[This is not where Dewey is supposed to be. Perhaps that isn't surprising; Dewey doesn't always stay where he's supposed to be. He's also alone, which is equally unsurprising, because his family is not always the most attentive as his brothers can easily drive his parents to stress-borne distraction. What is unusual is the place in which he's found himself; a city, expansive and impressive, the fountain and carousel in the center, all the streets filled with people, many of whom look like they came right out of fiction.

For his part, Dewey isn't fazed by being here alone. He's fine, this place looks amazing, and he has a new toy that he's poking at which is way cooler than anything he has back home - plus, it seems like it's actually new, and not broken. When you're fourth in line, legitimately new things are unusual. The feed activates, and he smiles.]

Hi. I'm Dewey.

[He's banking on his adorableness to help him out a bit here, but he's not really playing it up.]

I think I just got here. I'm not totally sure, because I'm not sure where here is, but it's definitely not where I was.

[Because he was just on a dude ranch in New Mexico. But he gives a tiny, easy shrug.]

But that's okay. Can somebody tell me where I can get something to eat? I want pizza. Or, if you can order delivery on this, I'll be on the carousel.

Okay, bye.

[And true to his word, he's off to the carousel.]

Yeah, I guess so. I did just get here.

[Shrug.]

I'm Dewey.

I'm Jinora.

[She looks around.]

Don't you have anyone from home with you?

No. I went to get some time on my own and then I wound up here. I'm not really sure how.

You'll have a lot of time on your own now.

How much is a lot?

All of it? Unless more people from where you're from come here.

Well... how long do people stay here?

A long time... years. I've only been here for seven months.

Only seven months?

[This is starting to become slightly troubling.]

Wow. This is probably going to be the most trouble I've ever been in.

Almost everyone I know has been here longer than me, but I don't think you need to worry about being in trouble when you go home. It's like a dream--time isn't the same at home as it is here. I hope that's true. If it's not, my mom and dad won't let me leave the island until I'm older than them.

Well, I guess that's good...

[Maybe.]

I'd say that my mom just would kill me, but I'm sure she'd think of something more lasting and creative than that.

[Hm.]

So what do you do around here?
