ATTENTION, ALL~!

[Goooooooooooood early morning, Jhoto. Did you want to sleep? Too bad. Because Shadowmaru has an announcement. A sunrise announcement. Poised on the roof of a building -- it's a hotel in Olivine, because apparently, the Staryutube business is good enough to keep him afloat.]

It is with great honor, that I would direct your attention to the newest member of our little band of creatures.

[He bows to the screen, rolling his wrist to direct the camera... over to his Froakie and Growlithe. Both of them bow too, and gesture upward... to...!]

[A Yamask!]

A perfect, shadowy partner for a ninja such as myself, don't you think?

[Yeah, it would be perfect. If... you know. The mask it's holding looked normal. Instead it's a little odd. Both Growlithe and Froakie appear to notice this, and throw each other confused glances.]

Please, expect it to make appearances our channel in the future. I do believe it's the perfect specimen for palette testing.

Yeah, water's kind of my specialty! Water and fire.

Oh yeah, way different! They're...hard to describe, actually. They have a shell and flippers and long necks.

[sassymaru]

Why is that, if I may ask?

So they're some sort of turtle?

[bent_the_world]

They've just always been my favorite elements. I used them the most back home.

Uh...not really...

[sassymaru]

Ahh... right. I remember you speaking something of that, earlier.

They sound like it, from your description.

[bent_the_world]

Yeah, elemental Pokemon...it's as close as I can get to my old powers.

They have long necks like...um... Oh, like this.

[Korra makes the universal shadow puppet gesture for 'sea monster' with her fingertips pointed and held together, her hand angled like a head and arm like a neck.]

[sassymaru]

Now, that, I can understand. Perhaps that would be why I find myself drawn to ghostly apparitions such as this.

[Shadowmaru, your Yamask is literally an emoji.]

Some sort of... sea monster?

[bent_the_world]

Oh yeah?

Uh...sure, let's go with that. I'll show you when it hatches.

[sassymaru]

Yes. I am a Ninja Detective, you see.

Very well. Perhaps it will be some water beast worth observing.

[bent_the_world]

There you go!

Hey, have you been to Mahogany Town yet? They say ninjas hide out there, or something.

Oh, they're really cool!

[sassymaru]

Mahogany? No, I can't say I have... No one's mentioned such a place yet.

[Korra he's been camping out in Olivine forever.]

[bent_the_world]

I used to live outside of it! It's a nice place. You should check it out.

[sassymaru]

Is it in any sort of proximity to Olivine City?

[bent_the_world]

Uh....I mean, it's closer than a lot of places...

It's beyond Cianwood.

[sassymaru]

Mm, perhaps one day we'll attempt to journey again.

For the time being, we appear to have settled ourselves in Olivine. By the seaside.
