Who: Korra
Broadcast: yep!
Action: Aboard the Wonderduck
When: Now!

[Have a wet doggy nose complete with a tuft of white fur visible on your video network, flooters. Naga is attempting to sniff at the device, occasionally blocking view completely before Korra can be heard shooing her away.]

Hi, everyone!

[Korra smiles sheepishly and runs a hand through her short hair at the back of her neck.]

I guess I missed some stuff? All I know is I was on the ship and I woke up and we're in orbit again and my room is covered in destroyed chew toys - so... thanks for taking care of Naga? Whoever you are. Anyway-!!

[To the meat of the information she's seeking!]

I was wondering, since this is my first time back in orbit since we left the planet: What do people do for fun when we're not visiting other places?

[A girl can only abuse the weights in the recreational room on the Wonderduck so many times, ok.]

Though... I guess since I'm the pilot it'd be probably be better if I was driving the ship, huh.

[Still!! She's glad to be awake and is at least trying to find people to hang out with. Sort of. If anyone wants to seek her out aboard the Wonderduck, they are welcome to do so.]

Drink, offer witty and biting commentary, drink some more . . .

[if you wanted a serious answer, well -

no wait that's actually a serious answer]

Oh, and I work somewhere in between all of that.

[lightbends]

Oh. Right, drinking.

[She pulls a face. She's never actually tried drinking, though technically she was old enough to now.]

Well, I pilot my ship so sometimes it's nice to stick it on autopilot and do other things once in a while, you know? I guess that's why I'm asking. It makes me feel restless just doing the same thing all the time.

[Mostly because she misses home.]

[angelherding]

There's a library with a couple of good books in it, I suppose. [she says, as if she isn't over there often enough to be considered a regular]

I'm sure there's other fun and exciting things, but I generally keep to the stuff I listed.

[lightbends]

Hmm. You'd think these ships would have more to them than just work.

[She is so disappointed. Can't a girl get a Pro Bending Match or something? Goodness.]

voice.

[airily]

What do you do for fun at home?

voice.

[lightbends]

Well... there's a sport called power disk? But I don't think there's enough room for that. I'd probably break something.

[Which is why she's trying to figure out what people like to do that doesn't involve bending.]

voice.

[airily]

Wanna tell me how to play? There might be room somewhere.

[feathery]

[And Davesprite wanders by her while he's scrolling through the network.]

You don't have to do pilot shit if you don't want to, fyi.

[Which may or may not seem like it comes out of nowhere, depending how long it's been since she made the initial broadcast.]

[lightbends]

I know that, that's why I'm trying to find fun stuff to do.

[Because really there's nothing familiar for her to latch onto in this place. It's kind of hard.]

[feathery]

Yeah, the ships suck. I dunno if you do video games, though the ones we've got are kind of. Repetitive.

[There are only so many times you can chase a dot around a screen. He shrugs.]

And we have cards, but we kind of just make up the rules 'cause they don't look like any deck I've seen.

So you are Naga's owner? You have Dr. Keller to thank for keeping an eye on her. She was quite the handful.

Video

[lightbends]

[Going to just scrub a hand down her face. Naga, why.]

I swear she's not like that all the time... I think she's just been antsy for stuff to do and I was asleep so it made it worse.

[There were so many destroyed chew toys in her room... so many.]

Thanks for telling me, I'll make sure I thank her.

[notmutantbutmiracle]

[Wanda smiles and nods.]

To be honest, she was not too great a hassle. Though, you might want to keep an eye on her around the airlocks. There was some concern that she might try to learn the controls to get out.

[Wanda means it to sound like a colorful joke, yet there's a slight, discernible note of genuine concern in her tone.]

[forsometimenow]

I don't have much experience caring for dogs... or polar bear dogs, for that matter... but I was happy to take care of Naga for you, and several other people pitched in. She's very energetic.

[lightbends]

[If she didn't have the urge before to smack her forehead she did now. Naga!!]

I am so, so sorry. I hope she didn't break anything!

[Her parents had gone through quite a few vases and things growing up.]

Thank you for giving her those toys, too. I guess I'll have to find a way to make it up to everyone, huh?

[She grins, rubbing the back of her neck.]

[forsometimenow]

Eh, our resident fox chews on furniture- she was an angel in comparison. And honestly, it's no trouble. We had a steady supply of chew toys, since Simon- he's my colleague and lives on the Bloodsport- got a crate of those Flootemon toys from the sponsors.

[And lo, one more person gets ticked off on his "people I need to worry about" list. He's glad for that. She's here and she's okay, good. ]

We had an epic rock concert and Naga stage dived during the final act. It was amazing. Tragedy you missed it, really.

[His smile softens a little.]

Welcome back to the land of the fully conscious.

Re: Video

[lightbends]

[A who what now?]

.... Right. [Still, he gets a laugh out of her.]

Maybe we'll have to pay a visit sometime - you're on the Blue Fish, right?

[alwayscomeback]

Sure am, also known as the Best Ship. You can drop on any by, but let me know when you're outside. We had to lock the doors for a while, we got a crazed vampire situation going on.

[spontaneouscombustion]

Oh hey, Korra, welcome back!

Let's see, I've only been on TWO places so far, so this is only my second time going in between them. But on our way to the hand-holding planet there were way-stations we could visit for supplies, and in the mean time we can shuttle back and forth to visit people, and we can call them on the comms. And I'm an engineer so I spend some time thinking of stuff I wanna make!

Video

[lightbends]

You're an engineer? Wow.

[She swears that is not as disbelieving as it sounds. She's just really excited to meet someone who does the same things as Asami.]

My - uhm... my friend, Asami makes cars and planes and things back home. I wish I knew that kind of stuff, though I guess that's why I'm not an engineer.

[spontaneouscombustion]

[Suuuuuuuuure your friiiiiieeeeend.]

Yeah, it's pretty fun! I only made things from time to time back home, but now I do it a LOT more and it's super fun!

[tallasaking]

Build things. Visit with friends. Read, by the Seven, do I ever read ... and allow myself some wine. [A deep sigh.] I do miss wine.

Video

[lightbends]

I'd be more sympathetic to that last one if I drank. I've never tried it before.

[Though she is technically old enough. She just had bigger things going on than trying alcohol.]

Re: Video

[tallasaking]

Never? Well, allow me to be the first to offer you a drink then. Wine is something one has to build a taste for, after all.

[He gave her a crooked smile.]
