[Ahhh, the beach~ Katara is there. Yay beach!

She's fresh off another infuriating conversation with Zuko, though thankfully (for him) it didn't last long enough for her to really lose her temper. Now she is attempting to refocus and train in the weird environment that is the Plane with all its weird moons.

She stands close enough that the water laps against her bare feet. Deep breath; hands out, palm down over the water. She snaps around in a low circle, bringing her body and hands surging upwards as she faces the water again.

A thirty-foot wall of ice rockets up, crackling into life for as far as the water stretches and leaving the water level substantially lower on either side.]

[Hanging back and "watching."] Is it weird at all? With no moons nearby?

[humanwaterdemon.livejournal.com]

[Ooh water! Bai approves heartily of all the water] Impressive.

[lamb_of_gold]

[Watching, impressed]

[ :O !!!]

Are you a Water Adept?

[contract_star]

[Watching at a distance because WHOA. And he's remembering November 11.]

[Another, banishing motion, and the ice collapses back into liquid.]

[sifud.livejournal.com]

It is weird. But not because there's no moon. There's several.

[sifud.livejournal.com]

[Quick motion that melts the ice.] Not really.

[One hand up, the other drawing back to her side in a gentle circle. Push and pull. The ice melts. She pivots around, draws in hands into her side and thrusts out. Water erupts into steam; another circle and she winds the steam around herself--outward shove--the steam condenses and roars away from her in a column of water.]

[Oh hai thar] I'm a Waterbender.

[grand-gaia.livejournal.com]

I've never heard it called that before...

[lamb_of_gold]

That greatly resembles Tai Chi.

[sifud.livejournal.com]

[Eh? She looks over in surprise.] Tai Chi?

[sifud.livejournal.com]

I've never been called an Adept before, either.

[contract_star]

That was...pretty impressive.

[got-the-stones.livejournal.com]

Yeah? Huh. I can't tell, so who knows?

[Frowns.] Hey, Katara. Can you tell what this ground is made of? People say it's just darkness, but is there anything else?

[lamb_of_gold]

A style of martial art in my world. [Slides into a relevant stance]

[grand-gaia.livejournal.com]

Different worlds, I guess. [Smiles]

[sifud.livejournal.com]

[Oh, hai thar.] Not really. Steam is harder to control.

[sifud.livejournal.com]

[Holds her hands out parallel to the ground and closes her eyes.] ...I don't feel any--wait. There's water down there. Not a lot, but it's there.

[sifud.livejournal.com]

[And mimics--or at least takes a stance very like his own.] Huh.

[sifud.livejournal.com]

I guess. What other kinds of Adepts are there?

[grand-gaia.livejournal.com]

Fire, Wind and Earth. I'm an Earth adept and my friends, Garet and Ivan are Fire and Wind. There...aren't many adepts in the world.

[contract_star]

Well...I've never seen anyone do something like that before. Even... [Pauses.] Even the people I've met who could use water like that. [Who he killed, lol.] Or ice.

[lamb_of_gold]

[Starts a set, the movements being like second nature to him] Strange that things so similar can exists in worlds so different.
