[After Katie makes an offer to Jack this morning, she finally braves the teleporters to come travelling into town from the beach the way any normal person would.  Which is annoying to the extreme, and she really needs to ask someone about her lost magic, because just hopping over the mountain range was extraordinarily convenient.  But she has people to check in on in the wake of the huge storm, now she's feeling a lot more stable. 

Her friends, to make sure they're okay.  And those she ran into in the forest, to make sure they're okay.

Ergo, her stops are:

Houses #5, #6, and #7
House Avatar
And she's also looking for a weird guy in a dirty trenchcoat.  To  apologise for being so rude, if nothing else. 
Last of all, Raine.

She's very quietly kind of stomping through the street, though she'll stop to jump her way through any leaves or even water still left pooled behind.  Still a kid, after all.]




((ooc:  sob this will be terribly slow, but timing is important.   Anyone's welcome to tag even if Katie is specifically looking for certain people, but I will be excruciatingly slow for a few days.  Annnd given this is the aftermath of some threads that are still not finished yet, those on Katie's last post are welcome to placeholder this post and we can do that thread once we finish the first one.))

[What luck you have Katie! As a groggy looking Vash opens the door when you come calling. Something about his bed being destroyed and sleeping on the couch lately...]

Oh, Katie! [Although Vash is never too tired to put a smile on for a kid.] What are you up to today? [Girl scout cookies!? 8D]

[flickerflash]

[That is a very... casual way of greeting someone who ran off and left you in a forest full of hallucinations. Katie shifts hesitantly on the doorstep.]


...you look tired.

[goldenglasses]

[Hey, he LIKED his hallucinations until they ended!] Ah, well, my room is a little... wet right now.

[flickerflash]

[Not all of your echoes are positive, Vash. That's why she's worried.]

Are there holes in your wall?

[Today, Peeta sits at the fountain with a sketch pad and colored pencils, glancing up repeatedly at a large puddle. He has replicated the puddle on the paper, but added, amidst the glimmer of water and green of grass, a twelve-year-old girl bent over the water to see her reflection. The reflection shows her not in her plain clothes, but in a white dress with beautiful wings.]

[flickerflash]

[It's after she's visited three of her four houses that Katie passes through the plaza, on her way to see Sokka and Katara. She's tired and drained already, and wondering how best to recoup some of her glamour.

So an artist by the fountain is a very, very wonderful encounter by now. It draws Katie from her determined path, and she wanders up to peer at what he's doing.

Ah. Her eyes flick across the fountain itself before she speaks up.]

Someone you know?

[victorbychance]

[He doesn't look up from his work, but the pencil slows.] Yeah. A good friend.

[He swipes over the wings with an opalescent pencil.] I think I'm gonna have to paint it when I get home.

PLACEHOLDER AHOY

[Dirty trench coat guy is sitting on a bench in the center of town. He doesn't look particularly destroyed by anything Katie did, at any rate.]

\o/

[flickerflash]

[Katie approaches quietly and sort of stands a few feet away with her fingers linked behind her back.]

...

Hello.

[bondsprofoundly]

[Castiel glances up at her. Oh, the little possessed girl.]

Hello.

[wise_maiden]

[Raine is still getting around in the aftermath of everything, so when this particular girl crosses her path as she makes her way through the village, she wastes no time in stopping her for a hello, at least.]

Katie!

[flickerflash]

[Katie turns with a start, and then immediately glances sharply down at Raine's feet before offering her teacher a shy smile.]

I wasn't looking for you at all. Did you stay out of the water?

[wise_maiden]

[The teacher's issue with the water and storms is evident all around her, even if she currently seems calm.]

There were times when it was unavoidable, but it could have been worse, all things considered. How did you fare?

[herotypical]

[ if she ventures as far as buffy's room, she'll find the blonde asleep. sore and asleep. ]

[flickerflash]

[Katie first walks all around the house, inspecting it for damage.

Assuming somebody else is home to let her in, she will tap quietly at Buffy's bedroom door soon afterward.]

[herotypical]

[ she feels like a whale. a petite blonde beached whale. all this lazing about and not being on her feet and being hurt.

it's miserable. ]

Come in -- for all that's good and merciful and not boring, please come in.

[markofthebrave]

[Well, Katara's working in her garden... or what's left of it. The holes in the house are covered by a tarp - a temporary measure. They haven't decided yet if it's worth rebuilding or if it's better to wait and see if the restorative shifts are... restored.]

[flickerflash]

[...oh, man. Katie stops dead to stare at the house before padding quietly up to Katara's side.

The garden too, huh.]

How bad is it?

[markofthebrave]

[She jumps a little - Katie is quiet on her feet.]

It's... rebuildable.

[She smiles a little at Katie.]

But it's good to see to you - it's been a while.

[Luke's just leaving the clinic, having spent several days recooperating from the battle. He's in a fairly dour mood after his talk with Shikamaru, not looking where he's going, when the accidentally bumps into Katie, who jumps right in his path to splash into a puddle]

Oh...hey...sorry there kiddo...

[Action]

[flickerflash]

[Katie stumbles back at the sudden adult in her personal space, looking up with an expression that's caught somewhere between annoyance at the interruption and guilt because whoops. >.> Adults don't generally like being splashed.

...and then of course she recognises him and her eyes go wide.]

No, it's okay! It's okay! Did I get water all over you?

[thefinaljedi]

[This one's familiar...but he can't remember a name.]

No...no, its alright. You alright, little lady?

[When Katie comes knocking at House 6, it's a much younger-than-usual Vivi who will answer the door. Her already-smiling face brightens further when she sees the caller is another kid, especially since the girl doesn't seem too much older than her.]

Hi! [Common sense tells her this guest is probably here for one of the grown-ups, but there's a small part of Vivi that hopes fiercely that this girl has actually come to play with her.]

[action]

[flickerflash]

[Katie blinks at the small girl with the ..blue hair. You know, she remembers a girl with blue hair being here when she came by as a kitten.

You kind of have the same sort of echoes.

...

Not that this really means anything's different. She smiles.]

Hello. What's your name?

[action]

[alabastatomboy]

I'm Vivi! I'm staying here for a while.

[She reaches out with both hands to grab one of the girl's and pull her eagerly inside.] Who are you? Do you wanna play?
