Hurricane Party!
Who: Ginny and the other residents of the resort
What: Hurricane Party!
When: Day 10, around 7 PM.
Where: The White Sands Resort Bar and Club
Rating: PG? I don't know what crazy shenanigans are going to occur.
Status: In progress.

Ginny hated being stuck indoors.

She almost literally been trying to climb the walls in her frustration when she'd decided to throw a hurricane party. She hadn't met many of the residents, and figured if there was anyone else as irritated at being stuck inside then they'd appreciate the change of scenery. It'd also give people a chance to mingle and meet. She wondered if there were others from her world here besides Tonks.

The planet had been most accomodating to her ideas. The club was currently themed for a luau, and small lanterns shed a soft glow over numerous smaller groupings of tables as well as over the dance floor and bar. She hadn't been sure what the other residents might eat, so she'd asked for a large selection of snacks. The bar was well-stocked as well. She didn't recognize all of the things stocked, but she did notice a bottle of Firewhiskey and what appeared to be butterbeer.

Now all this party needed was people. Maybe she'd get to see Max again.

"How was the Fire Nation defeated?" Kadaj wondered. "And fighting the war in your world used the bending abilities instead of swords and guns? There was nothing like hand-to-hand combat?" His face revealed rapt interest at how different warfare was on other planets. Already he had seen variations of powers from Anakin but Kadaj liked Katara where he couldn't stand the Jedi knight.

As to the other topic of their talk, the opposite of war: "Is acceptance, no matter what happened before, love? If that's so, then I knew a soul in the Lifestream who loves everything. She was a real Ancient, the last of them." The fire for war left his eyes as he spoke of this and he could have been mistaken for an angel.

SPOILER ALERT!

“Well, the Avatar- Aang- took the Fire Lord’s bending away. It’s a technique that no one in that time knew except the lion-turtle who taught him. Well, I guess when Aang defeated him he’d proclaimed himself the Phoenix King and his daughter became the new Fire Lord. While Aang fought Phoenix King Ozai, my brother and his current wife took out the Fire Nation Air Force with our friend Toph. The Phoenix King’s son and I defeated Azula, the Fire Lord of the time, while everything else was happening.” That had been an incredibly stressful time for everyone involved. Katara was just glad that it was all over. “After that, Zuko, the one who helped me defeat his sister, took the title of Fire Lord and declared the war over.”

Katara’s brows rose. “Of course there were weapons. I don’t know what guns are, but we had all sorts of weapons. My brother was particularly fond of his boomerang, a machete, and a sword. Not everyone in my world can bend. The only nation that was comprised completely of benders were the Air Nomads. Everyone among them could airbend. Those who can’t bend the elements find other ways to hold their own. I’m not saying that everyone was a warrior, but my father and my brother were both warriors, and my brother’s wife is a warrior. Sometimes weapons help with bending, though. Aang uses a staff with his bending sometimes. Fire Lord Zuko can use dual broadswords along with firebending, too.”

The waterbender thought for a moment on his words. Was that love? “I suppose that’s a good indicator of love.” She said softly. “I think it’s different for everyone, though.” A warm smile passed over Katara’s face. “She sounds like a wonderful person. I would have liked to meet her.”

Lion-turtles? Kadaj wondered to himself. His brows furrowed beneath the whispy slivers of hair that permenantly fell over his eyes. There seemed to be a lot of people involved with defeating the Fire Lord who had plagued her world so terribly.

When she came to her last comment, Kadaj changed moods quickly. "The way this planet seems capable of taking anyone, who knows, you might get to meet her," he mused in a light-hearted manner. It seemed like a good idea to shift direction though he didn't know why. He merely followed his whim.

"I think I've distressed you enough," he heard himself saying. "I should go think about all of this now and let you engage with someone who's more fun than I am." His hand tightened on the hilt of Souba but it was merely to add a small formal flourish to the slight bow he performed.

“Yes, but, for her sake, I hope the Planet kindly leaves her where she’s happiest.” The idea of meeting someone like the woman Kadaj mentioned was appealing to Katara, but not the idea of suffering through living as a prisoner of the Planet.

Katara stifled a yawn. The hard workout she’d exhibited that day had begun to set in her muscles, and the lack of sleep she’d accomplished for the day was settling into her mind. “Actually, you’re not distressing me. I’m really glad I got a chance to meet you and talk to you. However, I was thinking about leaving the party soon anyway. I need to check on a friend of mine who didn’t feel very well the last time I saw him, and I need to get some sleep.” In response to his bow, she put her fist to her palm and bent forward courteously, respectfully.

“Have a good evening.” Katara said pleasantly with a smile before vacating the premises.
