Hey! Get back here!

[For the better part of the morning, Jinora is out chasing what looks like a fist-sized, heart-shaped balloon. It doesn't have a string, of course, because it is her heart. This makes it all the more difficult to catch the yellow heart every time it decides to drift away from its owner.

The young airbender is quick on her feet and even faster once she's off the ground, sending snow flying as she propels herself from the ground to the rooftops. She's trying not to get in anyone's way, but such things are virtually inevitable when you're chasing your wayward heart.]

You're mine! Aren't you supposed to listen to me?

[Every time the girl gets close to the heart, it takes off in a different direction, sometimes bobbing near the ground, occasionally spiraling up into the sky. At this rate, she's going to have to go home and get her air glider...]


[ooc: Pretend this was up earlier in the day? Action only; please feel free to have your character run into Jinora and/or her heart!]

[So, Tohru had seen a few incredible things since arriving, but nothing quite like someone in flight. Least of all someone she lived with! She always knew such amazing people. She watches Jinora leap to the rooftops in complete awe.]

Jinora! You can fly?

[bookbending]

[Upon hearing Tohru, she jumps down, cushioning her landing with a brief puff of air.]

No, but I can airbend.

[She frowns in the direction of her wayward heart. It seems to be teasing her, hovering just out of reach.]

I might need my glider. I can't catch it.

[riceballfruit]

It's still amazing!

[Tohru looks at the item of interest and her eyes go wide.] I can watch it for you and try to get it while you go get your glider?

[bookbending]

I'll show you more later, if you want.

[Jinora brightens and gives Tohru a quick hug.] That would be great, thank you!

[riceballfruit]

Yes, if you can, I would like that very much.

[She hugs back, quickly, then lets go so Jinora won't waste another moment.]

You're welcome! [Now she just needs to chase it down and try to keep it in one area. Maybe if she can get it trapped in an alleyway?]

[deadmanbusiness]

[The heart bops into Theo's head at one point and he spins around to see what it was that smacked him and will probably, if unlucky get a face full of airbender as well.]

[bookbending]

[Jinora launches herself over Theo, leaving him wind-ruffled but otherwise undamaged. She doesn't stop; the stupid heart is getting away again.]

Sorry!

[worldofourown]

[ As the pretty yellow heart floats by, bobbing at chest-height, he catches it neatly. ]

Well what have we here~?

[bookbending]

[The ten year-old comes to an abrupt halt.]

You caught it! [And, because she has no reason at all to not be wholly honest:] That's my heart.

[worldofourown]

[ He bounces the heart playfully in both hands, ]

Your heart, hm? [ The nails of his fingers are sharp. Mock-experimentally, he presses them against the balloon, ] Dear me. Whatever would happen if it snagged something sharp.

[bookbending]

[Whatever the heart is made out of gives, showing no immediate signs of breaking, but that is not okay.]

Be careful! I need that.

[Korra comes out of her bedroom, sweaty and cheerful from spending the morning playing with her new toy.]

Hey Jinora. Who put the punching bag --

[She notices the floating yellow heart.]

What. Is that.

[bookbending]

[Jinora darts past Korra, gliding staff in hand.]

No time to talk, I have to catch my heart!

action;

[anatural]

Is that some kind of koan or something?

action;

[bookbending]

Kind of, but not exactly.

[Jinora hasn't checked the network and doesn't know what exactly it is, but it's heart-shaped and something tells her that it belongs to her, so it stands to reason that she needs to catch it.]

[spiderkid]

[As soon as he sees her chasing it, Miles pulls on his costume and Spider-Man rushed to help, shooting webs at the runaway heart.]

[bookbending]

[She appreciates the help. Jinora isn't sure what would happen if she were to lose her heart entirely and would rather not find out.]

Thank you, Spider-Man!

[intheblanks]

Hearts never do what you tell them.

Found it yet?

[bookbending]

Never?

Yes, thank you. I'm not letting it get away again.

[intheblanks]

Never. But, if you're lucky, it might do something you agree with.

[bookbending]

You're not talking about the heart I was chasing.

ACCHONBURIKEEEE! [Pinoko squishes her cheeks in with her palms, wide eyes looking like they're about to pop right out of her head.] Yucanfwy?!

[Stop squishing your face, Pinoko, it makes it harder for people to understand you.]

[Video]

[bookbending]

[Jinora has to pause to check her network device because what.]

What did you say?

[pinokosthewife]

Acchonburike!

It'sha Pinoko-ism 'cause Pinoko coined it, bird-girl.

Ever had a feeling or shaw shomething sho weird or shurprising or amazing, you couldn't find a word for? That's acchonburike!

[bookbending]

Oh! I'm not a bird-girl and that was just airbending, but that's a good word. Are you Pinoko? I'm Jinora.
