[Action - Locked to Bolin]

For what seemed like moments ago, Static watched as his mother vanished into darkness. A barrier constructed of space of time kept him from reaching her. And there'd been nothing he could do. Everything went dark and then there was nothing.

Until now. There was grass, the sounds of chirping birds and the sun getting in his eyes. Immediately Virgil sat up in a panic and looked around frantically.

"Mom!?"

But as far as he could tell, there was nothing. Worse than that, he realized he was in nothing but a pair of white pants that he had way more sense than to ever pick up for himself. And he was in a forest, which didn't bode well. Okay, so you're Virgil right now. In the middle of nowhere. Possibly in Medieval times if Timezone messed things up.

"Oh man. Not good."

Warily, he began to explore.

[Action - Afternoon]

So he was stuck in a place called Luceti. The first thing he did, once he got a chance to be by himself, was circle back to the clothing store and assemble his Static outfit. He found his metal disc at the item shop not long after. So once he felt confident with his much weaker powers, he took off towards the barrier. After about fifteen minutes of pumping it with electricity and getting nowhere, he decided it would be a bad idea to drain himself completely and be forced to walk all the way back to the town. So he returned to town, found a convenient power outlet to draw power from at the Tea Shop, and finally decided to do something about the journal. The question was... introduce himself as Static or as Virgil Hawkins?

Well, the answer was obvious.

[Voice]

So hey, Static here. If you haven’t heard of me, I’m a superhero from Dakota City. But really, has anyone heard of me? No, it’s not in North or South Dakota. I get that a lot. So I guess you could kinda say I’m new here. But I was kind of wondering about how to deal with the superhero thing. There's others here, right? The secret identity thing is pretty important, after all. But it's probably gonna be hard keeping it secret in a small town like this. Unless I just wear the mask all the time. I could probably do that if I have to.

Man, I just wish the Justice League was here. Batman would have already found a way out of this place by now.

"Starchy"?

That's what you said your name was, right?

It's Static.

That's what I said, Starchy.

Oh, you're hilarious. And what's your name?

Korra. I'm the Avatar. Or should I come up with a secret identity? Too late for that?

You could try. Anything would beat being named Corny.

At least I'm not too chicken to use my real name.

Hey, I'm not chicken! I'm just trying to protect people that I care about. If you were a hero like me, you'd do the same thing.

And who says I'm not a hero?

Well. Nobody said you were. You just said you were the Avatar.

Exactly. I'm the Avatar. Master of all the elements, keeps the world in balance, link between the physical world and the spirit world. That's me.

... right. You know, I think I've played a video game with you in it. Do you come with a sword?

[ Never mind she doesn't know what a video game is, SHE KNOWS SARCASM WHEN SHE HEARS IT. ]

Nope. Just a lot of other kickbutt abilities.

I guess it sounds cool. So how does this spirit thing work? Do you have ghost powers or something? Cuz I gotta admit, that does sound pretty nice.

Uhh... [ Let's just forget she mentioned the spirit thing. ] It's really more about my bending.

Uh... huh. So you're really flexible, then? [She said bending, so he can only assume.]

Not that kind of bending, Starchy. Firebending, waterbending, that kind of bending. I can control the elements with my body.

Sounds pretty cool. All I control is electricity, but you'd be surprised the stuff I can do with it.

[ Ah, lightningbending. ]

Oh, yeah? Like what?

You know anything about electromagnetism?

...Nope, not really. [ Something to do with electricity and magnets?? ]

Sounds like I'll have to give you a demonstration.

I guess that could be kind of cool. Sure.

Yeah well don't get all excited or anything.
