[OPEN MINGLE: SEPT 8-16]

[oneandmikleonly]

[So what are you up to as we pass out of the first hectic week of September and into the second? Calm strolls with alien elephants or fast swims with alien sealife? Flashing your sunglasses at crime scenes? Dreaming and building dreams? Waking and building...buildings? There's always a lot to do here, whether it's formal missions or just shenanigans with friends.

Zenning out is fine too!]

[Rose's comment warms her, making her smile widen a little.]

It's okay, I don't mind. I've been at this the whole day, I probably needed the break anyway. [Korra settles on the ground beside her.] You can keep asking questions if you want, if you don't mind me asking some of my own.

[She pauses.] Back home, only the Avatar's able to use all four elements. That's me...the Avatar.

[sparrowfeather]

I don't mind one bit. Go ahead, your turn.

-- the Avatar? And there's only one of you?

[ is she someone as important as alisha? well, rose was never one for formalities, but still, doesn't that make her kind of, uh, famous? if there's only one in the entire world... ]

That... sounds like a pretty huge deal.

[braavado]

I had a little talk with Mikleo back in the base a while ago. Is it really that rare for people to see seraphim?

[She grins, putting her worries out of her mind for a moment.]

Yeah, it kind of is. It's sort of a cycle--when one Avatar passes on, the next one is born.

[sparrowfeather]

Wait, what?!

[ rose is visibly shocked. ]

Are you saying you can just... see him? Hear him? I told you, nobody back home can interact with seraphim.

2/2

[sparrowfeather]

[ okay, she totally ignored the part that came after that. oops. ]

... so, you're the Avatar. The only one on the planet. Are you, like, a goddess or something? Do people worship you? Are there statues? Are you rich?!

[ rose asks the important questions. ]

[braavado]

Yeah, I can see and hear him. [Her puzzled look melts into one of understanding a second later.] Oh, that's...something that I forgot to mention. Avatars have this...connection to spirits. I guess I'm half-spirit if you want to look at it that way.

[Rose's stream of questions makes her blink, slightly overwhelmed.]

Uh...not a goddess, I hope people don't worship me, it's sort of complicated, and...no.
