08 Water Whips .//. Dorothy was never quite this badass. (Video + Action R32)  
[The feed comes on and the first thing noticeable is the hiss of steam. As it begins to clear there's a shot of Kishi and Jet facing off in an intense stare down. It seems like the two are fighting unsupervised until Katara's voice pipes up from off screen, not the least bit alarmed.]

Alright, Kishi, nice work! Jet, you've gotten so much stronger, and you were even at a type disadvantage! I'm proud of you both.

[She grins, happy, hearty, and perfectly healthy as one can see, patting Kishi affectionately on the broad side of her nose, then rubbing Jet's equestrian snout.]

[Yes, Katara is training her team outside of Violet City. The camera is actually being operated, however, by Poliwhirl. He loves to show off for the ladies but he also believes in giving credit where credit is due. His trainer and his team mates have been working hard to get ready to take on the first gym leader and since Katara's not the type to put this sort of video out there.

A large shadow suddenly looms up over the water bender, bearing down on her with a deafening roar and a wide, gaping mouth full of sharp teeth, and an angry looking glare.

Katara just turns to the Gyarados, smiling calmly as before.]

And you too of course, Naila. [BAM!

Have a Gyarados lying on it's side at your feet, Katara. Yes. OF COURSE me too. Now give me rubsies.]
Aww, does my big tough fighter want a belly rub?

Trainer obliges after a tolerable smirk, quite accustomed to spoiling her big jolly giant with attention after a hard training session. Well, Sokka's. Katara is doing her best to take good care of the two she's been charged with. Fluffy is already evolved, in fact, and quite happily settled off to the side with Poliwag and Pakku eating some berries and Pokemon food. It seems like just now that Katara finally notices that the gear is on.]


Poliwag, what are you-- Hey! You should warn me before you turn that thing on! [She just laughs, though, closing the distance between the two and then stooping down until she can sit comfortably. She takes the gear and lets the water type get comfortable in her lap.]

Hey guys! Sorry, he always seems to find a way to sneak this thing out when I'm not looking, I think he's starting to get better at working it than I am.

Poli!

[There's a short chuckle, she pats him on the head between the eyes and keeps going.]

Sorry for worrying you guys last week, I'm fine, as you can see for yourselves. GREAT, actually! Zuko, if you're watching this I need to talk to you later. I guess I might have to text you though, you never seem to be on at the same time that I am anymore.

If you'll excuse me though, guys, we could all do for a break. Later!

[There's one last glimpse of Katara's cheerful face and then the feed cuts off.]

[Cheerful Katara? Say it ain't so.]

Oh how quaint. I think I might actually cry.

[Her pichu could take all you chumps.]

[And good feeling gone. Katara's eyes narrow, not that Azula can see it, but she can probably hear the displeasure in the shocked silence that follows.]

When did YOU get here? [There's no hiding the anger in her voice. Katara just wonders what point Azula came from.]

Oh, I'm sorry! I generally don't spare greetings for people who are trying to kill my friends and I! [Let's see if you still say that after a match.]

I'm really not in the mood for your games, Azula. I have better things to do. [Wary as hell, because not for even a second will she trust her.]

[Oh how I would love to counter troll you, but knowing you you'd find a way to change history in your favor if I did. >8| She puts on a smirk, which by the end of her sentence turns into a smile.]

You know what the nice thing about these gears is? I don't have to deal with you if I don't want to. I'm hanging up now!

[Cuts feed.]

[Azula's not liking this change in tone. Not one bit. You know something, Katara. And you're going to tell her what it is. Whether you like it or not. After the feed cuts, Azula switches to text to leave a message.]

Oh. Then I suppose that means you didn't know. I'm not surprised. The unimportant ones are always the last to find out.

[Right. She doesn't give up. Katara rolls her eyes and debates responding, glaring at her gear before relenting.

Just don't let her trick you into saying anything specific. Let's see if two can play this mind trick game.]


How ironic of you to say so, I couldn't agree more.

[This tiny girl could kick his ass. Okay.]

Thank you for the nod towards those of us who wondered after you health earlier. I'm relieved to see you up and about.

[She does sort of have the advantage of "magical" elemental abilities. Take those away and she doesn't have much.

Youji gets a cheerful smile.]
Hey, of course. Thanks for worrying, though it feels kind of weird to say so.

Especially because I didn't do anything to be thanked for.

[That's not exactly difficult to do, either, still-- take her thanks!] It's still nice to know people are thinking about you and wanting you to get better.

Can't imagine you'd ever be forced to think otherwise. Especially not with all of these creatures around.

That's right, you were asleep for awhile, huh?

[Heather had sort of been... oblivious to the world lately on account of catching up with her father.]

Good t'see you came out of it okay.

Thanks Heather. [She probably has managed not to catch this fact over the last few weeks, between eggs and traveling and non-stop training-- and still they need more time for the gym! D: ]

It was definitely worth it. I had very pleasant "dreams". [Grins.] How are things on your end?

Oh? Pleasant ones, huh? That's a nice change from the norm. [She's used to people coming back traumatized and in need of serious hugs.]

Things are fine. Nothing epic to report.
