VIDEO 001 -- Incredulity

[The video turns on, and Sokka looks at it with a moment's hesitation before actually speaking. He picked this up at the Visitor Center quickly, but that things like this could even exist still just were unthinkable. There's a bit of amusement playing at the corners of his lips and he stares on without speaking, followed by an eventual shake of the head. Disbelief is plastered all across his face.]

Okay, so let's set the record straight. I've been magically transported to some other world? That's... actually weirdly possible, even if that whole time-stopping thing doesn't sound right. I'll give them that one. Turtles that are the size of an entire city... I think I can wrap my head around. This emperor guy and that—

[There's a moment's hesitation, as if he were just about to actually voice Malicant's name aloud, but he thinks twice at the last minute.]

—other guy; I suppose that's fine too. Big metal city? I'm not sure the style fits me, but I know people who can bend metal, so okay. Weird spirit soul lantern things? [He pauses now, holding a finger to his chin.] I don't claim to be an expert at that spiritual stuff, but that's more than a little creepy if you ask me. But fine, I'll let that one go.

[But Sokka starts chuckling a little ruefully. Sure, all of these strange things are possible, but the probability is... well, he hasn't calculated it, but it can't be large. All of this story just sounds ridiculous to him.]

But a magical communication device that instantly conveys my thoughts across the entire city? That's where I draw the line. How can that possibly work? How can my picture get sent everywhere all at once? C'mon, that just violates every notion of common sense ever! It's ridiculous!

I mean, I guess if this thing were actually real, I should say something like [as he puts on a false air of sophistication for the introduction], "Hey everyone, I'm Sokka. Good to meet you!" But that's not going to happen, and I'm going to feel silly talking to myself. Yeah, this is going to be a dream, and I'm going to wake up any second. [Pause.] Aaaaaany second now. [Beat.] Juuuust wait for it. Right now... now... please, karma?

Sokka?!

[If the voice he's hearing now is actually the voice of Karma, then Sokka might be in a bit more trouble than he's ever imagined possible.

The video springs to life and Aang's face is...well it's way too close to the camera is what it is. Right off the bat he looks tired, and there's a day or so's growth of hair on his head. Someone's been having a rough go of things as of late.]


SOKKA!!!
12goingon113: (Excite!)

[personal profile] 12goingon113 2014-09-27 06:19 pm (UTC)(link)
[His grin doesn't diminish in the slightest, nor does what he say next have even the slightest hint of sarcasm. He's too happy to see Sokka to care about what Sokka is actually saying about him.]

It's great to see you too!
12goingon113: (Ack)

[personal profile] 12goingon113 2014-09-27 06:32 pm (UTC)(link)
[Strike one blew right past him.
This strike two...not so much.
Aang's smile falls just a little bit as Sokka's words finally start to actually find purchase.]


No...not exactly it..it's complicated. Where are you?
12goingon113: (Riiiight)

[personal profile] 12goingon113 2014-09-27 06:52 pm (UTC)(link)
[Strike three.
Aang now just straight up winces.]


You really shouldn't say things like that out loud, Sokka. Because...you don't even know the half of it. Jin Gai? That's Metal Sector isn't it?

[His face screws up in thought as he tries to figure out which would be the fastest way to get from where he is in Wood to Metal.

Flying?
or
Rollerblades.

A master airbender on Rollerblades is a mighty fast thing indeed.]


I'll be right there.

[He disappears from the feed at top speed.]

[Younger, no beard; but that's definitely Sokka. Korra waits a moment before turning on her feed; take in the former Chief of the Southern Water Tribe and the fact that this boy fought alongside her father.

Then she flicks on the feed.]


Close, but it's Korra. Not Karma. [She grins.] That's just one part of the city, wait until you see the other sectors.
alphatar: (Pointing admit it)

Re: Video

[personal profile] alphatar 2014-09-28 08:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Close. [Not even close.]

You're in the Metal Sector, like me, but the others are pretty easy to figure out. The Wood Sector has tons of trees, even the houses there are in trees. The Earth Sector has a lot of sculptures and most of the buildings are made out of stone and rock. The Water Sector is filled with canals, but it's the poorest sector and it's kind of hard to not notice when you walk around. The Fire Sector has fire fountains that don't actually burn and it's where the wealthy people live.

[She points at him.]

Well, the ones that aren't living in Metal anyway. But there's your crash course in Keeliai proper, from one Water Triber to another.
alphatar: (Confident self assured)

[personal profile] alphatar 2014-09-28 10:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Guilty as charged. But it's not exactly the same. There's no ice and snow in Water until winter comes around. Unless you count waterbenders or a spirit of winter.

[But she's glad he paid attention to the kedan's explanation.]

The turtle-turtle is called Tu-Vishan, he talks to us in dreams sometimes. The smaller ones are his nieces and nephews, I'm taking care of one. So it's not quite home, but there's a lot of similar stuff around.

[Pause for dramatic effect.]

Like sea prunes.

Have you heard from him yet?
raavashing: (smile: of the mess that we made)

[personal profile] raavashing 2014-09-28 02:26 am (UTC)(link)
Well, he brought you up in a couple of stories he's told to the children in the hospital. I think most of it's been good. Lots of boomerang stuff.

[Wan's smile brightened.]

I'm glad he's on his way! He'll be able to show you around and make getting used to this place easier.

[A pause.]

I'm Wan.
raavashing: (smile: Til I see you again)

You should visit the welcome center. Jack Frost, the Spirit of Winter, runs it. He'll be able to help you learn what you need to. Just be respectful. He's a very powerful spirit.
