Relax: Unconscious land is starting to get to you. [Open]

[kaya-waterwave.livejournal.com]

She hadn't kept track of the days much anymore. She did know that when she tried to sleep though, it wasnt a nice fitful sleep. She hadnt expected as much to begin with, considering she hadn't had that kind of sleep since being here, but somehow, her dreams had gotten progressively worse. Now there would be glimpses of things, bits and pieces of a memeory she was only starting to unravel, a secret fear she had that would make her feel apprehensive and uneasy when she woke up. She alwaus seemed to wake up the same way too: with a start, tears running down her cheeks. She couldn't figure out why she would wake up like that in the first place, but she would somehow get the feeling that she was forgetting something, and for a moment, there was an air of somebody she cared about sharing her pain.

It was a memory she grasped at, almost had then lost again.

This time, she just sat up, wiping her face and taking an exasperated breath. Not much had changed: they'd gotten a new person is the brig, who was just as likely to be here a long time like anyone else. Besides, Katara was curious as to who were the new arrivals on the ship: would they be anyone she knew?

(Open tag for Katara for visitors/cell mates, but also a general cell post if any visitors might want to drop in on the detainees.)

Bart had been pretty steadily covering every open inch of the ship at superspeed. It only made sense that eventually he'd take the right passageway that took him down to the brig and-- wasn't Robin in there for some reason? Bart stopped and cleared his throat. "Hello?"

Katara looked up and saw something like a blur. She was confused for a moment before she realized that yes, this was an actual person, just moving really, really fast. Again, someone she wished she could have mety him personally, but so mych for that.

"Hi," she said, from her cell, trying to run a hand through her hair. "Who's there?"

[speedforbrains.livejournal.com]

"It's Impulse!" Bart zoomed over to her cell and peered in. "Is Robin in here? I mean, you don't sound like him but is he somewhere here? Who are you?"

Carol had been meaning to try to find Katara after the mess with that thing, but she hadn't wanted to leave her little paradise. After all it wasn't everyday she got taken out by a Nick Fury wannabe. But her pride aside, she wanted to make sure the girl was alright. And when she'd learned she'd been arrested, well Carol didn't know what to think.

A part of her was proud that Katara stood up for what she believed in, another part wanted to yell at her for being an idiot, and the final part was just thankful she wasn't hurt. Carol wasn't sure if she liked having her emotions back or not. They were confusing her.

"Katara? Sweetie, you in here still?" Her voice was soft as she made her way into the cells. Her plant suit was back the way it should be. She knew she could walk around in her Ms. Marvel costume, but she didn't feel like doing that. She wasn't here as Ms. Marvel anyways.

Of all of the voices she had expected to hear, Carol's was definitely the last she expected, though strangely enough, it was also very welcome. It was a strange feeling with Carol, that she was like a friend, only more motherly. Considering she was usuallly the one that was given that title, it was a little daunting. And here she was, asking if she was OK? It made Katara feel really bad, like she'd unnecessarily made Carol worry.

"Yeah, I'm here," Katara said, her voice sounding smaller than she'd expected. "How did you know to look for me? I guess....you saw the footage then?"

[marvelouscarol.livejournal.com]

Carol smiles sweetly as she finally located Katara. The girl looked alright, that was a bonus. But she didn't like how she sounded. She seemed sad and that in turn made Carol depressed. She should have been there to help her, yet she'd been taken out by a pillar. A freaking pillar!

"I'm sorry I wasn't there to help you. I might have been able too... I don't know. Talk Mr. Kennedy into letting you go." She sighed and hung her head, her hair hiding her face. "I shouldn't have been taken out so quickly, I'm stronger than that."

"Well, it was a surprise to hear you were one of the people 'arrested.'" Selene said, standing outside Katara's cell. She held up a hand and waved. "No drinks, sadly. Can't get those out of the sensorium. How you holding up?"

[kaya-waterwave.livejournal.com]

Katara saw Selene, and gave her a nervous smile, then laugh. "Oh, that's ok. I think I can do without the drink this time! It would probably make me feel worse!"

Katara looked down a little. "I've been better. I've had a lot of time for reflection though. Why I'm here, what I have to do when I get out. Not to mention I have a lot of homework to finish once I'm out of here, and tons of training."

[dreamstolights.livejournal.com]

Selene rested her arms through the arms, laughing a bit. "I can see if I can bring you you're homework until they let you out? Might be young enough you get let off easy. Some advantages to being younger, you know."

Usually Allen comes to visit Leela, and this visit is probably no exception, but he stops in front of Katara's cell before moving on.

"Hey. Will said you might appreciate this."

He holds out a datapad with several texts programmed onto it.

"School reading list."

[kaya-waterwave.livejournal.com]

Katara smiled, happy to see Allen again, however brief he was.

"Yeah, thanks! I've been meaning to get to this. Now I don't have to get farher behind. Thank you so much!"

[twelvevoltman.livejournal.com]

"Don't mention it."

She'll notice, if she looks at the datapad, that a number of the texts are written by him.

"You're not missing much anyway. I think only Meluly and Sheeana are holding their classes right now. It will probably be a little while longer before everything's organized into a cohesive schoolday."

BENDYTIME!!! - Post-burgers and revelations

Slobo wasn't sure how to handle everything he had heard from Kon and Virgil. He knew it had been a while, but he missed so much, he wasn't even sure if he felt like a part of their world anymore. Everything had seemingly fallen apart since his "death", and nothing seemed right.

He was a relic from a bygone era. As he began to wander the ship, he caught Tim's scent, and followed it to the precinct. This place was impressive, almost a city in and of itself. As he walked by the cells looking for the Boy Wonder, he saw that many of them were occupied. Finally, he stopped in front of a girl who couldn't have been older than fourteen.

"Seriously, kid, ain't ya a bit young to be tried as an adult? I'd use that, if I were you."

Katara was startled by the newcomer. She hadn't seen anyone as strange as him since, well, Redsnout. The pale skin and yellow eyes were new, and even the way he spoke was something she had to process in her head a minute, specifically what he was telling her she should do.

"Going after an alien to try and kill it is enough to get you in here," Katara replied. "And I wouldn't try to get off easy for that even if I could. I know why I did it, and even if I regret it now because of what it caused, I'm not going to say there weren't good reasons. I don't care if people look at us and call us killers, or try preaching about it in sermons!"

By the end of the speech, Katara was almost frothing at the mouth, and realized she had said a LOT to someone who probably had no idea what she was going on about. That, and she also wanted to squish Daimon.

"But uh, its a long story. My name's Katara. You're new here, aren't you? I haven't see you before."

He laughed to himself a bit as she went on her tirade. He always enjoyed people with fire in their bellies.

"Name's Slobo, also called the Top Teen. I get where yer coming from. I hate being sermonized at myself. A few years ago, Birdboy would lecture me all the time. 'Don't kill this', 'Don't frag that', 'Don't break your friends parents out of prison, 'Bo!' It gets gratin'." He shook his head and chuckled, remembering happier times. " Ya got gut's and responsibility, lady. That's pretty fraggin' fierce. But, seein' as how I ain't exactly human, why the alien killin' sentiment?"

Nathan was taking a break from his research into law to stop down in the precinct. He knew two of the kids who helped would be let go soon enough. Probably pretty good kids too, if a bit misguided.

He was walking past when he noticed Katara's cell.

"Holding up all right there?"

[kaya-waterwave.livejournal.com]

Katara looked up from her datapad. Allen had given her a lot of work and she didn't want to get behind, and hadn't thought anyone would come by for conversation. She hadn't seen this man before, but she got the feeling that he might be on the security team. She didn't know why, but there was something about him that exuded authority. In any case, it would be rude to not say anything.

"As well as a prisoner can," Katara said, a trace of amusement and scolding in her voice. "Totally missed the newest pod pop, so I'm a little out of sorts. How is it out there?"

[runnerwithagun.livejournal.com]

Katara woke up with tears running down her cheeks... again. He'd been noticing her waking up that way for the last week or so not like there was much else to do in prison, anyway and it was starting to concern him. So he thought he'd try to see what was up.

"Katara? Are you okay?"

[kaya-waterwave.livejournal.com]

Katara turned, and was happy to ave the interruption. It was still a little daunting, to be in a place where there were other people. She was used to being around her gang, and coming to the ship, just sleeping by herself had been an adjustment. Now, in a confined place but with other people, it was yet another adjustment to make, especially when she kept having bad dreams she didn't really remember.

It was all so hazy, but she could remember a familiar touch, a feeling that there was something missing, like a part of her memory that could only be seen in her unconscious.

"Yeah, sorry," Katara said, breathing in and out noticeably. "Just...some dreams."

[runnerwithagun.livejournal.com]

Ronon on the other hand, had lost count of how many times he had been captured or imprisoned. He nodded taking note of Katara's current demeanor.

"Same dream every time?"

[telekinetic_badass]

Julian, considering he had been a recent guest of a prison, sure as hell wasn't in a hurry to enter another one. Still, he felt obligated to visit Katara. She was on his team, and he did think of her as a friend.

Of course, he was tense as hell being in there. Not to mention his neck itched like that collar was still on it. He tried his best to look relaxed despite that. He probably wasn't succeeding.

"Hey."

[kaya-waterwave.livejournal.com]

Katara looked up, and gave her team leader a smile. Despite the circumstances, she was glad to see him here. She was pretty sure it was a depressing place to be.

"Hey Julian," Katara said. "You need to get better at not looking like you expect Leon to throw you in here! Doesn't look like this place gives you good memories!"

[telekinetic_badass]

He gave her a smirk, though it wasn't as confident as his usual ones, which seemed to exude pure ego. He unconsciously began scratching his neck, but forced himself to stop once he realized what he was doing.

"I've been in jail before. Can't say I was terribly fond of it," he told her in a bit of an understatement.

"How're they treating you down here?" She didn't look like she was being tortured, at least.

[grayaura.livejournal.com]

Mai has apparently dropped by. She glanced into the cell, arms folded, "Hi."

[kaya-waterwave.livejournal.com]

Oh Mai. How your lack of seaking has been missed. Still, Mai didn't have to come here, and Katara appreciated it.

"Hey. Well, looks like you were right about not getting involved. If you and Zuko from the future could see me now, you'd be laughing."

Thought for some reason, Katara found it hard to picture Mai laughing, even then.
