[Korra and Naga are occupying the area of the lobby in front of the fire place. There's totally a fire place. The latter is curled up on the carpet in front of it with the former leaning against her, journal in hand. She flips a few pages, and a sigh is caught by the book.]

Some people have been here for a while, over a year. Physical aging doesn't happen, but we grow in other ways, right? Whether we want to or not, it happens. What about obstacles you had back home? Can those be conquered here, too? I don't mean finally cooking a dish perfectly or anything like that. More like... doing something you've been unable to when it's something you're supposed to be able to accomplish.

It's a weird question, but I'm curious.

[Onceler's friends]
He's had a cruddy time recently. Maybe we should get together and do something for him. [...] In addition to dragging him out of his room.

Mind taking a raincheck on that spar?

Physical aging doesn't happen here??

[ WHOAH this is.. the first she has heard of this. ]

[polar]

That's what people say.

[Pretty sure she knows who you're talking about.]

I...am pretty sure he wants to stay firmly put in his room, though. And I doubt he would welcome visitors.

What exactly did you have in mind?

yes that

[polar]

Please, he needs the interaction. Sitting around cooped up there won't make things any better for him.

Dunno.

[hard_talker]

I'd like to think we can, yeah. I mean ... I could tell you about me, but I dunno if this is one of those things where you'd rather talk about what you're tryin' to do.

[polar]

Dunno. Tell me and we'll see.

[whistles_the_blues]

I still function here, I'd say that's an obstacle overcome.

[polar]

What do you mean?

Dictated

[patching_up]

I, er... I think it would depend.

[A sigh, somewhat grave-sounding in nature.]

I don't think I can accomplish the things I was supposed to... not here. But I can't speak for you, or anybody else.

[Only belatedly does he realize he's just talking to somebody he doesn't even remotely know, and he proceeds to stammer hopelessly into the journal.]

O-oh, um, I-- I'm sorry, I didn't--! I-I haven't introduced myself. My name's Five...

Dictated

[polar]

Yeah? What things were those?

[Pause.] Name's Korra.

Korra

[i_got_this]

Yeah?

[She's wary, but at least she's answering.]

South

[polar]

You've got weird space armor, right? What's it do?

[This is her attempt at conversation.]

Friends of Once-ler

[findatree]

He still likes pancakes and marshmallows, right? We can bring that to him.

Friends of Once-ler

[polar]

I always knew he was weird.

that once-ler filterrrr

[heloise]

He likes playing on his guitar.

yes!

[polar]

So... we work with that somehow?

[wilder]

[He is not going to reply to that Once-ler filter considering he's the one that CAUSED the bad time? It'd probably be best to stay out of any future planning.]

[So for now...]

You mean like your bending?

[polar]

Bingo.

once-friends

[kalinda]

For a self-proclaimed hermit, he certainly has a lot of friends.

once-friends

[polar]

He kinda fails at the whole hermit thing, huh?

friends of Once-ler

[kungfuwitch]

Personally I think that'd be a bad idea. Forcing him to be social isn't going to help him. Hell, If anything it might make him try to secluded himself even more.

friends of Once-ler

[polar]

He's never social anyway. We have to break him of the habit somehow.

[Onceler's friend filter]

[ino]

What'd you have in mind? The getting him out part will be easy, it's just a matter of what we want to do to cheer him up.

[Onceler's friend filter]

[polar]

I'm still thinking on that, It's why I'm asking for ideas.

Korra

[valuedstrength]

I don't mind. Everything okay, Korra?

Steve

[polar]

Sorta. I've just been thinking, that's all.

[ Once-ler Friends Filter ]

[fantasies]

I dunno, maybe we should bring something to him. He doesn't really like going places.

[When he's normal, is the unspoken caveat.]

[ Once-ler Friends Filter ]

[polar]

Like what?
