[...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)]

Yeah, I'm pretty sure volleyball's only supposed to be played with your hands and head.

[Adding feet is interesting, though. Very interesting.]

Are there any other rule changes?

They arne't changes, really, it's a different game. But... I don't think I saw any courts with more than two people on the beach. Is that right?

Sounds about right, anyway. How many players are on Kuai Ball teams?

It depends, you can have that few but it's usually played with four on each team.

Well, I bet the bigger team makes it way more fun! Not to mention challenging.

Exactly - throw in some skilled players and matches can get very exciting very quick.

Man, imagine playing a game like that with a whole bunch of powers thrown in. That'd be nuts!

Oh, I've seen firebenders play it before! It gets pretty heated - in fact, some matches use fire-resistant balls because of it.

[Okay, that pun gets a good chuckle outta Ven. Well played!]

But imagine throwing in all kinds of different skills. Gravity, wind, lightning, stop and slow magic. It'd really tilt the balance.

There's such a thing as gravity magic? [What's Stop and Slow, even]

Yup! Like, I've got a spell called Zero Gravity that'll lift things off of the ground.

That's amazing - and it reverses gravity itself, not just lifting people on the wind?

That's right! I can use wind, too, but that's a totally different spell.

Magnet's kinda similar, though.

Magnet?

It basically drags enemies into a ball of magnetic energy and holds 'em there for a few seconds. The energy keeps hurting 'em until they drop, too.

[Well that's surprisingly violent for how amicable he's being. She sort of shifts and nods] That's actually pretty amazing.

Aww, thanks, but it's nothing huge. There's all kinds of magic out there, and my friend Aqua's way better with that kinda thing.

I don't know anyone who can do things like that. Or well... I guess I didn't until just now. It's amazing to me either way.
