Who: Mantis and All!

Broadcast: Yes

Action: Yes

When: Today

Planetside - Action

Libraries. They're repositories of information and a likely candidate for finding information on...just about anything, really. Mantis is therefore very soon distracted by the possibility of entertainment across the many star systems. He's up off his feet, that is to say, in the air and going between shelves with books trailing after him like ducklings. A world of failed dreams ought to have at least one decent novel hidden among the relics of the past. He pauses at several points before setting books down or picking new ones off the shelves. He may yet be a while with all of it.

Iskaulit - Broadcast/Action

In contrast to his grace in the air, Mantis is still struggling to maintain composure and grace upon the ice, but he is trying damn it. The video feed opens up to him doing slow, large spins on the ice, staring down as much at his feet as he is the rink itself. He doesn't stumble or find his knees buckling nearly as often as he used to, although he does visibly strain from all the bending he needs to do in order to turn smoothly. He holds his hands out as he goes into slightly wider spins. Then he rises suddenly, gasping when his feet leave the ice, if only by a small amount. Mantis quickly catches himself before he can spill out on the rink and floats low in the air. He does a small turn in the air, looking down at his limbs before settling back down on his feet.

Who: Katara
Broadcast: Written, Video
Action: Yes! Blue Fish and Planet
When: Message sent Monday, midmorning. Some backdated shuffle action.

[After giving it some thought, Katara decided to make an open network post. She wanted to write it out, but as part of her habit from living with Toph, she decided to both transcribe and say it aloud:]

I want to thank the person who put the memorial into place. If you get in touch with me, I can help you get the number to fill in.

I know that a lot of us have been pretty impacted by what we found here. I don’t know how long we’re usually on a planet, but I was thinking… it might be good to have some kind of remembering ceremony by the memorial? It feels important to find a way to show honor to the lives that were lost here. I don’t know what kind of funeral rites they would have preferred, and there’s no way to respectfully move them, so… maybe some fire and some music? Does anyone have any ideas?

I know that this might not be for them as much as it is for us, but… I think that’s important too.

(OOC: Please feel free to threadjack all up in this conversation; Katara would like to make this a community effort, because it feels like it’s something that’s needed to her.)
