Twister!

Who: You!
What: WHOOSH
When: The 18th, at 5:23 PM.
Where: Through the village (seen on this map)
Summary: A tornado blows through Luceti! It's loud, windy, and dangerous. React?
Rating: B for Blustery

It had been an unusually warm day for October. Dark clouds loomed in the day and had been accompanied by strong winds. A strange green aura tinted the clouds in the west before it finally happened. It was loud. Deafeningly loud for those near it, like a freight train hurling itself through the sky. Dust and debris whipped up inside it and anything not securely fastened was pulled towards it, sometimes right off the ground. A tornado had formed in Luceti and it was moving fast. Faster than a person could run or follow.

The smart people would be staying inside. The not so smart? Hopefully they could handle it.

((I'd suggest checking this comment out to get an idea for how tornadoes work! A plotting thread exists here as well.)

That's true, Ikki! [Back to making that hot cocoa.] Do you know where firebenders get their fire from?

[breezing]

Inside of them, right? I like to think there's air inside me, too!

[markofthebrave]

Very close! Very, very close. Fire [dramatic cause] comes from the breath. The spirit.

[breezing]

So there are firebenders who have trouble making fire?

[markofthebrave]

[Katara's eyebrows quirked.]

What makes you say that?

[breezing]

Well, what if they get a cold? Then sometimes it's hard to breathe!

[ child logic. ]

[markofthebrave]

[Katara laughed.]

It's hard to do just about anything when you have a cold. [She moved to poke Ikki lightly in the side.] I bet even you have a hard time bending then. But it doesn't stop you.

[breezing]

Ahahaha, sometimes it makes it worse! 'Cause of sneezing. [ Ikki just assumes Katara has seen that sort of thing courtesy Aang. ]

[markofthebrave]

[She laughed again.] That's true! But what about when your nose gets all stuffed up?

[breezing]

Then I like to breathe in tea steam?

[ ...Or stuff comes out of her nose, uh. ]

Do you ever waterbend on accident?

[markofthebrave]

No, never by accident. Although when I was learning, the movements didn't always do what I wanted them to do.

[breezing]

What did they do? [ She sounds curious, although that's no surprise; Ikki is always curious for any scrap of information anyone can give her, here and at home - unless that information isn't on a topic she's currently focused on, but what can you do?

Then, as if to help Katara feel better about that admission: ] My first time on the airbending gates didn't go very well at all.

[markofthebrave]

[Katara smiles.] Well... right after Sokka and I met Aang, he became the prisoner of the Fire Nation. Do you know this story?

[breezing]

From bedtime stories with grandpa. But I only know what he said!

[ As in, she'll listen to Katara's side. ]
