[Accidental Voice -> Deliberate Voice]

[And this early evening, the journal will pick up the sound of one small British girl muttering to herself.]

Well, this is very rude. It didn't snow last autumn, you know. I think I ought to complain.

[Huff. Followed by a small ow, barely heard. And silence. Then finally:]

Oh! [And the journal is picked up finally. Because you, the townsfolk, should know the answer to this question. Clearly.] Did we get visited by aliens in the night? I think I've been experimented on. [Okay, that is totally the best thing ever.] I hope they looked like Elvis clones.

Has anyone seen my cat?

Uh huh. [SO SKEPTICAL.]

Oh, hey. Town ahead. Hungry?

[...this is one of those times where she wished her stomach would growl on command, really.]

Not at all. I only ate a few days ago.

[It's a good thing he knows Katie so well.]

Oh, well in that case, you can watch me eat. I'll tell you if it's any good.

Okay. [She smiles, because even if she took that at face value she's sure she can swipe some of that food, okay. >_>]

Have I really been gone for months?

You've really been gone for months. I think you got shorter.

[Maybe. It's hard to tell, since he got taller.]

Probably. I get shorter all the time at home. [Though you are getting a suspicious look. Were you that tall before?] Is the playground still here?

[Possibly not. He's a growing boy.]

Nah, we got rid of it since you weren't using it.

Really? Did all the kids in the village just vanish, then? What about the bomb threats?

Taken out by the bombs. It was tragic.

Is there any wreckage left? I bet it looks very interesting.

Yeah, it's all crooked and jagged and terrible. You'll love it.

I shall have to take pictures. [And her stomach growls again. Time-honoured question for kids everywhere:] Are we there yet?

Just through these trees.

[And lo and behold... Luceti! In all its snowy splendor!]

See? Welcome back.

[Oh, Luceti. It's like she saw you just yesterday. --8|]

Thank you. I haven't seen it in so very long. [She frowns at it, because she wants her months back. Still.] What a shame I had to come back.

At least you won't miss winter. Not... that everyone loves winter. [But she's a kid! So she has to like it.]

I shall have to make giant snow castles and lay siege to the scientists. [...well okay, she has that the wrong way round, but still.]

Good. They have it coming. [Here was are. Seventh Heaven. Sokka opens the door to let her in ~~and should we handwave the rest???~~]

They always do. [And Katie skips inside with relief because it's cold and she's hungry. ~~And sounds like a plan.~~]
