[Her face is so achingly hopeful]

Guys, if you're out there... find me. No, wait, I'll find you. Just don't go anywhere.

[action]
[She and Naga will be out and about in the City, looking desperately for any sign of her friends. Threadjacking encouraged!]

Korra?

[ Asami has been blindsided and confused quite a bit these past couple of months, but this circumstance takes the cake. Something tells her the device in her hands will give her answers, or maybe just the act of focusing on one thing will ground her bearings enough to be able to handle the situation. It's with a dry throat and many tucks of hair behind her ear that she flips through the functions of the device...

And she hardly hears Korra, only really sees her, before she blurts out her name: ]

Korra?

action;

[cadet]

[ that is the most interesting... whatever it is she's ever seen! she means naga, and she can't quite put a label on it, being that she's only visited a zoo on earth once and is not specializing in native earth fauna. (is that thing even from earth?) ]

[A pale woman dressed in remarkably outdated clothing meanders up to Korra and Naga.

And growls at Naga. Grr.]

[video]

[anatural]

Asami!

[The sight of her friend is a knife in her gut. The last time she saw Asami...

No. Don't think about that.]

Where are you?

action;

[anatural]

[Korra and Naga are heading towards Asami -- the Asami she saw on the network -- when Naga suddenly stops and veers in a totally different direction.]

Naga! Where are you --

[And then there she is. Korra tumbles off of Naga and tackles her friend.]

[video]

[sato_heiress]

[This is easily the weirdest thing that has ever happened to her. Not the most frightening, or the most upsetting, but definitely the weirdest. She gives Korra a little smile, feigning confidence the best she can.] That's what I was wondering.

action;

[anatural]

[What. The. Fuck? Korra just gapes at this crazy lady.

But Naga speaks Dru's language, and she snarls back, a warning, predator to predator. Back off.]

[video]

[anatural]

You don't recognize anything around you?

[But....Asami's been here before.]

[Drusilla holds a finger to her lips and addresses Naga.] I haven't got anything for you. Shh.

[To Korra:] The King of wands is knocking, but you mustn't open the door too quickly.

action;

[anatural]

[blink. blink. blink.]

Who's knocking?

action;

[anatural]

[Gaila isn't like anything Korra and Naga have ever seen either. Naga stops and shoves her nose at the young woman, trying to figure out what she is, because she clearly doesn't smell human.]

[video]

[sato_heiress]

Why would I? [Asami wonders why Korra isn't also freaking out more. It hasn't been long since she saw her friend last; the fact that she seems to be reacting to all of this with anything besides shock puzzles her.] I've never seen any of this before.

action;

[chittybang]

Kor—ahmph!

[ That's all she can say because Korra's shoulder is all up on her mouth right now. Asami's arms latch around her friend for a moment of security, then she clears her throat when she releases. ]

I'm... glad to see you too. Are you okay?

[injected]

See, now that's the way to do it. Oughta tear this bloody city apart.

[patiently] The King. You've been looking in all the wrong places but now he's found you. It's bad manners to keep him waiting.

[video]

[anatural]

[confused] Yes you have. You lived here for like a whole three months.

[video]

[sato_heiress]

I think I would remember that.

[anatural]

[Uuuuuuuh.....okay.]

Who are you?

[injected]

Me? Bit'f a nobody, me. Who're you?

action;

[anatural]

[No, not really. But Asami's here and warm and alive, and every breath helps clear away the memory of the ghoul with Asami's face that she had killed.]

Yeah, I'm fine. [Come on, Korra, get it together.] Dave's gone. [She vaguely remembers the two of them being friends when Asami was here last.]

[video]

[anatural]

I'm serious! You lived here with me and Mako and Bolin, and you worked in a garage and were friends with this guy name Dave or something.

action;

[anatural]

Who's "the King"? [The Earth King? She hasn't been looking for him...]

[video]

[sato_heiress]

[Asami absently pulls at her hair while she tries to focus. None of this seemed at all familiar. But Korra seemed convinced. And Korra was the Avatar, which made her the best authority Asami could think of on whatever it was that was happening.] Did I... forget? [The hair fidgeting increases a little as she tries to make herself focus on remembering any of this. But try as she might, she can't past the idea that she was in Republic City yesterday.] Can that happen here?

action;

[no_cakes_today]

You don't know, do you?

[She seems saddened by this.]

And your Star could burn so brightly, too.
