a wild polarbeardog appears [video]

[not_halfbaked]

[Korra is now joined by a large white creature in the background, curled up and napping.  It looks like a cross between a dog and a polar bear.]

Hey guys, has anyone else seen little critters to hunt and eat?  Naga just came through some Lambda-arctic-light-in-the-sky weirdness, and I need to rustle up some good meaty grub for her.

Thanks!

I've... never seen a creature quite like that before, Korra.

I'm not so sure about other creatures. If I see anything, I'll let you know. How much does ... Naga need to eat and survive?

[not_halfbaked]

Naga's a polarbeardog. Gorgeous, huh? [Korra pats Naga's head, and the creature sniffs at her hair, making her giggle.]

Thanks.

[She frowns.] I think about four pounds per day, but I've never exactly measured before.

...I'll make sure Naga's careful with Yakul, though it's probably best if those two don't meet right away.

[elkmobile]

I've never seen anything like Naga before. Amazing.

[There's a quiet laugh.] You're right, I think. Yakul wouldn't be spooked, but I wouldn't want Naga to follow instinct around him yet. That'd be a bad situation.

But I wouldn't mind meeting your polarbeardog sometime.

I'll keep an eye out for any fresh meat.

[not_halfbaked]

Yakul sounds like he's got quite the spine.

Yeah, we should try to work something out, sometime. Naga's very friendly.

Thanks.

IS THAT A FUCKING BEAR?! CAN I COME SEE IT?!

[not_halfbaked]

A polarbeardog, and her name's Naga. Sure, you can come by, Naga would love to meet you, she's real friendly. We're just at the temple of Megatronus Prime.

...WAIT, YOU'VE SEEN A BEAR BEFORE?!

[vandalization]

NO? WE DON'T HAVE THOSE IN SPACE.

HOLY FUCK SO WAIT. IT'S A BEAR AND A DOG ALL AT THE SAME FUCKING TIME?!AND IT'S FRIENDLY?!

I AM ON MY GODDAMN WAY RIGHT NOW.

holy shit holy shit this is so cool!

-->action here?

[not_halfbaked]

Where I'm from, mixes are normal. Creatures like bears, just bears, are rare.

'Kay, Naga and I will meet you at the entrance.

Action!

[vandalization]

[Some time later, here comes Vandal, hobble-running up looking out of breath but more excited than anything as she takes her helmet off.]

Re: Action!

[not_halfbaked]

[Naga reaches Vandal first, beginning to sniff at the new person. Korra joins the polarbeardog.]

Hey there. Need some water?

Action!

[vandalization]

[She's halfway torn between fear and awe, unsure if it's okay to actually touch the animal. It seems friendly.]

Hey! Uh- yeah, if you don't mind.

[kingofthetvworld]

[Wait? Little critters? But little critters are cute and cuddly; oh the humanity!]

Can't she just eat a sandwich like everybody else?!

[not_halfbaked]

Well, maybe if there was meat in the sandwich....

Don't worry, I won't let her eat any of you guys.

[engrishdetective]

Hmm. Looks kinda like a dog...

You think Naga would be okay with dog food?

[not_halfbaked]

Oh, that's a good idea! Yeah, she probably would.

[engrishdetective]

A nice temporary solution, I think.

I think I have a can or two hiding around here somewhere. I was collecting cat food in case Boss's cat showed up, so I didn't see the harm.

[not_halfbaked]

Is that the canned tuna Yuuta mentioned?

[engrishdetective]

Don't think so, but I think Naga would like that, too.

[not_halfbaked]

Oh definitely, she loves fish.

[actionshortshorts]

[Yuuta presses his face close to the screen. Wow! What a big dog! Giant, cute animals are his weakness, okay.]

Haha! Oh wow! Is she your friend? She looks really cool!

[Yuuta frowns a bit in thought.]

I think I saw a mouse thing somewhere before, but I'm not sure. Can she eat canned tuna? I have one of those!

[not_halfbaked]

Yep, my oldest and best friend, and she's super cool.

[Korra scratches the polarbeardog's chin.]

Fish is one of Naga's favorites.

[herodecoded]

It sends pets, I see.

[Polite, Dinobot is.]

Re: [Video]

[not_halfbaked]

Thank the spirits for that! [Korra cuddles Naga some more.]

[Video]

[herodecoded]

I prefer to blame the dimensional tear, the same that brought us here.

Re: [Video]

[not_halfbaked]

Do you know a lot about it, Dinobot? [Korra shrugged, scratching Naga's chin.] I don't know much about 'dimensional tears.'

[Video]

[herodecoded]

I may know who--or what is responsible. I've seen this kind of phenomenon before.

Re: [Video]

[not_halfbaked]

You have? What happened last time?

[Video]

[herodecoded]

I was pulled to a planet beyond our time. Suffice to say, it was disastrous to the time stream.

Which is why we must exercise the same caution here!
