Hi. My name’s. Korra. I’m the Avatar.

[There’s an awkward pause before she says her name. The cadence in her words is a bit off, a combination of never using the network before (or not that she can recall) and the unknown expectation of who will answer.]

Some of you may know me, I guess?

[Guh, she hates trying to cover it and just tackles the heart of the message.]

Look. I can’t remember anything since I was ghosted. [Or whatever the hell people are calling it.] Not this city, this turtle, or anyone.

But a doctor said that if I just hang around familiar things and people, even scents, then it might help me remember some things. I just, can’t force myself to remember them. So if you recognize me or know something else that could help I’d be grateful.

[They're not even in the same room, and yet when she points at him he leans back as if to avoid her hand.]

You do? Can you airbend?

[alphatar]

Yeah and, yeah! Don’t go anywhere.

[Slamming her hands onto the desk in triumph, Korra is out of that chair and skidding to a stop in her room. Fetching the airbender clothing, she’s right back in her seat. All the hubbub catches Naga’s attention.]

See! [She holds up the yellow and red threads.] If we’re firebenders, then we’re also airbenders, right?

[12goingon113]

[Aang's eyes go wide, and they stay that way. It's been so long since he's seen someone else with those colors.

Not the mock ups worn by the pretenders awaiting transport to Ba Sing Se, but...actual Air Nomad training robes exactly like his. And in a great deal better shape than the ones he's wearing now, which are patched up versions of their former glory thanks to his kedan friends.

He's speechless. Utterly, totally, speechless.]

[alphatar]

[This is the first time she’s touched them. Well, the first time since she forgot everything ever. After giving them a rub with her fingers, she notices Aang being stock still and incredibly quiet.]

Yeah, I know. I’m thinking the same thing.

“What if they don’t fit me.” I’ll go find out.

[With that same energy, she’s off screen and back in her bedroom to change. When she comes back, she’s wearing the full outfit.]

Wow, perfect fit. [They had to be tailor made, the quality is too good otherwise.]

It feels real- [She visibly searches for the word, her eyes darting around as if it’s hiding somewhere in the room.]

free.

[12goingon113]

[Eventually he manages to string some words together.]

No one's worn those in over a hundred years. Well, no one but me. If you have them, it means you're in training, but haven't mastered air yet.

[alphatar]

[Her brow furrows and she sits down again.]

That’s- wow, that’s a long time. [Now she can’t help but wonder who made her the clothes.] I guess I should start practicing it.

…again?

[12goingon113]

[He tries to keep eye contact with her, but his attention keeps getting pulled back to the robes.]

Might not be a bad idea. I...I could help, if...if you wanted.

[Someone to practice airbending with...
Aang allows himself to hope.]

[alphatar]

[Her eyes are up here Aang, GOSH.]

Sure! Right now I need all the help I need, and since bending's the only thing I can remember, maybe doing more of it will help with other things.

[Talking with Aang gave one memory and small and insignificant as it was, it was still progress.]

[12goingon113]

Maybe. Though...if nothing else? I can at least show you how to play Airball.

[alphatar]

Something other than trying to figure out everything, and I get to use the one thing I can remember? Sign me up!

[12goingon113]

Um...okay! When are you thinking? And...where?

[alphatar]

Any time's a good time I guess. [Work is pretty non-existent since regaining her memories take some precedence.]

As for where, I don't know. How much space do you need to play Airball?

[12goingon113]

I remember them being pretty big.

[Aang thinks long and hard about this, which means his forehead furrows and his tongue sticks ever-so-slightly out of his mouth.]

We only ever really played at the Temples, and the court was always just kind of there. Maybe...seventy by...thirty or forty?

[alphatar]

Well, I can always see if Naga knows of a place like that. [That wonderful polar bear dog is something Korra appreciates so much, even if the animal frightened her at first.]

You can tell me how to play on the way.

[12goingon113]

Okay, sure! That sounds like a good...wait...where are you now, and who...who's Naga?

[alphatar]

I'm at my suite, it's at- [A quick squint at a written note off screen.] ME-2B.

She’s my- or rather she’s a po-

[Did she always have to try and explain that she had a giant polar bear dog?]

You’ll see her when we go.

[12goingon113]

Oooookay. ME-2b. That's the Metal Sector, right?

[Aang leans out of the screen and reaches for the welcome package that his kedan friends made for him.]

Because I'm in Earth right now...

[alphatar]

Yeah, someone told me it was.

[Couldn't even remember sectors before she made this post.]

Come by whenever you want! We'll be here.
