Track 1 [video][Point of Origin: Nexus Prime temple]

[The video feed comes on to show Miko, a human girl with pink and black hair, sitting in a sprawled out manner. She has a lazy, self satisfied smirk in place and has a guitar case propped up next to her, while she leans back against an amp.]

So, I'm on Cybertron, and not just any Cybertron, a new one just being built. This rocks.

And not having to deal with some dorky space suit, total bonus.

Well I'm Miko, and I'm looking to see if there is anyone here that I know. Course I am totally up for meeting new people too!

[She pauses for a moment like she is going to shut off the communicator before she looks back up, an almost blank expression on her face, only a little bit of sadness showing through.]

Bulkhead, if you are here get a hold of me right away, okay?

[Shrugs.] Your normal hair color looks fine to me.

[Laughs, surprised.] Wow, I think you're the first person I've met here whose name sounds like something I'd hear back home.

Yeah, I'm not a Cybertronian. Nice to have more people my size here.

[Tilts her head.]

So, where do you come from?

But this color is so.... blah!

Really? Does that mean you are from Japan in your world?

It's nice to not be one of a few humans, yeah?

Japan on Earth.

[Korra chuckles.] It is not! Your hair color is totally fine.

There's no Japan from my world, though I've met some guys here that were from there too.

Though--

[Korra rubbed her chin. Looked around. Realized she had no parchment or ink to write with. Getting something like that could be useful. And she knew her phone vid link thing worked like a typewriter, but she was still trying to figure it out.]

--look, another guy here said this writing looked familiar to the Earth he knew--

[And Korra impulsively bent the water from her bottle and bent it to form a character, one that would resemble Chinese to Miko.]

That ring any bells?

I guess it's cause anyone can color their hair in my world, but having normal colored hair is so bland.

Are you talking about those Brave Police guys? Cause I've heard about them from Noisy Boy!

[She blinks at the sight, responding a bit monotone.] Looks Chinese to me.

[And then any thought of the language is gone and she is all but fangirling over that ability there Korra.] HOW CAN YOU DO THAT! THAT IS SUPER AWESOME! CAN YOU TEACH ME?!

[Snickers.] It's so not bland!

Yeah, the Brave Police. Never met Noisy Boy before.

'Chinese?'

[Korra blinks.]

I dunno...if you don't know what bending is, I'm guessing it doesn't even exist in your world? Bending's, uh, something you're born with....

[CAN YOU TEACH ME?!--Korra feels uncomfortably aware that nonbenders can't be taught bending at all, how it's kinda restricted, really not everyone can do it, and now she feels sorta...weirded out by it....]

But everyone else in Japan has dark hair. Why be the same as everyone else when I can be totally different?

Noisy Boy is a boxer from Japan in another different world like the Brave Police are.

Yeah, it's a language that's a bit like Japanese, it looks really similar when written, but sounds pretty different when spoken.

I wonder if maybe I could have been born with it even if it doesn't exist in my world. If no one knows about it maybe they just don't know how to teach how to do it~! It would be super neat if I could do it!

Why be different? What's wrong with being like others? There's noting wrong with other people...most people are cool. And if it matters so much, there are better ways at being different. Like, I dunno, what you do, instead of what you look like. [Shrugs.] But I'm really used to everyone having dark hair where I'm from, unless you're too old for that. But people can wear their hair different ways, cut it different ways. And then there are different eye colors and body shapes and skin colors and all sorts of different clothes....

Boxer? What's that?

Huh, so I guess my language is in your world after all.

[Blinks.] That...doesn't make sense. How could you be born with it if it doens't exist in your world? And if it did existed in your world and you were born with it, your probably would've known by now--signs of bending usually show up early when people are really young. And, y'know...because of that your world would probably know about it, if it did exist. It'd be too conspicuous to pass by anyone's notice.

[OOC: Is Miko 15?]

Edited 2012-08-08 19:50 (UTC)

Well everyone has those differences. But when it comes down to it, I look like my parents, and I want to look different from them.

[Because the further she can be from them the better in her book.]

A boxer is someone who does Boxing, it's a type of fighting that people on earth like to watch matches of.

Maybe, I mean it depends on if things mean the same thing, cause if not it just looks similar.

Awww I was hoping it might be something that could show up later. And who knows maybe ending up in a funky new dimension means that I could have shown up suddenly.

[OOC: Yeah, 15.]

Why would you want to look different from your parents? [So confused. Korra likes taking after her folks.]

[OOC: Oh Korra, not quite understanding that not everyone has good relationships with their parents. Though in all seriousness, my headcanon: how often did Korra even get to see her parents after being identified as the Avatar? She apparently had to go down and visit her parents from the compound! So, I think deep down Korra feels a little deprived of her parents though they weren't dead, so she's intellectually more invested in them/really would like statements of 'you're just like your mother/father'/actually rather heroworships them. Hence Korra's confusion at not wanting to look like your parents. Because being closer to them is great in her book.]

Oh, cool! Have you ever boxed?

Got a point there.

Haven't really met anyone here who suddenly showed new powers after getting taken from home.

...Y'know, I can show you the martial forms of bending at least. Anyone can do those. And with some tweaks here and there, you've got some form of self-defense set up!

[OOC: So Korra is physically older too.

...Now I'm actually shipping Korra/Jack Darby. XD]

Because, they are old-fashioned and think they know all the best for me. They don't want to let me pick what to do with my life. The less like them they are the better.

Me? Naw, I'm not into all that kind of stuff. I prefer to rock out.

[She looked extremely excited.]

Really?! That would be totally awesome.

Now that, I can kinda get. [Pfft old White Lotus guys.]

'Rock out?' [If they hadn't been discussing how Miko probably couldn't bend, Korra would've wondered if that was slang for earthbending.] What's that?

Sure. Does your temple have an arena to practice in?

Edited 2012-08-13 19:28 (UTC)

Rocking out is... playing music, but like rock music and such. You can't really rock out on a piano.

Um, I don't know, but there is a lot of craters outside, I'm sure the big guy here wouldn't mind us using one of the smaller ones.

Oh, it's another word for playing music! Cool, what instrument do you play? I haven't heard--yeesh, I don't think I've really heard any music since getting stranded here!

[Now Korra's in awe. She loves music.]

Sounds good.

Who's your 'big guy' anyway? What temple would I have to go to meet you in person?

Yeah, but it kind of means playing really hard too. I play the electric guitar, and some piano. Really, there should always be music, it's awesome~!

[Music was a big part of what has drawn her and Bulkhead together, so music was even more special to Miko.]

Oh, I'm with Nexus Prime.

Electric guitar? How does that work?

Too cool.~

[Spirits, Korra missed the radio back home, and not just the music on there, but the radio plays, the talk shows, Shiro Shinobi, the probending.]

Got it. I'm with Megatronus Prime. I'll have to travel to your temple some time. Hmmm...got anything in the way of clothes that'd be good for fighting. Like, loose pants, good boots? I know things are scarce here, but I'm not sure if you already have that or what.

I'll show you.

[She pulls her guitar case over to her side and pops the latches open and brings the instrument out. After a moment of shuffling she has the comm propped up in the lid of the case so that it was still showing her, and now her guitar that was out.]

I'm guessing you know what guitar is, since you only sounded curious about the electric part. These are the pick ups, they catch the sound that the guitar strings make, instead of the hollow body of an acustic guitar to amplify the sound, these capture the sound, and transfer it, through a cord plugged into this cord here, to the amp behind me. The amp is just basically a giant speaker but they are special made to handle the intense notes from instruments.

[As she had explained it she had pointed to and shown everything she was talking about, even strumming a note so that Korra could hear how soft it sounded without the amp.]

Other clothes? Just what I've got on, unless there is other stuff our size around I'll have to deal with this.

So...the electric part changes the sound of the guitar?

We'll make do, then. Though, uh, keep checking the junkyard? I've been able to find another pair of clothes--

[sort of]

--there.

[Korra blinked.]

And there was this one time Blurr and I found this weird wand thing that instantly changed a person's clothes into a skirt thing....

Kind of... I mean the notes are still the same but... it's... like the difference between a regular guitar and a horn, they make the same note but because of what they are they sound different. If that makes sense. If I find a way to get this thing all working I will play it for you so you can hear for yourself.

I'll keep a look out for some good stuff to use.

Wait, really? Sounds like something out of an anime.
