Who: Korra of the bitty and more temperamental variety
Broadcast: Yes!
Action: Aboard the Winderduck
When: Now!

[Have a miniature version of the Avatar, Fleeters. She is currently throwing a bit of a tantrum, unfortunately. Sorry Wonderduckians you get to deal with that...]

Where is this place?! I want to go home now!!

[And then she belts out her best child-like scream as the sound of something metallic ripping and bending can be heard, the door to her bedroom coming loose from the wall and bending grotesquely behind her.]

I want to go home! I want to go home now!

[Still panicking, there are a fresh wave of tears streaming down her face. Looking up, she realizes what she's done and there's a bit of a stoney silence that follows for a solid minute or so as the video continues to record her.]

Please don't get mad... I didn't mean to bend the door... it-it was an accident!

[She looks into the device, eyes wide with worry.]

Could someone fix it...? I'm really sorry.

[ooc: Korra's augment is glitched! Basically if you have previous CR with her it might take some prompting and she might bend a bit here and there accidentally but if you are on the Wonderduck and want to check on her feel free to do so!]

[What the fuck, this is hilarious.]

Careful, someone might get upset and want to put you in a time out

[THANK GOD SOMEONE TOOK MERCY ON HER AND USED TEXT. Because no one needs to see her like this anymore than they have.]

What? No! It was an accident. Besides - they can't put me in time out.

[Of course, she really does want to see this in person.]

Maybe not
I have a foolproof way of avoiding getting in trouble, if you want to hear it

Tell me! I don't want to get in trouble. Sometimes things like that just... happen, don't they?

Not usually
But anyways
You're clearly very young
All you need to do is give them your best puppy dog look
Tear-filled eyes, trembling mouth, a sniffle or two
It's very cute

Do people really do that? That doesn't seem very cute to me. Wouldn't it be because they're sad?

You're a child, you're biased
I think we adults may have it ingrained in our genetics
We can't help but be bowled over by a child looking sad

But would they be able to help me go home if I did something like that?

No
I'm sorry, it won't

[Oh. The screaming gets his attention first, but it's the warping of the door that holds it. There's something about that kind of distress that strikes a chord in him... both from his own experiences with power, and from the girl's tears. It nearly makes him want to put down the communicator and forget he saw it. But he can't.

He flicks on the video and addresses Korra calmly.]

I can fix the door for you. Are you all right?

[What the actual skidoosh is happening here? Why is this happening? What is his life? ]

...Korra?

[It had only been a little while since they last talked, and that conversation had been on a rather morbid topic. Fortunately, Wanda was starting to do better and was starting to feel more social-able again. Yet, she definitely was not expecting what she saw play out on the communicator screen.]

[While the metal-bending was impressive in and of itself--she'd only seen Erik do something similar prior, it was the little girl who looked ever so familiar that caught her attention chiefly.]

Korra?

[That was quite a sound, the sound of metal tearing down the hallway. Certainly not a normal noise on the ship. Nor was the sound of a child's voice (at least not for awhile). Heading out to find the source of it, assuming they were safe since they weren't getting pulled out into space by a sudden hole appearing in the ship, Remy paused at the mini-Korra that came into view.]

Korra? [Oh, great, an augment mix up. But Remy plastered a smile on, not wanting to make her any more upset than she was, and also moving to crouch so he wasn't looming over her.] Hey, petite, what's wrong? [You know, other than the obvious.]

[Ohhh no, he can't handle a crying child. Actually, no, he can, he's had practice thanks to his siblings, but that was years ago. What did he do to cheer them up...?

Well, he has one idea.

When the screen winks on, it's not a person's face that appears there, but instead a sock. It's clean, though clearly worn, and positioned just so on his hand to appear to have a mouth. Two dabs of some gel have been applied to the top looking maybe lie eyes if you happen to turn your head sideways and squint and a small mess of a few feathers stick out at odd angles, glued to be some semblance of very strange hair (Anders won't miss just a few...).]

Hi!

[Wolfe moves the sock puppet's mouth, putting his voice into a higher register with a sort of scratch to it in order to make the character.]

I'm the cheer up sock dragon!

[It looks absolutely nothing like a dragon. Or any other living creature.]

I'm sorry... I didn't mean to break it.

[There's still a few crocodile tears lingering but for the most part she's unharmed.Everything about this situation feels strange. She feels as if she somehow should know where she is or why she is here, but all she can think of is home. This place isn't home.]

I'm not hurt. I can bend metal like that really easy! Usually, anyway.

[Hey, at least she isn't in the Avatar State. That would be so much worse.]

[Almost as if a switch goes off - a familiar face brings her completely at ease.]

Sokka!! I didn't mean to, but I made the door all weird and bendy.

[Excuse her while she just glows with happiness because finally someone she knows, if only sort of.]

Hey, Sokka - can Naga and I come visit you? I don't like it here... it's scary being all by ourselves.

[Pleaaaaaase? ~~At least babysit her so she doesn't break anything else.~~]

[At first, recognition doesn't register, but then she remembers somewhere talking to this girl. They'd talked about sad things, hadn't they? Even now she wished she could have done better to help - whatever it was that had been bothering her.]

Ah- hello.

[Nope, not blushing in embarrassment and looking like the kid with their hand in the cookie jar.]

I-I'm sorry I broke the door, but I promise I'm not hurt!! Everyone keeps asking that.. [Everyone being Erik so far, but hey.]

I was just scared. I want to go home.

[She still feels a bit scared, truthfully, but she feels slightly better having seen Sokka. She would definitely find a way to go see him - it was much less scary when you were with friends, right?]

What's wrong? I want to go home! I don't like it here. The food is weird and Naga and I can't run and play!

[Pouting, she crosses her arms. She wouldn't bend anything else for now as long as she kept her cool, at least.]

I don't like it.

[Excuse her she's still somewhat hysterical for a bit longer, tears clinging to her face when she holds her device, hands shaking a bit. She really had messed up, huh. So many people were messaging her!]

But... you don't look like a dragon. You're a sock.

[She's seen dragons okay. Congratulations Hawke you got her to stop crying for a minute?]

Dragons are much bigger.

It's all right. I used to break doors when I was upset too. [Though that was a long time ago for him. She's so young, to be able to control metal as easily as she claims.] Can you really?

[Oh my god, everyone keeps turning into children.]

Door and the abrupt miniaturization thing aside, how badly do you need adult supervision. Is there already an adult there supervising you? Please say yes. [And then, almost inaudibly:] What am I saying, she just bent a door in half, fuck yeah she needs supervision.

[So . . . their pilot has joined the increasing number of fleet members turning into small children. And has just magically crumpled a metal door through maybe the power of her raw, tiny outrage.

That. That is definitely a thing.

It's a thing that has Eugene waiting a few hours before poking his nose into the area - both because he knows that even the metal leg he's walking around on isn't nearly as sturdy as the ship's doors, and because he imagines that she might be getting hungry enough that he can be something marginally better than Another Weird Adult. He gives the doorframe a light knock, peering in cautiously.]

Hey, uh. Cook checking in. Can I get you a snack or anything?

[Well, she recognises him. That's a good start. It would have been way harder otherwise. Sokka's not exactly the best kid-herder in the world. He offers her a small smile. ]

It's okay, it's what you do. We can fix it later.

[The smile widens, but remains gentle. ]

And sure! You can come stay here as long as you need, okay? Do you want me to come get you?

[She's had some time to cool down so when Eugene finds her she'll be sulking a bit with Naga and wishing she could figure out how to fix the darn door. The nice man from before offered to fix it so there was that, at least?]

Oh! Do you have seal jerky? I haven't been able to find any...

[Or anything from home, actually. She just wants to go home. Almost as if on cue, Naga sitting beside her lets out a disappointed whine and nudges her master with her nose.]

It's okay if we don't have any.

[Pouting intensifies]

Edited 2016-10-09 18:45 (UTC)

[She can't help it her Augment wanted to be mean!!]

I'm sorry. It really was an accident... I could go play with Sokka if you want...

[She's so worried you're mad at her Dave!! Console the smol child.]
