baby ballbuster

[anatural]

When; March 9-10
Rating; PG
Characters; Korra, Hei, Tohru, Jinora, Lin Bei Fong, Miles, and anyone else who wants in
Summary; Korra's been bb!fied. Again.
Log; She's just getting off of work when the curse hits. One moment she's glaring murder at some lecher dumb enough to leer at her, and the next she's four years old.

The people of the Underground are familiar enough with curses. They just laugh at the little ballbuster. One of them takes advantage of her size and confusion to pick her up.

"LET ME GO!" she screams, and bursts of flame shoot from her flailing hands. The crowd jumps back to avoid the fire, but they stick around, still laughing.

Korra tries earthbending, and manages to hit one man with a rock to the crotch. The crowd doubles over.

"Now she's a real ball buster!" someone shouts.

The little girl struggles and screams and uses all the bending she knows, but she can't break free.

I can.

[Because it's cool. Jinora was ten yesterday, she gets it, but doing such powerful things for the sole purpose of showing off seems wrong.

The airbender decides to go for a distraction. Assuming little Korra is at all like the Korra she knows...] How about you? What kind of moves do you know?

[Korra doesn't know any real moves, not yet -- but she has made up a few tricks of her own. She creates a ring of water in the air and sends a burst of flame through it.]

threadjack?

[lawbender]

[ This is when Lin appears. She's heard about Korra's bb-fication, but it's another thing to see it in person. ]

I don't know if encouraging her to bend is a good idea. She's destructive enough as is.

[ Lin will just stay back here by the door. ]

always!

[bookbending]

Did you make that one up?

[Oh, hello, Lin. Jinora smiles serenely (the serenity is due, in large part, to her plan to leave the beach house as soon as she can).]

Chief Bei Fong. I don't think there's any way to stop her from bending.

huzzah!

[anatural]

[Korra scowls at the older lady.]

AM NOT!

[She bends some water out of the ocean, her tongue sticking out in concentration, and creates a crude ice castle in front of Jinora. Take that, old lady!]

[lawbender]

[ Lin can't deny it: Korra does have remarkable talent. And Jinora has a point. ]

Water is fine.

[bookbending]

And keep the fire and earthbending to a minimum, if you don't mind. I like our house intact.

[anatural]

[She crosses her arms and scowls at them both. First Li, now this old lady and Jinora. Nobody wants her to bend!]

[lawbender]

I think a 'only bending outdoors' rule is best. Carry on.

[bookbending]

[And this would be Jinora, attempting to make a quiet escape.]

[anatural]

[Korra is distracted by making a face at Lin and doesn't notice Jinora sneaking away.]

[lawbender]

[ Lin makes a face back. She is not always a good adult. ]

[polarbaby]

[IT'S ON LIKE DONKEY KONG.]

[lawbender]

[ After a moment, Lin actually laughs. She can't out-silly a determined baby. ]

You are rather difficult, aren't you.

[polarbaby]

[The laugh gets a bit of a giggle out of Korra too. Easy to distract, this little one is.]

That's what my GranGran says.

[lawbender]

I sympathize with her. [ She's quiet for a moment, but then has to give into curiosity. ] Do you know any earthbending yet?

[polarbaby]

[Plz. Korra stamps her foot and summons a large rock out of the earth.]
