[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.

Argh! Yeah it is! I can't read ANYTHING here and all I can do is go by whatever pictures I can see. It's frustrating! [She'll just rest her forehead on her desk.]

As if winding up in this place alone wasn't enough.

[She offers up a sympathetic smile.] You can try to ask if the people who are learning the language would mind teaching you?

[A beat.] I arrived alone, too. But most of us, we're pretty welcoming and friendly.

Well there is this one kid who's offered to teach me, but I've got to cough up some money. With no job, it's kind of rough.

Most the people I've met have been really nice. I just wish I could have my polar bear dog come with me too. Naga's usually with me wherever I go.

They asked you to pay them for it? [Kids are scary these days.] Yeah, the job market isn't what it once was. Some people have jobs with other Foreigners, though. You could try there?

[Blink.] Polar bear dog?

Anything's worth a shot.

Yeah! Um, think of an arctic dog mixed with a polar bear. She's tame though and totally reliable.

[Just. Trying to think of how... that could happen.] We don't have, um, polar bear dogs where I'm from.

Now that's a shame. I'd love to introduce you to her, she's such a little sweetheart. And a great mode of transportation. She loves going for a run and it's always a fun ride!

Who knows, maybe she'll show up. My friend Percy's hellhound appeared when we landed on the continent. I'd love to meet her if she does end up here, though.

Really?? I'd love to introduce you to her! [Just the mere possibility of that brightens up Korra's entire being.]

Wait, hellhound?

[A grin, and then a nod.] It's a dog about the size of a rhino.

Oh wow, Naga never gets to play with any other animals, just me! That could be fun for her.

[And now for something completely different:]

Wait- Are we talking rhino like "komodo rhino" or rhino like "lion rhino"?

[The she adds warily.] Not elephant rhino, right?

I think Mrs. O'Leary would enjoy it, too.

[Omg, Korra. Vanessa is so unsure about these animals.]

I... Don't know? I've never heard of those kinds of rhinos before.

You haven’t? Wow, I didn’t think everything would be different here. I’m sure they won’t play too rough with each other.

[She can’t help it, it’s the animals of her world. Poor Vanessa, Korra must sound insane.]

O’Leary?

People here come from different worlds with different animals, so it's not so strange. [Don't think about how those animals got mixed, Vanessa. Just don't.]

That's her name. The hellhound.

[Yes, please don’t.]

Oh! Well that’s an interesting name for a ~~rhino~~ hellhound. [Because Naga is so suitable for a huge white bear dog.]

It is! It's definitely different. [Because she doesn't want to be insulting to the man who named the hellhound.] It's a good name.
