Book 19: Summer Breeze
[Video]
[There had been a whole mix of things the last few weeks. The return of Korra, the coming of Kai, and the news of more airbenders in Aang's future. It was a lot to reflect on and take in, on top of Zuko and Kai's fighting.
But now, he thinks it's time to try to just breathe and relax. Summer's almost over, and the pool in the backyard of House 56 has been criminally underused this year. So, a fairly chipper-looking monk shows his face on the journals.]
Hey everyone! It's me, Aang. I just thought... since it's summer and all, and it won't be too long until fall... We could all have some fun! We have a pool in our backyard, and anyone's welcome to come and play in it today! It'll be lots of fun, really!
...Oh, and if you don't know where we live, it's House number 56! Follow the road down from the plaza, and when you see a house with two floors that's a got a statue of a guy's head in front of it, you know you've found it!
[Action]
[And so Aang can be found at the pool. There's an earthbending slide that can be ridden from the second floor to the pool, as well as a trampoline set up nearby. Aang will ride the slide and often jump into the pool while using a number of tricks using his airbending and waterbending. The teenage monk can also fooling around in an octopus form.
And of course since he's wearing shorts, his tattoos and scar will be very visible.]

wait i mean. Oh look, it's Aang. Red hasn't really seen him much in a long time, but he's got training he should focus on, so... searching for the house and getting lost and giving up and deciding to talk over the journal will have to wait!
Because that didn't happen. ]
Hey Aang. I'm too busy to come over, but how've you been? Has Soren been okay? I wanted to ask you about him.
video
It's Red! But not the other Red who isn't this Red. Things sure are confusing now... But he's a bit solemn at the mention of Soren. It reminds him of Ikki.]
That's okay Red, we can play another time. I've been fine. And Soren - he should be fine, too. But he doesn't live here anymore. Raven's been taking care of him since Ikki left.

[POOL PARTY ACTION] Wan would not be Wan if he didn't do something stupid and dangerous
He hops on the slide, and at first it may seem that he's not about to do something completely stupid. But no, making reasonable decisions is not his destiny. As soon as he starts sliding, Wan uses his firebending to basically jet propel himself into the pool. Because slides are fun, high speeds are fun, therefore nothing would be more fun than sliding at really high speeds.
Of course he doesn't have enough experience to know that at a certain point hitting water is no softer than hitting the ground. So either a waterbender is going to soften the blow for him or he is going to wake up tomorrow with some very painful bruises.
Also there will be a minor tidal wave.]
[POOL PARTY ACTION] Wan you loser. XD
Wan.... [She shakes her head.
Wan may notice that her tone and demeanor are somewhat different from the last time they spoke. Someone here temporarily has her memories back, which should make this conversation interesting.]
[POOL PARTY ACTION] sorry this took so long college is kicking my butt
[POOL PARTY ACTION] No worries, man--I remember those days all too well. @_@

Still, he has some questions, and hey the guy seems friendly enough.]
What does the season have to do with pools? And why would you ...play in a pool?
[Pools were for swimming training and survival training. They had never been very fun exercises, especially the full gear escape one.]

Why wouldn't he show up?!
Masaomi does indeed show up, his scar (left side) and pink wings exposed for being out in his suit, and he's trying to chat people up a little or... well, sit at the edge of the pool with Linda. Both of those. Also just sort of watching and smiling ]

action!
If she's not in the pool then she's on the trampoline all dried off. Airbending helps get great height both for her and other people who might be jumping with her too. She's being careful so as to knock anyone off-balance or off the trampoline.]
no subject
After he's dried a bit, he hops on over to the trampoline to join her.]
Room for one more?

Crossing his arms, he briefly ponders using Aero spells to achieve the same result. Hmm... Well, first thing's first.]
Man, I never would've thought of using air to jump like that. I'll have to remember that for later.

[Such action. Much cannonballs. Wow.]
Sokka will mainly either be shooting himself down the slide from the second floor (possibly doing this again and again as needed) or alternatively lounging by the side of the pool with a lemonade or some other fruity drink, soaking up the warmth of the sun.]

It's something to do. It's not being alone in a quiet house. He's happy to talk if anyone comes by, but otherwise he'll just keep to himself.
Not really his sort of party, anyway. Not nearly enough alcohol.]

So anyone looking for her might find her hiding around a corner of the house, waterbending at the ready for anyone that walks by- that is, if she doesn't find and throw water in their faces first.

Okay no no no no let's be more clear here, Masaomi Kida has been lurking by pool's edge with his mouse for a long while now, but hasn't really gotten in yet. His pink wings are fluttering, and maybe he's had his toes in, but now he's standing to go and check for a drink on the inside but.
Then Linda says something so back turned. All that good stuff. Prime to be pushed or splashed ]

But Zuko hasn't come back to the house and he knows it's because of him. People were trying to be happy and all he could feel was like they were staring at him and hating him behind his back. It made it hard to join in the fun. They'd been a family and he'd messed it up.
Kai was good at putting on a false face, though. He'd learned how to maintain the long con. And as far as anyone else there would see, he was smiling and enjoying himself. He just wasn't getting down from the roof.
He really hoped Zuko showed up so he could talk to him.]
[Action] /muffled Jaws theme in the distance
Watching.
For that perfect moment when the kid's eyes are shut, totally content. Really taking in the nice warm rays of the sunshine without a care in the world. And then? Wan will set his plan into motion. Sneaking up on the roof, tip toeing his way over to Kai as silently as he can and-
Dropping an ice cube on his bare chest. Or maybe the drippy, icy cold waters that was once and ice cube.
Playing pranks on bullies is A+ entertainment for him. Even if Kai is a kid he still bullied one of his best friends out of the house. So he is really not inclined to show him any mercy.]

He's clearly enjoying himself from the amount of splashing. Though anyone looking closely might notice that he can't possibly just be moving that much water around with his hands.]

[action] fashionably late to the party
Those lounging by the side of the pool may get hit by the splash that ensues. For a few seconds, Ven lingers under the water's surface before springing back up and shaking his head like a wet dog. Miraculously, his spiky hair pops back into its natural shape.
Though he starts off innocently swimming around, after a while, he decides to have a little fun. With a bit of wind, he may end up kicking up some small waves. Better think fast!]

Well, me and Toph made it together the... second-to-last time she was here! But I've been making sure it stays solid since then. [Since slides made out of earth won't always stay for long, without regular earthbending check-ups.] Like it?
