001 ~ [Voice]

[Hey, this wasn't the Western Air Temple! This was... a boat? It had to be a boat. It felt like a boat. And if Aang was on a boat, that wasn't good news. He jumped to his feet and looked around. This didn't seem like a prison cell. It didn't even look like a Fire Nation ship! Where was he...? In any other situation, he'd be jumping out to see where

No need to yell, kid; we're not deaf.

[omnibender]

Whoa! The box is talking!

[Someone is now grabbing that communicator again... and staring at it intently. Thankfully no one is there to see that.] ...how are you inside the box?

[wolvesxeyes]

[Okay, that makes her laugh.]

I'm not inside the box, kid, promise; it's a communicator. I'm guessing you're not used to technology, eh?

[omnibender]

A communicator? You mean... I can talk to people using a talking box?

That's awesome!

[Sorry, his non-existent attention span is now very excited about the talking box.]

[standardpackage]

I can an' ya' don't need ta' yell.

[omnibender]

But who are you...?

. . .

You're not with the Fire Nation, are you!? [Because they would totally admit to this if this were a trap. He's not thinking very far ahead right now.]

[standardpackage]

Name's Jinx. An' I don't know what that place is.

[He does know Zuko, if that means anything.]

[omnibender]

You don't know what the Fire Nation is...? [Just how far away are they!?]

...well, nice to meet you, Jinx! I'm Aang. Do you know what's going on around here?

[withanokka]

[Sokka is STILL in the library. But the voice over the communicator is more than enough to make him drop his book that he'd just pulled off the shelf RIGHT ON HIS FOOT. After a few seconds of groaning, he picks up the communicator.]

Aang? Is that you? Or am I just going crazy?

[omnibender]

Sokka! ...how did you get in the box?

Wait, nevermind. Where are you? Where am I!?

[withanokka]

Whoa, slow down there.

[Right, Sokka, like you were completely chill when you got here.]

You're on a boat called the M.S. Elegante. We're stuck here. All of us, actually. Soooome of us have been here longer than others.

[omnibender]

Wait. Wait, what...?

We're on a boat!? Oh, I already knew that... We're stuck!?

I'm so confused... this isn't like that time after Azula got me, is it? [But wouldn't he have woken up with hair again?]

[afathertorn]

[Wait. He knows that voice.]

Aang. We can hear you.

[omnibender]

[And he knows that voice!] Hey, Sokka and Katara's dad! You're here too...? [Yes he knows your name, but he's a little too confused for names at the moment.]

Do you know how we got here? I just woke up and everyone was gone!

[afathertorn]

Hakoda. [A minor correction. Just so you know. He has a name.]

I'm not sure how we arrived. We seem to all just wake up here. At different times.

[omnibender]

Hakoda! Right, I didn't forget!

Uhm. What do you mean different times...? I mean, it sounds like I'm the only one who doesn't know what's going on...

[audio]

[omnibender]

Zuko! [He's so glad to see more people he kno- wait, why the sudden question?]

Uhm. We just got back from seeing the masters, and we were with everyone at the Western Air temple! Why...? What happened to us?

[audio]

[omnibender]

Where you're from? Oh, right, what Hakoda said...

Wait, there's no way to get home? Sokka said we were stuck here, but...! How am I supposed to save the world if I'm stuck here!?
