IC INBOX \ House Details (Deerington)

[avatar_state]

Hi! You've reached Korra! Umm, I think this is recording? Maybe? If you can hear me you're supposed to...

[The sound of rustling paper, a note being picked up and read from.]

Leave a brief message after the beep. Wait, do I do the beep or does i-

BEEP

[Luz hot up and hugged Korra fiercely. Look, a lot has happened, and as far as showing weakness and being vulnerable, Luz was only barely making it work. With Korra she didn't have to].

Thank you. I really, really needed this.

[avatar_state]

[She smiled and hugged her back.]

Hey, I know. And you can get it anytime you need.

[avatar_state]

Wait, woah, hang on - you have a robot eye?

Like...[She imitates robot movements.] Those things in Bolin's Movers? Specifically in Nuktuk Versus the Platinum Monster? It was part of this bigger serial about Nuktuk fighting off a trio of evil scientists with bending powers, and it was really...

[She paused, her fan side showing.]

Sorry, robot eye?

[onekindsoul]

Yeah! This thing isn't for show!

[She pokes at her metal sort of eye patch on her face. And the shutters on the red lens open and close almost like eyelids.

She gets a little swept up in Korra's story though.]

Yeah- A little. I uh- Well I got attacked back in January and lost my old one in a big old mess.

Some friends helped me build this one to replace it.

But if you're into robots I have a friend I from home I need to tell you about!

[There's a pause before she adds in.]

But you've gotta tell me more about these Movers. Does Nutuk end up beating the platinum monster? What about the sceintiest!? Does he always run around in that outfit. Doesn't it get cold?

[avatar_state]

[She grins, flexing an arm]

This is about as much as we wear sometimes, in the Southern Water Tribe - we shrug off the cold like nothing doing.

And you better believe he does, he...hey, wait, have you ever seen one of his Movers? He's got them here with him, and I've seen saying we need to have a night watching them...

[imaglyphwitch]

I know, and thanks. I'll try not to abuse it!

[avatar_state]

[She gave her another squeeze]

You won't, I'm sure.

Good place to end?

[imaglyphwitch]

[onekindsoul]

[Snap. That girl looked strong.]

Oh-That's cool! We have a place kind of like that back at home-Mantle and Atlas, but even they wear jackets a lot of the time.

I haven't seen any of them! I just found out that he was actually here and not just his statue.

I'd be down for a mover night! Oh! They must be like the movies we have back in my world-and other worlds! That makes sense and it's super clever!

I'll bring the popcorn!

[avatar_state]

Oh, yeah, I had that explained to me. Apparently you even do yours in colour!

[That part really enthuses her, quite frankly.]

[onekindsoul]

They do! Glad to hear you're hip to all the new things going on.

But are yours all in black and white? That's amazing~! Those are freakin' classics back where I'm from.

We might have to swap between the two. Get the full experience!

[avatar_state]

[She looks very confused at that.]/small>

...I have both hips?

But ok! I can definitely do that!

[onekindsoul]

Oh no- It's like an expression. Like you get it-I think.

[avatar_state]

Oooooh, ok. Sorry, the slang from other worlds is...hard. Idioms and stuff, you know?

When I saw the word 'hot dogs' as food here, lemme tell you, I had some questions.

Re: CW: implied genocide; talk about genocide in link

[borntolove]

[Ten is thinking about that one time in paricular. There's a worn face on Ten. Those brown eyes are clearly not human. Ten gives Korra a firm head nod]

Thanks for being understanding.

Text, June. UN: Hino

[incandescentfaith]

How are you holding up, Korra?

[avatar_state]

[She's a bit surprised - and relieved - to get the text.]

Had to take some time off to heal up - too many knocking-arounds - so I'm a bit better.

And, somehow, Asami is here.

[incandescentfaith]

Are you okay? Do you need anything?

I'm glad to hear about Asami, though worried for her. I know she means a lot to you.

[avatar_state]

We're ok for food and security, for now. Moved into the manor, house was too damaged.

And I am too. But she's the smartest people I know, and a brilliant fighter. And she'll make friends who'll watch her back almost as closely as I will.

How have you been?

[incandescentfaith]

I've been as well as one can be. Physically fine. Mentally fine. Just worn down.

Everything seems to be falling apart. But, I did what I think is right.

You might be happy to know I didn't decide to kill Mother Superior.

[avatar_state]

And thanks to Mako, you may be happy to know I opted to let Cynthia go.

Which was hard, but there was no choice there, when I saw her.

[incandescentfaith]

It's what she wanted. I think that's the best we could have done.

I didn't let Mother Superior awaken though. I just left her egg alone because I want her to remain in limbo. I don't want to think of what she'd do if she woke up.

[avatar_state]

I'm so sorry for what happened to her. What was done to her.

I understand.

[incandescentfaith]

I am too. It's wrong.

This whole world is wrong.

How are you handling it all? I know you wanted to stay as pacifistic as you could.

[avatar_state]

Asami's here now, so I'm sticking closer to the manor, until she's settled.

I needed the time to heal anyways. And I'm having to accept I can't be the difference to any of this - and I was just grinding myself down by trying.

As you can imagine, I don't like it.
