So... meanwhile, back at the ranch, there were opportunities for those who have caught their journals to know who's coming, and those who have not caught their journals to be taken by surprise at the new Water Tribe member in the house.

[That evening, Aang woke up with his face in a book. There he was, in the library. Jinora had piqued his interest in books, so he was trying to read one. He didn't count on so many words, and maybe it was still some residual tiredness from the draft that caused him to sleep the day away there.

He quickly got a sense of how late it was, however, and he scooped up his journal without bothering to check it first. Once he was outside, he produced an air scooter and made his way back as quickly as possible, hoping he hadn't missed dinner.]

[spiritblocked]

[When Aang comes home he'll find an extra member in the house. She's sitting on the couch, hunched over herself a little, and staring down at orange soda can in her hand. You know it was still weird. The soda here was different. The taste, the packaging, everything... but it had the same name. Sort of like the Avatar, wasn't it? A different personality, a different body, but still all the same responsibilities and abilities. Except, unlike most sodas - Avatars? - she was flat. She couldn't be like the others. She was defunct.

Tch, no. Avatars aren't like soda at all. What is she thinking?]

[1/2]

[savedtheworld]

[Aang walks casually into the house and begins to peer around the living room for signs of his roommates... only to find a young woman on the couch. It definitely ain't Katara. Aang begins to feel an odd, but familiar sensation. He walks towards her.]

Oh. Hello?

[savedtheworld]

[And then he makes eye contact. His eyes widen, and he almost feels like he's in a trance. He hadn't felt this way since the first time he saw Avatar Roku's statue.]

[spiritblocked]

[She stares back, wide-eyed. He's... so much smaller than she imagined. In fact when Ikki said he was younger she didn't know what to think, but either way this is a shocker. So this is her... her past life. Her predecessor. Her... superior.]

Aang.

[markofthebrave]

[Later that night, Katara knocks on Aang's door.

Quietly, though. She doesn't want to wake the girls. Or Roku. Who is probably asleep. Aang might be too, actually, but she's going to hope not.]

[savedtheworld]

[Aang was awake, staring up at the ceiling, everything he had learned swirling through his head. There were many details Ikki had said that were easy to miss. But became impossible to ignore once Korra (and the others?) spelled them out.

He heard a knocking and, as to not disturb Roku (a non-snoring night), he gracefully hopped down to the floor without making a noise. And he softly cracks the door open to peer through with a corner of his face, speaking with a harsh whisper.]

Hello?

[spiritblocked]

[Everything was a mess. Tarrlok didn't have his bending and apparently kidnapped her - she's behind. So behind. Probably even months behind. Asami was being friendly to her over the journal - even protective. Were they friends? Could she be friends with that girl? She didn't know, and it felt like she was letting everyone down yet again in a new way. But Korra put on a smile. A smile for people she didn't know, people she did know, but knew in a different way back home.

Albeit it's not the most flattering of smiles. Oops.]

Oh, hey... everyone?

In which I need a non kissing hug icon

[powdersup]

[Yeah no as soon as Korra's in eyesight of her Asami's barreling over to hug the other girl. She's been here with only the oldest of Tenzin's family, recently Lin, and a bunch of people from the past for days. None of Team Avatar proper has been here. And now Korra was here and she had to worry far too long about the fact Tarrlok was with her.

She still has on the Equalist glove thin, but oh well. She's not activating her]

I should probably get on that when I'm not working

[spiritblocked]

[Whoa, whoa! Asami? Asami, Mako's girlfriend, is hugging her? Wow, they really must be friends in the future. This creates a knot in her stomach that twists her insides up. Should she feel bad for how she felt about this girl? To be honest Korra is conflicted with her (she feels) justified annoyance at the girl, and the sudden friendliness she's showing. Ugh, time for more fake smiles and awkwardness.]

Asami... hey... [What are proper words? Shut up, she knows she already said "hey."]

[breezing]

[ Ikki doesn't bother with hellos, she just tackles Korra around the middle, squealing loudly. ] Korra! Korra Korra Korra I missed you! When are you from? Where'd Tarrlok go? Did he bloodbend you? Are you okay? Did you meet my Grandpa yet?

Look, I have this! [ she shoves her right wrist up near Korra's face, as far as she can reach, around which are the prayer beads Aang gave her, looped around to fit. There are four wooden emblems of each of the nations, evenly spaced. ]

[spiritblocked]

[Whoa, girl! She catches Ikki without any trouble, but the hard part is sorting out what she said.]

Uh, that's great! Really nice, Ikki!

[markofthewise]

[Sokka arrives a little after this 'shindig'. Had to get Appa situated and all. You can'd just park a sky bison and just walk away, you know. So after coming in, he's headed straight to the fridge to get a drink. And then he spots Korra. Who looks like she feels out of place as she probably is.]

Hey, Korra. Thirsty?

[spiritblocked]

Sure. [She says, leaned up against a wall. She feels so... crowded here. It's a bit uncomfortable for her.]

Got any leechi juice?

[markofthebrave]

[At some point, after doing what she can to make Korra comfortable, comfort and calm everyone down... Katara approaches Korra.]

Hey. Feel like a walk?

[spiritblocked]

[Korra's just crushing the soda can in her hand now as she tosses it away.]

Yes, of course Sifu Katar- Oh, wait, I- [Awkward.]

[metalbends]

[Hey, she just met you, and this is crazy, but her daughter is here, so pardon the lack of enthusiasm, maybe?]

...Huh. [Well, upon first "look", she seems cool enough.] You're Korra?

[spiritblocked]

And you're... [Huh? Who is- Hold up, this is-!]

Toph Beifong? [Cooooool. She's obviously heard stories of your badassery.]

In which I need a hug icon

[airbound]

Korra!

[Jinora had waited to see the avatar show up at the house. She'll wait for her to get over being glomped by the others, but then she'll move forward to hug her too.]

♥

[spiritblocked]

[Korra hugs back, smiling just a little.]

Hey, Jinora.

[flameoroku]

[There are so many people suddenly popping up from home! And they were people not even in the Gaang's era, but even further into the future. He almost feels even more behind the times now, but at least he can be happy that life still goes on after his and Aang's time. He's only heard a few things about the next Avatar, so when he found out she showed up...well, firstly he had to get pass the surprise that it's a girl and secondly it was only a matter of time before he gets to see her.]

Hey there! [If this is Korra, she's got a nice figure...almost gives off a weird Kyoshi vibe too.]

[spiritblocked]

You, uh... you're Roku, right?

[powdersup]

[This is a thread for anyone wondering what she's doing with/what this glove is.

After all Sokka was picking up Tarrlok too so she had it on just in case when she headed over here to meet Korra

ETA: Or anyone who wants to ask her spoilers for the end stuff of Korra]

[markofthebrave]

[As it is, Katara does have questions.]

Hey. Do you have a minute?

[powdersup]

Oh Katara- yeah, I have time.

[She can't just... dote on Korra forever particularly when Korra isn't totally cool with her yet]
