[There is an odd spectacle sitting in a park.

It appears to be Ahiru, sitting on bench. She seems to be frowning critically at her NV, though as she adjusts it, it becomes very apparent that something is very wrong.

For starters, there is a quarter empty bottle of scotch sitting next to her.

For another, there is a pistol in her lap.

And last, but not least, when she speaks, it's in a rather harsh (somewhat drunk) attitude.

Oh, let's not forget that it's with a British accent.

That's important.]

For the information of all those that I care about, I am currently trapped within the body of a little girl, because God has decided to play a lovely little trick on me. Until the moment that I am put within my host again, I have a series of requests. And as the resident ruler of the realm, you should give listening a shot, idiots.

[And Ahiru curls her fingers around the neck of the bottle.]

One, my dog needs to come here. Two, no one touches my things without the express permission of yours truly, else I will handle you personally. And third, Castiel needs to come bring me home, now, because if one more homeless man attempts to abduct me, I am going to rack up a body count that will rival World War II.

[There is a quiet pause, as she glances down at his pistol, before -- ]

And can someone fetch me a decent gun? This one appears to be made in China and we all know what good those mass-manufactured pieces of shit are.

[And the feed ends.]

[Bolin looks much more confident this time, holding the feed the right direction for starters. He waves jovially.]

Hello, denizens of Siren's Port! Bolin here, wondering if I can ask for a little advice. I need to get a job, but... well, this place is pretty much completely different than the city I grew up in. The technology is way more advanced, so I'm a little intimidated, I guess; I'm not sure what sorts of prerequisites I'd meet for people seeking workers, so I thought maybe it'd be better if I just sort of posted my own Job Wanted ad!

So... I'm Bolin, I just got here a few weeks ago. I'm sixteen and real strong, so if you need somebody to help you with some heavy lifting I could definitely do that. I'm also an earthbender--that means I can move rock and dirt and stuff like... with my brain, kinda. It's a little hard to explain. [He's prepared a small demonstration, though, and turns the feed toward a small potted plant he picked up at the store.] Here, it's usually better if I just show. [The pot wobbles a bit, and then the earth within it lifts neatly away, completely intact. He spins it around once, just to show he can, then places it neatly back in its pot and turns the feed back to himself.] So uhm... I guess I might be helpful if someone needs a gardener? Or like if you need to level some ground? [He rubs the back of his neck a bit awkwardly.] I can also move big rocks--like huge ones, way bigger and heavier than me, so I might be good at construction or something.

Uhm. Gosh, I guess I'm just not sure what people are looking for, but I definitely need to get a job so me and Korra get get a bigger apartment. The Tower is way too small for Naga.

Oh! That reminds me! [He disappears from the feed for a moment, then returns holding Pabu, who looks a bit put-upon.] This is Pabu, my fire ferret. He's trained to do all kinds of tricks, so if you need like entertainment for parties, you just give us a call. Show 'em what you've got, Pabu!

[He sets Pabu down and the screen shudders a moment as he lifts it and focuses it at the ferret, who looks a bit uncertain. Bolin whispers loudly then.]

Come on, Pabu, we practiced this--don't get cold feet now. I know you can do this--you'll wow 'em for sure!

[Pabu hesitates, then leaps forward to walk on his hands for about a foot and a half before folding forward into a neat somersault.]

Nailed it!

[The feed focuses back on Bolin.]

So. Yeah. Uhm. We might be able to do other stuff too, I'm just not sure what people need, but if you need a hand, just ask! We're both ready and willing to do whatever kind of job needs us, right Pabu?

[Pabu gives a noncommittal chittering sound, and Bolin waves again with a big grin as the feed cuts.]

- -Local Craft Shop Terrorized by Nefarious Nana-

Police were summoned yesterday to a local yarn shop, Knitter's Nook, with reports of a robbery in progress. Much to the officers' surprise, the crook was no hardened criminal, but an elderly woman in a shawl wielding a crochet hook.

The greedy granny wandered into the shop shortly after lunchtime, browsed the wares for a short time but then was caught shoplifting skeins of yarn in her purse. When approached by the manager, the old woman pulled out a crochet hook and demanded all the money from the register.

"I refused, of course," said Candy Green, the manager on duty. "And next thing I know, I'm wrapped from head to toe in yarn. It was like she was a spider or something."

The old woman's super-crochet abilities proved too difficult for the cops to handle, as she escaped after a short confrontation that left two squad cars and four officers "yarnbombed." If anyone has any information regarding the identity of this naughty nana, please contact the police.
