Revenance Communicators

[Bolin is sitting with Ping in his lap. He looks thoughtful but also excited about something.]

So, you know, some of us have been here a pretty long time and it's occurred to me recently that in that time we haven't really had any fun. I mean, sure, the Struggle Tournament was a blast and we've done some fun stuff in small groups, but, I guess what I'm saying is that we should have some kind of party. I mean, look at all the new people that have come here since then and we haven't had any kind of party to celebrate that...and I bet some of us have had birthdays since getting here.

[Pause.]

Although do dream birthdays count?

[He thinks on that for a moment then just shrugs.]

Right...so I'm thinking we all meet in Twilight Town and set up an outdoor party later this week. We'll need food and music and maybe some games or something. And, those of you who have businesses can even get some advertisements going. It'll be great, almost like the street festivals we used to have in Republic City.

[Bolin is sitting in the Sandlot. There's Struggle gear around him and it looks like he just got down with practicing or something. Kyoshi is flopped on her back and snoring behind him and he's using her massive form as a pillow. Ping is curled up on top of Kyoshi, also sleeping.

Bolin digs into a bag beside him and is pulling out some Shield Cookies. You would think he would be feeding them to his Dream Eaters but, no, Bolin takes a bite out of it himself like he does this all the time. After he swallows he begins talking.]

Okay, so, two things. [Bolin frowns and then shakes his head.] Make that three.

First off, who else is signing up for that Struggle tournament? I know I'm not the best at Struggle yet but I couldn't resist joining up for it. Who knows, maybe I'll get lucky! Plus, the stuff I've learned from Roxas has REALLY paid off.

[He looks determined to win though, even if the odds are against him. Bolin then shifts gears, finishing the cookie.]

Secondly, I've decided to start making clothes and selling them for Dream Eaters. I used to make costumes for Pabu back home all the time and I figure it can't be much harder to make things like vests and hats and other accessories for people's Spirits. Let me know if you guys are interested. Although, if you have something other than a Kooma Panda, Hebby Repp, or Meow Wow I might need to see your spirit to get the measurements first.

[He ponders and taps his chin.] Maybe I'll set up a shop here in Twilight Town or at least a stall.

[Bolin shakes his head and then reaches back into his gym bag. He pulls out another cookie. He holds it up and Meow Wow wakes up long enough to grab it with his mouth and then curl back up, back to the camera]

The last thing. I was wondering if anyone was missing a picture. I found this while I was training. Sorry it's a little crumpled but Kyoshi stepped on it before I noticed it.

[He pulls a photo from his bag now and shows it. While it is very crumpled, the picture is still easy to make out. The picture is of Sora and he’s sitting on the steps in the First District in Traverse Town, chatting with Namine. Jelly Bean is sitting next to Sora, while Batty flutters above their heads. He flips it over and looks at both sides]

There's nothing else on it. But I figure it has to belong to someone and maybe they lost it while they were here practicing for the Struggle tournament. Sora? Namine? It's not yours is it? I hope Kyoshi didn't mess it up too badly.

[Bolin shrugs and puts the photo away. He replaces it with a bar of Block-It Chocolate, breaking it in half. He nudges Kyoshi's belly and she wakes up and takes a piece. Bolin pops the rest in his mouth.]

Just let me know. I'll probably ask around Twilight Town later, see if anyone there is missing a photo.

[Bolin is grinning from ear to ear. He looks ENTIRELY too pleased with himself.]

Everyone. I'd like you to meet Mako Jr.

[Bolin turns the communicator to point at a Hebby Repp that is apparently Mako Jr. Said Hebby Repp bounces a few times and flips in the air, clearly excited to be here. One might also notice that the Hebby Repp is wearing a red scarf, tied around it's neck. Bolin, off screen continues.]

I made the scarf myself. I couldn't very well name him Mako Jr. if he didn't have a scarf. The only problem is trying to keep it on him and --

[Suddenly Mako Jr. coughs up some fire and the scarf starts to sizzle, quickly catching on fire.]

Ack! No! Bad Mako Jr! Don't set the scarf on fire I worked too hard on that!

[There's some flailing as the communicator is moved and Bolin is rushing over to put the flames out. He gets it out quickly enough and sighs, sitting back. He forgets the communicator for a moment, focused more on Mako Jr.]

We're going to have to work on your aim. We can't have you setting the scarf on fire every time you fight.

[Mako Jr. looks downcast, kicking one of its feet. Clearly it is sad to have disappointed Bolin. Bolin realizes this and quickly waves his hands, trying to placate the creature.]

Hey, hey. It's okay. We'll work on it.

[Mako Jr. squeaks happily and in a split second has slithered around Bolin's neck, curled up and draped happily over his shoulders. It nuzzles his face.]

Yeah, I love you too buddy.

[There's a large finger poking at the wrist watch, connected to it is a boy who looks about 16. He stops after a few minutes and just tilts his head to the side. He has large green eyes and his thick eyebrows are furrowed in confusion] Okay I think I get the gist of all this based on what that moogle thing told me...but I still have to say it's pretty weird. Not to mention I still have a few questions and the moogle started getting a bit pushy after awhile.

So, I guess for starters...my name's Bolin and I'm new. [Awkward smile. Yeah, that aws obvious, wasn't it?] If anyone has seen a grumpy looking guy wearing a red scarf named Mako or a girl with a ponytail named Korra let me know. Although, I guess if they are here they'll hear this, right? I haven't seen Pabu either...but I'm sure he's okay if I really am just asleep. He's probably still just curled up asleep too.

[Pause in thought, Bolin glances down.]

Speaking of which...I guess I should think of a name for this little guy, huh? [Bolin aims his wrist down at a ball of blue fur that is anything but little and curled up at his feet and snuggled close. Apparently Bolin has a lazy Meow Wow for his companion and first dream eater Spirit.]

Ping maybe?

[He pokes the Meow Wow with his foot and the creature purrs and twitches contentedly]

Right...so, uh, anything else I should know? This is one of those where do I even start kind of things.

[He looks a little awkward just sitting there with a sleeping Meow Wow. Care to help a fella out?]
