03 Water Whips // Video + Action - Cherrygrove City

I can't find Sokka anywhere. [Katara looks visibly shaken. The feed shows that she's in Sokka's room at the Cherrygrove inn. If you could see her you'd know her knuckles are almost white from clutching the gear so hard. She knows what's up.] His things, and some of his Pokemon, they were in his room when I went in this afternoon, but he's gone, and I can't reach him on his gear. If... if any of you find his Pokemon, please, just let me know. I want to make sure whoever finds them will take good care of them.

[Katara's eyes shake as she cuts the feed abruptly. She doesn't want people to see her cry.]

(ooc: Responses will be delayed while Katara tries to pull herself together off screen. Also: Anyone that knows Katara in Cherrygrove is welcome to drop by, she'd have let them know where she was staying.)

[ Giotto has no idea who this Sokka person is, or what pokemon he has, but Giotto doesn't like to see a girl so up set so... ]

My dear tell me what pokemon he had, and if I find one I will be sure to return it to you. [ magical hyper intuition says he wont find one... BUT he had to offer! ]

[After a few moments Katara comes back on screen, quickly wiping at her eyes.] Well, I have three of them here, but his Cubone Cudgel and his Surskit are missing. Cubone looks like this.

[There's a brief shuffle of the gear before it turns onto Carla, who looks a bit depressed.] And Surskit is a bug water type, I don't have one I could show you though. [Katara offers him the best smile she can muster.] Thanks, Ieyatsu.

[It takes a bit before Katara finally gets to replying, her eyes are a little red, but she seems to have gotten a bit of a grip.]

Yeah, I guess. Just.... I don't know. I'm glad he got to go back home, I'm sure he missed Suki and the others.

[Just like I do now.]

[Katara looks up a bit hopeful at that, then sighs quietly. If it's relief or something else is unclear. She appreciates that Claire thought to check up on her either way.]

I guess that's true. I hadn't thought of that. [Tiny smile of hope for your effort, sister friend. <3]

I should take care of them until then. I can't find his Cubone, Cudgel. Would you mind keeping an eye out for her, Claire?

(deleted comment)

Thanks, Claire. I'll probably head that way after I meet up with Ed. [~~Unless I end up killing him on sight. >8[~~]

(deleted comment)

[~~I totally promised to show the n00b the ropes before I found out exactly how short his fuse is. He's like ten times worse than Zuko ever was.~~]

She's getting stronger, actually. She's already level nine now. [Katara is feeling better, she wants to be able to give Claire good news.] She isn't hitting me anymore, either, at least not like before. Still sometimes when I'm not doing things at her pace, but you know... Pokemon, right?

(deleted comment)

[BD; <-- This face Claire, only this face.]

I'm glad I could be. But I think you probably mean aggressive instead of active. Spirits help you if you ever run into another Growlithe. [If you were trying to get a laugh out of Katara it worked.]

(deleted comment)

[Katara laughs more.]

N-Now that I think about it, I think there was a Polardog like that back home once.

(deleted comment)

Exactly! Well, I've only ever seen one... "bear", but they looked like that, just white.

(deleted comment)

They've always been like that, but if you want weird, the Earth King had a pet named Bosco that was just... a bear. Not a Platypus bear, or Skunk Bear, Armadillo Bear, or Gopher Bear.

Just a... BEAR.

(deleted comment)

Nope, you have it completely backwards. [But she's grinning to show that she's teasing, even though yeah she really does think that's backwards.] That's how all the animals on our world are: Armadillo lions, turtle ducks, hippo cows, koala sheep, flying bison, badger frogs, and wolf bats. I mean, just to name a few.

[How do you like that, Claire? How do you like that?]

(deleted comment)

Do Eel hounds or Koala otters count?

[HNNNGH. He is tempted to start crying himself since he is that sympathetic towards people.]

Um... Katara-san. I know it's a bad question, but... What are you going to do now?

It's okay, Cruz. I promised I'd meet Ed here to show him the ropes. After that, I don't know. I guess I'll head to Violet. [And see if she couldn't still meet up with to help Zuko.] That was the original plan.

[She scrubs over her eyes with the back of her arm. GET IT TOGETHER GIRL. Don't make Cruz cry too! No reason for two people to be all emo.]

Edited 2011-04-19 23:31 (UTC)

[FFF THINK CRUZ THINK. FIND A WAY TO LIGHTEN THE MOOD.]

Um, um! I know it's rather sudden, but... Would you like to hear a joke...??

[Oh God bless your heart Cruz. Katara recognizes the attempt for what it is, looking at the gear again with an attempted smile.]

Sure.

[Sokka liked jokes, a lot. Even ~~especially~~ corny ones. Maybe I can remember it for when I go home too.]

Okay! What does one Geodude say to the other Geodude?

What does it say? [Smile of anticipation ~~over the hollow ache of loneliness~~.]

Let's rock. ♥

[Oh God so corny but so cute. It actually earns a genuine laugh.]

I have to remember that, for when I see him again. I'm sure he'd love that joke.

Hahaha! I've got plenty more where that came from! I just hope it cheered you up a little.

It did, Cruz, thank you. [She smiles a little again, trying to stay positive. She can deal with it, he did after all, right?]

_{[... She was the one who was looking for her friends, wasn't she?]}

... Another disappearance, huh.

I'm sorry.

_{[It... kinda sucked that the girl's first experience with one of the ever-more-frequent vanishing acts would be with someone she knew back home.]}

[Have a red-eyed Katara face, Heather, which is trying to show gratitude for the concern.]

Yeah, I think so. I'll wait for a little while to see, but... from what I hear it's the only explanation for his gear not being reachable.

[She gives her eyes another scrub with the heel of her hand, trying to suck it up.]

_{[Heather's not honestly the most touchy-feely person in the world. But for things like this... she is very sympathetic.]}

S'happened to me, too.

He might come back, though. There's always a chance.

[Claire too, so you'd think Katara was better prepared for it, but she just finally met up with him again.]

Yeah, there's always that.

[A short beat] I'm sorry.

It's okay.

_{[HE GOT BETTER-- or rather, he literally just re-appeared in Johto. And Heather could not be happier. But... she's not gonna talk about that because no one dealing with a disappearance needed to hear her potential happy ending.]}

I hope you get him back.

Thanks Heather. [She smiles a bit.] It might be better if he doesn't, at least, maybe. He's got a girlfriend back home that I'm sure he missed, and if I'm not missing there then at least I know he's with everyone.

Well-- as long as he's okay back there!

_{[Heather's sort of used to people having BAD LIVES when they go back, sob.]}

[Estelle is the picture of empathy right now]

Is he very important to you?

[Katara appreciates it, since she's really got no one else there right then but the Pokemon, who are in just as much need of comfort as she is.]

Yeah, he's my brother.

[oh, dear. Estelle wishes she could be there in person, it might be more helpful]

Was he the only other person from your world here?

Not when I got here, there's a friend here too.

[You're helping just by talking to her, rest assured. Better than leaving her alone with her thoughts waiting for Ed to show up.]

Edited 2011-04-20 03:50 (UTC)

[a sweet smile]

That will help you feel less alone.

[You're so sweet worrying about a total stranger. ;0;

Small smile.]

You're right. Thanks. I'm Katara, by the way.

[/worries about everyone ever]

I'm Estelle. It's nice to meet you Katara.

[Make room to worry about you too! :<]

You too, Estelle.

I'm sorry he went home, but there's always the chance he will be back someday!
