[The six hour cart ride from shore left Hellboy with a crick in his neck and a bad taste in his mouth. Not much surprises him anymore, and after spending who the hell knows how long being hunted by the Baba Yaga, he was glad to be out of her reach, even if he knew he was nowhere near familiar ground.

The guys who fished him out of the ocean had no problem telling him where he was or how he got there, but after a few moments of conversation, Hellboy realized that he just didn't give a crap. Wherever this "In Between" was, he knew it couldn't be good. It was only a matter of time before the real reason he was here reared its ugly head.

Until then...]

Anyone know where a guy can get a drink around here?

[He looks like utter crap, every inch of him cut and bruised, his hair falling out of its knot at the base of his neck, and his jacket blood-soaked and tattered to pieces, but looking presentable is obviously the last thing on his mind.]

[He's kind of still just...in awe? Yeah awe sounds better. He doesn't say much else for a few moments and then...]

So...is that make-up or real? Because not going to lie, but it looks pretty amazing.

I'll send your compliments to my stylist. Getting the right shade of red is always a pain.

[Har. Har. He so funny.]

[Oh don't say that, he's gonna think you're being serious now!]

Oh. Well hopefully you'll be able to find it here. I mean it must be tough if it stayed on after being in the water.

[Click.]

Hang on, you're being sarcastic.

[Oh, now he's gotten his amusement for the day. He really needed that.]

Yep.

Sokka by the way.

[He grins at te red guy.]

[He nods his greeting.] Hellboy.

Nice to meet you Hellboy. You been filled in on any of the fun stuff.

[Should be clear he doesn't really think it's fun.]

[Poor kid. This place is practically a vacation for HB.]

You mean the giant turtle? [He scratches at his thin goatee, thinking.] Got to say, that one's a first.

[The rest? Not so much.]

[Sokka does not want to know what his world is like then. This place is a watered down version of home...minus the turtle thing.]

Like the gang wars and fighting. But yeah, the turtle's kinda new.

Could be worse.

[He has no comment on it either way because... he really couldn't give a crap. That's about when he started tuning those kedan guys out.]

Well...most situations can be worse. I mean the turtle could dive. But...it's still pretty bad.

[Sokka was too busy freaking out that they had been captured by creepy faceless Fire Nation people. Then that it was just the Fire Nation. Then it wasn't Fire Nation...then he thought his room was sweet.]

First time away from home?

[Hellboy doesn't really know anything about the other people, the Foreigners. People like him, the kedan had said. But he doubts it.

He still thinks this all could be some kind of dream, or just a trap set up for someone or something trying to kill him, but he'll go with it. Start collecting info about these people he's supposedly trapped with. Get some idea of what he's dealing with, yada yada.]

[He snorts and then laughs a little.]

Depends what you mean. Never left my own world before, but I haven been home for a long time either.

[He's been amazed at his travels and adventures and the friends he's made but...sometime she just misses home. So Sokka shrugs.]

My world's at war and I'm trying to help end it.

[First time traveler, then.]

Then I'm guessing you're in a hurry to get back.

[He's quiet for a moment and ends up shrugging again and sitting back. He groans and rubs his forehead.]

Yeah but...a little bit of no at the same time? There's someone here from my world but back home she's not...she's not physically around anymore.

But there's people from my future that say we win! So...it's really complicated and I'm totally being selfish by being happy in some way being here...

Hey, sometimes you got to take whatever good you can get.

That...helps.

Maybe you'll find some good here, even if it is a drink.

Maybe.

Hope you do.
