Who: Violet Baudelaire and Whoever Plays Greeter
What: Getting Dumped onto the Planet
When: Day 14
Where: Somewhere on the Beach
Rating: PG-13 for Olaf Being Spoken of
Status: Complete

Violet Baudelaire and her family had been on the run from Olaf when the nightmare finally ended. Little did she know this would be another in A Series of Unfortunate Events. The planet with a sense of humor decides to dump Violet onto the beach and into the surf. So a now very drenched with surf Violet was coming around after a not so smooth landing and realized this was not where she was supposed to be. "Klaus? Sunny?" she called hopefully of her family being around. But out of habit since part of her still felt like Olaf was around (and could be behind this) she grabbed a couple of sticks and jury rigged a makeshift weapon for herself (thankfully her gear kit had washed up alongside her on the shore). "Well whoever decided to pull this had better not be Olaf!" she hissed as she grabbed several fallen parts and spotted what she hoped was a loaded dumpster. So Violet being the curious sort headed for the dumpster but not before being soaked by another freak wave.

Things were not looking too bright and well what would help Violet was a friend and maybe some dry clothes. But anyone could see one thing within young Violet: a massive sense of fear and feeling more alone than words could express. She did realize,"At least my photo was not ruined" as she plucked the photo of her,Klaus and Sunny from the ground. But she was dazed, a bit confused and to be truthful Violet did not look very well. But being on the run for so long was to blame.

“Oh.” Katara said simply once she had swallowed her food. She understood people tossing away things they didn’t think they could reuse. In the Southern Water Tribe they reused everything they could from bones to snow to fabric. It had been irritating to see how much the nobility of the Earth Kingdom and Fire Nation had thrown good things away. Then again, a lot of good things they threw away ended up helping a lot of Earth Kingdom refugees and poor people in the Fire Nation once the waterbender had gotten wind of it. She’d organized charities to help those people, and she noticed a lot less was thrown out after she’d done that.

Violet’s collection of items was really impressive to Katara. She’d found uses for things the waterbender could never have even named. She already felt she got along well with this girl, but having the common interest of reusing what seemed to be less the usable was a definite plus. “I know just what you mean. I was raised to use everything I could. If it stopped working for one thing, it could be made into something else.” Then again, everything they made was built to be sturdy enough to pass down through several generations. Flimsy things just didn’t fit in well in the icy, treacherous terrain of the South Pole. An idle thought wound through her head that she couldn’t wait for the resort to change into that ski resort she’d read about in that book. She’d never been skiing, but there was a lot of snow, and she was definitely looking forward to that.

Katara finished up her lunch. She’d eaten slowly while they talked, not wishing to rush the girl. Besides, she’d never been a quick eater. It just wasn’t good for the body to scarf down food the way her brother did. She sipped the last of her water as she waited for Violet to finish her fish and chips. It didn’t look overly appetizing to the waterbender, but she’d never seen that food item before. It looked like something Sokka would have loved, though.

"I just believe in reusing and one book Klaus found only proved that, people waste so much when it can be fixed or even reused" Violet's dark eyes were blazing but in the good sense of the word. "Even was working on a teething ring with reuse in mind, that was just in planning stages to be honest. But the best ideas sometimes just happen" as she nibbled her fish. "Forgot to explain, chips are actually french fries where I come from"
