[Action -> Written on the 18th]

[flickerflash]

[After a conversation with Buffy, Katie's on the hunt. This week, anywhere between the 14th to the 18th, she's looking for a man with red skin who may or may not be incredibly old (by her own thoughts on the matter) but she's reliably informed he might be able to help her.

That's not gonna work out so well, mind. But such is life. On the 18th, she hunts through town as a kitten, because by this time she's getting too much attention. That, and asking fellow cats for possible directions is less attention-getting when you're a cat yourself. 8|




In the end, though, she has no luck. So loathe as she is to use her journal, she tries asking outright on the journals; written and hopefully as anonymous as possible.]

Dear John with the red skin,

Can I have my magic back, please?


[Seems legit.]

Does it change anything?

[Voice]

[markofthewise]

Yeah. You can talk to us. It doesn't need to be a secret.

[Voice]

[flickerflash]

[Hmm.]

Do you think if I told people I'd find out anything new?

[Voice]

[markofthewise]

I don't know. [Perhaps someone already knows something. A killed on the loose?] Maybe.

[Voice]

[flickerflash]

[Katie has at least two leads. Sadly both of them are very much Katie having the wrong idea.]

Perhaps I shall try that, then.

[Of course, she won't do anything of the kind.]

[Voice]

[markofthewise]

[Yeah. He knows that's a lie.]

You should.

[Voice]

[flickerflash]

What am I supposed to say, then? I wonder how polite I need to be. I have a terrible problem with being polite.

[Voice]

[markofthewise]

I don't know. Do you remember anything?

[Voice]

[flickerflash]

[...]

I know he was a lot smaller than me.

[Voice]

[markofthewise]

[Bigger then. No surprise there.]

Anything else?

[Voice]

[flickerflash]

He didn't have any hands.

[Voice]

[markofthewise]

[So. She only saw his hands?]

Must have been quick on his feet, then.

[Voice]

[flickerflash]

[...]

Am I the only one who didn't die?

[Voice]

[markofthewise]

Yeah. Yeah, I think so.

[Voice]

[flickerflash]

[Well, that's...something. So at least there isn't a killer going around preying on kids or anything.

Nope, just her.

...]

Thanks, Sokka.

[She closes her journal.]

[Voice]

[markofthewise]

[... ahh. That's it then. Sokka stares at the journal for a good while after that before he closes it too. Looks like he'd have some tough news to share.]
