Tenth Transmutation | [video/action for Shark House] These are not the Rockets you're looking for...

[armoredsoul]

[When Al flips the feed on, he looks rather perturbed. He opens and closes his mouth several times, trying to find a way to start this whole thing a few times before silent ly shaking his head and turning the Gear around.]

[On the lawn of a certain rowdy house in Goldenrod sands a lone Golurk of unusual coloring. It is waiting patiently, and from behind the screen Al gives a signal. For a moment, everything is still...and then something starts rumbling. The Golurk shakes as if something is rattling around inside until--]

[Lifdoff.]

[The camera tracks it's slow progression up and over the house, rising like some ridiculous mecha out of an 80's anime, before Al whips the Gear back around to his incredibly distressed face.]

Why can it learn Fly?!

[It's been two weeks and he is still not over this.]

Yeah, they do! I'm guessing it means the species was created back then...the little blurbs don't really go into a whole lot of detail.

[bent_the_world]

That still sounds kind of sketchy...

[video]

[armoredsoul]

I'm just saying what I found written about them. I dunno what to think with how this world works anymore.

[video]

[bent_the_world]

It really doesn't seem to make a lot sense, huh?

[video]

[armoredsoul]

It really, really doesn't. You'd think it would stick to it's own weird logic, but then stuff like this happens!

[video]

[bent_the_world]

It kind of reminds me of the Spirit World, like that. Where things make their own kind of sense but it's not a sense you can see.

[video]

[armoredsoul]

Heh, I'm a lot more used to places where you can figure out the rules a lot easier. Is your Spirit World a physical place or something, um...less so?

[video]

[bent_the_world]

Oh, it's a real place. I've been there. But you can get there the not-physical way, too.

[video]

[armoredsoul]

Ehehe, I never heard of a place that can be both! ...though I haven't really heard about places that aren't physical before either, but I kinda assumed there must be some.

[video]

[bent_the_world]

Well, it depends on if you actually go there, like walking through a doorway, or if you meditate and send the not-meaty parts there. Then your body stays in the human world, but it's just...breathing and otherwise not functional. All the rest of you is in the Spirit World. And then you can't really touch things or have a physical effect.

[video]

[armoredsoul]

That...sounds interesting.

[And disturbing, but he's not going to say that part.]

It's not possible to get stuck like that, is it?

[video]

[bent_the_world]

Uhhhh......

Well.......

[This is Korra's awkward 'you clearly don't want me to answer that' face.]

[video]

[armoredsoul]

Ah, heh.

[Awkward subject change? Awkward subject change.]

So, um, what kind of stuff is in that Spirit World?

[bent_the_world]

Oh, all kinds of stuff. It's pretty amazing, actually. And beautiful.

[In most places. Most of the time.]

It's a lot like our world, just...full of spirits. And color and light and plants you'd never see in the human realm. And it changes, a lot. It's...a really fluid place.
