All in all, things were getting off on the wrong foot for Irma. Bad enough to know that the Will and Matt here weren't the ones she knew (not that she minded - they looked different, yet felt the same), but now she's being told to put trust in someone's crazy plan to deal with a god? That just about ranks up there with turning into your element to defeat a snake man armed with twice the elemental power as her and her friends!

Out of curiosity, frustration and boredom, Irma decided to glance around the City. All in all, it was pretty bland, to her, at least. Before turning around to head back, she had remembered that she wanted to see the Jedi Temple - thus the W.I.T.C.H. Bus. Pressing forward, she got nowhere fast.

Until she saw it. It looked dusty from the years of lack of care, but for the most part, it was still standing.

Sheffield Academy. Her school.

"Noooooooooooooo!" Irma cried, falling to her knees dramatically. "They didn't blow it up! Darn them all to heck, they didn't blow it up!"

Okay, enough of the melodramatics. Getting back up, she looked around and realized that no one was around.

"Good. Good. Awesome! No one's around! This will be my little secret. No one's going to make me go to school while I'm stuck in this flying piece of meat!" Irma said, hoping to walk away before anyone spotted her... or the school.

"Well, I meant if you wouldn't mind if I taught meditation in this room," Katara said, looking a little sheepish. "I actually do know how to meditate myself, and I've had to for all of this Nightmare stuff. But if we can combine our efforts, it would help all of the people that are still suffering some of the bad dreams, don't you think? I've kinda been trying to get people informed about the Nightmare Kind whenever I can."

Katara grinned when the girl started to stream the water, and Katara grabbed it back, then tossed it at Irma like some strange game of tag. "So in your world its accomplished by magic! I should have known because of Will, really. In my world you're born with the capability, but you have to train in martial arts to get really good at it."

"Oh! Oh... oh, I see...!" Irma said, laughing nervously. "For a moment there, I thought you were asking me to...!" Irma laughed some more before calming down. "But, yeah... I think it would work out in the end. Believe me, I know how it feels to be dragged down by dreams..." She remembered the crap she was put through when Nerissa started her attacks. It didn't help that the same time she was dealing with that, the rest of the girls were trying to keep Will from moving.

"Yeah, pretty much!" Irma said, easily "catching" the stream and launching it right back at Katara. "We're born with the ability to control the elements, but that's mostly because we're chosen to be who we are."

Katara giggled. "Are you kidding me? I feel like I've been meditating out of my ears! But if we could help some other people, that'd be a great thing, wouldn't it? A lot of people are starting to lose sleep because of all of the things that have happened in their dreams. Even I was avoiding sleep for awhile, and it doesn't help when you're trying to fight something like that to feel like you've lost all of your strength. Actually, I can tell you a little about what we know about the Nightmare King, in case you have any ideas. I'm sure you guys have seen something like him before."

Katara decided to make things interesting and pulled another long thread of water out, streaming it a moment before passing it over to Irma. "Nobody chooses us, we just have the ability. But we have to work at the ability too: reading scrolls, mastering your body, that sort of thing. Eventually, you bend in a style unique to you."

"Mmm... Not on that level." Irma said, taking a thoughtful pose. "Before I got stuck here, my friends and I dealt with a sorceress known as Nerissa. Years before, she used to be like Will and I, but things went downhill and, well..." she shrugged. "Anyway, she ended up attacking us through our dreams at one point, but it pretty much took us working together to get her out. I dunno if that would help here..."

Irma blinked before she caught the other stream. "Gotta be faster than that!" She chuckled before she launched them at Katara. "...you gotta go through all that?! Sheesh, if we had to do that, I doubt I'd be here doing this with you! Come to think of it, Corny would probably stalk off in anger...!""

"Yeah, the Nightmare King isn't exactly for a novice in magic," Katara said regretfully, "though now that I think about it, since there is a magical team that are working on trying to defeat the Nightmare King, you might want to give them a shot. But this sorceress you're talking about sounds pretty rough too, and the concept is still the same: we need to gather together to try and defeat this guy."

Katara grinned. "Oh, I can go WAY faster than that. This is just to get us started. But it never feels like its work for me, you know? I'm from the Southern water tribe, so this is something that's as much a part of my people as well as my gift. It makes me appreciate all I can do all the more."
