~♥FORTY-THREE♥~

[Action A]
[Eighteen days. He's been missing for eighteen days - not that he's been able to keep track, honestly. The best he can figure, it's been "about two weeks." About two weeks since they lost and were kidnapped. Some good the modification of the droids did, huh? He recognizes where he's been dropped off, though. He's on the beach.

The cold, snowy, beach.

Groaning, and with a shivering pikachu in his arms, the boy starts his long march to the teleporters, and after that he'll be making a long trek back up to CH1. He's in a torn coat, pants, and shirt and generally looking bruised and tired. No matter how he and Linda get to the apartment, that's their intended destination. He's used to bleeding, and neither him nor his girl seem to be bleeding enough that they need medical attention before they need to just - mercifully, finally - get some decent sleep. He can ask Shikamaru if Katara's back to normal, to know if he should call his Doctor or not.

Either way, they'll sleep. They'll sleep several hours, before he wakes up and then decides to get his things in order.]

[Filtered: Yellow]
Yellow-chan. Think you can do me a favor?

[Filtered: Law and Mia]
I think my Doctor's nice and booked, so can either if you take a house call? [Or he could go to them... whatever]

[Filtered: Wolfwood (Broken)]
Hey, bo--ss. ...Maaah.

[Filtered: Chun-Li (Broken)]
Chun-Li-sannn--- Well that's just a shame.

[Filtered: Green]
You didn't go home too, right? Oh, wow, guess not.

[Maybe he should call Gold and Silver too. Maybe some of his other buddies. ...Nah. Green'll tell the first two, and if he doesn't, then Yellow will. He feels a little lonely, and maybe a little depressed through all the soreness, but it's not like too much has changed. He doesn't really want to face them. Or at least, he doesn't want to call them to face them. Maybe he'll run into them later.]

[Action B]
[After he's recovered more, maybe within the next day or two, he has a greater understanding of what's happened. He remembers them losing, and he remembers fragments of what happened to him at their base. There was a lot of electricity involved, and he tells himself that's why Linda doesn't seem to be able to zap anything effectively at the moment. She's still able to run coils around her, but... No, no.

It's been a tense while, and they're almost at Valentines. In fact, looking back in the journal, that blue guy even suggested something like a warning. So maybe he'll just hit the town. No training for him, because even if he's mostly better (he thinks) he's not sure what's happened to him exactly, or to his mouse. That's why he, with Linda on his shoulder, are sort of walking in the snow aimlessly. Both have scarves he got as various gifts on their necks and he hits a lot of haunts: The Rec Center to play some video games, the Item Shop to see if there's Valentines things, the Library just because, the Welcome Center just... because.

He's not really looking for people, but he's not really looking to avoid people. Honestly, he still feels lonely though. If he's honest with himself, the sensation is similar to - but not the same as - that time after he left the Scarves and before Mikado made it to Tokyo.

And as the day goes on, more and more strange things keep happening. He shocks himself on doors from static electricity, he shorts out the game in the middle of getting a high school (okay, no, but a man can dream), other... things. All based in electricity.]

[Masaomi's Kidnap effect is that his body is electrically charged like he's some sort of electric-based superperson-thing. The level fluctuates and is related to his recovery and skin contact. He can't really control it either. If you see him after the realization he'll be wearing various different types of gloves as he tests out what works and what doesn't. Run into him anywhere around town]

You got it. Eels do a lot of things, but I'm not sure being quick's something they're that good at. [...And then Linda shoving his head off her, the joke hits him and his grin gets a bit wider] Unless they're more of a snake.

[A more hesitant chuckle. He thinks he might get this one, guessing a play on "sneak".]

That'd make him snakey enough?

Mmmhm! Quick at the jaw, at least. Not that I'd want an eel jawing on me.

I don't think you'd want that from a hound either.

True, true, but I've felt that one before.

You have? That musta hurt.

Eh, a dog's a dog, and I'm not that far off myself.

Huh? You're not like a dog.

I dunno, I might be a wolf.

I thought that's what Sokka was going for.

Sokka might as well be Hachiko.

I don't know who that is...

Doesn't matter! Suki-chan wouldn't keep him waiting anyway. We'll never need to know.

[He laughs at his own joke, which Linda rolls her eyes at]

[And he's not sure what that means, but the reference to Suki is enough to bother him.]

What's that supposed to mean?

You know, it's what I always say. "Love is a leveler."

[He may have heard that before (~~and if so having trouble remembering what thread it was~~). It's always hard to see exactly what Masaomi means when he rarely adds context. But Aang tries to stab at it.]

You mean like... putting people on the same level? Like Balance?

[He sighs and then reaches out to flick him in the forehead]

Why is it always Balance with you guys?

[He flinches at the flick.]

Ow! It just... makes sense. The balance of the nations and of the elements is important to our world. And waterbending's based on push and pull. It just makes sense to apply it to ourselves too.

And airbending's based on freedom, isn't it? That freedom's gotta fly above "Balance."

It's not like that. Freedom's a big part of airbending, but it's not like we could just do anything we wanted. We still had disciplines and elders who made decisions for us, and they were done to help keep balance with the other nations. And sometimes they called for freedom to be taken away, like... when they wanted me to be the Avatar and stop the war. [He shakes his head quickly.] It's easier when you think of airbending as being based on spiral movements- or being a leaf in the wind. It's about freedom in shifting against resistance, instead of going over it.

[... Tch. Linda on his shoulder just is so not getting this or listening other than to think about how much airbending sucks. She hates birds. She really does.

Masaomi himself has his brows knit together, and he holds up one of his hands to wave it in the air and then sighs]

I'll never get that, Aang-kun, just saying.

That's okay, Masaomi. You don't have to. I wound up kind of different from what's expected of airbenders, anyway. [Like rooting himself with attachments. Or daring to hope.] But then what do you mean by the leveling thing?

Hey, if that's what you take out of it, that's what's true! It's not like I can change your mind! [And he laughs, patting Aang on his head after rocking over to the guy. When he does though, a decently strong electric current comes out of his palm into the guy's head]

I'm just curious-

[He was giving a friendly s,mile when the head contact was made... and suddenly there's electricity in his body. In his head. He staggers forward.]

Huh-? Aang-?

[What was that. He takes a step back too, surprised at. That]
