[ When the feed starts, there's obviously some fiddling going on--mostly it's just different shades of blue on the screen. The person handling the tablet doesn't seem to really know how to make heads or tails of it. A soft 'snowballs' is uttered, as if it were a curse.

Katara's face eventually enters the frame--upside down, until she realizes her mistake and flips it so she's correctly centered and displayed. The fountain is behind her, and the running water burbles gently in the background. ]

Hello! I'm Katara. I've met a lot of new people since I came here, but I know there are others that I haven't met yet, and the Vision explained that I could talk to people with this piece of glass, so I thought I'd do that and introduce myself.

[ She glances away for a second, considering what to say. ]

I'm from the Southern Water Tribe, which is at the South Pole. I left home about a year ago, and have been traveling the world since then with my brother and our friends. This is us together. [Here she holds up a crayon drawing of herself and her friends on a six-legged creature. She's obviously very proud. ]



That's Aang and my brother Sokka, then me and Toph and Suki and Zuko. Appa is the sky bison, and the flying lemur is Momo.

I'm a master waterbender, which means I can use my chi to control water. Like this! [ With a quick set of hand gestures, Katara pulls a little jet of water from the fountain and streams it around for a bit before putting it back. ] I can also use my bending to heal injuries! So if you get hurt, let me help you.

That's all I can think of for now. Bye!

[ It's another few moments of fumbling, but Katara finally manages to turn the feed off. ]

Drift Fleet? I've never heard of it, sorry.

[ The way he phrases the question is interesting, though. ]

Did you know someone who looked like me?

[tempredmental]

Yeah. She wasn't there long. And, she did call herself Katara, too.

Also, I knew Sokka. He had been in the Fleet, too.

[waterwhip]

That... is a weird coincidence. Um, how much did she look like me, exactly?

[ A beat. ]

Wait, you know my brother?!

[tempredmental]

Pretty similar. She was older, though, I think. She mentioned having been in some place other than her home before arriving in the Fleet, but I don't remember the name.

[He nodded at her question.]

Yeah. He was one of the first people I met in the Fleet that wasn't from my own world. He's a good guy.

[waterwhip]

[ It would be unbelievable if... well, if things here weren't so strange. Somehow, she can't find it in her to disbelieve him. ]

So.... this girl... she was me, wasn't she. You know me, but I don't know you. What's your name? Did she--did I tell you about my past? Did she know if Aang beat the Fire Lord?

[ That's a lot, sorry, but she can't help her curiosity. How does she remember none of that if it really happened? ]

Sokka is a good guy, even if he tells bad jokes. I miss him so much...

[tempredmental]

We didn't talk an awful lot. I mostly spent time with Sokka, even with those bad jokes.

[Keith shrugged a little.]

I'm Keith.
