[ An anonymous post from a console the Console café pings the network. The poster had gone through the laborious task of omitting any indication of what café they were in, or any personal details. Said post is a relatively non-descriptive person of color of some indeterminate middle-aged with a nervous, almost supplicant air to them. His voice is now more than a cagey, but friendly conversational tone. ]
The black walls, high as they are, were as comforting a sight as the police force with their unorthodox, eccentric regulations and the majority of the natives who had something more judgmental than curiosity in the glances they throw our way. And this curfew business that's new.
Enough to make anyone nervous. Some first day, right?

[A dry comment from Ororo, who's sitting cross-legged in her chair and recounting her own personal experiences.]

I should hope it doesn't come to that. It's not even us that instigated this, is it?

There is meaning to all things, even this -- if you look deeply enough.
[Sage commentary, right? Not that Shifu really knows WHAT it means.]

You...talked.

Yes, I did. You did also. [A dry comment.] Should this continue, it may even become a conversation.

A fair point.

[A pause.]
You are no animal I know. You are a Hoo-Man from outside of China?

The thing that Yue immediately notices about this man is that he looks distinctly Water Tribe. She can't really help being curious, although immediately asking about his heritage without even acknowledging his first concerns would be rude.]
It's certainly nerve-wracking, but hopefully things will begin to calm down soon enough. Although I do think the curfew is a bit much. [She'll follow it, sure, but not everyone is content with staying inside. It's especially unfair, since none of them have much of a choice in the matter.]
[video]
I'm sorry if this is too forward, but do I know you?
[video]
I'm from the Northern Water Tribe.
[video]
So am I, but...I lived outside the main city. My village was small.
[video]
My name is Yue.

You think that's crazy, you've missed all the insane stuff.

...I should be thankful that I did, then.

[He's just a little bitter really.]
So strap yourself in cause you're in for a heck of a ride.

[Doesn't look very impressed.]
Anyway, I'm Kon welcome to the turtle I guess.

[ Of course it is. Amon visibly winces, and adjusted his posture to make himself look even more helpless. This was a ungodly test of the limitations his of his own pride. ]
Could...do you think you could use my name, Nanuq? Over the network? I just learned the nastiest way possible with every going on that people here might not be fond of me, and I want to stay out of trouble.
Being a political activist when I was young and stupid followed me here, I suppose. It's just made me nervous. How are you? [ /han solo wince of why did I say that]
video; private
Oh, jeez, sorry. Of course. Nanuq.
[She smiles encouragingly.]
There's nothing wrong with being an activist. I'm one myself.
[It's easy when you have the full might of Atlantis backing your personal safety!]
And I'm fine. These guys aren't so tough.

[ Grit your teeth grit your teeth grit your teeth. Blunt force friendship. ]
I hope that's more than optimism talking.
