[voice]

Just what we needed: a further invasion. Keep it orderly. There is law enforcement here, and you don't get a free ride because you're new.

[action]

[ You can find Lin out and about doing depressingly mundane things like directing traffic and attempting (poorly) to calm worried temporary citizens. ]

[There's a grey kitten and he's chewing on a chair leg. He's making good progress through the metal.

While this may in fact be very interesting, there is also now a kitten on Lin's shoulder.]

[lawbender]

[ That may explain Lin's undignified shriek of surprise. She jumps in an attempt to dislodge kitten. ]

What in blazes is going on here?

[bamfingcats]

MEEP!!!!

[The kitten squeeks in surprise and hangs onto her tightly so not to go flying off.]

[Lin, have a young man who looks perfectly cowed by your statement. He's speaking in a whisper:]

I'm sorry, I'm not... really sure how I wound up here.

I don't even know how I got this communicator— I didn't steal it! But I'll gladly give it ba... [His voice is just too quiet! It drops off and the rest of the video is just him moving his lips while no discernible words can be made out.]

[Video]

[lawbender]

Speak up, man! I'm not arresting you for showing up. Just behave yourself while you're here.

[harmonicmotion]

[He makes a face at the shouting; he's juuust a bit on the timid and easily startled side, this one.]

Yes, Fathe— I mean, yes, ma'am!

[Oh, hey, that's impressively loud (for N).

Hopefully, the fact that he speaks too quickly when he's like this will cover up that gradeschool slip-up.]

[kisspokepoke]

[ Please help a poor, cold Ty Lee, tossed into this cruel city with nothing but a belly shirt (again). And even if Lin wasn't planning to, Ty Lee jumps in after Lin sees another person off. ]

Oh, can you help me, too?

[lawbender]

[ There's something familiar about this girl and her way of dress, but Lin has learned not to take anything for granted. It could be a complete coincidence. ]

What do you need, miss?

[obeymyrod]

I should get special privilege - because I'm sexy.

[lawbender]

[ She is Not Impressed. ] That's irrelevant.

video;

[obeymyrod]

It's completely relevant! Not everyone can pull off this sexy cut-off hoodie like I can!

[beardbender]

Lin!

[ fdjklajdskl holy crap a person I know. cue flailing! dignified flailing. like, hello, i see you. do you see me? what about now? ]

Lin, I-- oh.

You... seem to know what you're doing.

action;

[lawbender]

Tenzin! [ She's clearly almost as surprised to see him as he is to see her. ] What are you doing here?

action;

[beardbender]

I haven't the slightest idea.

[ what answer were you expecting lin, really ]

What about you?

[ifwisheswerefishes]

I didn't mean to invade. Are you sure you didn't invade us? That's usually how it works in my country.

[lawbender]

[ Wut. ]

Does this look like your homeworld?

[ifwisheswerefishes]

Does it look like yours?

[ oh burn. what now. ]

voice;

[regbroccoli]

Oh, well I-- I--

I didn't--

That is, I hadn't meant to invade, at all. I simply... well. I'm not sure, actually, about ah-- about how I got here. Exactly.

voice;

[lawbender]

That's the ten-thousand yuan question, I'm afraid. If we knew that, maybe we could send people back on purpose.

[meaningful_connections]

[ YES. LAW ENFORCEMENT. THE CORNERSTONE TO A FUNCTIONING-- okay even he doesn't really believe that but you can bet he heads down to the police station as soon as he hears that message, expecting to find some kind of thing going on and

oh.

it's just full of sad people. ]

How depressingly mundane.

[lawbender]

[ She gives him a sideways look, rather unimpressed. ] Law is the same everywhere.

[designedtoparty]

There's law enforcement here? I thought they'd finally given up on that one ages ago.

[lawbender]

[ A snort. ] All groups need some kind of peacekeeping. Here, even more so.

[howhappyarethey]

[Don't worry, Lin, you have help directing traffic!]

[lawbender]

[ She nods professionally. ] Thanks for your aid.
