[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.

Nope. Benders can bend whatever element goes with the nation they're born in. But not everyone's a bender. [Her head would explode if she got a list of heroes and their abilities from Wally's world. Hee, Wally World.]

Nothing but wood? What about if there's a fire? [So glad she's not in that sector. Firebends more than she waterbends, even though she's from the water tribe.]

Huh, sounds genetic, then... [ But he's not going to start going into that stuff right now. ]

Mm'yeah, just about. And I guess... we might be in trouble. [ It makes him worry about some of his experiments now. ]

That would be my guess. I mean the other two members on our pro-bending team are brothers, but one's an earthbender and the other one is a firebender. [On that last word she diverts her eyes shyly.] Their parents were from different nations.

[Man, she is really glad she doesn’t live in that sector.] So if there’s a thunderstorm and lightning strikes a tree causing a fire…what then? [Of course, she can’t help but think about a horrible situation.] Just no wood sector? There’s got to be a fail safe or something, right? I mean even in my world, which is apparently behind the times, we have waterbenders ready to put out a fire.

[My god Korra, Wally is not the head of the “Wood Sector Fire Hazard and Safety Department”.]

So are there a lot of families that have people with different bending abilities in them? [ It sounds like a blast, ie. chaotic. ]

I bet the kedan have some kind of way of dealing with fires. [ He scratches his head. ] I mean, I hope they do. With how long they've been living here, I figure they must have dealt with fires in the past.

Being a waterbender sounds convenient in that case. Not too many people where I'm from can manipulate water like that, so we have plain ol' firemen.
