Welcome to the Program

[airlockedmods]

Good Morning, Champions. In the interest of maintaining healthy sleep patterns, a day/night cycle is in effect. Your presence is expected in the cafeteria in exactly one hour.

[The voice comes through not a large speaker, but through the device that's attached to each Champion's arm. Further investigation of the features of the device will reveal a list of profiles, a mini-map, and a list of rules. The hallways are shiny white and silver, with running lights along the floor and lights on the ceiling, and at the junction of the hallways is a sign with a knife and fork icon and an arrow pointing down the hall.

Welcome to the Excellence Program, Champions. Time to get to know your teammates.]

[she shrugs. She'd never heard of it, much less assumed it would be a luxury.]

You got me. But I'd rather know who left us here... I had something really important I needed to do.

[challengesfate]

So did I. Whoever's done this to us, they've taken our things away and brought us to this...place in the sky, and I have had enough of it already.

[What the fuck is outer space, news at 11.]

[newcycle]

[Korra sighs, and then rests her chin in her hand.]

Yeah, how do you even escape from something like this?

And how did we get here in the first place?

[a pause...]

... And I wonder if I can go into the spirit world and call for help!

[challengesfate]

The...spirit world?

[That's a thing, too? Well...if it is, Lucina's not actually surprised by that too much.]

[newcycle]

Yeah!

Hang on.

[well, now? Now she's going to sit, cross legged, on the floor, placing her fists against each other.

She looks like she's concentrating.

And then she glows.

But... it fades really, really quickly.]

[challengesfate]

Huh...?

[Is this some kind of magic? Lucina kneels down a bit, watching curiously.]

Did...whatever that was work?

[newcycle]

No...

[in fact, she's a little frustrated. The only thing keeping her from freaking out is that she can still feel Raava.]

Somehow, I can't make the connection?

[challengesfate]

Hmm.

[Lucina's brow furrows. She's not an expert on magic - far from it - but she's seen it used enough times to know that sometimes, what you're doing isn't going to work. And when that happens...]

Are you using some sort of conduit? It might be broken.

[newcycle]

No-- Raava's fine. I feel her.

[that makes sense to no one here, Korra. It barely makes sense to people back home.]

[challengesfate]

...Oh...um...hm.

[Uhuh. Okay. That's cool. There's...a magical entity in this girl and that's. Totally fine, alright, just. Not going to think about anybody else who might be like that.]

Then, perhaps something is limiting what...she can do?

[newcycle]

[korra is absolutely not bothered by the concept of raava. she'd be sad if she couldn't feel her.]

Maybe... But whatever's going on, this is bad news.

[challengesfate]

I...do agree on that front. I wish I had my sword...
