kyoshi | [Voice / Action] backdated to the 13th

[Locked from Sokka]

Hey everyone, just a head's up that Sokka and I will be unavailable for a few days. We should be back sometime next week, so don't worry.

And if you see him first, do me a favour and don't tell him! But you can wish him a happy anniversary, if you want.

Kyoshi Warriors, if you could check in and let me know you're alright, I'd appreciate it, especially after that last experiment. I'd like to make sure we still have a full roster of members. This Sunday's practice is cancelled since I'll be out of the village, but don't slack off on your training, okay?

Oh, and if anyone is curious, the Kyoshi Warriors of Luceti are a group of girls learning self-defense and stealth combat techniques. If anyone is interested in joining or finding out more about the group, I'd be happy to answer any questions!

[With that, Suki makes herself busy with some packing. She'll make a round to all of her housemates first to let them know she and Sokka will be AWOL, then it's off to the smithy, backpack in hand, to ninja-kidnap her unsuspecting fiance.]

I think so too.. It must be strange to think you're just you, and then the next day you find out it was all a lie..

Yeah... but they've done that before, plenty of times. Maybe not as severe... although, actually, there was an experiment where everyone believed that they'd grown up in Luceti. That had been really scary.

... Really..? I hadn't heard of that before..

It sounds like.. a really, really weird experiment. I can't imagine what it's like..

"Weird" is definitely the word for it. Sokka and I thought we had two daughters who weren't that much younger than we are now, but it all seemed completely natural to us.

A-.. ah, but you aren't that old at all..! Yes, that'd be really weird.. I can't believe this place can just make us think all of that.

I'm just glad it kept me with Sokka. The Valentine's Day experiments are the ones that really scare me.

[ ... ah, yes. The mention of that is enough to make Madoka keysmash mentally for a moment before she speaks up, clearly a little more awkward. ]

Y.. yes. Those.. really are awkward, aren't they?

[Yeaaaah she should probably avoid mentioning those.]

Sorry... nevermind, forget I brought it up.

N-no, it's fine! I'm sorry, it's already been a while, so.. I should just have gotten over it already, I guess.. [ an awkward giggle, very awkward. ]

Don't think like that... something like this isn't easy to just get over. These things take time.

... Hmm.. You really think so..?

Last year, I had a really hard time with it, myself. It felt like forever before I really got over it. So... yes, I do.

... Ah, I-.. I'm sorry. Everyone really has bad memories of that experiment, huh..

...Maybe we should just talk about something else.

[BEST SOLUTION]

[ CLEARLY. ]

E.. ehehe, you're right. Let's discuss something a little more happy.

...So, um... are you going to the festival tomorrow? The one with the starfish.

[Kind of grasping at straws, but she's admittedly not great at this.]

[ A good topic, actually! Since.. ]

Hmm.. I'm going. Fuuko-chan and Nagisa-chan are the ones behind the festival idea and they're both my friends, so I promised I'd come.. Ah, and I told Kyon-san I'd take him there to show him around.

It sounds like it'll be a fun afternoon. I'm a little sorry I'm going to miss it.

Maybe you can come next time there's one.. Maybe Fuuko-chan could make it something that happens yearly, wouldn't that be fun?

I think that's a great idea! If people enjoy it, I don't see why it shouldn't happen again.

It would be nice to have something around that makes people happy.. especially in a place like this.

Right. I was wondering, though- why starfish?

Why..? W.. well, Fuuko-chan likes them. She's the girl who organized the festival..

I don't know why she likes them this much though.

Well, that's okay. Everyone has things they like but can't always explain.

Maybe she does have a special reason though! I'd have to ask her..
