First Race - Action | Video

[tokennonbender]

Action:

[It was the sound of birds that woke Asami up, not an unusual sound, but not one she heard terribly often in her room at the Sato Mansion either. On the Air Temple Island though they were probably quite normal, she thought to herself as she shifted a bit, pressing her fingers into the grass under her hands and-

[What?]

[Her eyes opened with a start and she sat up, frowning at...the forest around her. Trees, and in the distance the sound of what might be people... The birds had all gone still at the sudden motion, but as she sat there, they began to chirp and tweet again, and the sound seemed to draw Asami from her shock. Where was she? How did she get here and what was she wearing?!]

[She plucked at the front of the white cotton sundress...not exactly terrible but not her style in any way, and a quick search of the area around her revealed her own clothing sitting in a pile on the ground nearby. Someone had undressed her, dressed her in this dress, dumped her in the woods of what looked like the earth kingdom and then...left her clothing for her? Because that made sense.]

[A quick search of the area revealed no one anywhere near the clearing she had woken up in, and once she was (relatively) satisfied, she scooped up her clothing and ducked behind a tree to change. But her attempt to remove the sundress had the fabric tugging on the strange, violet wings she hadn't noticed before, eliciting a startled noise of pain and surprise followed by a few minutes of examining them with her hands and what little she could see by turning her head. She had wings. What the hell was going on!?]

[A few minutes of changing and adjustment had her in her usual pants and the undershirt she typically wore beneath her coat, the back low enough that they were pressing lightly against the bottom of her wings but not enough to cause anything too uncomfortable. Except every time the fabric shifted the wings fluttered, which tickled and ached and that was...strange enough. She'd have to leave her jacket off until she found someone who could get whatever had happened to her reversed...]

[So she hung her jacket and the sundress over her arm as she started off towards the sounds she had heard.]

Video:

[It's a few hours later when she appears on the notebooks, sitting on the edge of a fountain in the town, the book resting on her knee. Someone she met has shown her the basics of it, and while she gets it, she's not really certain she actually understands it. So there is a view of her face leaning over, peering down at the page, her black hair hanging down and framing her for a moment before she...turns the notebook over suddenly, giving anyone watching a view of her pants-clad knee.]

...Is it working? Doesn't make any sense, it's just paper but...

[Her voice is muffled as she speaks to herself, and after a second the notebook flips back over and she frowns at the page again.]

I guess it is. Uhm. Hello! [She waves at the page for a moment then frowns, using her hand to brush her hair behind her ear before she forces it into her lap.] Assuming anyone can actually see this, I'm Asami Sato. I just...woke up in the woods, which apparently isn't as strange as I thought it was?

Right. Uh. Anyway.

People said I should say hello, so. That's what I'm doing. I feel kind of silly talking to a book but I suppose if it's doing what they said it would, I shouldn't...

Not that I can tell, of course.

[She picks up the book from her lap and gives it a little shake, which has her image bouncing around before she holds it a bit further away from her body, her head tilting to the side.]

...How do these work, anyway?

[ooc: Asami will be wandering around town looking at everything and trying to find a phone, so she can be most anywhere for runnings-into!]

Comments

[Action]

[savedtheworld]

[There may be some rustling from a nearby tree... followed by a teen monk jumping down from it and landing gracefully on his feet, with his arms full of apples. He's giggling to himself with a proud smirk on his face, not yet noticing the approaching future-woman.]

[Action]

[tokennonbender]

[Asami was only a few minutes into her walk towards downn when that happened, and she couldn't help but stop, taking a wary step backwards as she eyed the...air monk? Those were certainly air bender tattoos, but he was too old to be Tenzin's son, and the older kids were girls so...hmm.]

Excuse me? [She called out after a moment of hesitation, though she didn't approach yet, just watching a bit nervously.]

[Action]

[savedtheworld]

[That's a familiar voice. One he hasn't heard in months. It takes him a moment to place it, but that doesn't matter, because he blinks and turns to face the figure.]

Asami? [He says with a smile, not quite realizing yet that... she might not remember.]

[video]

[noitatnacni]

[Zatanna's inside a rather plain bedroom when she replies; being brand new herself, she hasn't exactly had time to decorate the place. But it also means she's got a good idea of where Asami's coming from.]

Apparently not. Kind of makes you wonder if it's a rite of passage or something. [Still, she grins on her end, looking down at the journal in her lap.] I'm Zatanna. Nice to meet you.

The books are definitely weird. About all I can tell you is that there is mystical force involved, but I don't think that's all there is to it.

[video]

[tokennonbender]

[Asami can't help but be a bit startled when someone actually appears on the page. Half of her was pretty sure she was nuts and just talking to normal paper but...there the other dark haired girl was. Well then.]

...So you woke up there too? I can't say it's the best way to ingratiate their new kidnappees...

Zatanna. Nice to meet you too. Mystic? Do you mean like spirits?

Re: [video]

[noitatnacni]

Tell me about it. And to top things off, I got rained on.

[It definitely hadn't left Zatanna overly cheerful and giddy about being here. Then again, nothing really has.]

Not really. More like magic. [Which is about the point Zatanna remembers the whole bit about different worlds Artemis shared with her earlier.] Does your home have magic?

[herotypical]

[ asami? hmm. why does that name sound familiar. buffy takes a moment to flip through her mental index of past new feathers -- wondering if she's perhaps met the girl before. or else just knows someone from the same somewhere. ]

It's amazing how fast you actually get used to the talking book thing. It might be one of the easier parts of this place to accept.

[ video ]

[tokennonbender]

Faster than the wings, anyway. [Okay, she could do this, she could...talk to random people on a magic book. Sure, why not.]

What could be weirder though?

[ video ]

[herotypical]

Hmm. Well -- have you found the barcode, yet?

[precipitous]

[ Korra was making her way back to the Avatar house with an armload of goodies from the bakery when she came across Asami. It took her a second to process the sight, like she was seeing a ghost, but Korra hadn't even thought about it being time for new people to start showing up again. But there was no mistaking the girl. Korra still wasn't entirely sure what to think about Asami, but that didn't matter right now. What mattered was that someone she knew from home was here. ]

Asami?

action;

[tokennonbender]

[After her run-in with aang, Asami had continued walking around the town, trying to get the hang of things, and making a mental note of where clothing stores were, since she was going to need to find things with holes for these wings. And get her jacket fixed so she could actually wear it.]

[She was looking into a store window when she heard that voice, and she wasn't quite sure she believed it as she saw Korra standing down the road.]

Korra? [Her eyes went a bit wide, and after a moment she couldn't help but grin. Someone else she knew was here.]

Korra! Hello!

action;

[precipitous]

[ Korra was a bit surprised that Asami seemed excited to see her, but she didn't pay it much mind at the moment. ]

Um - hey! [ She jogs over, armload of sweets and all. ] Have you...been here long?

voice;

[ex_tessen852]

Don't worry. I thought it was weird at first too, but you get used to it.

I'm Suki, by the way. Whom might you be?

voice;

[tokennonbender]

I'm not sure I want to get used to it.

[Suki...Another familiar name.]

I'm Asami Sato.

voice;

[ex_tessen852]

None of us really want to, but we kinda have to.

How much have you been told about this place?

[markofthebrave]

[Katara was walking through town when she did a double-take. That was a very familiar-looking girl sitting by the fountain.]

Asami?

[tokennonbender]

[Asami looked up in surprise when she heard her name, forcing her hair up out of her face as she frowns. That wasn't anyone she had spoken to...]

Ah...I'm sorry, have we met? Before, I assume. Avatar Aang says I was here before but...

[Well, she doesn't remember. Or entirely believe it.]

voice

[risingwinds]

[Ah, Ven remembers Asami from before! They spoke a few times in the past, but hearing that she doesn't remember isn't too surprising. He'll take it slow rather than bombard her with the fact that a total stranger knows her. It's easier that way.]

I've seen people argue about the journals before. Some say it's magic, others say it's some kinda technology... Maybe it's a bit of both!

Dunno if anyone's ever sat down to try and dissect these things.

[Probably because you can't just find extra journals lying around, and ripping 'em apart risks destroying them. Ah well.]

voice

[tokennonbender]

A girl I spoke to seems certain it's some kind of magic, but...how would you dissect it, it's just paper?

[weaponry]

[ There are very little Tenten deemed acceptable to wear, but, Luceti always seemed to have something that caught her interest. It was something that allowed to express the fact that she was a woman, but something that wouldn't get in the way on the battlefield.

Unfortunately for her, most of these clothes weren't just haphazardly collected from multiple worlds. Instead, they all belonged to a lady called Asami. Not that Tenten knew that, or what this lady even looked like which is going to create a pretty interesting situation as she walks right in front of her with one of her favorite outfits. No, Asami, she's not playing dress up! She just really likes your style... ]

[tokennonbender]

[Asami had found out where she'd be living, acquired an umbrella, and gone back out into the world to see what she could see. She was still dressed in her skirt/pants and white shirt from earlier, her jacket hanging pointlessly over her arm (maybe she would find someone who could add wing slots to it...) with her Umbrella resting on her shoulder.]

[She almost missed the clothing that went shooting by, on a girl she didn't recognize, but the color caught her attention and then...what the? She frowned for several seconds before she turned and hurried after the other girl.]

Hey! Excuse me? Where did you get those clothes?

action;

[breezing]

[ Whenever Asami eventually makes it back to House 56, Ikki can be found in the front yard, apparently coaching a rather large bird (pokemon) on how to play catch.

How she expects a bird to play catch is not readily apparent, but this doesn't seem likely to stop her from doing her level best to figure it out. ]

action;

[tokennonbender]

[Asami had been told that Ikki was there, but that wasn't the same as actually seeing the young air bender...playing with a giant bird in the front yard. Although given all the animals that air benders seemed to attract it should have hardly surprised her.]

Ikki!

[She couldn't hide the smile on her face as she saw the girl. Granted, she was a bit of a weird kid, but Asami was grateful for any friendly faces from home. Hopefully friendly.]

[video]

[isgorgeous]

[ Oh gosh, is that Asami? It is! It's kind of a relief to see Asami again, even if it means she's back in Luceti. ]

Asami! You're back!

[video]

[tokennonbender]

[Asami has gotten her explanations and met some people and looked around, so she's aware that Bolin is in the city, but knowing he's here and seeing him on the little square are very different things. She looks pretty happy.]

Bolin! [And then her face falls slightly because she keeps disappointing people.] I'm not 'back' though....I don't remember being here before, no matter what anyone else says.
