random night time times

[screwthejewels]

[Somewhere on the island, months and months before the actual posting of this post, in a Secret Base, there is a boy lying in bed. For some inexplicable reason, perhaps a recent event or another is distracting him, he cannot sleep!]

...

[After a few tosses and turns, he decides to roll out of bed and see if that will help.]

A-Ah-- Oof! ... Now why did I think that was a good idea?

[He sits up and looks both ways, then another brilliant idea comes to him. He tiptoes across the floor of the base and, very gently, pokes the figure in the other bed a few times.]

Hey, Katara. Kataraaaaa.

Are you asleep?

Oh, that was her.

[usedwatergun.livejournal.com]

-- what, seriously?

[screwthejewels.livejournal.com]

Yes. She was the one who put this base together, actually.

[usedwatergun.livejournal.com]

Wow...

[screwthejewels.livejournal.com]

Is that impressive?

[usedwatergun.livejournal.com]

It looks like something an Earthbender would do.

[screwthejewels.livejournal.com]

What do you mean?

[usedwatergun.livejournal.com]

My friend Toph could probably make something like this with her bending.

[screwthejewels.livejournal.com]

... I get it! So this "bending" power comes in different types too?

[usedwatergun.livejournal.com]

You can bend water, fire, air, and earth.

[screwthejewels.livejournal.com]

Hmmm... Only four? Not ice, grass, or thunder, for instance?

[usedwatergun.livejournal.com]

Well, I can bend ice too since it's a form of water. And some Firebenders can bend lightning while Toph can bend metal.

[screwthejewels.livejournal.com]

... I see! So there are four main types, and some of you have multiple sub-types!

[usedwatergun.livejournal.com]

... I've never heard it described like that, but yeah, basically.

[screwthejewels.livejournal.com]

That's pretty impressive, Katara!

[usedwatergun.livejournal.com]

It's really not.

[screwthejewels.livejournal.com]

... It's not?

[usedwatergun.livejournal.com]

Well, the lightning is. And Toph invented Metalbending.

[screwthejewels.livejournal.com]

Invented?

[usedwatergun.livejournal.com]

As far as we know, no one else did it before her.

[screwthejewels.livejournal.com]

Then that is impressive.

[usedwatergun.livejournal.com]

It really is!

[screwthejewels.livejournal.com]

But you've got ice too, right?

[usedwatergun.livejournal.com]

Yeah, and steam. But any good Waterbender can do that.

[screwthejewels.livejournal.com]

And you're great!
