WATER [Open to all players!]
(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.]

Re: [video]
Oh.... [Spirits, that did not sound good. But.]...well, you're back on track now, that's good.
...What does your Transformation cog do? What does it transform? [OOC: I don't think Korra's had robot transformation exactly explained to her yet.]
[The second coin dropped for Korra.]
Uh, Drift, did you...did you say what Wing looked like? Because I--ha-- [she gives a nervous and supremely nervous chuckle]--I think I met him once already.... [Spirits, this was awkward!] And he looked...fine, not dead. [How does that work. Could the Lambda thing have saved him, like it apparently did with Blurr?]
[Korra nods, slowly.] I think I get that.
[OOC: I really want to interact with an Amon here.~]
[video]
I hope. Or I was on track.
Now I'm here. [And leaky. Kind of hard to blaze a path of righteousness like this.]
[But it won't stop him from trying.]
....? [For a moment Drift is just as confused. How do you not know....? Oh right. Humans. And humans with magic. He's pretty sure he wouldn't understand her bending any more than she did this.]
It changes us. Each of us has two modes--some more. [Sixshot had...uh...six, perhaps unsurprisingly.] There's a robot, like this, [thumbpoint] then there's an alternate. Most of the time it's a vehicle.
[Though rumor had it there was a giant datastick on the Lost Light.]
Like...[Oh hell, he doesn't have anything to lose. He transforms, folding up, plates shifting, until she sees, instead of the leaky-opticked robot, a rust-smeared hovercar.] ....this.
Wing? I don't think I said. About my height. White and red, gold optics, big audial flares on his helm. Oh. And big sword.
[Drift shifts back, because maybe talking to a car was weird to her.]
I exposed him to the plague since he's been here. He might not be showing symptoms yet.
[A bitter snort.] I got him killed before; I really don't want to do it again.
((OOC: I really hope we get one!!))
Re: [video]
[Korra gapes at his transformation, first she's seen directly.]
WOWthatissocool!
[Then she blinks. Tilts her head.]
That doesn't hurt, does it? Even with you being sick and all? I was told some robot guys could combine, and that it didn't hurt them.
That's him! I definitely met him with Knock Out earlier.
Has Wing seen Ratchet?
(OOC: Yes, it would be great! Though Korra's developing here, I think she'd still be terrified of him at first, even more so, because her first thought will be, 'is he in his remove all bending mindset still,' since Korra is relying on that even more in this strange new world with huge robots all around her. Though she's slowly finding allies, to suddenly be left without those powers would make her feel even more vulnerable than in canon.)
[video]
[Aha! There it is. The bright side. It's a very small bright side. More like a bright facet or something. But it's there!]
[Drift shakes his head. He's a little weirded out at her reaction--it's not very cool at all to him, and ground frames aren't exciting.]
No. It doesn't hurt. But where I'm from, the combining....isn't like that.
[Monstructor had been an experiment in combiner technology. And a disaster on all counts.]
[A shrug.] I don't know Knock Out. Another jet?
[Wing's certainly been sociable. Then again, that was Wing.] I don't know. We only spoke once.
[He makes a face. Apparently it didn't go so well.]
((ooc: I have my fingers crossed!!))
Re: [video]
...Sorry....
[What else can she say? Constantly putting her foot in her mouth.]
So your people could combine too. [Korra notices his hesitation. She admits.] It didn't sound that...great, to me....
[Korra considers.] I don't think so. He didn't have wings. Do all the guys who change into jets have wings when they're in a body with legs?
[Korra notices his face. Adds kinda awkwardly and trying to distract.]
Well, Ratchet was offering to look at everyone all doctor-like, maybe he can help Wing.
(OOC: Me too!)
[video]wow we have talked for a while!! o_O
It was a joke?
[Yeah, he maybe needs more practice before unleashing his sense of humor on the unsuspecting world.]
Where I'm from, a scientist was determined to make the concept work. Rumor had it, the mechs he used weren't exactly volunteers.
But this, transformation, that's natural. That's what we do, what we are. Like your bending.
[Except with cooler sound effects.]
[Maybe. ]
[He has no idea what waterbending sounds like.]
It depends. Some have big fixed wing panels. [Like Starscream.] Some were smaller. Wing's are flat against his back.
But if Wing's with him, he's probably nice.
[Because sure, Wing has no track record at all of trusting untrustworthy people. Nope. None.]
I hope so. Wing deserves to be happy. He's been through...enough at my hands.
Re: [video] I know, should we end soon? like just have the characters say 'bye, see you later?'
[Korra looks embarrassed. OOC: Socially inept dorks unite!]
I remember us all splitting up, actually. But yeah, Knock Out's cool. [OOC: Oh still naive Korra, but Knock Out's been nothing but civil to her, and he was the first sentient robot she ever met here, she's kinda imprinted on him in a way.]
[video] Ijust don't want to bog you down and keep you from NEW CR, ya know?
[He gives an easy shrug. He's the last one to hold a grudge against social awkwardness.]
Knock Out. I'll remember that. [He smiles.] And if you need, uh, anything you think I can do, please comm.
Re: [video] CR? I don't want to bog you down either
