Friday Meme Light: Cause It's A Bittersweet Victory (Ten Years Later Thread)
The clock continues to turn on the ship.
The last years have been of turbulence, surprises and great fights, but eventually, five years ago, the Ohm were defeated and slowly, peace was restored to the entire multiverse. The crisis was averted! Congratulations!
...However rebuilding universes takes time. Energy. Power. It still might be years off before you'll get to go home, and Stacy is truly saddened about that. Call it catch 22 if you will, but at least the life on the ship is a lot more peaceful now. The farms have grown, and now there's enough in-house grown food to feed everyone who doesn't feel like eating slop or eating slop in the sensoriums every day. That's a small comfort, right? Oh sure, there's still the surprise or two on it, but now there's slowly more places to stop, and Stacy has been a lot more lenient about people getting their shots...
As they sometimes say, life will find a way to flourish, anywhere it can. My, there's a lot more bellies around the ship than before...
And maybe. One day. Far off future. You'll get to go home. But that's not now.
Ten years is a lot of time for people to grow, personalities to change and emotions to emerge. How have your characters turned out of it?

She's about as interested in confirming the identity of the father as she was for the child she gave birth to, and now raises communally with the rest of her Order, along with a number of orphans from the war.
Building a new temple, since that's what she seems to be doing, is an interesting and unexpected thing to have done with her life. Only a few other air nomads have awoken in the time she's been on the ship, and most of the new Order are not benders at all.
Her peaceful face as she chants is marred by livid scars from injuries she received during the course of the war, and an infection she almost died from. Her lips are torn and puffy with permanent damage, and she is blind in one eye. She has been offered, and turned down, surgeries to repair these.
Aside from this, and the inevitable maturity of ten extra years, Nima has not changed much.
