[Seeing herself looking back at herself in the little window on the corner of her monitor, Korra gave a stumped look and tapped the little camera lens that the desktop was using. Seeing her huge finger tapping back at her caused her a smile and she cleared her throat. Music can be heard from the speakers.]

Ahem. Hello. My name's Korra, I just got here. I'm the Avatar, but I'm not too sure that means anything here. [She looks both angry and confused, immediately wondering why she just thought of that now instead before.] But anyway, the kedan informed me that I should probably get a job. [Of course it probably sounded a lot nicer when they said it.]

So if anyone knows of a good place to work at, I'd appreciate the help. [She leans forward and puts her forehead in her hand, admonishing herself for not bringing up what she would able to do for work.] Um, I'm a bender, I can create fire and move water or earth around or into just about any shape or form you need? [Ice sculpting crossed her mind. She'd never given any thought to it. Then again she was never too artistic to begin with.] I don't know if fire matters? Burning things doesn't sound a like it'd be in big demand...

Also I'm a former pro athlete! If there's any kinds of sports going on I'd like to get into that! [A smile spreads across her face.] Doesn't even have to be a job, just for fun.

I'm in the Metal Sector if that helps. If anybody's from there we can meet up and you could fill me in a little more about this place? Looks pretty cool to be honest. Oh, and food, meeting at a restaurant would be good. [She stares at her monitor screen with her lips pushed to one side of her mouth.] And any advice or pointers on these things- [She points at the monitor, which just seems like she's pointing at the viewers.] would be welcome too. The kedan gave me a quick once over for it, but I'm not sure that's going to be enough.

[There's an long awkward pause as she looks left to right nervously.]

Yeah, that's about it.

[alphatar]

What? No! [She rubs her arm a little nervously.] Not on purpose.

How did you get your white hair? [Of course the only white hair Korra knows is from age or from spirits, of the moon variety from what's she's heard. So awkward question out of nowhere.]

[donttouch]

_{( Her lips quirk in a smile. )} Hey, it never hurts to ask.

Oh, that? Early onset chronic stress. _{( That she manages to deliver with a straight face. )}

[alphatar]

Sounds rough. What was your world like, pretty bad?

[donttouch]

I was just joking, actually. Though my world is... well. It's something.

It's actually because I'm a mutant.

[alphatar]

Oh, I thought you were serious. [Quickly she tries her best not to look too sheepish.] Soooo, what's a mutant? You look pretty normal to me.

[donttouch]

It's a genetic thing. We're like humans, only a little different. We've got powers.

[alphatar]

Powers like 'super' powers? [She's been hearing a lot of that lately.]

For the first time, I'm not the one to stand out and that's not a bad thing. So what kind of powers do you have?

[donttouch]

I can punch things really hard.

And some other stuff.

[alphatar]

I can relate to punching. [Her face lights up at the word.] Is there a place to practice some punches, a gym maybe?

What's the other stuff? And don't say kicking things. [She adds the last part with a coy smile.]

[donttouch]

I don't know about a gym, but there's a couple open spaces in the Wood Sector that seem to be pretty good for that sort of thing.

Hey, I'm really good at kicking things. But the rest is kind of complicated. And it depends, on what the people around me can do.

[alphatar]

That does sound a little complicated. [She's curious, but doesn't to pry too much.] I'll have to keep an eye out for some gym equipment that I can set up in my new home. After I get a job that is.

[donttouch]

Hey, if you ever need anyone to spar with, let me know. I'm no pro-athlete, but.

[alphatar]

That's sounds awesome! Sparring's a great way to blow off steam. Sounds like a deal top me.

[donttouch]

Figure we could all blow off some steam, right?

Oh--I'm Rogue, by the way. Probably should've said that first.

[alphatar]

Don't worry about it Rogue, I totally forgot to ask so it's all good.

[donttouch]

Well, good.

I don't know if I can help on the job hunt, much, but good luck.
