☾ FIRST [video/action]
[video]
[ Oh, look! A new video entry. It starts up and it's… upside down. Actually it's more like the picture is twirling, so even though it starts upside down it's slowly turning until it's right-side up for a moment, revealing a teenage girl staring at it suspiciously before the slow spinning starts up again as she turns the journal around in her hands. ]
If this really is a camera it's the smallest one I've ever seen. [ She finally comments, stopping the spinning so that she is sideways on the screen. ] And what good is it even supposed to do, anyway?! Is this some kind of mover thing? Can anyone see me? Can anyone-
[ The video suddenly freezes as if she'd paused it, then starts up again. ] -like I'm talking to a book. Great. I get kidnapped or lost or whatever and I'm talking to a book. This is just- [ It pauses for a few seconds again. ] -I can't believe- [ Pause. ] -who even- [ Pause. Finally after what seems like a longer pause the video finally starts playing again and Korra is finally facing the right way with the camera. She looks pretty panicked. ]
Okay, this book is weird. It started talking to me and there's all sorts of writing but why do I even have this? Who even are you people writing in here? This is ridiculous. I'm leaving. ...As soon as I find the exit.
[action]
[ Korra's managed to find her way to the actual village now, still wearing the white shirt and pants she arrived in but a little more focused and less panicked. This wasn't the weirdest thing that's ever happened to her after all! Well, it probably wasn't anyway, but she wasn't about to sit around comparing them. She'd woken up in a forest with a weird book and nothing else, not even her own clothing let alone an explanation. Flipping through the pages of the book had given her a few details (although not as many as there could have been considering she wasn't exactly patient enough to sit around and read thoroughly at the moment) but really the BEST way to figure something out was to get up and out and see what it was with your own eyes.
Sometimes, anyway.
Seeing buildings had been a huge relief but the closer she got to them the more she found herself pausing. Of course part of her wanted to run right in and start demanding answers. The biggest part, really. But there was another, much smaller part that was telling her to be cautious and patient about the situation to avoid doing anything reckless.
That part sounded an awful lot like Tenzin.
Sure, she wasn't the best at taking his advice back home but in this situation she had to grudgingly admit that maybe she should at least start out cautious. Which is why she's now slowly peeking around a building, one hand against the wall and the other held up as if expecting a fight at any second- ]

Re: Action
Uh, hello? Not to interrupt or anything, but… [ Wait a second. Sure, he was a little less white in hair and beard but that was definitely someone she knew. ] Iroh! [ Oh THANK YOU UNIVERSE, everything was starting to make sense! This must be the Spirit World. How she got here she has no idea but it explained some things. ]
It's so good to see you! Like, seriously good to see you. I am so lost.
Action
Ah, hello Korra. It is good to see you as well.
[He smiles, they hadn't talked a great deal when she was here before, but it was nice to see a familiar face]
Re: Action
You're… playing the Tsungi Horn. [ As if she's only now really noticed it. ]
Action
Yes. Have you talked to anyone else since you arrived?
[He looks down at the instrument]
Ah, yes! I am quite fond of it myself. Zuko is actually quite accomplished on it as well, though he is a rather reluctant player.
Action
[ But she's distracted by the mental image she tries to creat of Zuko playing. ] Lord Zuko? No one ever mentioned his… musical talents to me. I gotta say, I can't really picture it.
Action
[Iroh smiles]
That is not so surprising. My nephew has never been one to broadcast such things.

[Iroh chuckles]
I was fortunate enough to find it in the item shop, what a treat!
Action
There are shops and everything. That just sounds too… normal.
Action
[He gives her a bit of a weird look]
Besides my nephew is far too young to be even thinking about retirement.
Action
Action
Far closer to your age than mine.
Action
Lord Zuko, my age! And playing the Tsungi Horn. See, uh, it's actually the opposite where I'm from.
Action
[Bit of a side glance]
So how is it that you know me, if I only recall meeting you within Luceti?
Action
Actually, where I'm from you've been a big help to me. [ She's not really sure what she should say (TIMELINES, MAN.) so she settles for vague. ] You helped me remember to look for the light in the darkness.
Action
[It was after all not her fault she was brought here]
Well, I am glad I was able to be of service at least.
[He will leave it at that for the time being]
Action
I don't suppose you uh, have any secret wisdom to be of service in getting out of here, do you? [ Hey, it was worth a shot. ]
