[ open ] .002 though I am empty, I still warn the sailors on their way
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.)
[The confetti is still as annoying as the last time it happened, but Katara is happy to be on her brother’s ship. She’ll want to wander around and meet everyone, though no doubt Sokka will soon join her to give her an Official Tour. (Did she really need to know every single detail about the ship and all its history? Probably not, but now she does, unless someone saves her.) She’ll spend some time in the kitchen and try to figure out what she needs to bring up from the planet, and then do the same thing in her new room.
Before she heads back down to the planet, she’s going to try to linger long enough to meet everyone.]
[Since the Blue Fish will likely be her permanent home as long as she’s on the fleet, that means that Katara will be doing what she can to take advantage of the free… everything. Her first stop is a hardware store where she picks up a wheelbarrow and several cans of water-based paint. The color - some shade of blue, though she wants something a little lighter too. She’ll be there pondering over choices for a bit.
She also has no qualms about stealing a good idea from the Vanquish when she sees it, and will pick up a chalkboard for the kitchen there as well. She spends a long time staring at a small electrically powered fountain for noise, trying to decide whether or not to get it. For now, she walks away.]
Hmm… maybe I should get different chair too?
[So feel free to find her, either at the hardware store or wheelbarrowing her way back to the shuttles! After dropping the paint off in the cargo hold, she’ll return once more to the planet for a bunch of canned fruits and vegetables and rice… and maybe go back for that fountain.]

Action
[Since clearly the ship had changed so it had been unnecessary to start them out like that...]
Action
[He hated it so much.]
Action
[Ugh, that seems so unnecessary.]
Action
You know, I can't remember. A while. We could only buy so many upgrades at a time, because the crew was a lot smaller.
Action
Anyway, I'm thinking of painting my room while we're here. You can pick out some paint for your room too, if you want.
[If he hasn't painted his walls already?]
Action
[He did, but it was YEARS ago. ]
You know, yo can totally put some symbol on your door, too, like everyone else. It's like, a tradition.
Action
Tradition?
[Do tell her more.
Especially since the mun is not sure of what you speak?]Action
Yeah! I painted the water tribe symbol on my door, Riona and Alistair have the Cousland family arms, Eithan has a sun. Not everyone does it, of course, but it's always a fun thing. You know, to say "here sleepeths Katara".
Action
[She's not sure how she feels about doing something permanent, marking a door like it's her home.
But she was not, and never shall be a morning person. People should be warned.]
Action
I can absolutely allow that to be a thing, yes. I think that's an important sign for everyone on board.
Action
It's probably better that they're warned. [Agreeing lightly.
This is so strange, Sokka, you know?]
Action
I mean, if I didn't know any better, I know I'd like to be warned. It's a public service, really.
Action
Just what are you saying.
[ Clearly, it's a trap. ]
Action
Just saving them from the Wrath of Morning Katara. It's a thing, you know. A scary thing.
Action
[And then just - mischief.]
Then that means you won't be trying to make me get up to make you breakfast, right?
Action
[Wait. He's been hussled.]
Hey, heeeeeeeeeey, I didn't quite say that.
Action
[Just imagine how terrifying she'll be if she tries, bro.]
Action
No. Nope. Definitely not telling you that.
Action
Action
Hmm, I think I'll go for blue. Might was well keep with the theme.
Action
Okay, good.
[ And Katara pauses and for what is probably the 8th time, eyes up a small, assemble-it-yourself mostly plastic fountain. She makes no move to pick it up, but she does look visibly torn. ]
Action
You know you waaaaaaaaaaaant iiiit~
Action
Action
[He picks it up, raising it so it obscures his face, then, in a ridiculously high voice: ]
You know you want to take me home Katara. I'm so pretty. You should just buy me
Action
First of all, I can't buy anything, it's all free. Secondly, I don't want it. It just - reminds me of something, that's all.
