[ sometime after newt basically forcefully carries katara back to her dang hut, she will go back outside. she doesn't really want to stay in there all day. it feels a little suffocating every the show they just had to go through.

she settles onto one of the chairs near the bonfire. she's staring to intently at it that she won't hear someone approaching, even as she complains to herself. ]

I can't believe we have to just sit here until tomorrow...

I get the feeling whoever killed Haru isn't capable of feeling guilt.

[It's easy enough to kill a person why simply stabbing them in the right spot. There's no need to cause any additional damage, and yet — they all stumbled across a dismembered corpse. That's unforgivable.]

The rules won't help, and the chief's won't say anything about it. Our only option is to wait and see.

[And ain't that messed up.]

[seaclipsed]

I hate that that's what most of our options are! Wait and see. We won't know how to plan for something until it happens, but that's just so...

[ she groans, turning around. ]

[alienated]

Frustrating, I know. We're stuck reacting instead of taking action. There has to be a way to change that.

[But someone is dead, just like they said. What else is going to go according to their plans?]

[seaclipsed]

What do you think the trial will be like?

[ backtagging is hilarious because you can laugh at their pain. ]

[alienated]

You mean besides "bad"?

[basically us, every backtag:

]

[seaclipsed]

Right. Like... how will it even be run? Is there going to be a judge, or...

[alienated]

You saw the ruleboard, right? Sounds a lot like we're meant to be judge, jury and executioner ourselves.

[seaclipsed]

[ look the last time she had to do a trial like that it was a goddamn mess, so she groans. ]

That has the potential of being... difficult.

[alienated]

Like everything else on this stupid island.

[thanks, chiefs.]
