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.

[It takes a short pause for Korra to realize that Vanessa just may have taken the brunt of some of those things.]

Oh- sorry, I was just. I didn’t know if, um…

[Floundering and she can’t remember anything that might help her get out of possibly looking like an ignorant ass.]

[Vanessa's brow creases as she watches Korra fumble around. She gives her a soft, calming smile.]

If what?

[That helps put her more at ease. It's hard when she's unsure whether someone's going to turn out to be a nice person or not.]

...if anything bad happened to you.

[Her lips purse a bit, and she's not sure if she wants to laugh or just sigh.] It hasn't been so bad here, but I think everyone's had something bad happen before.

[That’s a comfort. A weird sort of comfort that everyone’s gone through something, it’s not just her being singled out for her memory loss.]

But things get better, right?

[A small grin tugs at her lips now as she nods.]

Just hold onto hope, Korra. Things will always get better if you have hope.

It’s one of the few things I have right now, but I will.

[How it’s phrased, the way Vanessa says is, makes it important somehow.]

Thanks, Vanessa.

[It's weird, how much she's grown since she got here, that she can help other people feel better.]

Anytime. It's kind of my thing.
