[Have a confused seventeen year old girl. Why don’t you ask her if there’s tachyon assimilators and self integrated nano-replicators while you’re at it Angel, GOSH.]

A what? New U?

[4n631]

Oh yeah. It's a machine that stores well; everything that is "you". So if you die before your time it can regenerate you from the stored data [Angel you are going to melt people's brain functions. Stop. Now.]

[alphatar]

…Nope, I didn’t even get half of that. You lost me after “stores”. If there is anything like that I wouldn’t even have the slightest clue what it was if it slapped me in the face. There’s a Stark Industries and I think they deal with that kind of stuff, but I’ve never been there so I have no idea. [Advanced technology like that isn’t her cup of tea. Tea is her cup of tea.]

Seriously, I just fish for a living. [And she’s so proud she got a job doing that.]

[4n631]

Stark? Doesn't sound familiar to me. How do you fish?

[alphatar]

You're kidding? [Barely a beat.] Nope, take that back. You're probably seriously asking.

Okay, so generally fishing is just attaching a strong string to a wooden pole with a hook covered in bait. You cast the string into the water, hook a fish biting the bait.

[She shrugs.] I do it a different way, but that's generally the idea.

[4n631]

Hm. Sounds simple enough. I wonder if you could catch Threshers that way...

[there's a small pause]

You do it differently? Like how? Sniper Rifle? [Angel, Korra is not Mordecai.]

[alphatar]

Threshers? I don't think I'd want to catch anything with a name like that. [Whatever the heck it is.]

No, no rifles. [She can't help but laugh at that thought.] I use waterbending to catch fish. Basically I control water and just make it do the work for me. [Cheating, but she won't call it that.]

[4n631]

[she looks like she's geared up to ask that dreaded 'bending' question, but she doesn't pull the trigger on that just yet]

You-- control water? I don't think I've heard of that before. There are people who can work with Fire, Acid, and Electricity (and more recently Slag) where I come from. hm Now that I think about it I guess Acid counts as a liquid at least.

[alphatar]

[Dat question. OMG. FECK.]

Okay, Acid isn't something I've ever even considered bending, but I don't think I'd ever want to. Fire sure, and lighting/electricity fall under that so I can see that. Slag?

[4n631]

Slad is like [she moves her hands awkwardly as she tries to come up with an adequate description] It's this semi-solid substance left over from the processing of eridium. Like; a toxic sludge that makes things that come in contact with it weaker and easier to kill.

[alphatar]

Eridium? [She holds up her hands.] Never mind, you can tell me all about it on the turtle.

[Her face is half confusion half repulsion.] What is it with everything being about killing where your from? No offense and present company excluded. [She hopes.]

[4n631]

It's a really harsh planet. The people are crazy and the animals are dangerous. I think it's one of those situations where you have to either become at least a little desensitized or you'll totally loose it-- which just leads to joining the rest of the crazies [she sighs] The rest of the galaxy is better.

[alphatar]

Wow. That sounds awful. [Never has Korra had more appreciation for her world than now. Well, aside from her first day on Tu Vishan.] How the heck did you get through all that? You seem pretty normal to me. [Hairstyle aside.]

[4n631]

I well-- I had my own problems. [all of them named Handsome Jack] You know; locked in a room with no face to face contact with the outside world and that sort of thing [don't forget about being forced to betray your friends and everyone else on the planet]

[alphatar]

Yeah, that certainly qualifies as a problem. At least you won’t have to worry about that in Keeliai, just everything else instead. [That’s a fair trade, right?]

[4n631]

Well it will definitely be a new experience.
