Who: Katara & everyone!
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: On the Blue Fish, if anyone is so inclined
When: now!

[ katara flashes a brief smile at the communicator, expression genuinely content, but it's clear that she's distracted by something. ]

Have you ever run into someone from your world that you've never met before? In places like here -- like Drift Fleet or Paradisa or Adstringendum or anywhere else. I guess, specifically, I mean... has anyone else ever met someone from their own future?

[ because it's something she's been dwelling on a lot, recently. ]

I have... do you remember Dr. Bashir?

[ she nods, leaning forward slightly. ]

Not well, but I met him.

He came from the future. Not very far but... far enough. [Her expression becomes grim.] A lot can happen in three years.

[ katara's expression tightens a little at the grimness on beverly's, before she shakes her own head slightly. ]

Are you alright?

[ she wants to talk about who she met - aang's reincarnation, her own children - but it's important to stop, to make sure that beverly doesn't want to talk about something herself first. ]

It's - I'm alright. But whenever I go home, I'll be going back to a war, a war that hasn't happened yet from my perspective. For Julian though... he's a prisoner of war. Not knowing what's happening to him is difficult.

[She tries to give Katara a reassuring smile, but it falters a little.]

I'll be fine, I promise. What was it that you wanted to talk about?

Mmhm. [ a soft hum of agreement. ] Seems to be all I ever do these days.

Yeah? [ there's a polite smile on her face, worn well with the curiosity. ] Do you mean just a few years, or...?

Decades, actually. The lot of them.

I met my son. Or, uh - the son I'll have someday, apparently. [ her brow knits thoughtfully here. ] He was my dad's age.

[ bloody hell. now, peggy's met a friend's son -- and that had seemed impossible enough. but this?

simply: ] Must've been one hell of a meeting.

Two of them, actually. [Shawn sighs a little, blowing his hair out of his face.] My best friend and his baby girl.

Which was... Man, I still can't wrap my head around it. It was weird.

I met one of my grandchildren.

[ there's a long-suffering expression on her own face. ]

I'm sixteen.

Uh.

[He stares at her for what feels like forever, wanting to say something but not pulling himself together long enough until--]

I think you just beat everyone here in the weird department.

Hey!

[ she's a little defensive now. ]

That doesn't make ME weird!

Nope, not even remotely.

[he flashes her an apologetic smile]

I'm really sorry that you got to meet your grandkids before you even met your husband. That's gotta feel so weird.

Not anyone who knew me specifically, but I constantly meet people from my world's future. [...] Sounds like a lot is going to happen.

[To put it mildly from someone from 1898. But he can tell this isn't what Katara means]

Who did you meet?

Um! My granddaughter. And Aang's next reincarnation. Among others. It.. took a pretty long time to adjust to.

What?!

Aang reincarnated as your granddaughter?! [HOLY SHIT!!]

Wh- no! No, they're two separate people!

[ AHHHHahaha.... ]

O-Oh-

Oops, I misheard- sorry!

So you met both of them? T-That must've been odd!

Why are you asking?

[ zuko is literally texting katara one room over he's just lazy af ]

Mako, Jinora, Asami...

[ etc etc etc ]

I've met Asami. And Mako, I think.

[ they sound familiar, anyway. maybe. ]

But I meant why are you asking right now.

Edited 2015-12-02 03:18 (UTC)

Why not now?

[ katara: pointlessly antagonistic with zuko for literally no reason. she sighs and sends a second message. ]

I've been remembering more about them. Just wondering if I'll see them again, I guess.
