03 ≋ Magic water!
WHO: Katara and you!
WHERE: The beach, the square
WHAT: Catching fish with magic water, having a fish fry
WHEN: The day after the glownies (firefly-horses) create a path to the ocean.
WARNINGS: None I can think of!
--∿≈≋🌘≋≈∽--
Look, it's not like Katara hasn't enjoyed tending to the greenhouse. Being able to help provide for everyone has been extremely motivating and rewarding to boot, but at the end of the day she's a Water Tribe girl through and through. The minute a path appears that leads down to the ocean, she's there, swimming in the chilly water, bending the ocean around her to make ice and waves and streams.
The idea for a communal dinner comes to her when she catches a fish in a floating sphere of water. Back home, nobody in the Tribe ever ate alone, and the same was true of her friends when they traveled together. It would be good for morale, wouldn't it? A big, hearty meal that everyone can share together.
It only takes her a moment to make a big icy tub on the beach and fill it with ocean water. Soon, half a dozen colorful fish are swimming around in the shallow water, and Katara wades back out into the surf to catch another. Join her if you like!

It took a little bit of doing, but everything is ready. The fish are all cooking away on a griddle made from a piece of scrap metal set over stones and placed over an open fire. She's recruited a little help in gathering fruits and vegetables from the greenhouse, and those are either stewing together or have been converted into little dumplings which are frying right alongside the fish.
It took a little bit of innovation, but there should be enough for everyone to have a serving, and as much as she always complained about being the 'mother' of her little group of friends, there's something affirming about being able to that now for her new friends.
Whether it's leaves from the greenhouse or actual bowls, there's going to be some kind of arrangement so people aren’t just eating with their hands. It’s an effort, but one she’s happy to make.

[ Katara's happy face pops up on the screen. Like before, she's in front of the fountain. No art this time, though. ]
I've cooked dinner for everyone who wants to come and eat. There are vegetarian options, too. Come down to the square and eat with me. I caught twenty big fish so there's enough for everybody.

Ocean!
She spends most of her time wandering the beach on her own. At first she was looking for secrets, but soon she gets distracted and mostly looks for pretty rocks or seashells instead. She's got a small handful of them when she comes across Katara, who is at this point, moving around globs of water with what Krista can only assume is magic.
"Whoa..." She's pretty quiet, but she'll hesitantly wander closer to get a better look at what's going on. "What's, uh, what's happening over here?"
no subject
She's explained her bending a dozen times by now, but this face isn't one she's familiar with, so she explains again. "A lot of people say that it looks like magic, but it's a discipline mastered by the people of my tribe. It's called waterbending. I figured that since we can get to the ocean now, I could catch some fish and make dinner for everyone. Do you eat fish?"
no subject
“Do I? Fish is so good...” She wanders even closer, peering at the collection that’s already been gathered, “So long as these aren’t gonna taste like cotton candy or, I don’t know, make people grow to twice their size or something like some of the other stuff around here.”
no subject
But she smiles and comes to stand by the tub. The fish that have been in there for a while now have begun to swim more sluggishly, thanks to the abrupt change in temperature.
"I ate one already and it tastes fine. Not exactly like I'm used to, but not like candy or anything." Though it belatedly occurs to her that, yeah, she probably should have been a little more cautious about eating untested thing. "I'm okay, though. No second head or anything. And being twice my size right now would be kind of amazing, so if that does happen I wouldn't mind."
no subject
But she supposes normal fish are just fine, too. She glances back over at Katara, hesitating for a moment before asking, "Are you, uh... I mean, I'm not sure how I could help, but do you want some help anyway?"
no subject
Moving back to stand in the surf, Katara reaches out with her senses to feel the movement of the fish as the dart around in the waves. With her bending, she isolates them, pulling them up out in a stream that gets funneled into the tub. It's a complex bit of bending, and it takes a lot of concentration, but she nods at the offer.
"I wouldn't turn down help! Do you know how to cook?"
