12 08:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Uh...sure, right. [Hahaha, she has no idea what he's talking about with his 'chi' and 'sky bison' stuff. Though Norma at least can recognize what he means by that air bending stuff he's talking about. She still, sadly, couldn't use wind magic, but whatever.]

So, these sky by-suns or whatever were the ones that taught you all to use that windy stuff? Were they like spirits or something or what?

[Norma nearly falls over when she sees that thing appear in in the journal camera. With a yelp, she recoils, thinking it some kind of monster from her world - an ancient, kindasorta sacred one, but still a very dangerous one.] Whoa! That thing's huge! It looks like a Grand Gaet! ...Though more furry and less scaly. And with a whole lot more legs.

Jeez...Red'd have a field day with that thing. I can just hear him going nuts about it.
bubblywishes: (Beam!)

[personal profile] bubblywishes 2013-07-15 07:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Red's a friend from my world! He was a monster tamer and stuff, so he was all into weird animals like you've got. Kinda loud and real dim-witted, but I think you guys'd have a lot to talk about! He even had a cool animal too, only smaller and, uh...less like a cow...gaet...thing!

Uh, well...Spot was pretty big, but not as big as your whatchamacallit. You might be able to get one person to ride him if you're lucky. [Actually, now that she remembers a bit, Giet did take Shirley away on his back once or something.] Maybe someone kinda small, I mean. He was kinda just like a really big dog. Though he also was pretty strong...being a Grand Galf n'all.
bubblywishes: (What the fuck is on my head.)

[Voice]

[personal profile] bubblywishes 2013-07-17 10:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, if Spot lets you ride him! He's real smart, and according to Red, the Grand Galf's supposed to be one of the smartest monsters on Melfes. So I dunno if you can just jump on his back and ride off into the sunset or something. I don't think he or Red would like hat very much.
bubblywishes: (My little treasures.)

[Voice]

[personal profile] bubblywishes 2013-07-19 12:32 am (UTC)(link)
Well, if either of 'em ever show up, then yeah! Red's pretty easy to get along with once you get to know him - even if he looks a little rough around the edges. Spot's pretty much the same, and I think he's got a soft spot for laaadies, too~! He was real nice to me and Shirl, and he tried getting on with C, but she was a little too tough for his tastes, I think.

[Norma sighs a little, and her head tilts back to look at the ceiling with a strange, wistful smile. Damn did she miss those two gits. It felt so weird and quiet without them to hassle.]
bubblywishes: (Hit me with your best shot!)

[Voice]

[personal profile] bubblywishes 2013-07-21 04:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I did. [There's a small hint of sadness in her voice, but it's easily veiled with a smile and fond memories. Yeah, she misses all her friends that aren't here, but they're better off back where they belong, even she has the sense to admit that.] But I've also made a whole lot more friends here, too, so I guess it all balances out in the end, right?
