[The feed opens up sideways to the very excited-looking face of a young man with big green eyes and dark hair. He looks absolutely enthralled.]

Pabu look--look! There's a little flashing light on it! [A chirping sound can be heard somewhere offscreen, and then a creature resembling a red panda clambers up onto the young man's shoulders to sniff experimentally at the camera.] Oh--oh, I think that means it's recordi--shoot! Now I've blown my entrance.

[Suddenly he shifts in demeanor, swiping a hand back through his hair and giving the feed a suave, lidded look. Still sideways, by the way.]

Well hello there, Siren's Port! Allow me to introduce myself--my name is Bolin, I'm the vice captain of the championship pro-bending team the Fire Ferrets. Oh, yes you heard right, you've got yourself a bona-fide famous professional celebrity among you~ Don't worry, though--there's plenty of me to go around.

[His confident smile slips a little.] Before I set up any autograph sessions, though, I need a little help from you guys. You see, I kinda got separated from some people I know must have come here with me. [He rubs his chin with one hand.] I mean, if I'm here, they've got to be here, right? We were together only moments before I arrived, I'm sure of it...

An-anyway, ah... there's this pretty girl with long dark wavy hair and green eyes--her name's Asami. And then there's this guy [He holds one hand up a little above his own head... not that you can tell how tall he is from the feed considering it's really just his face.] about yay tall, dark hair, wearing a uniform, kind of looks like a big deal, his name's Iroh. He's a firebender. The guys who found me didn't even know what that was--can you believe that? [Nervous laughter.] I mean... what planet do you have to be from to not even know what a firebender is, am I right?

[More nervous laughter, and then he clears his throat. The feed is still sideways.] So yeah, if, uh... If anyone has seen anybody fitting those descriptions, would you let 'em know Bolin's looking for 'em?

By the way, while I've got your attention, which way back to Republic City? [More nervous laughter.] I was kind of in the middle of something important. The guys who found me didn't know where that was, either. Can... can you believe that? It's only like, the most important city in the whole world, right Pabu? [The red panda creature just tilts its head, and Bolin scratches its ears before turning his attention back to the (still sideways) feed.] Where is this place, anyway? I didn't really do too well in geography--Mako wasn't very good at teaching me that--but I'm pretty sure I don't remember any place called Kanada.

[Here's an Ichigo at his part time job at Portside Dojo, wearing a close fitting, navy blue and red, sleeveless muscle shirt with the dojo logo on the left side of his chest. Suspiciously, the only other staff member who seems to be wearing this and not a baggy cotton polo shirt is Terra (and if you were to ask either of them, you'd soon be told that the polo shirts were not offered to them).]

So my boss wanted me to say something about the summer program we're running at Portside this year. We've got all the usual martial arts classes running to the same schedule as always, but we're gonna start running a few morning sessions in the week for kids to come and try the basics. They run from, uh-

[Quick look at the notice board behind him and-]

9am 'til 10.30, and we're taking complete beginners or whatever non-ranked ability. Protective gear's compulsory, you don't have it you're not getting to fight. It's a basic grounding in martial arts, some games and occasional demonstrations from some of the senior senseis for the kids who want to know more and maybe come and get proper classes at a later date. Places are limited so you'd better sign up fast.

[He scratches the back of his neck absently, coming up with what else he needs to add.]

Oh yeah, we're also starting up self defense classes for women in the evenings on Mondays and Thursdays. They start at 5.30 and run 'til 7. Basically it's learning to defend yourself, how to use an attacker's strength against them and how to disarm and immobilise an attacker if you have to. It's $100 for five lessons, and we can't take anyone with super-strength, our insurance won't cover it. Sorry. Health and safety.

[He pauses for a moment. Anything else? Quick glance at Terra to see if he wants to add something? Nope. We're good. All done.]

And if anyone's free on Sunday, I'm thinking about having a barbecue kinda thing at around noonish. I'm gonna have some stuff there but if you wanna bring something to cook that's cool too. Or like a salad or something, chips, dessert stuff. That kinda thing. Just let me know.
