Oops, Did I Do That?
WHO: Tommy Shepherd, OTA
WHERE: Network, Caves, Beach
WHAT: Tommy reacting to mintpocalypse, exploring a cave, and being TOO energetic
WHEN: Friday Oct 15th and Saturday Oct 16th
WARNINGS: n/a
Network - Friday Morning
this is so absolutely and completely not my fault at all so anyone who says so is an absolute liar
Network - Saturday Morning
okay but serious when am I getting my reward for a creative way of finding the beach?
Caves
So, hey, this was a thing. Tommy hadn't meant to, yanno, cover the whole damn place in mint. None of the species were supposed to be that bad, right? Not the earth ones. Maybe it was something about this world. What he knew is that he felt like shit on Friday morning. And then a lot more relaxed as he woke and found his way along the path on Saturday, a blur of motion and a whoop of joy as he found the ocean. Of course he took the moment to take credit before starting to explore. Not in the waves, not at all. No, Tommy instead heads along the shore until he finds a cave.
Tommy never would have considered his power related to energy, which is a mistake. If he had, he might have thought twice when he was using his phone as a light and it was SO bright. Then again, he wouldn't have put two and two together anyway. Just mused how it was interesting that the tunnel kept getting brighter rather than darker the further in he went. And if he had a sense of time like that of a normal human, he'd definitely have noticed how weird it was that the tunnel was passing by so quickly. As it was, Tommy was rushing through the caves at a break-neck pace, his hair shining with a soft white glow, and in the air behind him there was a lingering after image of white-green light. A pale mint trailing after him. Amusing, right?
So Tommy darts around, building up a charge, and not realizing that he might not be alone.
Beach
His body is screaming with energy, and there is so much that Tommy wants to do. He's well fed and he feels like he can take on the world. Probably can actually. He's got energy here, too much energy. Which means only one thing. Time for some damn FUN. He moves quickly, a burst of pale-mint colored light racing over the water, over the waves. And, when he realizes that there's a serious trail of light following him, Tommy's soon drawing patterns all over the waves, enjoying the way the light lingers and the shapes follow after him. His fingers trace his name in the air like the residual light of a sparkler, and his laughter follows him easily.
Then there he is, back on the shore, sparks dancing off his feet and hitting the sand, not that he notices. Instead he's busy chasing after the lobster-like creatures. Could probably eat those, right?
And when it's all done the young man, hair shining with an undeniable pale white light, eyes glowing green, stretched out on the sand and considering the sky. Nice. New thought, more time in the cave, because he's been feeling amazing ever since he went there.

"It reminds me of my friend Aang from back home, actually. He has these tattoos that glow when he goes into the Avatar state--that is, when he connects with all his past lives to access all his power. It's like nothing you've ever seen."
She looks out over the ocean, running her hands through the purple sand. "It's really beautiful here, isn't it? It's so easy to get caught up missing home, but sometimes it takes you by surprise."

Glowing is something part of their family has down. Not Tommy. Which makes this really weird. Almost as weird as purple sand. But he sighs and ignores that, reaching down to run his fingers in the sand so that they aren't leaving glowing trails.
"It's pretty, yeah. Glad I accidentally discovered it."

Rolling to crouch on her knees and then stand, Katara takes a low bending stance, moving her arms forward and back in deliberate circular motions. The waves rise up higher and higher in front of her before washing out to sea again, and she stops after a moment. Stooping, she plucks a shell out of the sand and then sits down beside Tommy again.
"I'm glad you're my friend," she says unprompted. "The adults here are nice, but it's... different. We've been at war for so long back home, I guess I've gotten used to doing things without them around. It's just been me and my friends. Zuko and Sokka are the oldest out of all of us, and they're only sixteen and seventeen."

"So not much younger than me. I'm told I'm about nineteen right now, but I'm mostly just taking other peoples' words for it."
He'd missed his eighteenth birthday, and he was just trusting Vision when the guy said it had been his birthday here too.
