[SUDDENLY, VIDEO]

[There's a squawk of terror as Sokka's wearable is turned on-- it's broadcasting video immediately, and its owner, now aged nine years old, is terrified of it.]

Wha-- why won't you come off?! No, no--

[He flinches as he hears something behind him and the camera swings wildly as he puts his arm down to see who's following him.It's gotta be the ( Read more... )

It's okay! It's a phone!

[Still better at computers than Sokka.]

[video] withanokka July 17 2011, 06:49:01 UTC

What's-- what's a phone?

[....sorry Motoko, he's. He's not from the future. At least you sound nice.]

[How do you not know this.]

It's something that lets you talk to people who aren't there with you.

We don't have anything like this in the Southern Water Tribe! Why-- why won't it come off?

[You're nice to him, he likes you. Kind of like a big sister.]

[That's funny, 'cause she's eight.]

Press it like this.

[She demonstrates, with a little fumbling. The fine motor control isn't there yet.]

But you shouldn't take it off. You might lose it.

[Smarter = older, at least to Sokka.]

Oh. So I can-- can I talk to my sister on it? Or my dad?

[video] electroniccrane July 17 2011, 07:35:42 UTC

Only if they have one, too.

[She's not really 100% on the idea she's not in Japan anymore and that placing interdimensional calls is trickier than international ones.]

[video] withanokka July 17 2011, 07:49:49 UTC

I don't think she does... I don't know how I got this one, really...

[video] electroniccrane July 17 2011, 16:04:59 UTC

Me either. It was just there.

It's a really cool smartphone, though. I never saw one like this before.

[Beep boop beep. She's gonna hate herself when she's back to normal for how badly she's screwing up the programming right now.]

[Why are you so casuaaaal? ;A; His voice drops to a conspiratorial low now that he thinks he's found someone he can trust.]

Do you know a lot about this place? Have you seen all these Fire Nation soldiers around?

[video] electroniccrane July 19 2011, 03:50:25 UTC

What's the Fire Nation?

[Must be in Europe or America or something.

Soldiers are okay with her. They're like police, only for when things are really important.]

[video] withanokka July 19 2011, 03:53:14 UTC

They're-- they're the bad guys! You know, the ones trying to take over the world, I just know they're the ones that took me away from home. Like they did mom!

[Which is why he's so scared-- that didn't really end well for his mother.]

[video] electroniccrane July 19 2011, 04:00:54 UTC

Nobody's trying to take over the world! Not for a long time!

[By which she means World War II.

Eight year old understanding of geopolitics: go.]

[video] withanokka July 19 2011, 04:02:25 UTC

But they attacked us a month ago! They took mom and Dad says their raids are getting worse everywhere! What-- what do you mean by a long time, like a couple of weeks?

[video] electroniccrane July 19 2011, 04:04:23 UTC

Like 50 years!

My country is safe. Are you sure it's not just a--a local conflict?

[That last has the sound of someone repeating something they don't quite understand.]
