So, we can use these things to contact everyone? That's pretty neat ~~if really really weird.~~ I think I'll start of writing, though, because talking to a book still seems like something Dock would do.

That's got to be annoying, for so many people to look at something if you just want to talk to one or two people. The guide said something about being able to filter these things? But I don't really see how that could work...

Tormod, you can have your cape back whenever you want. Have you found a place to stay yet?

And hey, if there's a Hugo or a Derek out there, I'd like to talk to you for a few minutes.

[So not one to stay copped up in the house, Katara is going to pack up her journal and her waterskin and bundle up. They're in the middle of a cold snap, but now that she has shoes the freezing doesn't really bother her so much. She's going to head on over to the grocery store to get some soup ingredients and check out the other buildings. She's friendly! Feel free to say hello!]

Hey Toph! I'm at the grocery store, do you want anything?

He's just this guy. Kind of goofy, weird yellow hair. [Because no one back home has blond hair. Creepy blond people.]

Beef jerky?

Yellow hair! That's so... weird. Tormod has red hair. In the craziness of finding you guys, I didn't even notice.

OK. Anything else? It seems like a good night for soup. I'm going to try one of those strange meats you guys were telling me about, like chicken.

Yeah. I've seen people with hair every color of the rainbow. It's just weird.

Nope, I think that's it. Soup sounds great to me.

Not weirder than the wings, but -- weird. It's hard to believe that there are so many different kinds of people from so many different kinds of places! I'm actually kind of excited to meet them all!

Especially the ones you guys keep talking about.

OK. Soda, beef jerky, one bag of sugary worm things... what about Toph, does she like anything special from here?

Don't worry, you'll meet them all soon enough. It's kind of a small village, really.

I dunno, more soda? That's why you should have recorded this message by voice, so she'd know to ask for stuff.

Talking to a book is weird, Sokka.

Writing to people in a book is less weird?

Yes! At least then you're writing!

What if you can't write. Like Toph.

...not even Toph spoke to books back home.

She does now!

And that doesn't make it any less weird!

Hey, I had to put up with you wanting to tag along with a kid we found in an ice cube. Don't lecture me about weird.

Yes, but that made perfect sense at the time. And look how it turned out!

[Sigh]I will try to get used to talking to a book for Toph.

Atta girl!

So while we're talking about this... did you figure out how to make it so only some people can see what you write or say on these things yet?

You mean like this? Yeah, it's easy. I'll show you how to do it if you want.

I knew you could resist a secret. Yeah, that would be great, Sokka.

I'll show you when you get home. It takes some practice to get good at it, though.

Sounds good! Thanks!

I'm gonna go explore around some of the buildings... hey do you know what they use the barracks for?

Not really. Nobody actually stays there, but I see people head there every now and then for training.
