Welcome to Republic City!

It was a bright and sunny normal day in Republic City. Children were playing, spirits were chirping about, and everything was going along like normal. Well at least that's what everyone seemed to think. That is until so many people seemed to be appearing out of nowhere. For some reason Republic City seemed to be more lively and the crowds bigger.

The spirits have grown restless as if something important was about to change, and to try to fix that change, the spirits with their big long tree like limbs dragged people into the world left and right. Even the vines covering Republic City seemed to help. Although the spirits had the best intentions in mind, some people were more affected by the grab than others. There's talk that people in this city don't even know what this place is. People who have never heard of the words "bender" or "non-bender."

Welcome to Republic City! And to those who already live here: Happy Saturday. Please make yourselves at home and don't mind a little spirit gunk. It's mostly harmless. Go enjoy yourself a classic mover. Maybe you're the athletic type. If that's the case, come watch a few Pro-bending matches or form your own team. Just watch out for any Satomobiles. They can be deadly no matter how pretty the driver is.

Please remember to enjoy your stay and don't cause too much trouble. The Republic City Police don't need more riffraff to take care of. And don't stray too far. To make the the peace is kept, there's a huge spirit barrier around the perimeter of the city. It seems pretty strong, but it won't be able to last forever. Still, it's worrying. Radio signals and telegraphs don't seem to be getting past it.

Yeah, a curse. [It sounds relatively simple to him. At least someone sounds like they aren't trying to discredit hi this time.]

Because something similar like this happened to my town. People couldn't leave or bad things would happen.

[Korra perks up. She doesn't know this kid at all, but if he's already experienced something similar, maybe she could hear him out. It wouldn't hurt, and maybe what worked with his town could work for this barrier, too.]

Why don't you join me? I want to know what happened to the town you're from. What's your name, anyway?
truestheart: (totally innocent)

Sure.
[At the offer he's already sitting down. Whoever this girl was, she was looking for a way to get through, so two heads together would work best than one.]

My name's Henry and well, what happened to my town is probably going to sound weird but it's true.

[He just needs to get that out there. You have no idea how many skeptics he's gotten today.]


Do you want the long version or the short one? Before I start, I probably should know your name too.[go short, Korra life will only be confusing if you go too deep into his world's backstory.]

braavado: (Yeah...it's not sinking in yet)

It’s Korra.

[Some of the spirits start moving closer once it looks like Korra isn’t going anywhere, but Korra keeps her attention on Henry, still smiling crookedly.]

Let’s go with the short version for now. And…don’t worry. I’m pretty used to weird things happening around me.

Korra?

[The name obviously pings, as the realization spreads on his face.]

You mean like, Avatar Korra?

[Oh, wait, he needed to explain things about his world first, woops.]

Right, um, well there was this evil curse that someone cast [omitting the fact that someone he's close to did it] to bring everyone to my world and have them forget who they were. But, everyone was trapped in my town, Storybrooke. They couldn't leave or something bad would happen. It wasn't like a shield like what's going on here, but just really, really bad things. Like, my babysitter's grandma had a heart attack. Then when the curse was broken and everyone had their memories, people still couldn't leave because they'd forget their real selves again.
