[His arrival had been rough and disorienting, but now that he's had a few days to recover, Zuko decides to introduce himself to the community at large.

The feed starts with a confused looking teenager with a big scar on the side of his face. He's staring for a moment before he speaks.]

Is this thing even working?

[He fiddles with it some more before he decides that yes, it is working.]

Uh, hello. Zuko here. I'm new and uh... I guess you guys already know that.

[He fidgets a little. There's also a look about him like he's definitely uneasy about something.]

So... I guess I will be here for awhile.

[Duh. Why is he so bad at this?]

Zatanna.

And you're on the right track, at least. The Network here, and the Welcome Center, are the two best places to go for answers. Though you can also just walk around outside and see for yourself.

I was told to rest for a few days, so I haven't gotten out much.

[Yet anyway.]

video

[backwordscompatible]

Who told you that?

[Waking up in a place like this could be a little disjarring, sure, but she would have figured a few hours' would be more than enough.]

Were you sick or something?

video

[lordhotman]

Korra, and that doctor at the hospital.

I was injured.

[backwordscompatible]

[Milyn, most likely. Though the stronger hint of recognition in her expression came at Korra's name.]

I guess Korra would be the resident expert on that much.

I hope you're feeling better now.

video

[lordhotman]

I am. Thanks.

[Somewhat anyway. It'll be awhile before he's at 100% again.]

video

[backwordscompatible]

Good. It sucks having to get used to this place when you're healthy, let alone while you're nursing an injury on top of it.

video

[lordhotman]

Yeah it's... different.

[And it will take him a while to get use to it no doubt.]

[backwordscompatible]

Let me guess: they don't exactly have giant Turtles where you're from?

[She could relate to that part.]

video

[lordhotman]

I've heard of lion turtles but I don't think there are any more.

Re: video

[backwordscompatible]

[...lion...turtles?]

[Wait.]

You're from Korra's world, aren't you?

video

[lordhotman]

Yeah, but I don't really know her.

[She is definitely a water tribe girl.]

video

[backwordscompatible]

[That made sense. Worlds were pretty big, after all.]

Even so. It always helps to have something a little familiar in a place like this.

video

[lordhotman]

I guess so.

[In other words he really is glad for it. Coming here without knowing anyone would be a lot more difficult.]

video

[backwordscompatible]

Are you two at least getting along?

video

[lordhotman]

I guess. I do owe her for saving me, but... she lied to me too.

video

[backwordscompatible]

[Korra, lie? That' didn't sound like her.]

What'd she say?

video

[lordhotman]

She was making me think I was still home when I wasn't. She didn't tell me the truth.

[He's got a bone to pick with her about that.]

video

[backwordscompatible]

[...okay, not exactly what she had been expecting. Then again, Zatanna wasn't sure what she was expecting.]

She actually said that? That you were still wherever you two come from?

Or did she just let you assume until you were ready to hear the truth?

video

[lordhotman]

Not outright. I was asking where we were and it was only half true.

It's not like it matters if I was ready or not. The Kedan told me right after. I don't get why she couldn't have told me herself.

video

[backwordscompatible]

Like I said. Maybe she wasn't sure if you were ready?

It can be pretty jarring when you first show up. And you didn't have to get fished out of the ocean.

video

[lordhotman]

How can you be ready for something like this at all!

...

Fished out of the ocean?

video

[backwordscompatible]

It's more or less what it sounds like.
