[Console, whatever. Sure she got the run down on the thing but Mai's pretty much been ignoring it for the past day. She hasn't even bothered to really look on the network itself even if she has no intention of making an entry to it.

Now she's bothering though, mainly because she just wants to ask:]

So explain this war business to me again. Or at least try to convince me why I should care. Because right now? I really can't find much inside to say I should.

Charmed.

Anyone else from your world here?

Well, I can't say I've seen any ostrich horses as far as I remember either.

That'd be my guess honestly, but after all that time the guy's still considered to be a huge threat. That probably means something.

I know that feeling. [Oh the days of his youth - he was a total dreg then.] No one is gonna force you to fight, but just consider it. If it might make the process faster, the chance is worth it.

[manofiron]

I'd go through the "pleasure to meet you" routine, but I'll do you one better. You need anything, come to Stark Industries. I'll hook you up.

[solo_patria]

It rather is, yes.

So...that is why our war effort. Though I do wish we had been asked before it came to being brought here myself.

[orz. she's difficult.]

I'm not, like... trying to give you a hard time here, alright? I promise.

You should take the chance while you are here. Though perhaps gawking would be rude. No one likes to be stared at.

Poorly. [The timing and terseness say it's a joke, but her tone and expression say otherwise.]

A few. General Iroh and Firelord Zuko, if you know either of them anyhow.

[The teen makes a slight amused sound.]

So we both just know a bunch of strange animals then. And what about this place, what's odd here. Beyond the turtles anyhow.

[maipokerface]

[And at that reaction Mai can only sigh.]

That's what I thought.

Re: Video

[maipokerface]

Are they fairly friendly then?

[maipokerface]

[A glance over at the communicator and then the teen sighs, leaning a little to one side.]

I didn't think so. You don't look like the type.

[She's only half serious in that statement.]

[maipokerface]

[At that the woman makes a sound that can only be termed weak amusement, something of a faint laugh.]

Yeah, that would have been my first choice too.

[maipokerface]

Anything. [A beat.] Like what exactly.

[maipokerface]

[The teen starts to open her mouth again... and then she just sighs again, closing it.]

I hate this already.

It stands to reason. He's not won in a thousand years but the other side hasn't exactly beaten him either.

Generally speaking, if a dragon is hostile, one notices quickly.

[solo_patria]

I mean, really. It IS entirely unrealistic somehow, even if they HAVE tried to make us comfortable.

[manofiron]

Tech. Some money until you get yourself settled. A job. Recommendations for shops and restaurants. You know, whatever a person might need when they wake up on a giant turtle.

[goodanswer]

Okay then. And most other people probably aren't, either. [so chillax, girl.]

[here:] My name's Yosuke.

Well, if you don't count lizard-swans, then there are the big, man-eating rodents that live underground. Do those count?

Re: Video

[maipokerface]

[Snort.]

Yeah you've got a point there.

[maipokerface]

Making a person comfortable after the fact is a little ridiculous.
