action; @ the station bc yolo.

[sangilak]

[ THERE'S A LOUD SIGH HERE and korra.

just.


shakes her head because let's explain this from the beginning. ]

That's Toph Beifong and Fire Lord Zuko. They're friends of my past life.

yolo!!

[wilder]

[What's with the sigh Korra he's totally innocent. And still confused]

Really?

But aren't they younger than...this life you?

[Nope someone hasn't heard about people being grabbed from different points in time]

[sangilak]

[ she nods, letting the attitude drop for a moment ]

Yeah, it happens. Avatar Aang was brought here when he was twelve, and I got to meet him.

[wilder]

You mean...people can be brought to this place from any point in time too? [He frowns. Oh. That could be bad.] Okay that's...annoying.

[That explains the age thing at least]

But whatever. I take it that Avatar and those two did something more important than be friends. Not that friendship's not important, but Bolin's acting like a total fangirl.

[sangilak]

[ ... drawing in a slow breath, korra picks at the fur lining of the pelt at her hips. ]

They ended the hundred year war and brought peace and balance to an ailing world.

[ this is the legacy she has to live up to, and she hasn't even come close to being as good of an avatar as aang was. she might have fun with all the perks being the avatar brings to her, and she honestly only ever has the best intentions no matter how fucked up things might get, but aang defeated fire lord ozai when he was at his most powerful. they founded the united republic of nations and built republic city from the ground up — a melting pot of benders from all nations as well as non-benders and industrialists and people looking for a brand new start.

avatar aang started rebuilding the air nomad nation with his wife katara, the woman who taught korra everything she knows about waterbending, offensive defensive and healing, and the air acolytes.

what has korra done in her time as the avatar?

couldn't airbend. had no spiritual connection. lost her bending. destroyed public property. contemplated ending her life because the next avatar could do so much better than her. escalated a war between her two sister tribes. lost her memories. lost jinora. lost her connection to her past lives, ten thousand years of avatars. got republic city choked by vines and put hundreds, maybe thousands, of people out of their homes.

she might have saved the world, prevented vaatu from taking over and drowning everyone in ten thousand years of darkness, but as far as she's concerned it's her sole accomplishment in a sea of failures. ]

backdated to when they were at the station yOLO!!!

[sangilak]

zelos where are you mako and bolin are doing heart surgery and it's not going so well

[wilder]

[...]

What.

THE DISASTER IN THE BACKGROUND

[jaywalks]

[ DONT ASK HOW IT GOT SWITCHED TO VOICE but .... it did. ]

Just rip his heart out Bolin he's dying.

[bolincredible]

It's not ripping! Are you sure you're grabbing the right thing?! Do we need to get the saw back?! [ NEVER WAS BOLIN SO TORN BETWEEN AMUSEMENT AND SHEER HORROR. ]

[jaywalks]

No, no, not the saw, try the drill. Or the hammer that worked on his ribs...

video, 9/29

[choreographics]

[So he told Zelos that if he did anything stupid, well, he'd be the first to know. Unfortunately that was before he found himself in a lake, breathing like a goddamn fish and promptly freaked out and called Korra.

So when Zelos gets his video message it's Ryan sitting on the ground outside soaking wet, hair plastered to his forehead and mollified expression on his face. But it's quick to turn into a grin.]

Hey. [Well, that's a start.] Um…you're not busy, are you? I kinda need to tell you something.

video FOREVER

[wilder]

[He hadn't heard from Ryan in awhile - well over a week. While it was a bit odd, he didn't give it too much thought or concern. Ryan was a teenager and not one he was closely connected to. Therefore, it was pretty safe to assume the teenager wouldn't want to spend all his time around a grown man. So when he gets this message, he raises an eyebrow - ]

Hey Ryan.

[He tries to think about what this is about, their discussions about powers not on the forefront of his mind. Why is the kid all wet? Did he get into a fight with Korra or some other water mage? He didn't look injured at least...]

Nah, I'm not busy. What's up?

[choreographics]

[Truth be told, Ryan's pretty sure nobody noticed he had been strangely absent for that amount of time. He's not sure he wants to touch upon what that means and that's hardly the point here. Instead, he's just trying to dry off and the look he's giving Zelos is a little unreadable even if that grin's still there.]

So…remember how we sort of talked about responsibility? [And powers.] And how I said if something happened you'd be the first to know…? [He sort of just wiggles his fingers in a "tada!" sort of motion despite being incredibly vague.]

[wilder]

[....]

[Yeah, this is very vague, Ryan. But at least it gives him a couple ideas.]

Wait. Are you talking about the powers and responsibility talk, or is this some weird Earth-culture way of telling me you're gonna get laid so you need a check-up?

[choreographics]

[…was your goal to embarrass him? Because there's a tiny flush following that and breaking through his otherwise calm demeanor.] No I'm not going to get laid! [Goddamnit Zelos. He's silent for a second before he just quirks his lips up into a smirk.]

The powers and responsibility talk. [A beat.] Wait why would you assume I'd come to you for that?

video, october 1st after the feast or smth

[showmeyourwreath]

[It's been while since she's talked to Zelos, and by a while, just a few weeks, which is totally a while when you're used to seeing your friends every single day. So, forgetting how 100% of their conversations go, or really not caring or minding for the time being, Flora greets him with a positively delighted smile.]

Hey, Zelos! How are you?

video

[wilder]

[The feed opens up and she can see Zelos- gathering up some plates and what looks like a couple used but empty wine glasses. At least, it looks like he's alone]

Oh hey, Flora! [He smiles]

I'm...fine! How about you, my dear?

video

[showmeyourwreath]

[Couples...couples of things.]

Oh...ah, am I interrupting something? I can call you back, later.

video

[wilder]

Mm?

Oh- no. It's fine! [He sets a plate down and runs a hand through his hair. Which....is it looking kinda ruffled up? Or at least, a bit messier than usual]

You're not interrupting anything, don't worry.

video

[showmeyourwreath]

[She's noticing that messier hair, Zelos!!]

Say, what's Lloyd look like?

text; sometime after moon stuff

[choreographics]

Hey.
Can we talk?

text;

[wilder]

Hey.

Sure. Did you wanna meet up or just talk over this?

text;

[choreographics]

I think this is probably better.

[There's a long pause between messages.]

I guess I just wanted to say that you were right. And...I'm sorry.

[wilder]

[Chickenwuss.]

For?

[choreographics]

...come on, really? You know what for.
