Uh, hey. Mako here.
[ Nailing it so far, right? Mako's standing in front of a half-blue, half-green wall, dotted with small lunar sconces. Everything looks kind of dusty and half-finished, and the watery afternoon light illuminates yet more dust drifting around him.
Notably, a small dragon, red-scaled and content, is draped over his shoulders like a scarf, watching the Omni with bright eyes.
Mako glances momentarily off the screen, mouths something, and then looks back, clearing his throat. ]
It's come to my attention that a lot of you have been setting things on fire left and right since we washed up here. Obviously, this is dangerous to you and the people around you. If that's you, you need to make an effort to control it immediately before something worse than singeing your clothes happens.
For those of you who just washed up, I'm a firebender. That means I can do—
[ He holds up his left hand (scarred with strange marks) in front of himself and splays his fingers, making a small puff of fire appear and hold over his palm. It flickers there like a candle flame, dancing between Mako's fingers, before he drags it in a small arc and lets it go out. ]
—that, and—
[ Another flick of his fingers, this time producing little purple-bright sparks that zap between the tips and then dissipate. ]
—that. And a lot more.
So. If you need help learning to control your powers, and you do, come to the Raccoon Room in Cellar Door on Wednesdays. You'll see the sign. I've been doing this since I was a kid. Anyone else who wants to help, feel free to drop by too.
[ Finally, he looks up, his serious expression dropping just slightly. ]
Trust me. If a bunch of snotty six-year-olds back home can learn how to do it, you can.
[ The little dragon huffs in agreement, fire puffing out of its nose, and Mako reaches forward to cut the feed. ]

Voice, UN: Hino
[Rei sounds genuinely pleased, grateful beyond words, to not have lost a friend.]
Thank you for taking care of this. I've seen a few accidental fires started, and with the city being what it is, having someone with experience do this is wise.

He crosses Rei's name off a list in his notebook with a small, relieved smile aimed at the page. ]
Hey, if you're looking for something to do, I get the feeling I'm going to need some help teaching everyone. Seems like a lot of people can do this now.
You wash up safe?
no subject
[There's a pause as she considers his other question, because safe? That was a relative term, and her answer is not entirely a positive one.]
I arrived with Winter in one piece. No pirates like Willow, but I did end up being pulled into a tidal cave full of murderous crabs.
no subject
Yeah, Wu ended up in the caves, got kind of messed up. I just got nabbed by the pirates. Managed to get away, but I don't like that they're out there.
Help'd be appreciated. I keep getting more people.
[ He figured there were a lot, but this is.... a LOT. ]
Where are you staying?
no subject
[Is there anything I can do? she leaves unsaid.]
I'm staying in Crenshaw. My home from Deerington showed up there. Which was a pleasant surprise.
no subject
[ And you can bet Mako feels absolutely guilty about that. He should have been there, should have—held on tighter, or something. He doesn't know. ]
Your whole house? You and a couple other people have said that. It... must be pretty weird.
no subject
[That's the most important thing. There's no sense in beating oneself up over something totally out of your control.]
It...is weird, yes. It's basically untouched. Like, everything is there in the proper place.
Did yours?
no subject
I don't get how we had to get churned up and spit out on a beach but a whole entire house is just here, untouched.
no subject
How is this the real world of whatever planet we're on? The squid thing was weird enough.
