[...This book is so, so weird. She's still not comfortable talking into the thing and she's only done it twice so far. But, might as well leap right into the fire. Being impulsive isn't quite her thing, but hesitating isn't either]

Is this working...? Yeah, I think so- Good evening everyone. I just arrived yesterday and I thought I should introduce myself; my name's Asami. [...] And... if anyone wants to help me with a few things I'd really appreciate that.

[She's sure the people in the Avatar cast could help her with most of these too, but she's imposing enough by having slept in Sokka's room last night (reducing him to the couch) and she needs to figure out a few things here like somewhere else to stay, new wardrobe, her gauntlet, all that stuff.]

Other than that, does anyone like sports? I'm fond of racing and probending, myself.

[...there, that's a conversation starter too.

Bonus Action: While she's looking for people to do it with her, either way she'll be hitting up All Passions, the Item Shop, looking for a room in Community Building 5, and surveying the houses around the Avatar House (56)]

Well, there's a store called All Passions, for all your fashion needs. And basically, if you find a house or apartment you like that's empty, you can sorta just....move in.

Oh, here. I'm not sure if anyone's shown you this yet, but... [She quickly locates that infamous guide...] this has some more stuff. A lot more stuff, actually. Just if you need some light pre-bedtime reading.

Um.... [Advice given, she hesitates to continue.] Did you want...someone to meet you somewhere? When I got here, a friend of mine showed me the ropes, but...

[Hm hm hm ALL GOOD ADVICE But-] I'd love that actually. Someone to meet me, I mean.

O-okay! Um. Where can I find you?

I don't know most of the locations here yet. I'm heading up from the south end of town though according to the map. Were could I meet you?

Gotcha--I live at the north end. We could meet at the square, maybe? It's pretty populated. By the fountain, or maybe Seventh Heaven if you're feeling peckish.

Um...you'll eventually get there if you keep heading north-ish on the road.

I think I can find my way to the square. [Smile] The fountain sounds good though, I can meet you there.

Great! I'm headed for the door now.

....I'm Willow, by the way. I'll be the redhead.

[Because like...there are no other redheads, nope.]

[...Red.

...Head?]

I'll... see you there.

[And she'll be looking for someone with a red. head.

[And before too long, said redhead arrives in the square!

She kind of....assumes that the slightly lost-looking young woman by the fountain is Asami, so she'll saunter up with a smile.]

Hey!

[Sure hope it's her. Pretty awkward otherwise...!]

[...Asami stands. She's going to look like a spaz because she's been wondering what a "red head" is but now that this woman is walking over to him and therefore is probably Willow... Asami stands and points right at Willow's head, standing to her 5'7 height and being animated indeed-]

Oh! You have red hair, that's why you're a red head!

[...That's funny, she's acting like she didn't already know that! Huh. Regardless, Willow grins in response, nodding in confirmation. The attention over such a small detail is almost...cute? It's almost cute.]

Yyyyup, that's me. Redhead, ginger, carrot-top...and hey, if I ever get a really bad sunburn, the rest of my face matches!

Sooo, your name is...Asami, right? [She offers a hand, but at an angle and with fingers outstretched. Just a touch less business-like.] Willow Rosenberg.

[She actually laughs at that. Wow, that's... funny. And it is the first time she's seen red hair gosh. But anyway she takes the hand] Yeah, Asami Sato. Thanks for coming out here.

[Willow would be honored to know that because she is totally the epitome of redheadedness.

But anyway, handshake! And she nods, not a little sympathetically.] It's not a problem. I know how...disorienting this place is.

So, uh...now that I'm actually here, what sort of things did you want to do? You said you just got here yesterday?

That's right! Just yesterday, so I'm still not quite sure were everything is. I've been to the clothing store and some of it speaks for itself but... Yeah, just want to know what I ought to know.

[Sheepish. Oops]

Okay. [Right, this is...this is a lot of responsibility! It's okay Will, you can handle it.]

Well, I...assume you know the situation, right? Mass kidnapping, different universes, etcetera etcetera. Well...I'm not much of a tour guide, but I can try to bring you up to speed best I can!

Well I heard about it yesterday. I'm still not sure I've got everything down exactly but, I'm... getting there. [And he ends up staring at the red hair. In spite of herself]

Got it. Well, that guide has pretty much...everything you need to know. It's...hefty, but educational.

...In my experience? It's not easy at first, but networking makes it come pretty close. And someone you know from home might be here. Or show up. [She does notice the staring...which she doesn't acknowledge past casting her eyes up a little towards the top of her head. Everything up there's...normal, right?]

There's... a few people. Most of them are from the past though. [Exhale] Seventy years in the past, actually.

[Which makes her eyes drift away from the hair. Even if she still wants to be there]
