Can't close my eyes, I'm wide awake

[braavado]

[When Korra walks into the Spirit Portal, her immediate thought is, it shouldn't feel like this. There's an intense sort of heat that almost feels like it's burning right through her, though she can see that her skin remains unmarked. Korra barely has time to wonder what's going on before there's an odd snap of pressure that knocks her out.

(Unknown to her, a burst of light had lit up the Briggs mountains around her when she arrived, alerting anyone in the area.)

The world is white around her when she comes to, the heat from before replaced by the familiar cold of a snow storm. Korra staggers to her feet, hugging her arms around herself as she examines her new surroundings. This...definitely isn't the Spirit World. Korra knows she's going to have to find out why the portal had acted so weirdly, but first: finding out where she is is the priority.]

Hello? Is anyone around here?

[Korra calls out, not really expecting a reply.]

[The objections that Ed had to him going out alone are still ringing in Al's ears as he trudges through the high snow; but the fact remains, he is the only one for whom the cold holds no danger. He can keep walking for days without the need for food or sleep, he's the logical person to go for help.

He's pulled from his reverie all of a sudden by a light flaring in the sky. It looks almost akin to the light of an alchemical transmutation circle, but it's not quite right. Maybe it's one of the flares that the military use in emergency situations? Is someone trapped out here?

He changes his course at once. He needs to go and fetch help, that's true, but he can't ignore a possible person in distress. He crests the hill, a mountainous figure of metal and spikes amongst the falling snow, starting in shock when he sees the young woman huddled into herself.]

Hello? Are you hurt?!
