One = [Video->Audio->Text]

[moelin]

[The SFC clicks as always, but this time the feed is different! It's... upsidedown and has two very confused teenagers looking right at it. The boy looks really determined to figure out what the heck this thing is. With a cocked brow, he holds it up above them for a lovely aerial view.]

... Do you think that did anything?

[The view is surely only improved when one brown fingertip reaches up to poke at the screen.]

Look, that part changed. Is it glowing? It looks lit up.

Hey, it did! Well, that's something different.

[He pulls it back down again to see the light, tilting his head. Shifting his hold into one hand, he also pokes the screen thinking that'll do a difference.]

I just wish those people would have told us what this thing is, or what it's doing right now.

[Once the fingers are out of the way, the girl crosses her arms, frowning at the device.]

I get the feeling there's going to be a lot of things here we don't understand. First the dome, then that coral, now this. We still don't even know how we're here.

[He joins her with that frown, looking over to her.]

Maybe someone knows, someone that... actually knows I mean.

[And then the feed changes directions as he turns it around again. At least they're on the right side this time.]

They couldn't have given us this star thing without a reason, right? And it's doing something? Just... Hm...

[The boy then proceeds to play with it again, and the feed turns off, and then back on... but he really didn't even notice that happening.]

[Korra raises a brow at his less-than-eloquent wording, but soon resumes a thoughtful expression.]

I would hope not. Maybe if we just keep fiddling with it--

[She joins the prodding, managing it to flip it over to audio for a "hmm", then text.]

jkl;

[And when she does that, Bolin's eyes go to the screen to the text she just typed.]

Huh. Well, that's... that's new.

[Then they go to the word 'post'... wait. Wait a moment. His face perks up a little bit, because oh man, he's pretty sure he's figured out what this thing is. Or at least what it might be able to do.]

Hey Korra... Maybe this is something we can use to find the answers to our questions?

[At that, Korra actually grins.]

Then let's ask!

[And after a few moments, the following questions appear.]

hi there, my name's bolin, and my friend's name is korra. we're just a little bit confused right now and we have a couple of questions if whoever out there could answer?
first off if anyone knows us could you give us a shout that you're here? mako? asami? uh... anyone? we're pretty worried right now about you guys!
has anyone seen a polar bear dog named naga? she's probably easy to spot, unless this place also has other polar bear dogs.
and last but not least where are we anyways? the people we talked to didn't actually give us much information.

[OOC: I few things to note! Korra is speaking in blue, Bolin's in green, of course. To the question regarding Naga, the answer is: No, she's isn't here.
And as always, since these two are coming from the last episode of the season, Be cautious, because there could possibly be spoilers in the threads]

[Sob why are you people making him type.]

hi im link! i dont know mako or asami or what a polar bear dog is sorry.

your in a place called Vatheon. its a diffrent world!! its okay most people here are really nice

[waterkorrant]

[Hey, back where she's from, this kind of technology doesn't even exist. Consequently her typing is a bit slow.]

hi! this is korra by the way. but a whole different world? really? i guess that explains things but i never imagined something like this.

a polar bear dog is this big white animal. she's got floppy ears and a long tail, and she's a bit taller than me at the shoulder and even longer, big enough to ride on. you can't miss her if she's anywhere nearby.

[Text]

[moelin]

[Well you don't have to type, gosh~

and mimicking Korra's speed, Bo gets in a reply after.]

a different world? you're kidding! even though it really does make sense. i've never seen anything like this where i come from! is there any way we can go back?

and korra pretty much gave the best explanation for naga, so i won't add anything more to that.

[imaginarytides]

The natives are never very forthcoming, but there should be a welcoming committe booth nearby where you can find some information. This city is called Vatheon.

Other than that, I can't answer much. What do polar bear dogs look like? I could keep an eye out.

[waterkorrant]

they were so FRUSTRATING! they could have at least told me a little bit but all i got was stuff about that coral which didn't help at all. but i'll look for the booth and see what they can tell us, so thanks.

they're big and white and furry, with floppy ears and a long tail. naga's almost taller than me at the shoulder and pretty long too, big enough to ride on. she's the only one i know of that's ever been tamed so if you find one it should be her.

[moelin]

they really aren't! you'd think that they'd at least be a little bit more helpful than that. at least there is the booth, thanks for telling us that, we appreciate it.

[Video]

[coolerthansora]

[Since no one seems to have broken this news to them yet...]

Um, it actually does video, too. That way you don't have to type.

And there should be a list of people who're here so you can look for your friends.

[text] (1/2)

[waterkorrant]

woah

[That's a picture on the screen! One that's moving! This is somewhat amazing.]

i've never heard of video before but let me see if i can make it do the... whatever it is.

[voice] (2/2)

[waterkorrant]

[Some smashing at buttons and hoping--and it switches over to audio mode. The text input is gone, so that has to be right. Isn't it?]

Can you see me now?

[Video]

[moelin]

[Bo was pretty much watching the entire time, so he figured it out pretty quickly once Korra got to it.]

Great, because I like talking more than that.

So... where'd you say that list is?

[messianic]

It's nice to meet you, Bolin, Korra. I'm Minato.

I'm sorry, I haven't seen a polar bear. But this is Vatheon. If you have any other questions, I can answer them. Or at least tell you where to get some towels.

text;

[waterkorrant]

nice to meet you, minato.

polar bear dog, not polar bear. though i've never heard of just a polar bear. did you forget the word or something?

also we found some towels already, but thanks. hmm... do you have any idea how we got here in the first place?

text;

[moelin]

nice to meet you!

we found the towels already, but i'm kind of wondering about the coral. the natives didn't tell us that much about it, and i was wondering if anyone knew more about it?

[video]

[vulgarwoman]

[...Well aren't these some little lost lambs.]

Hey, kids, the little light thing that you were looking into? That's a camera. It's broadcasting your appearance and conversation for all of us.

And I haven't seen any sort of...polar bear dog, sorry.

[video] gonna say this is after she figured out how video works

[waterkorrant]

[Sorry, what? She's kind of staring right now.]

How... how is your hair blue?

[video]

[moelin]

I knew this thing was gonna be somethin' like that.

[Wait.]

How did you get your hair blue?

i'm sorry, i'm guessing you're trying to help but...

i don't understand what you're saying.

[moelin]

what are you saying?

video;

[pinksugarprincess]

Hello! Do we have to write? I don't like writing a bunch.

video;

[waterkorrant]

There's pink hair too?

[Short answer: no, we they don't have to.]

video;

[moelin]

No we don't... [Why are people's hair colors different.]

Where are all of these colors coming from?

[video cuz too cool for text]

[elementofchange]

[By now, he's more or less gotten a better rundown of the weird starfish things other than what he had figured out on his own. Huddled up in a room of the nicest hotel he can find- he may have lost his bending but he hasn't lost his standards- he flips through the channels.]

[There's no doubt more important things he could be doing, like learning more about where he is, but he just... can't muster up the energy to do so.]

[However, when he sees those two familiar faces on the screen, he actually bolts upright, startling the Espeon that's on his lap- weird purple fox-cat won't stop following him around. Quickly, he fiddles with the SFC for a reply. He tries to look cool and relaxed, but there's no hiding the surprise or how he still hasn't really taken care of himself like he used to.]

Look what the Cat Owl dragged in.

[He knows his name isn't on that list of theirs and he didn't expect it to be. Still... They do know each other, even if it wasn't really on the best of terms.]

[video] SPOILER WARNING for this thread, for benefit of others looking out for them

[waterkorrant]

[Now, the thing about looking through a list of names of who's here is that, unless you read every name on the list, you're probably not going to catch the ones you don't think to look for. Korra might have checked a number, namely those who had been at the compound before she was brought here, but Tahno's? It didn't occur to her that he might be here at all, which is why a reply from him gets quite the raise of eyebrows.]

[She's still a bit drippy in spots as she answers, drier by towels, but without waterbending to get the rest - or skill enough with her airbending to try that route.]

Tahno? You're here too?

[...text]

[unconchonable]

[It really is ridiculous how many people who come here seem to not know how to use simple technology, Eridan's no Sollux, but this is just annoying, not to mention the rerun of "OH god where are we halp halp!!!". Ah well, guess it's a good thing he's bored.]

youre in vvatheon your friends might or might not showw up evventually they might evven be here wwho fuckin knowwws
but ya better get comfortable cuz you aint leavvin anytime soon
and also learn howw to use the fuckin sfc instead a broadcastin your magnificent lack a brilliance all ovver the netwwork
lastly wwhat the bloody fuck is a polar bear dog

[Hey, you try knowing how to operate an SFC when you're from a world with 1920s level tech! And... these two. These two being these two doesn't help.]

excuse you, jerk. i've never even seen one of these before i came here or anything like it, so how was i supposed to know how to make it work?

but you know what, i don't think i'm going to tell you. if naga is here she deserves to be found by someone better than you.
