three whirlwinds. VIDEO + ACTION.

[ Strange. Definitely very strange. Ikki knew the room, because it was hers, but it wasn't right. Things weren't there, or were cleaned away, and although she searched around for it, she couldn't find her box or her clothes or even her sister. No matter how hard she tried to think about it, she couldn't really make things mesh in her head.

...Oh well! Humming softly to herself, Ikki opens the journal, going to her favourite setting - video. She doesn't look overly worried, although she's more or less baffled - she fully expects someone will find her and explain things, or at least tell her where to go. ]

Jinoraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! D'you have my things? Or does someone else? 'Cause I can't find 'em. Or you, so I'm using this, although I dunno the chances of you reading this book instead of another book. [ Pouting. It would be so much easier if her sister weren't constantly buried in books. At least there's a very good chance some of her other family members will see this. At least, that's the entire plan - so far as Ikki plans anything. ]

Y'know, I could have really important news and you'd miss it 'cause I can't find you! I mean, I don't. I think. I mean, I guess I sorta do, but not ACTUALLY and if you'd read this you'd probably KNOW it already. I mean, I can probably think of some! But anyway my POINT is that now I'm gonna have to run over to the library 'cause that's probably where you are, and if you aren't I'm basically gonna have to run around everywhere instead 'cause maybe you decided to go sit and read on a bench but how do I know if you did, you know? And it's not like I know all the little places you could be or might be 'cause I'm not totally sure about that right now and anyway this is a bigger area to check than usual which is ANNOYING 'cause I don't know where you are for SURE and you might not be where I think you are and you might not even be where I don't think you are, and that gets CONFUSING.

[ Apparently that was all on one breath, because she has to pause to take another, still gesturing vaguely with her hands. ] Or! I guess I'll go check for my clothes first, 'cause the dress is nice an' all but at least that'd be some of my things down, I guess? An' that's on the way anyway, so I guess that works! But! If you're not here, then you might be there? I mean, 'cause where else would you sleep? [ She's not even really talking to her sister any longer, if she ever was. Hrm. ] 'Kay! So I'll go get my clothes, and then go back and check if you're at the other house. [ Aaaand that's a wrap. Video function ended. Feel free to hit her up in journals/on the path of House 58 > shops > House 56, if you want. ]

[ACTION; HOUSE 56]
[ And post picking up her clothing, Ikki wanders back to her second household - which was the first, a little while back - to locate any of the relatives she hadn't managed to find to begin with. She does not actually knock on the door, but will just go inside and track down anyone who is there. And also probably take an apple or something to eat. ]

[-he'll get to that question, Ikki.]

Did you plan it to spell that?

Nope! [ Happy coincidence, really. The starfish was lucky she didn't give it more names to ruin any happy acronym. ] I didn't notice it did it 'till Katara shortened it.

...you have a talent Ikki. A real talent.

For naming things? [ Or, like, for airbending things? That's kinda special. ]

Let's say that's one of them. --actually, maybe you should name this world too. Only this enclosure we're in is called Luceti, you know.

You mean no one's ever named it? What're the other enclosures called? Did they know anything new that we didn't? Ventus said some of the people were people that people here knew, which is weird - I mean not weird but interesting strange and sort of odd like how d'you end up going to one and not the other? Can you talk to any of them?

We can't talk to them anymore, no. Which is a bummer - one of my cousins showed up from there, actually. But they were sent back to their own enclosure, which is called Kin'cora.

...there's probably a name for this world. No one's ever said it though.

So what's that mean? I mean - that there're other places? [ Given that as far as Ikki knew they were all under the impression there was one place. WEIRD. ]

Did anyone ask?

[It's a lesser known detail!]

Sometimes the Malnosso address us as residents of a "Region 6". Kin'cora was close to this one, maybe in the same region. So if there's other enclosures all in one region... there could be dozens, really.

[He's met people from a few, on other missions.]

[ She should just mentally make Shikamaru her teacher re: all things Luceti. Half the details she's gleaned from talking to him. ]

And it's not sure how many enclosures are in a region, so that's - loooots. [ Well, that's interesting? ] ...So d'you think that means you wouldn't be able to see your cousin unless they went home from the other one and then came to this one? I wonder if anyone we know has been to other ones! And then forgot about it. 'Cause I guess if they had and remembered they'd have said.

[Mr. Exposition - it is his new found lot in life.

Meanwhile, Ikki continues to do a good job of raising some interesting questions...]

...yeah. You'd think so, wouldn't you? People have come back remember this place after all, like you. I've never heard of someone having been in another enclosure though.

[Does this world draw people to specific places then? The Malnosso run the enclosures, but how far in placement are they involved, he wonders. Who goes where? Why people who know each other? Family, friends, comrades, enemies.

Is it always the same?]

[ When you ask a million and one questions, the odds are in your favour of at least a few being interesting or useful. ...Unless the odds are against whoever you're speaking with. ]

Soooo that means either they don't or for some reason we're not allowed to? Which is weird, 'cause you said you knew about other places, so why would anyone bother? You could be doing something else instead of doing something you didn't need to do, liiiiiike baking cookies or something!

An' it's not like certain worlds to certain places, if your cousin's somewhere else. Orrrrrr I guess maybe it is and it's regions that're worlds but then why would there be other villages that's weird [ Okay she has a headache now this is way too difficult to think about ] - this place is like extra lessons after really hard airbending training!

[...he has no idea, Ikki, but they probably need a subject change.]

Ha. And you've only been back for less than a day too.

Yep! Didja hear about a party with masks? Are you going to that?

[Masks wha- oh.] The masquerade thing?

Is that what it's called? Sora just said it's a biiiiiiiiig party with masks and costumes and things!

I think that's the same thing. I wasn't paying close attention...

You weren't paying attention to a party? [ WITH COSTUMES? Can you hear the disbelief? ]

Ah, but you have to go! I'm going to ask if I can go! I think grandpa and Katara will probably go though, 'cause they go to lots of things and did you know they're helping out at the welcome committee thing now? But dressing up sounds fun!

Aha... I'm not much a fan for that kind of thing. Parties and fancy clothes - it's troublesome stuff.

So you're not going at all?

What, as opposed to going a little?

A little would be better than not at all!! You could even not dress up!

What's the point?

'Cause it'd be fun! You could come with us! And we could play together!

There'll be other people there. You'll have fun with them, and we can do things another time.
