Guys, did you see!? Bon-chan's here!

[/filter]

Has there... ever been a case of someone going home, but still remembering stuff from Luceti? [He's been here long enough to know it's pretty much a futile question, but.. he can't help but ask it.]

[ooc: I know I owe some of you tags! I'll get to them as soon as I get home, promise! And hopefully I won't accidentally miss anyone either. >.>

If you want, you can always PM me or drop a note here so I'll make sure not to miss it.]

When they go back home...

...

it's important that I don't forget a few things.

Oh. [/brb, crafting an excellent filter now.]

I think it depends, Luffy. Zuko said that he remembered things when he went home... but that he didn't know they were real. They were like dreams.

[Oh, thank you Katara! Luffy sucks at filtering as you can see!]

NO! It can't be like a dream! I have to remember it for real or-- something bad might happen!

[Just... give him a minute to calm down. After all, Katara's not the one to blame for all this.]

... The last time I was taken to go back home, Nami had just arrived not too long ago and I had been here for almost a year. Well, now more of my friends are showing up and I've almost been here for two years. The same thing is going to happen, Katara!

When I went home before, we all got separated... But this time might be even worse than that!

[Okay, well. Katara put up the filter because she doesn't like talking about her friend's private business on an open network, especially Zuko. She wasn't expecting anything like - this.

There's a moment's pause as she takes that in.

She really wishes they were in person right now so she could give him a hug.]

...I don't know what to tell you, Luffy. I don't know how things work here, or why some people come back remembering that they'd been here before and why some people forget. I don't know if there's any trick to remembering things when they we get home.

I wish I did.

It's not fair... that you would know something here, and not be able to do anything about it when you get home.

[And she is temporarily distracted from what she was going to stay next by deep worry and concern.]

...is it... really bad?

...

Back home, my brother Ace is being put up for execution. The last thing I remember is being on the way to save him and I was sure I was going to but--... Now I don't know what's going to happen.

Oh, no, Luffy--

[Damnit, why is this conversation not in person? She hates feeling so useless.]

...if you could remember going back home, do you know for sure that there would be something you'd be able to change?

I don't know-- but... it'd be a lot better than going in blind!

I won't sit back and do nothing when I know something bad might happen!

Luffy... [A deep breath.] I know it's hard. If it was Sokka...

But you can't let it - if you don't know what there is that you can change, and if you don't know what's going to happen... then it hasn't happened yet.

And if I can help it, I'll never let it happen.

[He's gonna be very stubborn about this.]

Good. But until you get home... you have to focus on what you can do, Luffy. If you can find a way to remember something from here at home, that's great if you think it will help. But don't - don't let thoughts of what could happen tear you down.

I know you'll do everything that you can to save your brother. And you have to believe that that will be enough.

...you're right, Katara.

Things are just so... different here than they were back home.

I know they are.

[She's not sure if this is the right thing to say or not, but...]

But... they're not as different for me as they are for you. For a long time, all I could do was wait and hope. After my dad left to go to war... I thought about him every day. I missed him and we needed him so much - and we couldn't do anything to help him. He was off with all the other men fighting the war and we were at home... I couldn't really even bend then. All I could do was wait, and do what I could to take care of everyone.

Luceti is a lot like that for me. Just... waiting and doing what I can, even though the waiting is worse because I'm strong now, and I feel like I should be able to do something. But I know, that if I just wait long enough and I don't give up... eventually there will come a time when I can make that strength count for something. We're going to get through this, Luffy. We're all going to get home. And when we do... I know that we'll both do all that we can to make sure that our futures are good ones.

[Wow, he... never knew Katara. He feels a little selfish now. All this time he had been getting anxious and angry at being in Luceti because he couldn't do anything, when Katara had already been in a situation like that back in her home world. He's been mostly on his own with his "brothers" since he was little and now that he was a pirate he had even less restrictions than before.]

[A grin is gonna slowly spread across his face though.]

Thanks a lot, Katara... Sometimes, it's really easy for me to forget this stuff.

When I need to help my nakama, I'm used to doing it right then. That's why Luceti is so hard for me. When they're in danger, or in trouble, I start to get really anxious, and don't wanna wait. But I guess... if I ever want to kick the Malnosso's ass, and get everyone out of here one day, I'm going to have to get more used to it.

Yeah, I bet it's a lot harder when you're used to being able to help then and there. And I don't think you should stop trying to do that! But it's just like... a different kind of fight. You hold on to hope and you wait - so that when the time comes, you can move hard and fast. You don't give up - you never give up. But sometimes... the only thing you can do is wait.

Well I still hate waiting, and I probably always will, but... I'll try to learn to get used to it.
