For just an hour.. it certainly felt like entire day waiting on that airplane. You would find a nicely dressed blonde sitting anxiously in his first class seat..Creamed colored suit with a white button up dress shirt underneath.. He looked as if he was just leaving a business trip. And he sort of did. Rusty Ryan just left the Las Vegas Airport and was heading back home to Los Angeles. Bronze tinted sunglasses partially concealed his natural blue eyes. The fingers of his right hand would fondle with a an empty champaigne class.. It would have been nice if the so called flight attendant made an appearance this century but what can you do with Flight Service now a days? His face was calm.. but those eyes bugged out.. it was obvious that he was getting impatient.. He then set his glass down.. and reached for his miniature bag of peanuts.. slowly pulling apart the bag.. then knocking the entire contents right into his mouth.. munching away on the nuts..

Suddenly.. he felt the plane start to shake.. a bit of a turbulance wasn't really anything to be paranoid about.. But when he started to notice.. the passenger in front of him vanishing before his eyes.. he looked back at the bag of peanuts to question what was really in those nuts. A worried look with a sudden bad taste in his mouth.. he quickly went to grab a bottle of water to wash away whatever possibly drugged him! BUT when he went to grab his water, that too was gone. And more passengers started to disappear quicker and faster! Until.. the plane itself disappeared.. and he was left in the air.. with his carry-on.

"Oh. My. God."

His eyes shifted towards his carry on bag.. quickly he snatched it from the air and held it close to him before he allowed himself to free fall! His carry-on contained about third of a million dollars in cash. He was not about to let that thing disappear with the rest! Just when Rusty thought his life was at it's end.. he felt himself stop in thin air.. not only that.. but he found himself in a completely different place. Noise of chaos started to echoe in his ears.. Slot machines going off.. and other sorts of noises a Game room would contain.. Did he just hear bowling pins fall? Rusty stood still frozen by what just had happend.. He brought that strap of his carry on over his shoulder.. a hand went over the same shoulder.. and he pinched the very flesh of his bicep to wake himself up if he was in some sort of dream.. Or what if he died? He truly didn't know.. The environment was very surprisingly suiting for the man.. that's what spooked him the most.

He started to walk among the game room.. noticing a few people playing their games on the slot machines and arcade games.. his eyebrows were raising up as high as it could go.. and that shocking expression seized to stay on him.. Rusty was just so tripped out by the whole situation he was too caught up in his mind to even think about speaking to the gamers.. raising those sunglasses that managed to stay over his eyes and resting them over his head.. And as calmly as any shocked person could be,

"What in God's name were in those peanuts."

Katara watched him curiously. She began to wonder what was in that bag of his. He looked more protective over it than a person should have been if mere clothing were contained there. Then again, maybe it really was clothing with sentimental value to it or something. She had no way of knowing and no reason to make it any of her business, so she remained silent on that specific topic.

“It is nice here as far as prisons go,” The waterbender admitted, “but I do miss my friends and family a lot.” In truth it had taken her only a few moments of being in the Mirage to realize she missed her family and friends. Ever since she read the tablet she craved their comforting presences. “We don’t really have a choice in sticking around for a while, but I’m determined to return to my home land. I don’t care how long it takes. I’m not going to just give up.” It was encouraging that he seemed to want out of here, too, even if it would only happen eventually, but for all she knew once he got a taste of this place he might never want to leave. She couldn’t pressure him to help her if he didn’t want to do it.

Katara shrugged her shoulders at his question. “I guess not. I just tried to lean against the frame and I couldn’t even get in that far. Look.” She placed a hand against the opening to the room and pushed, but her hand didn’t even budge. “I’ve never had anyone in my room, or tried to go into someone else’s room. Maybe there’s a way to have others in your room, but I don’t know what it would be. This place is so strange with some of the things it has to offer. Did you know pictures can move and make sound?”

The femme smiled, glad she’d had it right that he was hungry, but his modern jargon was completely lost on her. “What’s a ‘stewardess’? I take it there was a village on the plain where you lived then?” Katara asked, completely mistaking his meaning of airplane to mean that of a terrain; after all, the two words were pronounced the same.

Katara led the way to the restaurant, and took a seat across from Rusty at a table. Almost immediately a stone golem in a fine suit was there, looking down at them as it waited for an order. “I’ll have giant sea crab meat with rice, please, and water to drink.” She smiled at Rusty, “They have any food imaginable here. They have food here that I ate in my home world that I haven’t had since I was in the Southern Water Tribe. It’s amazing.”

Rusty did admire her determination. There really needed to be more people like this. Maybe if there was more people here they may just find a way out. Then again it is tiny people vs a Planet. A Planet they are now inhabiting. Rusty still finds it completely unreal but he keeps finding himself believeing it.

"We'll find a way back. Easy Come; Easy Go, right?" He smiled. Then he turned his attention back to how she can't get into his room.

"Wow.. that is Strange. I'm sure we'll find a way to break this barrier too..Did you just say pictures that move and make sound? Sounds like a film you're talking about. We have those where I come from."

Then she asked about the Stewardess.. and he completely forgot she was not from Earth. He laughed lightly amused by how she took the word 'Plane' differently. But it was cute.

"Oh not that kind of plain. Where I'm from we have these huge metal transportation systems with wings called an AirPlane. And sometimes we just call them Planes for short. And a stewardess is like a waittress on the airplane. She was a very bad waitress." Something about Rusty, he always needed to have something to drink or food in his hand. It's a comfort zone for him.

When they finally approached the resturant.. and they took a seat.. his eyes grew big and wide when he saw what she said to be a Golem. It was the most unreal mind mending thing he's seen. It almost made him forgot to speak.

"OH. I'll take a Burger with fries. And to drink I'll take a Rum and Coke." He looked back at Katara..after the golem left. "Now that's some service. Wish we had that on Earth.-- Tell me more about this Water Tribe. It's not everyday I run into a girl from a different planet."
