better together

When; Tuesday, July 23
Rating; PG
Characters; Korra and Mako
Summary; Korra and Mako team up to fight crime! Illness! Plague! Whatever needs fighting!
Log; [Korra sits on the front steps of the beach house, fiddling with her device as she thinks. She'd promised Rowena that she'd help her get her knife back, but she still hasn't figured out the best way to do it. She keeps second guessing herself, hesitating, uncertain. After all, what can she do? She doesn't have her powers. She's still walking with a cane. She's basically useless.

(And yet...and yet, she's getting sick of shame. A part of her is ready and aching to do something, even if she does suck. Something's gotta give.)]

Comments

[anatural]

A petition? [She frowns, trying to remember.] I don't think so. [She doesn't really remember her dreams these days. There are nights where she doesn't dream at all -- her favorite nights -- and then there are most nights, when she dreams about the things that have happened to her and wakes up with no memories, only a sense of pain and terror and lingering loss.]

What else do you remember about it? [She may not have had the dream, but it still sounds like something that has significance.]

[flammiferous]

That no one signed it.

[He stops and turns on his heel to face Korra. His voice turns low, and he holds up his hands like he's about to convey the importance of a secret.]

Korra, this is going to sound crazy, but I think I need to sign a petition.

[anatural]

.....you need to sign a petition. [yup. that sounds kind of crazy.]

[flammiferous]

[He lets his hands drop back down at his sides.]

I don't know how else to take it.

[anatural]

[After another moment of "weeeeird", Korra shrugs.] It's the City. [Weird shit is what this place does.]

How do we find a petition?

[flammiferous]

We go into town and look for one.

[He begins walking again.]

[anatural]

Okay. Does it have to be about something specifically?

[flammiferous]

We'll see.

[But first they have to get through the brush of the forest. He looks around, both wary and fascinated by so much nature. Clearly he's a city boy.]

[anatural]

[Korra watches Mako watching nature, and it makes her grin affectionately. She's an arctic girl, but she still loves the forest and being around nature. (It's an Avatar thing.)]


Don't get out much, do you, City Boy?

[flammiferous]

[He delivers her a crooked smile.] It took you a while to get used to the city, if I remember correctly.

[Then he shrugs.] You're right, it's different.

[anatural]

Cities are weird. [She makes a face.] Too many people.

[flammiferous]

Yeah, well. Nature's poisonous. [It's more of a fact than an incriminating statement. He moves his arm out of the way of a shrub adorned with shiny leaves. That's the rule of thumb, isn't it?

ANYWAY.] Is that why you moved to the beach?

[anatural]

[She shakes her head.]

The apartment was getting too crowded. It was me, Jinora, Tohru, Bei Fong, Naga, and then all the other animals. We needed more space. Besides, Naga's better off by the ocean where she can keep cool.

[flammiferous]

Makes sense.

[He pockets his hands. He's a little curious...] So- the last time Bolin and Asami and I were here... was it just us?

[anatural]

[She nods.]

And Naga. We had this cramped little two bedroom right in the City. She hated it there.
