[Nita is looking perkier than she has since the Malicant mess started. She's also looking moist, since, with the return of her gills, she's been spending most of her time underwater, and only came up now to make a network post. And, last of all, she's looking concerned, because there's something that's been bothering her, and she just can't figure it out.]

I'm not even close to a magical theorist or anything, and there's gotta be someone who knows more about this stuff than I do... I have a question.

How did some of us lose things we always had? Like, I understand, sort of, how Captain America--sorry, Cap, I'm gonna use you as an example--could lose his powers, 'cause he got them from an experiment. I even kind of get how mutant powers like my ankle wings could go away, because they're genetic but they're not really normal. But my gills--and the other Atlanteans' gills--closed up! That's not special! Every member of our species has those!

What's going on with this place that it can take away ordinary things?

[ He prefers 'violent disagreeing' over terrorism ]

That would leave a fair number of open-ended questions concerning the people who have already left without a moments notice.

[ How does assuage bad feels. ]

That doesn't mean they went home.

[Not like that, really.]

[ He briefly breaks eye contact; a falter in self-possession making it clear he's well aware that this is unchartered territory for him. ]

Nothing says they did, or didn't. Several people who knew each other before coming here exhibit...gaps in the their memories. Remembering things that happened to someone else before the other knew it occurred.

It implies a future.

[She likes Noatak the normal(iiiiish) person a lot better than Amon the symbol, anyway.]

What if time isn't frozen? Eshai sure isn't telling us the whole truth about anything else. There are people from my universe who're needed there way more than they are here!

[She's pretty much talking about Cap.]

[ Nita had that effect on him; he was hard pressed to exert that persona of Amon when she had known him as no one but Noatak. Even his own brother couldn't claim as much. ]

I will admit that neither Eshai or Tu Vishan...inspire much confidence, or trust. [ Helping!! ]

Still it seems leaving 'the job,' if you want to call it, half-finished gets us no closer to finding out if this is a one way trip, or not. And while I don't put any faith in Eshai, the turtle itself is much more agreeable if nothing else.

[The disarming charm of someone who's both nice enough to give you a chance, and tough enough to put you into orbit if you abuse it.]

Oh my god, why is everyone siding with the giant turtle?

[Korra did too! You don't want to be like Korra, do you?

It's not that Nita has anything specifically against the giant turtle. She just doesn't like being spiritually linked to the damn thing, and Amon's the last person she'd expect to be making friends with it. The whole affair is making her more contrary than she'd otherwise be.]

[ After making the valiant effort of carrying her for all of ten feet that One Time he is very much aware of both of those things. ]

Some of us had the unexpected opportunity to...speak with it.

[ grumble mumble he doesn't need to know that ]

I thought going to the head just made you all loopy.

[Nita missed out on happy fun turtle dream time.]

Several of us were 'lucky' enough to be caught unawares at our most vulnerable and experience the 'dreaming' aspect of Tu Vishan.

[ Not that he's still upset about that, or anything. ]

Like, in your actual dreams? And you remembered when you woke up?

[That actually sounds kinda cool.]
