[Okay, not dead. Not dead is good, he can work with that. He still doesn't get how he can be in another world that isn't the Spirit World.]

You're an air nomad, right?

[He's got some vague knowledge of how the air nomads work, and he knows the air bender kids definitely don't have their tattoos yet.

Did Tenzin have another kid?]

Right. If you know what an air nomad is... then you're from the future. Because I'm the only air nomad in my time, and I didn't make Republic City yet. My name's Aang.

[He listens to that explanation and pieces it together.

Oh god. If this isn't a joke then he just asked a young version of Avatar Aang for directions.]

Uh, I'm Bolin. [Ohgodohgodohgod] N-nice to meet you?

[Aang smiles and gives a slight bow.]

It's nice to meet you, too, Bolin! And who's that little guy? [He points to Pabu.]

[He returns the bow automatically, still partly freaking out because how does this even work?? Korra is supposed to be the avatar! But he does seem pretty friendly.]

Oh, um, this is Pabu. He's my fire ferret.

[He goes forward to give Pabu a small stroke.]

It's an honor to meet you, too, Pabu. [And he chuckles.] I thought he was a fire ferret. It's funny, did you know that my reincarnation Korra is on a probending team called the Fire Ferrets?

The- [Fire Ferrets? Korra? FINALLY SOMETHING HE CAN UNDERSTAND!] That's me! Us!

[He realizes he's a little over excited and coughs to help calm down a bit.]

I mean, I'm on Korra's team. Me and my brother, Mako.

Oh... you are? It's even greater to meet you now! I'm honored to meet one of Avatar Korra's friends and a real live probender! I've heard a lot, just not... your name. I did get your brother's name, since he's Asami's boyfriend.

Yeah! Korra's one of my best friends! She's really amazing which is kind of standard since she's an avatar, I'm sure you're pretty amazing too since you saved the world in all-

[Record scratch]

Wait, she didn't mention me at all?

N-not really. She talked about how much she loves probending and all, but she didn't really tell me much about her friends. It just didn't come up, I guess.

[SIGHS. He kind of expects it by now. He's not the most important guy on the team, after all. If you're meeting your past avatar life there are more pertinent things to talk about than that guy on your probending team.

For now he has different priorities.]

So she's here? Is she okay? Is anyone else here or is it some kind of strange feathery avatar party that I'm crashing?

She's here, and she's... you could say she's okay. But this is a dangerous place. It messes with our head and the people who keep us here, the Malnosso, they run experiments that can change us temporarily. As for everyone else who's here... most of my friends are here from my time. And from... uh, "your" time, there's also my granddaughter Jinora, Asami... some guy named Tahno and... Tarrlok.

Asami and Jinora too? Oh man.

[At the mention of Tahno and Tarrlok his expression changes. See this face Aang? This is a face of NOPE. Tahno is a much smaller problem since he got equalized but...]

Tarrlok? He's seriously a nasty dude! He kidnapped Korra, and and tried to oppress everyone who isn't a bender and he's a bloodbender, too!

Yeah, we... we've heard already from the others. But he doesn't have his bending anymore because of that bad guy you guys fought. And he hasn't caused any trouble yet at all.

Yeah... He vanished after the whole final showdown with Korra and Amon. It's all really complicated from what I heard.

He did? I never knew about all of that. I just assumed he got... arrested. For being a no-good... b-bloodbender. [It's a struggle to say the word.] But Katara managed to settle things with him here.

Nobody really knows what happened... Katara? I've met her! Is she... [Is there a tactful way to say not old?] Is she your age?

You have, huh? [He tries to hide how weird that makes him feel. That this guy's known a Katara who was most likely old and married to him.] She's three years older than me now, cuz he's been in Luceti longer so she has an extra year ahead.

Yeah, we went to the north pole because we hoped she would have been able to undo Amon's bloodbending.

[That whole different amounts of time thing worries him though.]

...So people can be stuck here for a long time?

Oh. [He doesn't know much else to address this, having heard some of this from Katara herself through Asami's account. It's still weird to think about.]

Yeah. Sorry, I shouldn't have sprung it on you so quick. But Sokka and Katara are the only ones who have been here for real long. The weird thing is, the people from your time didn't start showing up until two months ago, during the last cycle. [Bringing with them all of their futures.]

It's... it's okay I guess. I'm getting used to crazy things. [He scratches the back of his head and then gives Pabu some scritches between the ears when nudged to do so.]

It must be weird for you guys, too. I'm still kind of freaking out that I'm talking to the hero of Republic City.

[Aang smiles at him.]

It is pretty weird to be the hero of Republic City. I know I did kinda save the world and everything with the help of my friends, but it's still so overwhelming the way people think of me from the future. And... I've learned so much about my life that I didn't know. ...Much more than I should know. [He'd prefer to stop at there being more airbenders - and sure, throw in marrying Katara too.]

I'll try to keep from talking too much about it if you want. I'd probably be just as weirded out if someone showed up from my future.

...So, um. Awkward question. Do you know where I can get clothes? [He gestures down to the new feather pants, which already have grass stains at the knees and mud on the hems. Earth benders have a talent for messiness.]

Thanks, Bolin. I appreciate it. [But he doubts he'd know much that Aang hasn't heard already from the others.]

Oh! Right. They should have your clothes at the clothing shop. It's just one of the weird things about this place. Right this way. [And he walks over in the direction of the shop.]

No problem!

[He follows Aang's lead and falls in step with him, looking around curiously.]

So what's the deal with this place? You said it's called Lucity?
