I guess I'd be right in assuming I'm not the only one who was brought here...lacking something?

All of my weapons are missing. Eir said that not everything could be teleported here with us.

[Which is really dumb, if you ask him.]

What about you?

[memoriesinsmoke]

Not a weapon so much as an ability. I used to be able to create and manipulate fire, and now I can't.

[withanokka]

You're a firebender?

[EEP. That could either be really good or really bad. Her voice doesn't sound like Azula's, though...]

So, uh... where're you from?

ghdghdsfh SORRY messed up last tag. 8D;;;;

[memoriesinsmoke]

[Liz isn't familiar with the term 'firebender', but she's guessing it's another way of saying 'firestarter.']

I'm pyrokinetic, if that's what you mean.

I'm with the B.P.R.D.

No worries!

[withanokka]

.....aaaaaaand the BPRD is what, exactly?

[A SUPER-SECRET FIREBENDER ORGANIZATION?!]

<333

[memoriesinsmoke]

Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense.

[It...really isn't a big deal name dropping her organization. Considering people called in for their help all the time, and that Hellboy is known as one of the greatest paranormal investigators there is.

Of course, Liz won't be all that surprised if Sokka doesn't know what that is. Teleported to another dimension or country - can't really expect everyone or even anyone else there to know what's going on where she's from.]

[withanokka]

.....I'm guessing that has nothing to do with the Fire Nation, then.

[Which is good! Though she still doesn't sound.... entirely friendly.]

[memoriesinsmoke]

[It's not your fault, Sokka. Liz just...isn't terribly social. Blame it on accidentally killing her family and 29 other people when she was 11.]

Not as far as I know. The Bureau's main goal is to keep track of paranormal activity across the world.

[withanokka]

[..........yeah, even Zuko's a better Firebender than that.]

What, like Spirit World craziness?

[memoriesinsmoke]

[:|b]

More or less, although it isn't strictly that.

[withanokka]

So, where are you from? I'm guessing you're not from the place I call home, if you don't know about the Fire Nation...

[memoriesinsmoke]

Like I said, I'm with the Bureau. [Sorry, Sokka, but Liz doesn't know you at all. She's not about to get terribly specific about the details of her life.]

[withanokka]

....right. [He pinches the bridge of his nose.]

But, you said you were missing your abilities, too? My friend Zuko's a firebender, he can't bend or anything. Aaaaand he's not happy about it.

[memoriesinsmoke]

[...That actually sounds kind of interesting, if she's right in assuming that "firebender" is his world's way of describing someone who's pyrokinetic.]

So, he can control fire, too?

[withanokka]

[Sokka nods, before remembering that she can't see him.]

Yeah. I guess... if you're not from my world, does that mean you don't know about bending?

[The whole idea that she wouldn't know is so strange...]

[memoriesinsmoke]

I wouldn't think so.

Normally, I can create and control fire, and it can't burn me, either. [It just burns everybody else.]

I'm guessing firebending is something like that?
