[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.

[Korra pls, is the look she is getting from him right now.]

I'm a demigod, for serious. How else did you think I was able to control the stove, man?

[Oh she knows that look. She's given it to people who didn't believe she was the Avatar.] No way.

[It's not that she doesn't have trouble thinking of Leo as such but- well yes, that's what it is exactly.] How?? You're nothing like, well-uh okay so I don't know exactly what a demi-god acts like but still. That’s like storybook stuff back on my world.

[Words, she has them. Just not the ability to use them when stuff like this occurs.]

[Wow, Korra, you're so eloquent. Leo kind of gets what she's saying though.]

Yeah, well, they're usually storybook stuff in my world too, except when you're actually a demigod. And then you end up getting chased by monsters almost everywhere you go and usually don't live past fifteen.

[Said jokingly, but there might be the tiiiniest hint of bitterness in that. He puts his concentration to cooking, though, to avoid looking at her directly.]

This turtle really does have everything. [Rubbing her eyes like that would help anything, Korra can’t help but ask.] What qualifies as monsters? But you’re about that age, right? [Unless she was way off again on guessing someone’s age.]

Okay, that smells good. [Whatever the heck that food is, her nose finds it delicious already.]

Well, once there were those giant, ugly ones called Titans that tried to destroy the Gods, but that happened sometime before I knew I was a demigod. And then there's this sleepy chick on the ground that we need to stop before she wakes up, and a couple of her minions, and those spirits that possess people, and... [waves hands around!] There's a lot of them, okay? And yeah, I'm 15. Guess I should make a "goodbye friends I am gone" announcement soon, huh?

[COOKING, ETC. and the tacos are done!] Here you go! [He offers them to her with a wide grin on his face.]

And I thought my world had some screwed up things happen. [Unsure of whether or not she should pursue the subject had very little time for consideration because food.]

Thanks! [Taking the taco, Korra licked her lips preparing for her first bite and it was-] Sooo goohhuuud. [Her taste buds are just going to melt with the flavor that’s flooding them right now. Time for huge bites and talking while eating.] I needed this in my life.
