Hello! My name is Asami. I currently work at the Research Center in general technology and I'm a Spring.

[That's a quick and nice introduction from this lady before actually getting into why she's contacting the network, sitting in a living room dressed in fairly comfortable and casual clothes.]

I'm very interested in technology in general and wish to know what kind of technological level you have back in your worlds. My own isn't even closed to what they have here. Our telephones have landlines, for example, and our cars look nothing like the ones here. So it's been a new and wonderful experience.

[She's made plenty of new discoveries so far.]

Or you could tell me what's your favorite technological thing you've discovered while being here... or even just an app on these smartphones.

Hmm. Yes, I can definitely see where the technological applications could be. But it seems like it would require a lot of manpower to use at an industrial scale. How is affinity passed on?

[soundsperfect]

Usually from your parents, but sometimes people are born without powers even if their parents are benders or the other way around. Though the latter is a bit rarer.

[nihilmancy]

Hmm. [ She frowns. ] It sounds like a class system would probably form around that.

[ She has rather too much experience with class systems. ]

Are you a bender?

[soundsperfect]

We've had our issues regarding that, definitely.

[Sadly, it wasn't all rainbows even now.]

I'm not, but my girlfriend is. Well, she's the Avatar, who can use all elements. There's only one Avatar at a time.

[nihilmancy]

Avatar. That's a very dramatic title. Is she some sort of religious figure?

[ Dating the messiah seems like a pretty good gig. ]

[soundsperfect]

Well, not exactly. She's more of a bridge between us and the Spirit Realm and someone who upholds the balance of the world.
