[Korra's looking and sounding much more like herself when she finally returns to the network. She's leaning against a tree trunk, and a pair of chubby Pikachu are dozing on either side of her.]

So...I picked up these guys when they were all over the place a while ago. They're pretty much the laziest Pokemon I've ever met. I didn't even mean to catch them, they just ate a bunch of my poketreats and fell asleep on my sleeping bag and didn't leave. I call'em Tunnu and Orki. I don't know if they're twins, but they might as well be.

Uh...sorry I never called anybody back last month. Thanks for saying all those nice things, though. I'm okay. I got a lot of training done, saw some more of this world. It was good.

[There had been a lot of meditating and a lot of deep thinking, too. She'd needed that little break.]

Oh, and it looks like I'm gonna need someone else to help me with the Pokemon Games. My friend I was doing it with went home. So if anybody's good with organizing, that'd be great. I think I want to get that started.

[ Oh no, they're too cute... ]

They don't seem to regret the choice choice to stay with you. They're adorable, too.

[bent_the_world]

Why would they? They get poketreats and sleep all day in my backpack, this is probably a dream come true for them.

They are pretty cute.

[Korra pokes Tunnu, who makes a soft 'pika' in her sleep and rolls over.]

[shotlocking]

[ It's practically a cute overload here. Aqua's making a note to see if she can find one of these little guys... ]

It must be nice--they get spoiled all day, and their trainers absolutely adore them. At least, I can only speak for myself--but it seems that way for most everyone I've spoken with.

[ Like the little Pumpkaboo at her side, peeking up at the gear. Hello there! ]

[bent_the_world]

I dunno if I adore these two... maybe if they start being useful in battles.

[shotlocking]

Even if they don't wish to battle, I'm sure they'll be valuable in some way--even if it's just being cute.

[monge]

MONGE!! Look at them, they're so cute, zura~!

[Apparently telling people how cute their Pokemon are is all Komasan uses the 'gear for anymore.]

Oh...I bet they're so soft, you must be so comfy at night, zuraa~

[bent_the_world]

Yeah, they're pretty cute. It's a defense mechanism. They're pretty useless for battles, they don't have any interest.

Ha, you should see my Growlithe...

[monge]

[Oops, that pinged him pretty hard.]

I would love to see your Growlithe, zura.

[bent_the_world]

Hey Iqniq! Get your fluff over here!

[Korra calls off-screen to her Growlithe, who abandons bothering her Sentret and bounds into frame. He's exceptionally fluffy. And veryy squat and thick.]

This guy was my starter!

[yanginthere]

[ As one of those respondents, Yang notices the difference immediately, and her own spirit is lifted as a result. She, herself, isn't nearly as bruised up as when she made that call too (if that was even seen). ]

It sounds like you needed it, so no sweat if you couldn't answer.

What kind of games is it you need help with?

[bent_the_world]

Well, my friend Twilight Sparkle and I thought it'd be great if trainers had a way to show off their skills and Pokemon without battling. Like endurance contests and races and talent competitions.

Uh, we had a list, but she had it...

[yanginthere]

Ohh, I get it. It sounds like fun!

Hmm, I'm still new to the whole Pokemon thing but Weiss and I did handle organizing our last school dance back home [ Yang smiled proudly. ] We did a pretty good job of it, too.

[bent_the_world]

Yeah! Uh, I think someone mentioned a maze, too. It'd be great to have some help.

...I wonder if Pokemon can dance....

[bylight]

[It had been a while, and Lightning didn't know what to say the last time Korra was on the network... dealing with that kind of loss was different than losing a family member.

Let's start with something lighthearted.]

Interesting names. I take it they mean something appropriate for those two where you're from?

[bent_the_world]

Oh, yeah. They're just pet names for chubby babies.

[bylight]

[That's appropriate.]

Are you going to plan on at least trying to see if you can train them?

[bent_the_world]

I've been trying! They just want to sleep. And eat. I swear I saw one of them stuff treats in the other's mouth while the other one was sleeping...

I offered my help for things to do with music, if we're talking about the same person. The offer still stands.

[bent_the_world]

Twilight Sparkle? That would be great. This needs all the help it can get!

text;

[ladywithnovoice]

That's right. I'm not sure what else I could help out with besides judging, but let me know if you need anything. I think she was working on where to get the Games set up, right?

text;

[bent_the_world]

That's still a big help!

We were thinking Mahogany, I'm headed to check it out soon.

[foolishwren]

--aw, man, what?

That... sucks, dude, I'm sorry.

_{[She remembers chatting with Korra a couple of times about the games, doing brainstorming and such-- must be talking about Twilight.]}

I can't rightfully claim to be good at organizing-- ... anything, really, but I'll still help, y'know, if I can.

[Video]

[bent_the_world]

Yeah, it does.

Thanks. I figure...with enough people, we're bound to get something going.

[Video]

[foolishwren]

There's gotta be other people who're interested in this kind of thing-- not everybody battles.

Any other bites yet?

[Video]

[bent_the_world]

That's what I'm hoping.

Sort of! So...here's hoping.
