WATER [Open to all players!]

[not_halfbaked]

(OOC: Let me know if I'm doing this wrong--like, if this is the incorrect format for this re-aligned comm or something, I know there's more than one, and I'm sorta a little confused on which is for which?  Anyway, here goes....)

Is this thing on?

[Korra lightly bangs at something, frowning--the screen shakes.  She gives a big exaggerated sigh, then continues.]

Okay, I heard there were some other humans like me out here, so given that, I wanted to ask if any of you guys have found water?  Like, any water at all, a pool, a river, even a freakin' flask of it?  And y'know, same question to anyone, Cybertronians or spirits or whatever--have you seen water?

[Korra blinked, then added in a rush.]

And in case there's anyone who doesn't realize, water's a big deal for humans like me, we need it to survive.

[Korra moves to turn off the screen.]

Okay, that's it, hopefully someone gets in touch with me about this--

[Korra stretched too far or too fast, because she flinches, irritating the wound on her back.  No way is she going to ask aloud for medical help.  If she can find water, she can heal herself, thank you very much.  But then the thought occurred to her--if there were other humans like her, were there like any other healers among them?  What if there...weren't?  A panicked expression suddenly flashes across Korra's face.]

Um, actually, quick head count--are there any human healers out there that can, y'know, heal...humans?

[Korra's expression distinctly reads without words, 'That sounded lame.']

Well, I'll, uh, raise my head first--or is it hand--?

[Korra shakes her head, raises a hand.]

Whatever, I can heal as long as I have water--it's a bending thing--uh, and that's a thing where I manipulate the water to like do whatever I want including heal the human body.  So if there's a human out there who's hurt and has water or can find water, you can come to me for help.

[Korra paused, trying to think of anything else to add.  She slowly shrugged.]

Okay, that's definitely it now...so, um, bye, hope to see someone with info on water soon.

[End transmission.]

[ ooc: You could probably skip on the quotation marks next time, but they're not a mistake or anything. Good job :D ]

Hmm. [ Ratchet's face, when it pops up on Korra's Link screen, is somewhat contemplative in expression. She may, however, miss that in favour of the fact that there is a "spirit" speaking to her with blue eyes blazing and something very similar to a Fire Nation warrior's helm on his head. ]

You can heal humans with water and nothing else?

Re: [video]

[not_halfbaked]

(OOC: Thanks for the advice!)

[Korra jerks at the sudden Cybertronian? Spirit? mech tank? definitely nonhuman face that pops up on her screen. She'll still have to get used to all the new not-even-human people. Granted, his helm looked like a Fire Nation warrior's helm too, not unlike the first metal person she met, Knock Out. The familiarity calms and bewilders her simultaneously.]

Oh, hello there! [Korra gives a sheepish grin.] Yeah, I only know how to do it with water. It's possible to do it without it--[like nonbenders]--but I never learned [maybe I should've].

[Korra shakes herself out of a contemplative face.]

So, what's up? Are you just curious, or do you know someone that needs help? Or have you found water?

[Korra blinks, adding.]

My name's Korra, by the way. What's yours?

Re: [video]

[docbot]

[ ooc: No prob! Glad to help. ]

[ A nod from Ratchet. ]

If that's the case, I'd be greatly interested in seeing a demonstration of what you can do with it.

[ He pauses, then decides that yes, sharing water would be an acceptable price for having a true healer of humans around to care for Raf, if need be. ]

I do have a small quantity of water stored at my quarters that we could use, if you'd like. And if it's not consumed during said demonstration, you would be welcome to keep some.

... and I'm Ratchet. It's, ah, nice to meet you Korra.

[sword_redemption]

[She was sure fixated on water.]

Water. [He nods.] I can look for it.

[While he's out here doing his AVOID EVERYONE EVER thing.]

Re: [video]

[not_halfbaked]

[Direct and to the point. Korra likes that.]

Cool, we can look together.

My name's Korra, forgot to introduce myself on the phone...link...thing....

[Korra coughs.]

Anyway, what's your name, Sir?

[video]

[sword_redemption]

[He can be wordier; it's just hard to get your speechifyin' on when you're oozing. Which has thankfully slowed.]

Not together.

[Well, that came across a bit...brusque. He shakes it off. ]

I'm Drift.

That normal where you're from? That water thing? [Because you seem really into water. Just saying.]

[Video]

[raceme]

[Guess who ran all over the planet when he arrived, Korra? This guy. If he's surprised to see an organic he's not showing it ebcause *someone asked a quesiton.*]

"I found ice near sir Liege's fortress would that work for organics? I know you need fluids in a daily basis and ice is basically hardened water you could try to add heat to turn it back to water again but I don't know how sanitary that ice might really be."

Re: [Video]

[not_halfbaked]

[Korra's rather used to voices talking fast after living with Ikki and being friends with Bolin.]

That's awesome news! Thank you so much--ah, what's your name? Mine's Korra.

[Korra crosses her arm, confident.]

Ice shouldn't be a problem, I can just bend it back into a liquid.

[She frowns though, putting a hand to her chin.]

But how sanitary it would be...that is a good question....

[Korra shrugs.]

My Sifu once had to drink from the water she bent from, and that should've had at least some swampy stuff after using it to fight a swamp monster. That doesn't sound sanitary either, but she made do, and she survived to have grandkids.

[She rubs her chin again.]

Though I could boil the water--I think that should make it clean? Or probably just bend any dirty stuff out, if I find any.

[Korra blinks.]

Um, where is this Liege guy's fortress?

[Video]

[raceme]

[That is a wonderful thing, it means Blurr won't have to repeat himself. That's new.]

You are welcome miss Korra. I am Agent BLURR member of the Elite Guard a intelligence gathering body that exists within the Autobot fraction. [He points to his chest. Look he got an insignia and everything, isn't it cool?] Bendit? I don't think that changing its shape will help much to melt ice.

[He just looks confused while haring the story. Bend water? What..how is that even possible?] ...boil it would be the safest procedure in my opinion.

It's one of the darkest part of this world I'm not sure if it's safe for a human to go alone and the temperatures are very low there hence the frozen water.

[engrishdetective]

I can probably find bottled water around here somewhere. I'm kind of exploring the junk piles right now anyway.

I don't see how it'd heal you, though. Don't you need medical attention for that?

Re: VIDEO;

[not_halfbaked]

Thank you, sir! That'd be really great, I need something portable to carry water around with me wherever I go....

In my world, we can manipulate the water in a--well, I know people have described it as weird magic before, even the great Sokka said so--so, sorta in a...magical way to heal?

[Korra's feeling awkward. How does she explain this? She tried to remember Sifu Katara's lectures.]

Okay, I use waterbending to have the water as this sorta, y'know, like a catalyst for redirecting energy paths through the body. And the human body is made up of a lot of water.

VIDEO;

[engrishdetective]

Well, I know that about humans -- I'm not a Cybertronian like most of the other robots here. Er, rather, that humans... they're mostly made of water. So you're able to use external water to help heal yourself?

Interesting technique. I'll let you know if I see anything, kiddo.

[Audio/Voice reply]

[dontasktrix]

[Slipstream replies, speaking American English, which the link devices probably translate as necessary. And, she's attempting to sound pleasant, which means she probably sounds irritated for the effort, and not pleasant at all.]

What would you give to find water?

Re: [Audio/Voice reply]

[not_halfbaked]

[OOC: The Link devices automatically translate, so I'm gonna assume her American English translates into Mandarin Chinese, which is what Korra could comprehend.]

Um...well, I offered to heal anyone with the water I get, but I can only do that with humans--um, people that already have a lot of water in them, skin and bones, that kind of thing....

I can earthbend, so I can potentially metalbend, and maybe that would work on you, if you have enough earth minerals in your armor...but I don't really know how to metalbend. [Korra looks embarassed. Then she blinks.] Um, I mentioned metalbending because it could probably fix up any dents or scrapes or tears in your armor, if you had any.

Anything else...I really don't know if I've got anything else to offer. I can firebend too--uh, manipulate fire as well. Though I don't see how that could be of use to you.

[Korra frowns, thinking hard.]

What would you want?

[Audio/Voice]

[dontasktrix]

[There's a pause. Slipstream then sighs, which might convey as something like a mechanical whirr or coo. Finally she speaks, with a definite irritated tone.]

Are you always so obtuse?

[video]

[deusexraf]

[OH GOSH THAT IS ANOTHER HUMAN Raf is excited! he's got a big grin on his face even if he seems a little confused]

What's 'bending'?

Re: [video]

[not_halfbaked]

[Korra's about to say 'the coolest thing ever!'--but then she remembers almost killing Tarrlok with firebending and Tarrlok taking control of her body with bloodbending and those innocent nonbenders being captured with earthbending.]

Um, in my world that's the name we give to controlling the four elements--water, earth, fire, and air.

[But then Korra grins when she gets a good look at Raf--he's beaming, and he doesn't look much older than Jinora, his dark brown hair and eyes reminding Korra of her too.]

My name's Korra. What's yours?

[Video]

[patokichi]

Greetings.

[This guy is a bit formal, but he has a really welcoming way about him.]

I have seen a few bottles of water here and there while I was searching for gas along with a few other things a human might find useful. A few cans of preserves, as well. I can backtrack and pick them up for you, if you would like.

And I uh- wasn not aware one could heal wounds using just water. How do you do it?

Re: [Video]

[not_halfbaked]

Wow, thank you!

I still haven't found gas--you were one of the guys looking for gas, right? You all look sorta similar....

Like I was saying to Gunmax--you know Gunmax, right--?

Well, I can bend or manipulate the water, sorta...ah, like magic, though it's rarely called that in my world. Anyway, I manipulate the water to act as a catalyst to redirect the flow of energy paths in the body--which is, y'know, has a lot of water in it.

[video]

[automobile_enthusiast]

Still haven't found any water, hm? [He sounds eminently concerned, which may or may not be a ruse.] I've been looking myself, but I'm afraid I haven't seen any. Let's hope it's not really as scarce as it seems to be.

Re: [video] [ooc: in which korra rambles, a lot]

[not_halfbaked]

(ooc: Korra's about to ramble and ask questions because she sorta imprinted on you, the first robot she's met, and she wants to share with someone and she thinks you'd have some answers and Korra can be just really talkative and rambling sometimes.)

Hey Knock Out!

[Smiles.]

Did you find anyone you know here? I've met some guys who've found people they know. And were you able to get yourself fixed up yet?

Thanks for keeping an eye out. I've gotten some leads though!--met a lot of people too:

Ratchet offered to let me use some of his water if I can demonstrate how I heal with it.

Slipstream and I have been having an...interesting talk that went way off topic, but she made some kinda vid message about ice where she's at. Do you know Slipstream? She was telling me about the factions you mentioned, called them 'Decepticons' and 'Autobots.' She's never heard of you, but I don't know if you've heard of her or what.

I asked Drift about the factions too, after he said he was an Autobot--I don't know if you know him, or not. Probably not, because he said he knew Wing, and that guy was new to us...though he said he knew Ratchet, but we weren't sure if that was the Ratchet I met.... Anyway, what he and Slipstream say seem to totally clash, but if they're on different sides, well...I guess that comes with the territory. But Drift said the war was over, and I thought it was still on? Though...apparently there are other worlds all over the place, so maybe it's only his world that's done with the war.

...So, were those the factions you were talking about? Decepticons and Autobots?

This motormouth guy--Drift said he was Blurr--mentioned some ice, too.

And this McCrane guy--not Cybertronian though, he's like a robot from another Earth--you're Cybertronian, right?--some of the really tall guys like Prima were explaining everything to me, and I think his siblings were explaining everything to everyone else, so who explained everything to you--?

Anyway, McCrane said he has peaches! Which wouldn't just be water, but food! I haven't eaten since getting he--

[Korra blinks. Looks a bit concerned now.]

Knock Out, what do you need for food? Or...fuel, if that's what you call it? Because McCrane and the other earth robot guys were looking for gasoline, and I don't actually know if Cybertronians need gas. If you're a Cybertronian. I think you are, you don't look like the other earth robots.

[herodecoded]

[Strange...he was not aware humans would be on this world.]

You humans disappoint me...

[WAY TO BE BLUNT DINOBOT.]

Re: [Video]

[not_halfbaked]

[OOC: Just LOL.]

[Korra blinks. Stares at him. She's more concerned with what she's seeing on the screen. He seems kinda.]

...I thought all you robot guys would be huge...?

/late to everything

[clay_doll]

[Fumbling with her device, she has yet to figure it out properly herself, but at least she manages to respond with a video so that she can speak to the teenager face to face in a sense. It is a relief for Annie to see a human on the network, confirming that there are definitely others. While still quiet, she seems a little more excited than shy.]

...I-I haven't seen any water. Just some ice.

But I really haven't been looking yet.

Re: /late to everything (OOC: No worries, welcome ^_^)

[not_halfbaked]

[Korra thinks the girl looks a little like Asami, with dark hair and pale skin, though the hair's way shorter, and she has no elegantly applied make-up.]

I can bend the ice back to water for you, if you want. [Smiles.] My stock's been growing, but I don't know how you are with water or food. Do you need anything, too?

Name's Korra, by the way. What's yours?
