--this? I just--

Oh, um--I think it's working.

[Korra really has no idea what she's supposed to be doing with this thing. Sure, Republic City was a pretty up-to-date place but this was a new little device. Really new.

Have an awkward smile though and a slight wave as she tries to keep herself composed.]

My name's Korra and I'm not..really sure where I am or how I got here. I'm looking for my friends though--Bolin, Mako, and Asami. I...if you guys are here too, let me know? Or come find me.

[The weak attempt at a smile doesn't work anymore and she looks around, peering at something out of sight of the camera, an odd look on her face after a second. She then turns some and a Hebby Repp can be seen.]

And could anyone tell me what this weird...thing is that's following me? I don't think it's a spirit but I'm not really sure at this point.

[seasaltkeys]

I don't think anyone knows how we got here.

Bolin was here...but I don't think he is anymore. I haven't seen him around.

[They were sort of friends, so Roxas misses him.]

[tametheelements]

Wait Bolin was here?

[So that meant maybe the others could be as well right?

But...this guy hadn't seen him around...]

Hold on. No one knows how we got here? How is that even possible? There has to be some sort of explanation.

[seasaltkeys]

Yeah, he was. We sort of hung out.

[Not as much as Roxas would have liked. He wanted to see more Earth bending.]

There probably is, but the people who have it aren't giving it up, and the moogles aren't helping. We're kinda stuck. Dreaming.

[sailorgenerous]

Oh, so you're Korra! Bolin told me quite a bit about you while he was here. He woke up a good while ago, though I believe there is somepony else from your world - a Chief Beifong, if you know her?

Oh- where are my manners? My name is Rarity, and it's lovely to finally be able to meet one of Bolin's friends. If you need anything, do let me know - I would be more than happy to show you around.

[Yes, that is a purple and white unicorn. Yes, this is a completely normal occurrence for her. And yes, she really is that pleased to meet a friend of Bolin's.]

Oh, and the lizard is a Hebby Repp - they're a type of Spirit. That one in particular will be very loyal to you while you're here. Watch out for the Nightmares, though - they can be dangerous.

[tametheelements]

[Everything Rarity is saying is probably pretty important but Korra really can't get over the fact that she's staring at a weird talking horse creature. With a horn.

It..well...maybe this Rarity thing is a spirit too? The ones she saw in Wan's memories had been pretty interesting looking.

Oh. Right.

She should probably do that talking thing shouldn't she?]

So..you knew Bolin too, huh? Is he really not hear anymo--

Wait. Cheif Beifong is here?!

[That was a bit unexpected.]

[sailorgenerous]

[Ah, yes, the staring. She'd become so accustomed to interacting with humans that she'd quite forgotten that talking ponies simply didn't exist in their worlds. Still, she remains polite and smiling.]

Oh, you do know Chief Beifong! Yes, I believe she might be staying at the hotel. I would be more than happy to take you there if you like.

[letteropener]

Welcome to the world of dreams. I'm afraid your friends are no longer here. [Celestia is, quite briefly, sad. She'd liked Bolin.]

I believe he mentioned you as being on his bending team?

[tametheelements]

[And..another talking horse.]

So they were all here?

[There's a note of sadness there because if they aren't here, where are they?]

Yeah--yes, I'm a bender. I'm the Avatar actually.

[letteropener]

[A talking horse with a horn and wings, if she cares to look closely enough. They're just visible in their spread display state.]

Bolin and Asami were. He told me a great deal about your world, and even a little bit about the Avatar. I hope that doesn't bother you, but I found it very fascinating.

[lessabrasive]

[ There's a faint green energy visible at the edges of the communicator screen as it is held at face level: a dark grey unicorn, with a lighter grey mane streaked lightly and three oddly familiar scar lines down the right cheek can be seen. Her green eyes go wide with shock. ]

Korra?

[ Something 'hoots' from behind her; Lin pays her owl spirit no heed. ]

Where are you!

[tametheelements]

[It takes her a minute--a long minute--to realize just what she's looking at and it's probably a good thing that Celestia had mentioned the whole 'changing into apony' thing.]





Chief Beifong?

[trademark_skull]

...Bolin sounds familiar.

[tametheelements]

I keep hearing that he was apparently here not too long ago...

[the_mechanic]

[Tony actively avoids the noobs, it's nothing personal, except when it is, but at the mention of Asami, he decides to give the new girl a shot. Or at least not be a total ass.

His smile is trying for apologetic, and he rubs the back of his head while he's talking; he looks a little disheveled and a little sleep deprived, but is just a little cleaner than your average hobo.]

You're asleep, we don't know how we got here or how to wake up, etcetera, etcetera. [a dismissive hand wave] Seriously, don't lose sleep over it.

That thing is a "Dream Eater" and it is codependent and clingy and you will not be able to shake it, so make friends. It'll come in handy.

[tametheelements]

[You're very different than anyone Korra has crossed paths with in the past, Tony.]

How can I sleep if I'm already asleep?

[She frowns a bit, glancing at the odd lizard thing again.]

Handy? How so? What do I do with it exactly?

[video]

[raisethemoon]

...oh, yes. Bolin spake of thee. [And then Luna just looks sad. Forgive her, she's having a bit of a rough time lately.]

[video]

[tametheelements]

[Korra smiles a bit weakly though it's hard to even manage that because she can't help but be a little bit concerned for this sad looking pony.]

I wish he was still here....



Are you okay?

[colorbymemory]

Hello, Korra. My name is Namine.

I think the others have answered most of your questions already, but if there's any way I can help...

[tametheelements]

Hi Namine. I'd say it was a pleasure to meet you but I'm still not really sure it's a pleasure to be in this place just yet.

[And there's a weak smile to go with the statement.]

I...I don't know, honestly. This place is really confusing and I haven't even been here that long.

[eternalfrolicbond]

Hey, Korra, nice to meet you. I'm Lea.

A couple of your friends were here, but I haven't seen 'em lately. They probably woke up.

[tametheelements]

Nice to meet you too, I guess.

[Even if the circumstances are weird and confusing.]

Woke up? What does that mean? I thought there wasn't any way to leave this place.

sorry I'm late, having some trouble with this game ;;;

[punsofiron]

Bolin? The name sounds familiar, I think he was around for a while before.

Oh no worries! <3<3

[tametheelements]

Yeah that's..what I keep hearing.

[She sighs.

If only he was still here.]

[dork_of_keys]

[Sora can sympathize with suddenly ending up someplace strange with no friends around. It's not fun, but thankfully, everyone present is pretty nice.]

This is the realm of dreams or the realm of sleep. Either one works. And... Bolin and Asami were both here for a while. I haven't seen either of them in a while, so they probably woke up.

[And the question of the Spirit comes up.]

That's a Dream Eater. The friendly ones are called Spirits and the hostile ones are Nightmares.

Oh, and I'm Sora. It's nice to meet you.

[tametheelements]

...Just my luck that two of my best friends would disappear--er, wake up--before I got here.

[Because at least having them here would have made her feel a bit more comfortable. At least Lin was here; that was better than nothing.]

Yeah I heard about the Nightmares. Not looking forward to meeting those, to be completely honest.

[Korra smiles, though it's a bit weak as she rubs the back of her neck.]

Nice to meet you too.
