re_alignment | 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.]

There's...I've seen sorta of robots like you before, but we called them mech tanks, and they didn't really have faces, but they did have legs and arms--but they were sorta more like a different shaped Satomobile.

[Korra's eyes dart around nervously, wondering if she's being offensive at all.]

Anyway, they were built by humans, and I...I was just wondering outloud if they could've made someone like you, too.

How come you didn't meet Toudou right away?

Satomobile. Some kind of car model? [He shrugs.] Ah, like a vehicle?

Well, those aren't intelligent robots. My friends and I are self-aware, though I guess that's pretty obvious. We're a bit more special due to certain circumstances. Not much like those mech tanks you talked about.

I don't know. Doesn't sound like they made... other robots like me. Self-aware and feeling.

I was constructed on another country. He only designed me. After that, I was stationed somewhere else unlike almost all the other BP models. It was awhile before I met the others.

It's another name for our cars, yeah.

How did they make you, uh, self-aware?

BP model?

Hmm. [What the heck. Korra seems like a nice kid; he doesn't see the harm in sharing.]

BP model -- that's the kind of robot that McCrane, Deckerd, and I are. We're self-aware because... well, Deckerd was the first of us. He gained emotions after he interacted with Yuuta, who became our boss. Yuuta helped him think like a normal human.

After that, every BP model was based on Deckerd, so we all have a personality.

So are you guys all like brothers then?

Not really the way I'd look at it. Technically all humans are related, but would you call your boyfriend your cousin or brother?

[Korra turns red at 'boyfriend,' thinking of Mako for a flash, and even that time with Bolin, and Asami's there somewhere too.]

Um, no, I don't think so.

[Korra blinks.]

Uh, when you bring that up, are you dating anyone? Do you guys have significant others too?

[Briefly, Gunmax smirks in amusement at Korra's blushing, but he stops and pauses at the question.]

...Well, the closest I can say is that one of our other team members sort of has a girlfriend, but she's human. I'm not really sure how McCrane feels about Seia, either.

We get those feelings, but not many of us are dating, if that's what you're wondering.

[His tone quickly becomes more teasing.] Why? Are you interested? [Completely not serious.]

Huh, so you guys can fall for someone who's not your own kind...?

Ah ha, no, I'm not much for the dating game...they tend to turn into weird triangles or squares....

(OOC: I couldn't resist a slam against canon love triangles/squares.)

I don't see why not. Our hearts aren't so different from a human's.

[He laughs quietly.] I can understand that, I guess. It's not much my thing, either.

Your hearts...do you guys literally have--?

[Korra frowns. That didn't sound right. Kind of offensive. But she can't find anything else to say--she's genuinely curious. The girl can be a bit literal-minded.]

Not like the organ, but... more like, the thing you feel with. Immaterial. You feel emotions with your heart too, right?

Oh, that's what you mean, feelings!

Yeah, I guess we do, though we sorta think of our soul and spirit too. Like, I've been told that even when our heart stops--when we, y'know, die--we still feel, we just move into another world.

[Korra frowns.]

Though I've been told we don't go to the Spirt Spirit World. Like, there's supposed to be a separate place for only the dead.

(OOC: More headcanon LoK time.)

Not sure much about this Spirit World, but I guess the closest comparison I have is our hearts are like a soul.

Though I'm not really sure what happens to us if we die. [Helpless smile.] I try not to think about it.

GAH, sorry, didn't mean to bring that up--!

...Though, y'know, you guys feel, you have a soul, if you...y'know...you'd pass into that other world too.

Nice of you to say, actually. A lot of humans, even in our own world, don't recognize the fact that we think and feel.

Just like a person.

It's really new to me, but it seems pretty obvious.

[She crosses her arms.]

The only thing in my world that's like you is a mech tank, and you're totally different from that- those were just like Satomobiles for people to pilot.

Glad it clicks so easily for you.

Well, I can definitely assure you, we pilot ourselves. But I'm honestly glad you can see us as individuals.
