2 ✶ video/action

[Video! Molly's sitting on a park bench in Cherrygrove, a Natu and a shiny Sentret fighting for space in her lap.]

I wanted to say thanks to everyone who helped me last time. I can't remember everyone's names, but thanks.

[There were a lot of you people. But she does appreciate it, which is why she's reaching out again.]

But ... okay, I have to ask a few things. I've heard people talk about badges, what are those?

And ... well, what are pokémon supposed to eat?

[Video tilts to show the pokémon she's concerned for, then back up to Molly's face.]

They've kind of been eating my food, but I don't know if that's good for them. But I haven't really found anything in those stores either, like bird food or ... dog food or anything like that. So if anyone could help me with that that'd be great.

[Action if anyone in Cherrygrove wants to bump into her!]

They're like pets, yeah, but I don't mind having so many. Or getting even more, I guess, since I keep doing that too.

But you can only have six with you, the rest of them go to some weird PC system, that you can access in the PokeCenter. They're completely safe there though, just like in pokéballs, and then you can go to those Centers to switch between the pokemon in your current team and the pokemon in that -- system.

It's not bad for them? Being in the computer?

_{[She's really just ... kind of curious. She can absolutely believe it's all fine, but it's still such a strange concept.]}

No, they're fine there and I'm not sure if they even notice how long they're there -- well, unless there's obvious changes like one season to another.

Anyway, we don't even have computers where I'm from, so I was very suspicious about that system at first. But it's fine, really.

[the most calming and gentle tone ever tbh.]

Really? Where are you from?

_{[Let's just latch right onto that cause Molly's not sure she can comprehend anywhere without computers. Huh.]}

From a tribe, that lives in the south pole.

Well, it's not really the same south pole as many here usually have, if you have Japan and Europe and other places in your map too, but still.

[let's start with that.]

_{[... gasp??? NO REALLY THIS IS INTERESTING]}

Wow, really? Doesn't it get super cold? How do you live there?

[Korra almost laughs, it's fun to see how interested she is.]

Yeah, really. It's really cold, but I'm used to it and it's never really bothered me anyway. [#quotingletitgo] It used to be just igloos and stuff like that, but nowadays and for a long time before I was even born, it's been rebuilt into a big city by us and Northern Water Tribe.

What's a Water Tribe?

_{[JUST TELL HER ALL THE THINGS]}

It's one of the four nations, that my world consists of. Well, they're, since there are two Water Tribes and a place for everyone to go too, but anyway. The others are Air Nomads, Earth Kingdom and Fire Nation. And the place for everyone to go is United Republic, so we can all meet there and live together in peace and harmony. [which... they're still working on but hey, getting there one day!]

And some people can control the element, that's in the name. We call it bending. So if you're from Water Tribes, you could be born as a waterbender. Fire Nation has firebenders, Air Nomads are airbenders and those from Earth Kingdom are earthbenders. And Republic City, the capital of United Republic, has people from all over the world and people, who can't bend anything.

_{[What she's taking away from this is a) there are only four or maybe five countries and the most important thing, b) ... there are powers.]

[So she latches onto that pretty quickly, visibly particularly interested by that bit.]}

Can you do that? Do you have water powers?

[Honestly she's from horrible canon point, where people are making her almost wish that she didn't have those powers and the world doesn't need her anymore...

BUT SHE'S GONNA BE TOTALLY COOL ABOUT THIS IN FRONT OF A KID AND NOT BRING THE SAD PART OF IT UP, SO]

I have water powers. I also have fire powers. And I have earth powers and air powers too, because I was born as the Avatar of my generation. That's our term for the person, who can master all of those powers and not just one of them like other benders.

_{[YEAH WHO CARES ABOUT THE SAD WHEN YOU CAN HAVE AWESOME.]

[Molly GAPING at you, Korra, and then giving the mother of all grins.]}

Wow! That's so cool!

I've seen someone fly once but I've never seen anyone who can do all of those things.

[... ouch, flying. that's relevant to canon point, but she just smiles at her excitement here.]

I can't literally fly freely like a bird in the sky, but I guess I have other skills to make up for it.

[because seriously, as if she needs any MORE skills.]

I thought people only had one type of power. Everybody I know who has one only has one.

_{[See also: why Molly is super impressed.]}

Well, most people in my home world have only one type of -- [W A I T!] You know people with some type of powers?

Yeah!

But most people keep them secret.

_{[But if Korra has powers too then it's alright to tell her, obviously.]}

Why? Aren't they a common thing back where you come from?

Well ... no.

_{[She pauses for a moment and looks more ... introspective, hesitant.]}

And if people find out, they get scared. Or mean.

[... oooops, well now Korra looks serious.] ... Sorry.

I guess there are a few skills like that back in my world too, or people being horrible with the usual style of bending too if they're evil people.

What do you do with them? The evil people?

_{[This seems to be a little personal to her, from the way she latches onto that. That, and every kid wants to hear about retribution.]}

... You know, I'm not really sure if we should be talking about that.

[Sorry, kind of personal for her too at this point on canon and considering she's talking with such a young kid, she feels bad for even mentioning it... and wow, she worries about you now darling.]

_{[... yeah, actually, on second thought. Molly nods, but still has that introspective look for a few moments.]}

Okay. Sorry.

... I'm Molly, by the way.

Don't worry about it. I'll tell you sometime later if you're still interested, okay?

[she's trying to not feel bad for not telling but really, if it's personal for both... not the best moment for it, especially not with the way how things are for Korra back home right now.]

Korra. It's really nice to meet you, Molly. [and considering how she's a little kid alone here... well, okay, honestly she says this to just about everyone.] And if you ever want to talk about anything, or have questions about anything, don't hesitate to give me a call anytime, okay?

Okay.

_{[She nods again. And at the offer, she brightens up a little when she nods again, offering Korra a small smile.]}

I will. Thanks Korra. It's nice to meet you too.

[It will be so much better to explain it later, when she won't be in danger to have a break down in the middle of it, a... ha....... ha.

She's smiling at this cute little girl now though!]

Good, it's never a bad idea to have as many friends as you can get here.
