--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. ]

Hey, you got it. [ York gives her a crooked smile, shrugging. ]

Far as suggestions go, just taking it a day at a time seems to be the easiest.

video

[allbend]

Hah! So it is a phone, then? [ That's what you mean, right, York? Right? :D ]

So just... take my time to get to know the place, you mean?

video

[agentdork]

Well-- sort of. Kind of.

[ ...vaguely. ]

That, and get some friends- easier if you know people, y'know?

video

[allbend]

... It is and it isn't?

[ technology what do ]

Oh, yeah, definitely! I know one of them is here - her name's Asami, by the way. So what's your name?

video

[agentdork]

It can be used like one, but it isn't portable, really.

[ Asami-- the name rings a bell, so at least the kid knows someone here. ]

I'm York. Nice t'meet you.

video

[allbend]

It'd be useful if they were, huh?

[ Grin grin. ]

York, then. How long have you been here on this island?

video

[agentdork]

Yeah, seriously, but at least we have something.

Not too long-- few weeks mostly. It's been-- interesting, to say the least.

video

[allbend]

And what makes you say that? What's living here been like, anyway?

video

[agentdork]

...It's boring. Nothing much goes on here, but it's not bad if you came from a place where too much happens.

video

[allbend]

You kidding? Things were definitely happening before I was whisked away to here!

video

[agentdork]

Well, then, think of it as a break?

video

[allbend]

I... wouldn't be sure on that. When I said that they were "happening," it was something pretty urgent. Civil war just broke out in the city I was supposed to defend!

video

[agentdork]

[ Ahhh, shit. :( He cringes. ]

I'm sorry. Hopefully you and all the rest of us find a way back.

video

[allbend]

Thanks-- it's just... I hate feeling like I abandoned them, you know? Even if we really can't control leaving or entering this place...

video

[agentdork]

I'm sure everyone knows you didn't do that. It's not that simple.

video

[allbend]

I'm starting to get that hardly anything ever is these days. [ Sighing so hard. ]

video

[agentdork]

Hey, chin up, kiddo. It could always be worse.

video

[allbend]

"Kiddo"? [ Getting a dubious eyebrow raise, York. Sure, Lin called her "kid," but in her case? That makes sense. ] And... yeah. There's always that. With one of my friends here, I'd say I lucked out somehow.

video

[agentdork]

What?

[ He raises his eyebrows at that. ]

Until you hit your twenties, I think kiddo is pretty accurate when you're talking to an old guy like me. [ He's mostly kidding-- he's not that old, not really. ] But 's good you got friends here, that's true.

video

[allbend]

Hey, I was actually thinking you were pretty young looking! You don't look that old, pal. [ Huff puff, obviously the teasing sort of flew past her head. But then she shrugs. ]

But, if you're gonna be that way, I'll say "thanks, old man." [ Or maybe she actually did! ]

> Tell him he's not old > INSTANTLY FAVORITE PERSON

[agentdork]

[ York can't stop the shit-eating grin at that, laughing openly. ] Points for the flatt--


Ohhhh, and they're gone. [ ice burn on him there, Korra. ]

he set himself up for that. ACCEPT IT, YORK

[allbend]

You say "kiddo," I say "old man." That makes us pretty even on the scoring.

[ You get your own shit-eating grin here. ]

SOB

[agentdork]

[ He's still grinning, at least. ]

Seems fair enough.

at least it'll lead to a beautiful friendship? :D

[allbend]

[ She chuckles at that. At least she's getting more comfortable now than she was several minutes ago! ]

So... got any friends of your own in this island?

INDEED B)

[agentdork]

Nah, none from where I'm from. Not sure if it's good or bad, yet. Made some friends here, though.
