Welcome to Gaia! ::

((D: I'd have no problem playing Malik, except that I love the way you play hiim so much that I wouldn't allow myself to take that character away from you.))

((But inconsistent works so perfectly for Malik, because he's a moody little b***h! X3 And that works well with Jounouchi's character also, because he pretty much adopts the mood of the others around him all the time.
Nice Malik made me sad. D: And happy at the same time, because I was glad he wasn't a villain anymore, but he was just *too* nice... no one with that many issues can just suddenly see the error of their ways and become perfectly good Semeritans... XP
And okay, I'll probably just get off when I get tired. ^^ I'm normally a morning person so go to bed early, but once in a while I just don't get tired for a long while, like tonight, which I'm fine with as long as it isn't a school night.))

((Ooh, that sucks... I generally can sleep through anything if it's night and I'm tired enough. Once the sun peaks over the horizon though... any little noise or light will wake me. XP I can't tell you how many times I've fallen asleep to horror video games in the middle of the night... people tell me I'm crazy for being able to just fall asleep with all the creepy sounds haunting me and my last images being bloody ghosts trying to kill you, but if I'm that tired nothing can keep me awake... except the day time... XD;; I love mornings. They are the most peaceful to me because of the cool air and the quietness. Even party people who stay up all night are asleep by early mornings.))

((I often don't do too well with creepy either, but when I'm tired that doesn't matter. XD;; I never even have nightmares about the games when I fall asleep to them. o.o
I didn't know you had a little brother. o.o What other siblings do you have?))

((I'm the youngest of six siblings... D:
And WTF, are you crazy?! That intro was amazing! You should've started the RP. XD;; ))
Katara was in quite the annoyed mood. Seriously! What was with Sokka and that attitude of his?! "Mundane bending?!" As if! Waterbending was an important part of their tribe's heritage, and had been an extremely helpful aid in the war against the Fire Nation thus far. How dare Sokka call it mundane! If only Katara knew more than just how to manipulate water in the most simple ways, she could give Sokka a good smack with the stuff! There had to be a way she could show that stubborn brother of her's how helpful Waterbending could be...
Katara sighed to herself, strolling along a random pathway with no particular idea of her destination. She knew she should be working on her chores, but she wanted to dispell her anger against Sokka first. Then, suddenly hearing the oh-so-familiar "UGH!" scowl of Sokka, she smirked to herself, glad to hear that he was even more frustrated than she was.
Katara proceeded to hide behind a large hill of snow, peaking out and over it at the distant figure of Sokka throwing a little temper tantrum. She giggled to herself, wondering if she could give Sokka a scare by bending the snow around him. If only she could manipulate water that far away... the young Waterbender stuck her tongue out in concentration as she waved her arms sloppilly in Sokka's direction, surprising herself when she managed to make a bit of snow rise up in front of Sokka's face, before it quickly fell back down to the ground.
Zuko's expression soon changed to one of satisfaction as he saw the white ice of the South Pole begin to come into view. It definitely wasn't another large ice burg; this was too much to be anything but the real deal. He glared at the land triumphantly, as if he had caused it a great loss simply by arriving into its view.
"Uncle!" Zuko called impatiently, "Uncle, we've finally arrived!" he turned to look in the direction of the doors leading below deck impatiently, as if he expected his Uncle to come straight through them, as if the man had been waiting right behind them, waiting for Zuko to give the signal to come out.

((One full sibling, the rest are half siblings. ^^;; I get along better with all my half siblings than I do my full one though.))
Katara giggled to herself as she watched her brother attempt to Waterbend. Sure, he seemed as if he was only attempting to mock the art, but it was still funny to watch and listen to him. Getting an idea, she smiled to herself, carefully, though not extremely gracefully, attempting to bend the snow around Sokka again. It was just too hard to make more than a small pile rise up at once before it would quickly proceed to fall back down. Sighing to herself, Katara then noticed the few holes Sokka had made in the ice, where fresh puddles of water lay. Maybe that would be easier to manipulate... she did have more experience with pure water afterall.
Calling up her determination again, Katara proceeded to stand up to her full height, waving her arms down and up in a motion to attempt to bring that faraway water up with her movements. Finally, she got some. She carefully concentrated on keeping it together, then used one eye to watch Sokka's movements (while still keeping the other eye on the water she was bending), attempting to manipulate the water according to his sporadic motions. It was tough since Sokka was far less graceful than Waterbenders were supposed to be, and Katara ended up sending the water splashing back against the snow. She sighed, hoping Sokka, in his fit of wild movements, had at least noticed that splash and assumed he himself had made it.
Zuko, hearing Iroh's reply, quickly made his way down below deck in the direction of the voice, "Uncle! We've finally made it to the South Pole." he said, and while his face and tone of voice betrayed every feeling of excitement he was experiencing, his eyes had a gleam in them that showed he was happier than he had been in a long time. "Tell the men to prepare for dock and for battle. We will be invading the Water Tribe village as soon as we reach stable land." he commanded, before turning on his heel and walking off towards his quarters to begin suiting up for battle.
((You're doing a fine job of playing Iroh dear. ^^))

As tempted as Katara was to bend water right into Sokka's face at that moment, she held herself back, knowing that in order to convince Sokka that he had performed Waterbending, she would have to wait until he tried doing so again. So she waited patiently, watching Sokka and his silly actions with baited breath.
Zuko quickly proceeded to put on his armor. It was a bit difficult getting everything on without help, but he wanted all of his men preparing to dock and getting their own armor on, so he managed. Zuko quietly approached a small mirror that was identical to the ones in Iroh's and other higher-status crewmen's rooms. He stared into it, realizing that this was the first time he had ever worn armor for an actual battle. He had participated in training and agni kai (sp? o.o) before, but those never required armor... he was truly beginning his mission now, to capture 100 benders... it would start here, and then Zuko would finally be one step closer to returning home.
The young Prince looked over himself, making sure the armor was tied correctly and that the helmet was on straight, before turning around and heading out of the room. He was certain his uncle wasn't handling commanding the ship well at all. He was far too lenient on the crew. At this moment half of them were probably chatting amongst themselves or stuffing their faces. Zuko glared bitterly to himself as these thoughts crossed his mind. He would make sure they were all ready; he wouldn't let some lazy crew or his carefree uncle ruin this important moment in their journey.

((Gah, sorry, I forgot. XD;; Anyway, from what I've observed of the season one episodes, Iroh only fights when he's needed. If there's enough soldiers or whatever to take care of the problem, then he won't bother, but if something happens where Zuko and the others are struggling, then he'll step in.
And lol at that Wiki entry. XD *can't wait for new episodes*))
Grinning to herself, Katara proceeded to attempt more bending. She attempted to use Waterbending to p***k up the boomerang, but it was too slick and hard to support, so she ended up just bending the water up around it. She then quickly went into sporradic movements again to immitate Sokka.
