So the guests we had during the festival -- one of them was Avatar Roku, a.. well, sort of celebrated hero from my world. Maybe - well. It's complicated. But he's still kind of a hero of legend, and I also kind of chickened out while he was here.

.. and I'm not entirely sure why I'm telling the whole castle this, either. [A small puff of irritation.] Just, um. If you have a chance at something here, I guess, don't chicken out and let it get away. I guess. Agh, I'm rambling worse than my brother.

[And, sounding slightly embarrassed, she shuts the journal.]

[Yeah. He's just eyebrow raising this entry before flipping to other pages sdfdsf]

[waterbends]

[It was Avatar Roku, dude. AVATAR ROKU. ;;]</small.

[wilder]

[WHATEVER HE DON'T CARE. Avatar system is stupid!!!]

[shadow_immortal]

Taking chances, hum? Well I guess this place does offer that and other things too....

But a 'celebrated hero'? Must have been a very important person in your world.

dictated

[waterbends]

He was. -- I'm really kind of sad I missed the chance to meet him.

dictated

[shadow_immortal]

Well, given the nature of this place I wouldn't be surprised if he showed up again. Who knows. Maybe you'll have another chance.

By the way, how are you? [not afraid of sounds in the darkness anymore?]

dictated

[waterbends]

I'm good. Still a little tired from all that celebrating, I guess.

[If she ever finds out that was you...]

dictated

[kamenriderdeno]

[Oh, he can't resist the chance to tease you a little.]

Next time you'd like to give a speech, try writing out what you want to say beforehand.

It might help.

dictated

[waterbends]

Yeah, I know, right? I'm kind of humiliated, ha.

[kamenriderdeno]

Well now, humiliated is a much stronger word. There's no need to feel that bad about it.

You're not the first person to mess up at public speaking, and there're certainly worse outcomes.

[waterbends]

Well.. I guess you have a point. Embarrassed -- is that better?

[inafadingcrown]

If it brings you any comfort, the opportunity you have lost was likely not as great as you think. The hero who hailed from my home was kin; I approached him, but he could not speak.

[waterbends]

Really? I'm not sure if that's relieving or disappointing.

[inafadingcrown]

Nor am I, in truth.

[waterbends]

It's kind of a relief to know that maybe he really did escape this place.

[ofhope]

That sounds like a lead-in.

[waterbends]

It's not, really. Just me being kind of dumb.

How are you, Joshua?

[ofhope]

Still trapped.

[waterbends]

Destroyed any more bedroom doors?

[waterproofed]

So what's up with this Avatar dude?

[waterbends]

He mastered all four elements. And he kind of kept the balance in our world, too.

[waterproofed]

Keeping balance is definitely a good thing.

dictated

[jetset]

So you didn't talk to him?

dictated

[waterbends]

.. no. Not at all.

[jetset]

[ a verbal shrug ]

Well, neither did I. Kinda expected you to, though.
