[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!

[Aang happens to be at the item shop at the same time - notably a bit older looking and around Katara's height.

She was so still, Aang really was starting to wonder if he was looking at some life-sized doll of his friend. So he's still caught by surprise when she pops to life and takes a step back.]

Whoa! Ty Lee?!

Ty Lee?

[Zuko's curious face fills the viewer. He's concerned about the girls well being, certainly, but he has to ask the most important question first.]

Is Mai with you?

[Of course he's gonna ask about Mai first; the question prompts a fit of giggling from Ty Lee, which after a moment she tries to stifle. Surely Zuko is the cutest Fire Lord in history.]

Just little old me, that's all~

[Wait, what? She pauses in her confused investigation, looking toward him. The difference in his appearance... well, she hasn't seen him that often up close and personal, and in the general 'wtf' of arriving in Luceti, she just shrugs it off as her imagination.]

Avatar? What're you doing here?

[It takes just a moment for it to settle in - Ty Lee in her New Feather clothing. She's here now. He gives a sheepish smile. She's not attacking him, so it seems like a good first sign. He's grown used to seeing her as an ally (and by default a friend), after all.]

Me? Oh, I've been here! It's kind of a long story...

[Zatanna's pretty much just looking around to kill some time and to see if there's anything interesting that's shown up. Turns out? There is.]

It is pretty bad, isn't it? [Zatanna grins as she walks over to the new person.] Luckily it's not that hard to get something better--not to mention that every girl shows up in the same dress, so we can all sympathize.

Oh.

[Trying not to sound too disappointed, as it isn't Ty Lee's fault.]

Well it's good to see you too. I mean, the circumstances could be better, but... You know.

...there's a lot of weird stuff in this place, to be honest. I'll do my best to explain things for you.

I guess! [She looks around the shop again and shakes her head.]

So... uh, where are we?

If you think of it more like some kinda computer, it's a little easier. Even if it's still sort of silly.

Ossu.

Well, that's part of the long story! We're stuck in another world now, and... First of all, I just gotta make sure. You're not trying to capture me or anything right now, are you?

Ty Lee?

[Suki just stares for a moment, trying to decide if she believes this or not.]

Is it... really you?

... Ty Lee. [He doesn't have his usual perkiness to him. But he's trying.] I guess you got the welcome spiel already, huh?

[A stranger! Ty Lee regards her curiously.]

Every girl? How many are there?

And who thinks it's funny to kidnap girls and dress them up in ugly dresses, anyway? That's really creepy!

The circumstances could be less weird, if you ask me!

[But aww, at least he's saying it's nice to see her, even if she isn't his girlfriend.]

Yeah, I getcha. It's weird, but there's a lot worse people who could show up, huh?

It sure is weird! I got a little bit from people here in the shop, but...

[But she's willing to hear more, because it's still super-confusing.]

Think of it like a what?

[Blaaaaaank stare.]

Of course not! Why would I still be trying to do that? Now that everything's taken care of, we're cool!

[But wait, why's he even asking?]

... Right?

Suki? You're here too?

[Okay, maybe it's a little weird to be happy that other people are stuck, but it's really nice to see her!]

Yeah, I heard about this place.

[But she doesn't quite sound like she actually believes it.]

Hey, are you okay?

Right! [He says with a sigh of relief. They may never have talked much, but Ty Lee is definitely someone he's glad to have as a potential friend instead of an enemy.] I just had to make sure. Because that's one weird thing about this place. Some people... can kinda end up here from different points in time.

[Don't be alarmed, Ty Lee. You are indeed looking at a cartoonish animal that vaguely resembles a horse. She's just kinda chilling, no big deal.]

You know, I've got a friend who totally thinks that way about books, and I still don't really get it. But I think this book's one of the few I can stomach. I mean, it sure beats writing letters. You just gotta get used to it.

Yeah, I've been here for nearly six months. Where are you? Has someone gone to get you?

[ . . . ]

You don't know what the... is. Nevermind, sorry.

A couple of hundred people; the guys show up in white pants. [Just to keep Ty Lee from thinking she’d ended up in some all-girls resort/prison.] And that part gets complicated. Apparently we’re in this village because of a group called the Malnosso, but we’re in this world because random forces decided to pull us here from our homes.

[She’ll let that sink in.]
