Beach Party!?

Who: Anyone who wants to come!
What: BEACH PARTY! (For Katara or something)
When: In the evening, about 7PM
Where: On the beach! Somewhere!
Summary: It's Katara's 17th and while all friends of Team Avatar are invited, anyone else can gatecrash too.
Rating: E for everyone (for God's sake there's going to be seven year olds!)

[A few days before the birthday, Katara's housemates began birthday preparations. Not quite entirely secret, but they made invitations, told friends, spread the word, and so on. Birthday on the beach. Be there or be a loser McButtface without friends.

And so there's a party! With tables! And chairs! And umbrellas! And the sun is setting, but the Malnosso had no taste and put the ocean on the east side of Luceti, so it's a sunset over the mountains which isn't as cool as an ocean sunset. But anyway. There's a volleyball net and, you know, an ocean to swim in. Also Sokka ordered a generator with his mission points and abducted the karaoke machine. It was mostly to provide some music, but people can get up and sing with it too.

As for the food? There's a table for that. It's a bring your own dish affair, since Katara is kind of their team cook and they can't exactly make her own birthday meal, right? So anyone coming can bring whatever they like and set it out. The gang brought some meals of their own, so there's bound to be some cool dishes from the air nomads, water tribe, and fire nation. And cake. A big chocolate cake. Someone made it! We don't know who. (Feel free to dibs being the baker or something if you want.)

And a table! A table for presents! Bring a present, set it there. It's very organized.]

((ooc: It's out on the beach and just a general sort of party affair, so feel free to have characters show up even if they're not friends with the birthday girl. It's a free for all. SO YOU BETTER MINGLE OR THERE'S GONNA BE WORDS.

Now have fun.))

[He feels comforted at first, but the wording of the last sentence leaves him uneasy.]

Thanks. I'm glad. And I... I don't take things for granted about Katara.
generalflirt: (So cool right here)

Really? Because it seems the me that the "Katara" you were in that last Shift is as similar to the "Katara" that I love as the "Katara" I killed.
savedtheworld: (surprised)

[He gives a quick blush at the mention of that Shift which he never wanted to speak of again, but then it fades in the last sentence for some mix of confusion and anger.]

...What?
generalflirt: (I am Me)

[personal profile] generalflirt 2012-07-12 09:29 pm (UTC)(link)
The one I killed. [...] You said you didn't thank me, right? You shouldn't have - I asked you comfort a "Katara" I condemned to execution.

[This is said in a cold, matter of fact sort of tone]
savedtheworld: (serious)

[personal profile] savedtheworld 2012-07-12 09:36 pm (UTC)(link)
[A slight relief amongst the confusion and frustration. He speaks slowly.]

She didn't die. No matter how much that it hurt that she was calling it death, she was still Katara. Her memories just changed. There's only ever been one Katara, and I always love her.
generalflirt: (Haiyore)

Wrong. [And he turns now, to glare at Aang with a very harsh expression he's doing his best to restrain] You couldn't be more wrong if you tried, Aang, and I'm not going to have you disrespect that Katara's memory.
savedtheworld: (aangry)

[He can't think otherwise. This is his anchor. He stares back unflinchingly.]

You can look at it the way you want to, but I saw her on that last night. And she was the same Katara who woke me from the iceberg. She's always the same person underneath any changes. I don't care what you're going to do to me for believing that, but it's what I know in my heart.

Your heart's wrong. [Flatly] The girl you're in love with and the woman I'm in love with are no longer the same person. If you want to build up on a mountain of lies that harms the "Katara," I know, then by all means keep it up. [And he goes to stand now, his teeth gritted] I won't stop you - no, rather, she won't want me to stop you, because she's coddling you in letting you keep that delusion.

[And it's pissing him off.

Gritting his teeth, he looks down at his bracelet one more time. Let the anger go, let the anger go and walk off]

[And he forces a big, goofy grin on his face] Either way, this isn't the time, Aang-kun. It's her birthday, today.

[He doesn't believe most of Masaomi's saying. And he feels a twinge of annoyance whenever Katara's name is preceded by "the" or "that". She's one person. But he only responds to the latter statement, taking a moment to breathe and calm himself down. he doesn't smile yet but tries to churn out some words.]

Yeah, I'm sorry. We should be... fun-bending more. That's what she wants.

That we should, that we should! [And he taps Linda on his head. She nods and goes back to floating him and her int he air on a Magnet Rise]

[Aang remains pensive for a moment, thinking of the "mountain of lies" comment and how Katara seemed to leave out so much about Masaomi. For a moment, he wondered if he was right.

Then he remembered the dance. It was just like back home. Maybe even better. And with every step, they had communicated their trust to each other. These new factors couldn't change or ruin that. He'd stick with the evidence that he saw with his one eyes. Katara is Katara.

Then he lets himself laugh again.]

You're a kind boy, Aang-kun.

[But stupid. Ignorant. Annoying to him. He likes him though, despite all that. Masaomi exhales to himself and motions for Linda to float him out over the water again, to float out and flee this scene and his conversation with the Avatar]
