Book 1

[savedtheworld]

Who: Aang and everyone ever.
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: Marsiva
When: Also this afternoon?!

[Meet Aang, as the tattooed young monk suddenly wakes up in the infirmary bed with a shock.

He jumps to his feet and begins pacing the area while being both highly anxious and slightly dazed.]

Wait! What just happened... Did I really beat the fire lord, or- or was that just a dream?!

Where is everyone...

[Then he pauses as he sees out a window into all of outer space; the monk gasps.]

Oh no...! Where did the world go?!

[At least he still has his pants.]

[ omfg... okay, everyone is just appearing at once, apparently, and katara ain't even mad. ]

Aang! Hey, it's alright, everything's okay.

[savedtheworld]

[Now that's a familiar voice. And one that helps to take the edge off. He quickly turns towards the video screen.]

Katara?! What's going on...? [He still sounds a little anxious, but some of his worst fears are set aside seeing that Katara seems to be alright.]

video

[kyasdaughter]

It's... complicated.

[ all of this is complicated, and she isn't really sure she knows where to begin explaining it. ]

You're not hurt or anything, are you?

video

[savedtheworld]

Nope... [He rubs at his head as he tries to remember.]

Actually, I feel fine. Even though I'm pretty sure I just fought the fire lord...

[He shrugs uncertainly.]

Maybe it was a good night's sleep?

video

[kyasdaughter]

Oh, good, you remember all of that.

[ she seems relieved enough by it, at least. ]

We're... well, all in outer space, apparently. Or on another planet now, I guess.

video

[savedtheworld]

Yep! I didn't lose my memory or anything. And I'm glad to see that you're alright...

[The last he remembers seeing Katara was on Ember Island, before he stormed off.]

Outer space, yeah. That makes sense. [Somehow being in space makes more sense than he would expect it to.] But why are we in space...?

Video

[alwayscomeback]

[What is even happening? Is he having some massive hallucinogenic dream, or has Atroma actually decided not to be a douche to him for once?]

Thaaat's what I'm trying to find out. Where our world is, anyway.

[Ugh, he's missed you, you veggie eating weirdo. ]

It's ok, though. It's safe.

Video

[savedtheworld]

Sokka! [He brightens up a bit to see him. And now he'll poke at the screen some more.]

It is...? What happened? Why are we in space?

[alwayscomeback]

[Dude, you're gonna get fingermarks all over it. ]

Basically? We got kidnapped by people who want to use us for entertainment. I've been here six months already.

[savedtheworld]

[He stops quickly enough; it feels like he knows more about working this thing than he would have thought that he should.]

Kidnapped? Wait, six months? But... I just saw you, Sokka! We all stopped the fire lord!

That was real, right?

[alwayscomeback]

Time works really weird, here. The last thing I remember was being on the warship in the battle.

So for you and Katara, sure, that was real. For me? Not so much, yet.

...Almost, though?

[Lots of kids recently. Axel wonders if it's a pattern. It doesn't seem entirely fair to disrupt kids' lives like this. Everybody's got stuff to do back home, sure, but something like this could screw a kid up for life! Well, maybe he can at least say something nice.

[He gestures at his head.]

Nice ink.

Don't worry, your world is still there, somewhere. [Or so they say.] Think of this as an extended vacation.

[savedtheworld]

[Aang manages to answer with an innocent smile, first patting at the tattoo on his forehead.]

Thanks!

A vacation, huh... Well I guess that we could use a vacation after what we just went through! But, um, I don't think this would be my first pick for one.

[got_it_memorized]

[Axel gives a slightly bitter chuckle.]

Yeah, outer space with a bunch of strangers isn't exactly my dream getaway either, but I'm not gonna look a gift moogle in the mouth. It's better than what I had going for me back home, anyway.

[savedtheworld]

[He wonders what a gift moogle is. It sounds cute.]

Your home's... a different home than mine, right? [He's getting used to this whole 'different worlds' thing. But he has good news for people from his home, at least.] I'm sorry if it's rough there.

I just wish this place had some animals to ride!

[got_it_memorized]

Most likely. Never seen anybody dressed like you before, so it's a safe bet we're from different worlds. [This isn't new to Axel, though; he's been traveling to other worlds for the Organization for years. He's not even sure which world to call home anymore. He waves a hand, shaking his head.] Ah, it's nothing I can't handle. I'd just rather take some time off, though, so I'm not really complaining too much about being here.

[He blinks then, looking a little surprised.]

Ride? What, like horses?

[video]

[delincuente]

It was all a dream. You imagined the whooole thing.

[She's bored and there are new people showing up. This is her specialty.]

[video]

[savedtheworld]

Wh-what, really?! What do you mean, the whole thing?!

[delincuente]

Yeah, totally. You're actually a goblin named Harold. Welcome back, kid. The experiment was a success.

[savedtheworld]

A g-gobin? Experiment?

I don't get any of this at all!!

[delincuente]

That's normal, it takes a few days for the anesthetic to wear off. Just go with the flow.

[ Oh, hey. Look. This kid is about Sonata's age. She wonders if she should go find him, but decides against it after a minute. ]

Hey! It's okay, you're alright.

video

[savedtheworld]

Yep! [He puts on a calm smile. He doesn't know this girl, but he doesn't want to worry her.] I feel perfectly fine!

[He winds up one arm, as if that's definitive proof of how alright he is.] How about you?

video

[truecaptain]

[ The calmness in itself is a little worrying, but she decides to try for a smile anyway. Raisin a hand in return she shakes her head. ]

Not anything I'm not used to. It's a little strange up here if you're not used to it, huh?

video

[savedtheworld]

It is pretty strange! I always liked to look up at the night sky, but I never thought I'd actually be in it! [He meekly chuckles a little at his own comment.]
