Who: Korra and YOU
Broadcast: nope
Action: Solace
When: now!

[Now that a lot of the crews have been patched up and they've landed somewhere safe, Korra is rearing to go and excited for this turn of events. The hover sports have definitely caught her eye in particular.]

Hey! Does anyone want to come try the hoverboard racing or hover ball with me? Back home, we had a sport called pro-bending, but it's a bit hard to do with non-benders and I think this is kind of like that? I guess it's open to newcomers too.

[Which sounds awesome, if you ask her.]

If anyone wants to come check it out with me, let me know.

[Specifically - if she's met you before she'll probably try and talk you into going with her if you aren't currently suffering an injury, but new friends are fine by her too.]

Action

[Korra can be found beaming with excitement as she watches the games going on around her and is looking at the different hoverboards with delight. It reminded her a bit of airbending but still seemed difficult to master. That was far from a deterrent, however. If you happen to be in the area and catch her attention, Korra is more than happy to drag someone over to check things out with her.]

[The First Battle]

[They come shooting out of the great dark. Guns blazing, no warning. The enemy ships are ragtag, mismatched, and cobbled together from spare parts. But that doesn’t make them weak. No-- years and years of scavenging have turned them into raiders, and they carry their scars with pride.

The battle is more aggressive than previous attacks against the Fleet. Nothing deters the raiders because they’re tough, and if they see a wounded ship floundering, they have no problems swooping in and boarding. Those crews will soon learn the meaning of teamwork if they want to bring the attackers down. They infiltrate the Iskaulit as well, just in case people try to hide there. At this point they are very, very used to tracking down women and children for their slave trade.

If asked why they’re doing this, the answer is simple.

Spare parts have to come from somewhere.

Don’t worry. Nothing on your ship, and no one, will go to waste.]

[A Few Hours Later]

[The raiders are too strong and the Fleet is failing. After what seems like an eternity of warfare, static comes in, broadcasted to the fleet at large. Something or someone is hailing them…

The signal is untraceable and the video is complete static, but they tell the Fleet they are here to help. Ships come swooping out of the black and they open fire on the raiders. They number a dozen, maybe more, and the ships look eerily similar to the ones currently used by the Fleet, if not a bit older and battle-hardened. Their shielding and weaponry is much, much better, however-- and most of them have custom paint or other touches on their hulls.

They’re not invincible, however. A few may end up between a rock and a hard place when the raiders surround them.

Some older residents may remember this particular group of ships. They’re obviously helping out now, but there’s nothing stopping Fleeters from firing on their would-be saviors save a complete lack of weaponry. You do have a Security officer on board, don’t you? They’ll defend themselves by seriously injuring your ship, but they won’t destroy it for some reason. Small mercies.

The raiders soon realize they’re outgunned and jump ship, taking their dead with them. The intercepting fleet pulls back, too, and both parties vanish back into the dark as silently and swiftly as they came. There’s a lot of cleanup to do whether your ship is disabled or you’re preparing to tow someone else.

Hopefully, the people who saved you don’t change their minds.]

[Plot info is here! Feel free to make your own toplevels with fighting, barricading, being boarded, saving others, the aftermath, etc. There's lots to do!]

Who: Korra
Broadcast: yes
Action: planetside
When: now!

[Have an excited Avatar on your video feed, fellow fleeters! She's decked out in a fur coat, her short hair tied in a half pony tail and is absolutely giddy today.]

So! I don't know how many people here are actually familiar with the climate outside besides me and Sokka and I wanted to give some pointers for anyone who isn't used to it.

[Adopting an authoritative look, Korra raises a finger.]

First - get a snow suit if you plan to go outside and you haven't got one already. That's just a no brainer. Second - if you have trouble walking around it'd be a good idea to get some snow shoes or if you find yourself walking across ice you'll want a pair of these:

[Korra holds up a pair of ice cleats for demonstration.]

They're handy for walking around on ice so you don't slip and slide everywhere if you're not a waterbender like me, of course. I also know a bunch of cool survival stuff if you get stuck out in a blizzard or something, but I don't think that's likely to happen so I won't bore everyone with that. Basically just learning how to be safe is important. If you want to talk hunting or ice fishing I can also help with that, but I think we're well stocked on food here.

[Said while popping a little fish into her mouth and smiling for the camera.]

If anyone has questions let me know? Otherwise I'll see everyone out in the snow.

Who: Hermione Granger and you!
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: On the Vanquish
When: 30/11 onwards

I think it might be time for me to ask for a little bit of advice.

I've been here a while, now, and I'm normally very good at not missing people. I used to give people tips on how to feel better about it, and it used to work for me, too, back when I was in the Drabwurld and there was a war to focus on. I would go and look in the library, but I can't imagine there's much of a help section there - dreadful, honestly - so.

If anyone has any suggestions on how to cheer yourself up, I'd be glad to hear it.

(Also: I have potions for all the ships on the fleet, now. If you'd like a set for your Lab, please let me know and I can bring them over!)

Who: Jennifer Keller and YOU
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: Wonderduck, or elsewhere if you want to take it there
When: November 6th

[When the feed clicks on without any intervention, as Atroma-made devices are wont to do, Jennifer's still asleep. However, it's but a few moments before she wakes, giving a gasp and looking around for a moment, confused, before it sinks in, and she lets out a moan of frustration.]

Goddamnit. [Then, realizing her communicator is turned on, she grabs it and turns it off, with a long-suffering sigh.

After talking to Beverly, Jennifer takes some time to check out her ship and its crew, making sure things are the same as they were when she went to sleep- for she'd gone home for a while, and been kept busy. Satisfied that nothing major had happened in her absence, when Jennifer makes a deliberate broadcast, this time she's holding up a new sponsor gift- a gray jacket with yellow stripes and a black leather jacket, replicas of her uniform from home. Except the Atlantis logo reads ATLANTA, and the pegasus has been replaced by a unicorn, and the yellow stripes on her jacket are very... neon.]

Now that I'm awake again, anybody want to start a sports team called the Atlanta Unicorns? Atroma was kind enough to welcome me back with these, and it struck me as a very good team name. Thanks, sponsors, you're the best.

[The sarcasm is laid on pretty thick.]

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!]

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.]

Who: Allen Walker
Broadcast: Video
Action: The Hand-Holding Planet
When: Time is relative.

[The feed opens up different from Allen's usual clinic-related broadcasts. First of all, the camera seems shaky, like it's been held by something flying. It also seems to be out in the forest, or rather near a clearing in the forest.]

[And behind him instead of Timcanpy, seems to be what looks like...well, a dead dinosaur that's so big you can only see a bit of it on the camera. And Sokka's in the background, pacing around and measuring the dinosaur from all angles, muttering to himself.]

Ah, hello all! [Allen gives a wave] I'm Allen Walker of the SS Blue Fish. I don't have any clinic announcements, but ah...

[He glances back, then looks at the camera again]

Well you see, my captain and I went hunting and we sort of...overdid it, a tad. You see, um, Tim? Can you show them?

[The shaky camera pans around, showing that yep- that is indeed a dead T. rex. A tree has been toppled on it, and there's stab wounds in the neck. Sokka meanwhile has started to examine the dinosaur with....finger square frame. Okay. After a moment, the camera will go back to focus on Allen]

Yeah, as you can see- I don't think we can get this back to our ship on our own, or fit it in the ship, if we did.

[He claps his hands together] So! We were thinking...if anyone would like some meat for your ship, we'd be happy to share! Just come on by and take some! We're out in the forest, a few miles outside of the city. There's clearly plenty to go around!

Oh, and if you have a way to move it closer to the ships, that'd be even better! We'd be happy to share an even larger portion! [He glances around the forest, a bit nervous. Behind him, Sokka seems to started drawing with intense concentration, using a nearby tree stump for his surface. Allen seems to talk like he's more talking to himself than anything:] I know I'd like to be out of here before we meet his friends...

[And then he clears his throat and looks back at the camera] Anyway. That's all! Have a nice day!

Who: Korra and YOU
Broadcast: No!
Action: Planet shenanigans
When: NOW

Wandering about

[Anyone roaming the planet might be able to find Korra easily. She was playing with the local children, showing them bending and also introducing them to Naga. The pup was a lot smaller than Naga was the last time she saw her but that didn't matter. Korra was happy as could be now that she had at least one familiar face. That is until she started to get hungry and was trying to grab food from one of the vendors.]

Ah- Naga no! Girl, sit!

[The pup wasn't quite as ready to be obedient yet. Korra managed to smooth things over by giving them some of the acorns she'd gotten for her performances in air bending from some of the locals and for doing various chores.]

Naga, you can't just take people's food... it's not nice.

[Someone could probably stand to help her out a bit in reigning her hungry friend in.]

SS Wonderduck

[After spending the day running around the planet in an attempt to tire out Naga, Korra manages to drag her back to the ship to give her somewhere to rest. Still she worries the rest of the crew won't like having their new companion and so if anyone notices her being a bit antsy - well they are free to ask questions.]

Hmm... I wonder if there's some fish around here...

[She can be found rummaging through he kitchen trying to find some food for Naga who Korra would later come to find had broken out of her room and was exploring the ship. Feel free to run into Korra or Naga? 8)]

Who: Korra and YOU
Broadcast: Yes!
Action: Aboard the Marsiva
When: NOW

Action

[Korra is still rather disoriented, waking up aboard the Marsiva. She had tried to dig the thing in her neck out, only to feel ill every time she tried to bend it out of her skin. That only served to make her feel more panicked. She had no idea where she was or how she'd gotten there. It reminded her so much of Tarlock or the Red Lotus and already she was panicking so that was far from helpful. Moreover, her injuries from fighting Kuvira seemed to have been treated. While that was nice it didn't instill any good feelings in her.

Moving from the bed, Korra looked around, feeling a great swell of anger. She was tired of being dragged around by crazy people! With a frustrated cry, she kicks at an end table, air pushing it clean off the ground and into the ceiling. Kicking it again, it flies into the door, slamming into it hard enough to bend it from the wall.]

Who's out there?! Show yourself!

[Yeah, she's mad.]

Broadcast - video;

[After calming down a bit, Korra somehow manages to get a broadcast working. She looked a bit apologetic and equal parts tired. She sat cross-legged in the cafeteria, looking thoughtful.]

Anyone out there? I mean - probably. They show stuff on the television here, right? Can anyone fill me in on what's going on?

[Wait - stop jumping ahead of yourself, Korra.]

Oh- uh... I'm Korra. I'm the Avatar, so if there's anything I can do to help everyone, I'll do my best!

[Yup. She totally has formal introductions down. She wished Asami was here. Thanks for ruining her date, Atroma.]
