There is a little group of five igloos. In one direction there is water with some ice sheets floating in it, and in the other is hills of ice and snow, with a little plain of somewhat flat snow in between. Some people are walking around outside the igloos, wearing big fluffy jackets. A campfire is burning, with some people sitting around it. There are mostly kids and older women. In the distance there is a light. There are see some kids playing, with snow splashing around in unusual ways.
Bob in the Avatar universe
Bob blinks. Where am... COLD. He moves towards the campfire as quickly as possible without freaking out everyone. And only then starts freaking out. He blinks a couple of times and, while holding his hands over the fire, starts discreetly looking around. What's that light? He finally gathers courage and attempts to establish eye contact with the least threatening person in the circle.
One of the older women smiles towards bob and says
- you must be new here, welcome! Would you like a piece of seal meat?
"I'm... uh...". He hasn't eaten mammals in a long time, but this doesn't seem like the right time and place to raise his ethical concerns. Actually, food can wait too. "Maybe later. Thanks." Wait, did she say "new here"? Apparently foreigners appearing suddenly with no appropriate clothing are not too uncommon in this place. "Uhm. What is 'here', exactly?"
"Oh, you don't know?", the lady answers. "This is the northern water tribe, we're the few people who remain. Lots of people moved down south. We're used to random people showing up, looking for an Avatar or something, are you not one of them?"
