[Sokka's face is scrunched up and his tongue is just poking out of his mouth as he jabs at a few things and then pulls back with a grin.]

There! It...is set up, right?

I'm not going to just be talking to some...what is this thing called again?

[He squints and gives another jab before shrugging.]

Anyway, I know there's other people around, so hi! Hello! I'm Sokka, just some guy currently hoping that he's doing this ri--[And the video and all sound cut off as Sokka touches something that clearly makes it end recording.]

Comments

[shifu_sifu]

[Have one Shifu, red panda and Kung Fu master, staring calmly at the video.]

Congratulations. You appear to have done something incorrect.

[There is now a level zero.]

[video]

[whoneedsbending]

[He's a little surprised to see someone...er, thing? reply to him and he leans in close. He's worked out how to reply!

Oh he's getting the hang of this! No really...he isn't.]

A talking...fire ferret?

[video]

[shifu_sifu]

Congratulations again. [A dry statement to accompany a twitch of his ear.] You have now done two things incorrectly.

[There is now a level negative one?]

Will you try again?

[video]

[whoneedsbending]

[Sokka is...he can't really get it and he scratches the side of his head.]

I'll take a pass.

[video]

[shifu_sifu]

[It is infrequent that he encounters someone that gives up when challenged and it takes him a brief moment to process that it happened.]

That's... it?

[Break in composure. No. That can't be it.]

You will not try again?

[video]

[whoneedsbending]

Well...I'm probably only get it wrong again. I don't know what or who you are so I can't guess right. And uh...I don't know how to use this thing.

[He shrugs.]

I know when to bow out.

[video]

[shifu_sifu]

[OH. Okay then. He nods and straightens up again.]

Then you are wiser than your actions have demonstrated.

[His mouth quirks up in the corner. Perhaps he has earned this.]

I am a red panda.

[Yue has been trying to get the hang of using the consoles. The kedan did their best to show her how to use it, and she's fairly sure she understands it, though so far she's mostly been going through posts people have made rather than making any herself. It doesn't seem like anyone here - other than Asami - is from her world, and she can't quite decide if that's good or bad.

... And then she sees Sokka's face on the screen before it promptly cuts out. Oh, she hopes she's using this correctly.]

Sokka? Sokka! It's Yue!

You were brought here, too? [Her voice is an odd mix of relieved and completely worried.]

[video]

[whoneedsbending]

[He hasn't quite been able to put the lessons to use perfectly yet as he's still just replying in video. His expression is of complete surprise, skepticism and surprise. Oh, we covered that one already? Well it's double the surprised look because last time he actually saw Yue properly, she was in his arms and then she wasn't. And then when she was all floaty.

He wants this to be real and not that he's just fallen asleep and dreaming this up.]

Yue? Is it...[really you? That was such a cliche question.] I- Where are you?

[She was the moon, how could she be here? Talking to him like this? Well if he was dreaming, he didn't want to wake up from it with her maybe actually being here.]

[video]

[lunargoodness]

[Yue takes a moment to try and figure things out before she finally turns on the video function.

And there's Yue, looking concerned and definitely not-floaty.]

I'm here, Sokka. I'm in my suite, in the Water Sector. Where are you?

[The kedan told her something about time being stopped in her world, and that being here didn't necessarily mean someone was dead. Even if she was. Still, she wants to see Sokka in person. To make sure he's okay and also just because.]

[video]

[whoneedsbending]

[Oh god and seeing her there is like a stab to the chest because it hasn't been enough time for him to have totally gotten over what happened. He's pretty sure that he never really will. Not completely anyway. He swallows and Yue can probably here it as he gets to his feet.]

Water Sector as well. 1A.

[He pauses a moment and bends over so he's level with the screen.]

I'll come and find you!

[video]

[lunargoodness]

I'm in 2A, we aren't very far from each other! [At all, really.]

I'll meet you halfway! [And then the video goes off and Yue immediately moves to head out of her suite. If Sokka is here, then she doesn't want to wait to find out if it's really true.]

[Action]

[whoneedsbending]

[With the video off, Sokka commences freak out dance number three. This consists of him jumping up and down making strange noises and motioning to the screen and then hopping from foot to foot before casually stopping and smoothing down his hair and then running to the door. He yanks it open and runs out of it, looking over his shoulder as the door shuts behind him and then along to where he thinks 2-A would be.

In his mind, he's still freaking out. No way! He happened to come to a place like this and Yue was here. Here!]

Yue?

[video]

[stickshift]

[omg more Water Tribe clothing!

THIS IS SUPER EXCI--

did he say Sokka

... given her earlier conversation with Yue, that name actually gives her pause. Okay, so it's sort of trendy and popular but what if she's actually talking to the Sokka?

No. That's ridiculous.

Pull yourself together, Asami!]

So, um. You're from one of the Water Tribes, right?

[Best conversation opener, or best conversation opener?

how are you currently feeling about people who wear Fire Nation colours, Sokka?]

[video] LET ME JUST EDIT THIS

[whoneedsbending]

[Sokka is seeing someone looking at him and there's no talking. No real noise and he's tempted to see if banging the console works. Except her mouth didn't really move so now he's a little confused.

And he shifts uncomfortably. HA HA HIS FEELINGS ALSO AREN'T TOTALLY GREAT. Maybe not all Fire Nationers are bad but...hissssssssss!]

Uh...Yah. Southern.

[Wait...wait she knows! Oh! Oh she knows!

Have an DORKY grin.]

You know about the Tribes?

[video] ROFL omg bb you need sleep

[stickshift]

Yeah! One of my -- [she pauses. She still isn't sure where she and Korra stand, honestly, but it surprises her how naturally she wants to call her one of her best friends.

She never really had those before.]

Um, one of my close friends is from the Water Tribes.

[... no she has to ask the curiosity is killing her.]

You're not... the Sokka, are you? With the boomerang?

[video] HAHA no I just didn't notice the edit in my inbox

[whoneedsbending]

[He's kind of stunned and he guesses that it'll be obvious to the girl on the other side.

The Sokka...with the boomerang...was he famous or something?

He blinks and reaches behind him, freeing the boomerang out of it's sheath. He looks to it and then back to Asami and grins, a little more confident.]

Guess I am, is there a fanclub? I want to be president. And have a badge. Oh! Or a hat!

[video] my html failure is legendary

[stickshift]

[omg boomerang.

no she can't take this it's too much. He's totally one of her idols, okay? AWESOME NON-BENDER DOING AWESOME NON-BENDER THINGS AND WORKING WITH THE AVATAR, AWWH YEAH.

And also not being a jerk. Thanks, dad.]

Well-- not a fanclub, but it is really nice to meet you! I'm Asami.

[video]

[whoneedsbending]

Well, it's a pleasure to meet you Asami, I'm...right you know me already. That's not weird by the way. [It's freakin' awesome! Come Asami, let us go skipping hand and hand, non-benders of the awesome kind and go do some...shopping!]

So you're from home then? Silly question, I'm off my game right now.

[He clears his throat.]

So, where you from?

[video]

[dadissues]

So many of you guys have no idea what you're doing with these computer things...

[video]

[whoneedsbending]

[IT'S OKAY HE FIXED IT! He...got it on and he manages to reply. It's all good, don't call for tech support, that's a waste of time.]

We uh, don't have anything like this back home. At all.

[video]

[dadissues]

Seriously? Did you live in like a mountain monastery or something? [Still kind of operating under the delusion that everyone who is stuck here is from his world.]

[video]

[whoneedsbending]

No, my friend did at one point though. [Wow, the shock should be fun.]

I've kind of traveled the word, uh...before coming here. No where really had this kind of level.

[video]

[dadissues]

Seriously? ...So you really are from a different world, huh.

[video]

[whoneedsbending]

I guess so? It's a little hard to kind of take it all in.
