Who exactly is responsible for deciding jobs around here?

Because seriously, what about 'aspiring magician' says 'part time tailor'?

I've never sewed in my life.

[There's a slight pout in his voice.

Lies. But no one needs to know that.]

[Today on the network: a preteen girl wearing a truly impressive sweater. She gives the camera a small wave and a smile, and if you listen very closely, you can hear the sounds of pigs oinking in the background.]

Hello people, new and old! If we've never met, my name's Mabel. I hope you're having fun being a superhero so far. Or supervillain, if that's your thing, but you shouldn't be enjoying that because evil isn't cool.

But it might be helpful right now! I'm looking for anyone who's got experience with stuff like secret societies and intangible monsters that can possess people. So whether you're a bad guy or a good guy, let me know if you can help! I'm willing to pay for information in stickers and coupons.

--oh and if anyone knows whether or not you're supposed to send a wedding present when your ex-boyfriend gets married, I'd appreciate advice on that too. Thanks in advance!

[If there is one thing that Asami had been ill-prepared to leave behind by arriving in this world, it had been her busy schedule. While she has a job, being the CEO of Future Industries had kept her busy in an entirely different way. That's not to mention her hard deadlines with Varrick with the oncoming fights. She had been busy. Even when she had been running around the world with Team Avatar, she had remained busy. The idea that she now has a strict schedule with extra days is ... strange.

It's not that she's restless, though. In a way, she's relieved. With everything she needs to know, the extra time allows her to catch up.

When the video clicks on in Asami's room, it's obvious that she's been doing a fair amount of "catching up"—or starting. Within view of the camera, there are stacks of books: various engineering texts, texts on physics, texts on chemistry, texts on architecture, texts on modern civil engineering practices, and more. None of them are historically bent, and a few of them lay open at the top of the piles. Some of this is refresher for Asami, while other pieces of information are new. What is clear is this: she wants to know it all.

Asami's eyes widen when she notices that the video is already on, as she is still acclimating to this. She smiles pleasantly after a moment.]

Hello, everyone. I thought I'd introduce myself. I'm Asami Sato, and ... well, admittedly, I have a bit of a request. [This is where she's partly inspired by Hiro's post from the other day. He had asked for ideas on what to build, and while that's a good direction to go in, she has to go back to basics first.] I was wondering if anyone had any spare appliances or other electronic devices you'd like to let me have a look at. If it's broken, I can even do my best to fix it. I did a fair amount of that at home, but right now, I just want to figure out how things work. Fixing it would help, right? [She brightens at the thought.]

And I don't know that my housemates would like me taking apart the toaster again. We need that! [A beat passes, where she interjects with a brief laugh.]

Aside from that, I'd like to know how long imPorts generally stay here, and ... if it's normal for them to sometimes remember very different things from their friends from home.

Thanks in advance, everyone.
