1st Cartwheel

[Action]

[So the clothing shop seems to have acquired a new mannequin -- a girl in her early teens, in a New Feather dress, with her cheerful pink wings neatly arranged as she slumps in an overstuffed, poorly upholstered armchair on a display in the shop. Yep, that sure is Ty Lee, with wings to match her aura!

All of a sudden, she comes awake with a start, giving a small gasp and shaking her head.]

No! I totally wasn't sleeping at my lesson, I swear! I know exactly what the capital of the-

Oh.

[No, that was just a bad dream about the Royal Fire Academy for Girls. She's definitely not there anymore!

But where is she is the question. She peers around with an air of befuddlement, then pushes herself out of the chair and turns to give it a look.]

Eww. What's that doing... here...?

What'm I doing here? Is this some kind of joke?

[Wait for it...]

...

Who took my clothes? This isn't my uniform! This isn't mine! It's like I'm dressed for a funeral...

[Which is kind of scary, actually.]


[Video, some time later]

[Well, she managed to find some clothes that aren't white, and that fit her -- it's not exactly a Kyoshi warrior uniform, but it's not a white dress or anything like what she wore in the Fire Nation, so good enough for now. And apparently someone's told her about the journals, because she's peering intently at it, the tip of her tongue sticking out as she messes with it.]

Weeeird. This isn't any kind of a normal journal! I thought journals were just for you to put your own stuff in, not... not do whatever this does!

Anyway, hi! Uh, if people actually do look at this thing, I dunno. Talking to a book is really strange. I mean, I know some people say books are their best friends, but this is just silly! (And so are they, if you ask me.) So if anyone's... listening to this book, whatever, nice to meet you!

Welcome to Luceti then, I guess. I'm Korra. You?

Yep. One where we need wings to survive. [Zatanna stretches her own grey set when she mentions them before pointing at Ty Lee.] You’ve got a pair yourself, in case you hadn’t discovered them yet.

[rashness]

'M Rin, someone else in town here.

[fashionably_strong]

That's...one of the really unique things about this place. I can actually speak from personal experience on that last one, though.

[She pauses for a moment, and lets it sink in for a moment before continuing.]

Both of my parents are here, but they took my mom from a point in time before my older brother and I were even born. Fortunately, she at least met my dad and was attracted to him by then, so it wasn't as weird as it could have been.

[...Pffft. And, as usual, this sorta reaction doesn't surprise Dash a bit. Nope, she'll roll with it. Keep up the casual front.]

By the way, you're not seeing things. And yes, things are only gonna get weirder. Take it from somepony who's been here almost two years.

[isgorgeous]

I'm Bolin!

[ A pause as the other part of her comment sinks in. ]

You know Aang? Then are you from the same world?

[markofthewise]

Are you really suggesting auras are transmitted over the journals?

[He doesn't even believe in auras as it is, but certainly not being transmitted by video.]

[twodragons]

Katara too. And some people from our future. That's where things start to get complicated.

[action]

[thepinkest]

Wait, what?

[And now Ty Lee's twisting around to get a look at them. Yep, pink feathery wings, right there!]

No! This is awful! They're gonna mess me up so bad! How did they even get these on me?

[thepinkest]

Yeah! Though... Haha. I'm kind of from the Fire Nation, or I was. Not anymore, though!

[thepinkest]

Ty Lee! It's nice to meet you, Korra.

So... What's up with this place, anyway? I mean, they grab me away from home, they stick these weirdo wings on me...

[ Ikki actually doesn't recognize her, but Ty Lee may recognize the air nomad get up. ]

It's kinda weird, yeah! But you get used to it reallllllly quickly.

[thepinkest]

[Sorry Dash, you're kinda weird to a lot of people.]

Some... pony...

[Okay, that's actually kind of a cute kind of weird.]

What kind of weirder?

[isgorgeous]

So? I'm half fire nation and half earth kingdom. It doesn't matter that much where I come from.

[thepinkest]

Well, I can see you, can't I?

[Shhh just trust the expert, Sokka.]

[thepinkest]

Oh no! I'm glad you're much better, but you should take care of yourself.

I'll be looking for you!

[voice]

[thepinkest]

Well, hi Rin! I'm Ty Lee. Where're you from?

[Video]

[thepinkest]

But your mom doesn't even recognize you? That's really sad!

[thepinkest]

Sounds like a pretty good group of people so far! Everyone who's nice... but what about these future people?

[thepinkest]

I'm glad things are going good! I just hope I won't miss it all being stuck here or something.

[And she tilts her head, thinking about it.]

How can I get home, anyway?

[thepinkest]

[Yeah, those clothes definitely look familiar, compared to a certain Avatar~]

I hope so!

Hi, are you an air nomad?

[thepinkest]

[Doesn't matter? She can't really wrap her head around that one! Comes from growing up in a world at war, and all that.]

Where do you come from? I can't imagine much of anywhere that just... wouldn't mind you're from two different sides!

[isgorgeous]

Uh, about 70 years in the future? Give or take a year here or there.

[ex_tessen852]

Yeah. This place can do some really weird things to you. I'll tell you more about it when I see you.

[And she'll head out, hanging out around the fountain, seeing how it was so easy to find people there.]

[savedtheworld]

[He rubs a little on his head.]

That's the difficult part. We don't know a way to get home by ourselves. Sometimes people do get home eventually... but it's all random. We can never know who can go when. But at least... at home, it's like time is frozen for us.
