Dossier Six

[She's sitting at her little table, running her hands over the Sig P239 and looking... well, rather upset.

There's a length of cloth on the table; she sets the gun down, ties it over her eyes, and then proceeds to disassemble the weapon and put it back together in about thirty seconds.

She pauses and does it again, this time in about twenty. And then she pulls the blindfold off, takes the gun to pieces once more, and starts cleaning it.]

Yes! Do you fight a lot?

[got-the-stones.livejournal.com]

Me? Oh, plenty.

[fireintothesky.livejournal.com]

Are you a soldier?

[got-the-stones.livejournal.com]

A soldier? No, not really. I dunno...it's not really as formal as being a soldier. ...Freedom fighter, maybe?

[fireintothesky.livejournal.com]

What are you fighting? The Fire Nation?

[got-the-stones.livejournal.com]

Yeah, exactly! To keep them from taking over the whole world.

[fireintothesky.livejournal.com]

The whole world?

[got-the-stones.livejournal.com]

Yeah. They've almost done it, too. The Earth Kingdom fell not too long ago.

[fireintothesky.livejournal.com]

What are you going to do?

[got-the-stones.livejournal.com]

We're going to invade the Fire Nation. And my friend, Aang, is going to take on the Fire Lord.

[fireintothesky.livejournal.com]

All by himself?

[got-the-stones.livejournal.com]

Yeah. He's the Avatar. He's the only person in the world capable of bending all four elements.

[fireintothesky.livejournal.com]

What does that mean?

[got-the-stones.livejournal.com]

It means that...well, he's like the balance in my world, you know? He keeps the peace, I guess.

...Oh! Oh, you meant about bending? Oh, okay. It's kind of like a martial art in my world that lets you control an element. Like me, I'm an earthbender, which means I can do this. [Stomps a foot and a rock comes arcing high from her patch of earth into her waiting hand.]

[fireintothesky.livejournal.com]

That's amazing, signorina!

[got-the-stones.livejournal.com]

[Chuckles.] Yeah, it is.
