[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

[avatar_state]

Understood!

[incandescentfaith]

[And maybe...a half hour later. KNOCK KNOCK]

[avatar_state]

[She's down to answer it, already in workout gear, a towel around her neck and another one in her hand.]

Pretty fast.

[She looks past her shoulder, only half-kidding with her next remark.]

Nothing chasing you, I hope?

[incandescentfaith]

No, I flew. I did have to kill an ogre on the way here though.

[you know, just normal senshi things.]

I don't smell do I?

[avatar_state]

Wait, an actual ogre?

[And she makes an experimental sniff]

Maybe a little, like, smoke-y? But to be fair, that could be anything around here.

[incandescentfaith]

Yeah. Or something near enough to an ogre to be indistinguishable.

[She shrugs.]

I do naturally smell of woodsmoke, so I guess that's normal enough. As long as it isn't ogre.

[avatar_state]

[She stepped out of the way to let her in, shaking her head.]

This place just keeps getting weirder and weirder It'll be sea monsters next.

And a sea.

[incandescentfaith]

About that...

[Rei steps in, rubbing her temple.]

I've been getting visions of the sea for days now.

[avatar_state]

[Well that gives her pause. She closes the door behind her.]

And...how accurate have these visions been in the past...?

[incandescentfaith]

I'm gifted with prophecy, Korra. My visions rarely don't come true.

[And that's...not necessarily a comfort. she knows that.]

Though the sea isn't necessarily bad.

[avatar_state]

[It'd be nice if there was some variation, now and again. Or if the prophecy were about being invaded by adorable baby turtleducks! But it never seems to work that way.]

Anywhere else, I'd agree with you whole-heartedly.

[She led the way towards the gym, handing her a towel on the way.]

But..it's good to see you again.

[incandescentfaith]

You too.

[Rei takes it, following along without comment.]

So. you want me to spot you first?

[avatar_state]

[She nods, pushing open the door to what is really a cobbled-together gym. She flicks on a light switch.]

It's not exactly a Grade-A gym, but...it'll do.

[She starts to stretch out, a bit tenderly.]

[incandescentfaith]

A gym is a gym. We don't need much.

[Rei moves to do the same, rolling her shoulders, taking care to watch Korra.]

[avatar_state]

[What she might notice are the slowly healing marks of some deep, ugly bruises along her midsection and sides. The tentacles in the mist did their damage.]

True enough. I dunno, I feel like we should have a headquarters or something and...[She waves it away.]

It's like we're fighting a war against this place.

[Finally, she moves into position under the weights.]

[incandescentfaith]

[She does note them. And...wonder at the source. She'd had tentacle friends for weeks now.]

We are fighting a war with this place. We have been since we got here. It just isn't the traditional kind.
