Who: Katara and anyone!
Broadcast: Fleet-wide video.
Action: On the Marsiva.
When: March 20th.

[ the bunk itself might be unfamiliar, but waking in an unfamiliar place isn't - not with as much time as she'd spent trying to manage herself in paradisa, at least. she frowns a little, trying to make sense of the new knowledge she has access to.

ugh.

she swings her legs over the edge of the bunk, grabbing at her communicator and squinting a little at the screen. her memories felt foggy, and nothing about that was pleasant. ]

Hello? Um - it's Katara. I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that the Castle's behind this?

[ she sounds vaguely hopeful, but- no, katara, no. you are blaming the wrong jamjar. please try again. ]

Katara, is that you?

[Oh hey that's a familiar voice. And a mention of a castle too! Those two things distract him enough that he is totally forgetting he never mentioned to Sokka that he knew his sister. ]

Are you talking about Paradisa?

Video

[kyasdaughter]

Allen?

[ there's a weird sort of relief on her face here, because something about this whole situation just isn't lining up like it should. it doesn't feel like the castle's magic, but what else could it be? ]

Yeah, of course. [ her words are sure, but her tone isn't quite as firm. ] It's up to something again, isn't it?

Video

[save_the_souls]

Oh good, you remember.

[He smiles in a bit of relief. It's always nice being remembered. Less chance you sound like a crazy person!]

Ah...not exactly? This isn't actually the castle's doing- it's someone else's.

Video

[kyasdaughter]

Of course I do.

[ or maybe the 'of course' is silly. maybe this is something that shouldn't be taken for granted, because even now, her memories of the castle seem so far away. ]

Then whose -- ?

Video

[save_the_souls]

They're called Atroma. Apparently they kidnap people from many different worlds and put them on spaceships for...a reality show.

Your brother's here too.

Video

[kyasdaughter]

Sokka's here?

[ WELL that successfully catches her attention, at least. ]

Where is he? Is he alright? And -

[ how does she even ask this. ]

Allen, what's a reality show?

Video

[save_the_souls]

He's fine! We're on the same ship. You'll probably hear from him soon enough.

And ah...did you ever watch a movie in Paradisa? Or a TV show? Reality shows are apparently...sort of like that.

Video

[kyasdaughter]

[ hahaha she didn't have a great experience with movies... ]

That's - um. Okay.

[ and katara takes a measured breath. ]

You know, I really don't know why I'm surprised by anything anymore.

Video

[save_the_souls]

It's alright, I don't think any of us expected to wind up in a place like this after the castle.

But, at least there's a few of us here from Paradisa. I suppose Atroma likes us for some reason.

Video

[kyasdaughter]

I guess Atroma brought us here, then?

Video

[save_the_souls]

Mm, they did.

Right now you should be Marsiva. You'll probably be assigned to a new ship tomorrow.

Video

[kyasdaughter]

Right.

[ she takes a breath, holds it, and then, with a little frown: ]

I know a lot of stuff I shouldn't. [ and even knowing why doesn't make the feeling any less weird. ] How long have you been here?

Video

[save_the_souls]

It takes awhile to get used to that. [It still unnerves him a bit.]

...It's been almost six months for me now.

Video

[alwayscomeback]

[Sokka only partially listens to newbies arriving. It's usually the same song and dance of where am, what am I doing here, how do I get back, blah blah blah. He doesn't have the patience to keep dealing with it all the time. But that voice, that voice makes him pay attention.

HE KNOWS THAT VOICE.]

Katara?!!

[There's a crash of him falling into whatever he's building at the moment, as he scrambles for his communicator. There's a faint 'ow', before he picked it up, pressing his face to the screen. IT IS HER!!! ]

Katara!!! You're here!!!

Action..kinda

[alwayscomeback]

[There might be some shouting coming from the cargo hold. Allen. ALLEN. ]

HOW DO YOU KNOW MY SISTER?!!!!

Video

[kyasdaughter]

Great.

[ katara's voice is soft and full of helpless exasperation. ]

But - at least we're not alone, I guess. Ugh, it's so weird- it feels like everything happened a thousand years ago and yesterday at the same time.

Action-ish

[save_the_souls]

[Oh. Right.]

...Shite.

[Calling back!]

I c-can explain!

Video

[kyasdaughter]

Sokka!

[ katara's face brightens instantly, because - okay, well, she doesn't love the fact that either of them have been kidnapped by some mysterious force again, but if it's going to happen? they might as well be together.

she'd missed him so much in paradisa, and having those memories flooding back was weird. ]

Hey, are you okay? You're not hurt or anything, are you?

Video

[save_the_souls]

Mm, I know what you mean.

[Some memories were so vivid in his mind, while others- felt so far away. So fuzzy. It was...beyond strange]

But at least you remember things! I've seen familiar faces here, but a lot of them don't remember anything about the castle. So it's nice to not sound insane.

Video

[kyasdaughter]

-- so you're on the same ship as Sokka, huh?

[ the surprise of what she just overheard is enough to crack the tension. omg pardon her while she just cracks up a little bit. ]

[alwayscomeback]

[He looks so stupidly happy. If he can't get home, at least if his loved ones can be here he knows they're safe. ]

I'm fine! I mean- uh my leg was broken, but that was creepily fixed when I got here. Everything is in working order.

Are you okay?

[Because the last time he saw you, they were heading into their last battle. PLEASE BE OKAY. ]

[alwayscomeback]

[He appears, suddenly, by the door. Pointing, and probably freaking out a little.]

Oh, you better!

[kyasdaughter]

[ she winces visibly, trying to piece together the story on her own as much as she can. his leg was broken? timelines didn't sync up in paradisa, either, and if that was still the case here- ]

From the attack on the Fire Nation? Is that what was happening when you came here?

[ or did you break your leg again? ]

[save_the_souls]

I will! Calm down!

[SHEESH]

Remember that Paradisa place I've mentioned? She was there too- for a little while. That's how I know her.

Video

[save_the_souls]

- Ah, yes.

He's our captain!
