Tyler's third day on Mirage began much later than the day before as the blond man didn't haul himself out of bed until at least noon. He had stayed up late the night before poking around the resort on his own, partly to get a feel for the place and partly to see if he could track down Brigitte. Yes, the last time he had seen the brunette she had locked him outside to face certain doom but she was also the only person Tyler knew before arriving here so he felt driven to track her down and see if she knew what the hell had happened. Of course, fate conspired against Tyler so he had absolutely no luck and finally went back to his room around 3am. When he awoke at 12pm, he practically fell out of bed and stumbled toward the shower.

There was nothing like a piping hot shower to wake a man up though and soon Tyler was feeling more energetic by the time he got out.He soon remembered that he had promised to meet up with Katara that afternoon at the coffee bar. Deciding that he wasn't particularly hunger, Tyler simply brushed his teeth, combed his hair and got dressed. It was kinda cool that his room came equipped with almost everything Tyler could need, like clothes and junk. He picked out a pair of dark blue jeans and a white button down shirt with a wife-beater under it. Was he dressing up a little? Perhaps but c'mon, he was meeting a pretty girl for coffee! He couldn't exactly go in stained shirts and ripped jeans, could he?

After leaving his room and unit A, Tyler made his way to the main building and down the long corridor toward the coffee bar. Aside from one golem, he saw no one along the way and silently wondered what the other residents were up to. There hadn't been any mandatory activities for today, something Tyler was kinda glad for. Bowling had been fun but if he had been forced to go horseback riding or something like that earlier he might have punched someone.

It was about a little after one when Tyler got to the coffee place and since he didn't see Katara right away, Tyler headed in to take a seat at the counter. Another golem was there in the back so Tyler called out to him. "Can I get double double here?" Of course Tyler was speaking Canadian lingo for a two sugar two cream coffee so he realized he probably should explain. Yet just as he opened his mouth the golem came over and laid the coffee down in front of him. "Thanks", he murmured before taking a sip.

Katara beamed. It was rare to find a person who was so amazed by bending. In her world everyone knew about it, and she wasn’t the only one with the gift. The most amusing part was the fact that those tricks weren’t even close to the real power she could wield with her bending. “Thanks. Well, now you know one person who can waterbend. What is ‘shit’?” The last question was genuine curiosity. She heard him use it before, when they were bowling yesterday, but he had used it negatively. However, now he was using it in a completely different way. It was confusing.

“If this place is supposed to be similar to your home world, then this is all very strange to me. I didn’t know pictures could move and make sound. The closest I’ve ever come to the technology your world seems to have is when I would see the inventions in the Fire Nation, but even those weren’t nearly as far along as all of this.”

Katara’s eyes moved toward where his gaze had gone. Computer Room? What was a computer? She followed him to find out what it was. Peaking over his shoulder she saw just what a computer was. It didn’t look all that strange. She had never seen anything like it, but none of them were active, so she only saw black screens staring back at her. “No, my world doesn’t have them. I don’t mean to dash you hopes, Tyler, but I think if the Planet wanted us to be able to contact those we left behind there would be an easier way.” Even as she spoke, though, a surge of hope was winding it’s way through her belly. If he could contact his people, maybe she could contact hers. “Trying can’t hurt, though. How do they work?”
