Building a family [hella open]

Slobo had been puttering around the ship for an hour, thinking and looking. He quickly found that if you looked hard enough, between W&P and the City itself, you could find anything. In the end, he was standing outside a Courtyard by Marriott hotel about a click outside of "Escherville" with spraypaint and a very large block of stone. At first he had thought about the Vatican, but it was too wrecked from the zombie fight. Plus, this place had an indoor pool. He spraypainted a large message on the wall next to the door, red with black outline.

"OUTSIDERS
COMMUNITY SERVICE
FIELD TRAINING

PEER COUNSELING"

On the sandwich board tucked near the door, he wrote "~~12-21?~~ Info and Tryouts inside" and left it out in front. Now, he took his large rock into the lobby and began carving. And waited.

Sokka is too busy floating around on his back to pay much attention to the shenanigans going on outside the pool. It's so good to just relax here. No worrying about space pirates or the end of the world or the Fire Nation...

Ok...River God. "Well there's something you don't see everyday." The dragony looking critter laid out on the pool deck and continued to look impressive, Rose shook her head and laughed.

"This is gonna rock, seriously, it has to."

Static was quickly loosing the ability to use real words. Water was not his forte, and having someone pinning him in place didn't really help the situation...

"...Sorry?" He chuckled a little; more a panic-laugh than anything else. "But now you know what it's like. And we can teach you to swim if you want, too. Just don't kill me, and we can arrange it."

Yeah, this had been a really, really bad idea...

A wave stared down at her (twice in two days she was menaced by water, the stuff of life for a Fremen) eyeless but peeved as its master. Rapidly evaluating things, she checked the social tensions.

"Well, I suppose you may buy your life with that. And you are rather a pretty boy, it would be a shame to kill you..." She smiled and loosened her grip on him. Now what was that about a river god...She craned over to the pool chairs and saw...

What from that angle looked like a worm, coiled and resting amid the plastic. "Shai-hulud! What are you doing h-...oh." She looked a bit chagrined at her mistake.

Daughter of Sand, you have no idea what you're getting into, Haku thought and gave a scoff to the lot of them. He was here to purify the water, that was all. It had nothing to do with companionship or meeting new friends, or anything else except gathering information.

Nothing, really. Really.

Haku yawned, showing a great deal of very sharp dragon-teeth and settled back into his nap. Troublesome humans. None of them were talking to him at any rate. Chihiro...

Katara gave a lasting look at Sheena and Static but figured that they'd been involved in their own squabble. At any rate, Static was older than her, and knew that adults tended to have their own ways of teasing each other. In any case, now that she knew that he was okay, she was very curious about the River God that was curled up in a nap.

She approached him cautiously, knowing he was sleeping and trying her best not to get him too agitated. After all, she wasn't really familiar with how to greet gods, that was more Aang's bag. Still, she could at least introduce herself.

"Hello," she said softly, in case he was still sleeping. "My name is Katara. It's nice to meet someone who's power is my element. What is your name?"

Boldly, Haku put his nose close enough to Katara that when he inhaled sharply to catch her scent it drew out her hair loopies.

Water, and salt. Fire. Woodsmoke and Ozone. Great potential. The dragon sneezed and did something he hadn't done in quite a long time: without changing form, he spoke.

"Nigihayami Kohaku Nushi," He intoned, and because it was a proper name it would not translate, so he repeated it in a different form, so that it would be understandable to the girl. His voice was low and echoic, like a fast, deep river against the walls of a narrow, low-ceiling cave, "The God of the Kohaku River. I am known as Haku."

Katara had not expected that but that didn't mean she wouldn't get the significance. She bowed shortly, and looked at the dragon a moment.

"I am a waterbender, and my element means everything to me. It is an honor to meet you."
