[Korra looks flushed and disheveled and a bit out of breath when she comes on the network, and there's a fresh bruise on her cheek. She's bundled up and outside somewhere, but despite her appearance she's grinning.]

Hey, so who around here plays hockey? Because this sport is great!

Oh, I'm in Goldenrod by the way. I'll probably be here through winter. I've actually started to miss the snow and cold a little bit.

Plus...Botan's here, so...

But if anybody plays hockey or wants to, you should come play with me. Even my newest little guy is enjoying it! Well...he's enjoying biting the puck anyway...

He really likes to bite things.

[Korra shifts the gear and there, at the edge of the ice, is a Chewtle gnawing enthusiastically on a hockey puck.]

I've heard about the islands around here, but I haven't had the chance to visit yet. Bet they're a whole lot warmer than it is here.

[Where she isn't freezing her legs off trying to walk from one city to the next.]

Sad to say I ain't nearby. Stuck in Viridian right now. This weather's been making navigating the forest a chore, and without a pokemon to fly me around I've got no other options.
sitdownbecider: (Uh... I reckon so?)

Trust me, I've been searching high and low for anything that can make a flame. Unfortunately around here there ain't much more than some normal types and whatever flying or grass types that haven't squirreled themselves away until springtime. Guess I could always camp out at the Pokemon Center until things warm up, but I start getting stir-crazy sitting in one place for too long.

[She shrugs, letting a quiet sigh slip out.]

But enough of me blabbing about my troubles. What brings a lifeguard from the islands to Goldenrod City in the dead of winter? Some kind of tournament going on, or something?
sitdownbecider: (Everythin's swell.)

[Oh, now that gets AJ grinning.]

Well congratulations, Sugarcube! Hope the two of y'all were able to make it a great one. How long have you been together?
sitdownbecider: (I reckon you're alright.)

[personal profile] sitdownbecider 2020-01-23 05:19 am (UTC)(link)
A pleasure, Korra. [She tips her hat respectfully.] I'm Applejack, but most folks around here just call me "AJ".

Botan sounds familiar, though. Reckon we've talked in the past, but you'll have to excuse me there. My memory's still a little fuzzy since I came back to this world.

I'm willing to bet she spoils you rotten with that bakery too.

[The ghost pokemon part is interesting, too. She's seen plenty of people that had a preference to certain types, but not a lot of people wanted to put up with the antics of spirits.]

Hoo, the tundra? I can't even imagine. It don't get much colder than this where I come from.

[Not normally at least.]
sitdownbecider: (Pie in the sky?)

[personal profile] sitdownbecider 2020-01-30 04:41 am (UTC)(link)
It ain't something you hear about every day. What d'you even eat? I can't see how anything can grow when it's that cold.
sitdownbecider: (This ain't right.)

[personal profile] sitdownbecider 2020-01-31 02:25 am (UTC)(link)
Oh right. [She snorts.] I forgot y'all human-folk do that. Eat animals, and all.
sitdownbecider: (D'you even hear yourself talk?)

[personal profile] sitdownbecider 2020-02-01 06:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Animals rely on people for survival... and ya'll are eating them.

[Doesn't that sound just a little bit messed up?]

Look, I'm not about to sit here and judge the way humans live their lives. Just do me a favor and keep it to a minimum. Some of them have feelings too.
sitdownbecider: (Y'see... it's like this.)

[personal profile] sitdownbecider 2020-02-02 01:41 am (UTC)(link)
Alright, I've heard of my fair share of crazy animals, but I ain't ever heard of a polar-bear dog.

Are they... big white dogs, maybe?

...I'm a little surprised by how much sense that made.

[She'd still like to see what these bears look like. It sounds pretty neat.]

But if you're as much a friend of the animals as you say you are, then you're alright in my book.
