--oh, shoot. Just how do I work this contraption? I knew I should've asked for specific directions... Is it a phone? Or... something... huh?

[ The feed opens up to one confused looking Avatar with a hand paused mid-scratch at the side of her head. Blink blink. She straightens and attempts to clear her throat a bit, but even doing that does nothing to remove the slightly confused frown on her face. ]

So... Keeliai. [ how does i start conversation to people she isn't even sure she might be speaking to ] It's... a nice looking place, I guess. I have so many questions, but I think I should start off with...

What next? I mean, if anyone's got any helpful suggestions on how to deal with this place, I'd be all for it. Really!

[ Pause. ]

Uh-- oh, right! The name's Korra. It's nice to meet... whoever'll be answering this message. I hope. Ugh.

[ She's making a fool of herself, she knows it. ]

Uh, no? You sound like one of my teachers, Tenzin, in fact. Except he actually did more of the eating and breathing, as well as the meditating. Think you'd two would get along.

[ Grin grin. ]

[shifu_sifu]

And what does he teach you?

[Sarcasm?]

[allbend]

[ Totally flies over her head. ] He's teaching me how to be patient and how to airbend-- er, that is, teaching me how to move the air itself, since I'm supposed to learn that sort of thing.

[ Finally getting that most people might not know what the hell she's even talking about unless she elaborates. ]

[Bending. The sarcasm lessens.]

You are one of these bending masters?

[allbend]

Uh... I guess you could say that? I've already mastered water, earth, and firebending. Airbending's the only thing I need to nail down before I complete my training.

[Multiple forms of this strange bending technique, hm. Shifu has heard of this.]

So you are, ah, this Avatar I have heard stories of? You seem quite... [UM. Cough.] Young.

[allbend]

[ Arching a brow at that reaction. ]

Yeah, and? The previous Aang was a few years younger than I was when he saved the world with his friends! Once you're born the Avatar, you just... are the Avatar!

[shifu_sifu]

Yet, you require training by this Master Tenzin?

[OH-HO, WHAT WAS THAT?]

[allbend]

[ She blinks. She... doesn't get what he's trying to imply with that because she didn't have any problem mentioning that earlier. ]

well, yeah. He's the only airbending master left. That's how it was for the previous Avatars, too; there was a master around to properly teach them the different bending arts.

This is... strange. [He mutters it more to himself.] I had assumed it a role of a master of masters, not that of a pup.

[Or a panda. OH, GOD. KORRA IS PO, THE DRAGON WARRIOR?]

[allbend]

A "pup"? Are there seriously no humans where you're from, little guy?

[shifu_sifu]

[That draws Shifu out of his thoughts and he frowns.]

Of course not. These hairless apes that you call hoo-mans are impossible in China.

[Seriously. The idea seems ludicrous to him. No fur! One would freeze in a heartbeat.]

[allbend]

Then... for the record? I've never heard of this "China," either. [ Pause, thinks on that. ] I... guess that really shows we're both from different worlds, then?
