☯ ONE. ( VIDEO, UNLOCKED. + action for caer glaem! )

[sangilak]

[ let's play a game, bilbo said. it'll be fun, bilbo said. don't use naga, your dog is a crutch. YEAH WELL YOU KNOW WHAT.

korra would've totally won within minutes if she'd been able to use her best friend for help, but pride wouldn't let her.

but now here she is, about three days later, visibly frustrated but letting it only last for a few seconds, perking up when she finally gets the locket to work. ]

Hey, who wants to help me play a game! [ despite her broad grin, this game is super not physically demanding. really!! ] See, I lost someone, and for the past three days I've been trying to find him, but, heh, I guess he's a better hider than I thought.

[ behind her, the giant polar beardog lets out a sigh, her tail thumping lazily on the floor. ]

What? [ korra turns to face the massive animal, who picks her head up, letting out a half-bark. ] Naga, you know the rules. I can't ask you for help, but Bilbo didn't say I couldn't ask everyone else...

[ naga just fixes korra with a look that says "you're doing it again" before placing her chin on her paws. ]

... Yeah, well, no one asked you. [ and so korra turns back to the locket, still pushing a grin. ] If you wanna help me find him, he's about—um... [ she lifts a hand to her stomach... lower... hip... ah... fuck it!! ] He's really short and he's got this curly hair and really hairy feet. He kinda... looks? like a kid? But don't call him that because he's really a grumpy old man and he's kinda sensitive about that.

[ and with that, korra nods once and ends the feed!! she and naga are going to be around everywhere in the castle looking for bilbo, so if you'd like to action in this post, go right ahead!! ]

Comments

visual; u will never find him

[somethingprecious]

I am not a grumpy old man! [He huffs, eyebrow raised.] Starting to give up already, Korra?

visual;

[sangilak]

You are too.

[ beat ]

And no! I'm not!

action!

[kilimanjaro]

[Kili's humming absently to himself, not paying much attention as he limps along, using his walking stick to support his weight as he moves. His leg is doing much better now, though the pain is still there and he still can't quite move without assistance.

He's not paying much attention when he blunders right into someone hard enough to knock him backwards onto the ground.]

Oh!

[Pain shoots through his bad leg and he winces, grasping for his walking stick so he can get to his feet again.] Ah, forgive me, I wasn't looking...

action!

[sangilak]

[ naga, unlike the other two dunderheads, was watching where she was going, and in a grace that belies her size, the canine-like creature is able to nimbly dance out of the way, leaving korra and kili to stumble into one another.

korra steps back a few paces with a loud oomf! but she doesn't seem (any more) frustrated (than usual), raising a hand and rubbing at the impact spot. she's about to fire off a "watch where you're going!" but seeing kili reach for the walking stick immediately kills her voice. quickly she reaches for both him and his aide to help him up. ]

It's fine! No harm done, but... [ she glances him over, reaching one hand to the flask at her hip just in case ] Are you okay?

[kingsdaughter]

[Sigrid has spent a bit of the afternoon crying, so there's some redness around her eyes, but otherwise she looks okay. Perking up at the prospect of distraction. Playing, even. She hasn't played in a long time.]

I've seen him before. I'll help you look.

[video]

[sangilak]

[ korra can see those red eyes!! but if the other girl isn't going to bring attention to it, neither is she. ]

Really?? Great!

[ 8DD ]

[video] threadjacks - i hope that's okay!!

[somethingprecious]

[For a moment he forgets about the game, recognizing Sigrid with widened eyes.]

Ah- You're Bard's daughter, aren't you? Sigrid?

[digophelia]

[ While her court is absolutely their damn minds, Alice stops to look at this, because oh, my god.

That is the cutest........... bear (?!) she's ever seen. ]

Oh, my goodness! What sort of beast is that?!

video; omgomgomg alice *^*

[sangilak]

[ ahh, now if there's any subject to cheer korra up, it's the subject of her animal guide. ]

That's Naga, she's a polar beardog, and my best friend.

[ PUFFS OUT HER CHEST, SHE'S SO PROUD, swinging the locket around to catch... naga in the middle of a huge yawn. lookatthoseteeth. ]

action; in search of a hobbit (open for anyone)

[somethingprecious]

[Admittedly it's a little harder to play a game of hide and seek against someone for almost three days now and not get caught, but the castle is large and Bilbo is small and almost completely unnoticeable if he tries hard enough.

Coming up on the end of their bet Bilbo starts to feel a little more assured in his victory. It's not that he really cares if he wins or not (it wouldn't stop him from treating Korra to a nice dinner later as an 'apology'), but this is more fun than he thought it would be.

So he's wandering the halls with a smile on his face, sticking a little closer to the walls than most people would. Considering the situation he's in he doesn't look too worried. Yet.]

[ooc; anyone can find him! he'll just promise a nice meal for anyone/everyone who can find him so that leaves more than one person with an opportunity to win against korra and get a nice dinner out of it.]

[ringwizard]

Are you... crowdsourcing hide and seek? [ Is he trying not to laugh? It sounds like it. ]

video;

[sangilak]

[ LAUGH ALL YOU WANT, it's a good distraction from everything else that's going on right now. ]

Maybe? [ ... ] What's crowdsourcing?

[ korra. ]

video;

[goldsickness]

[ This is the face of a dwarf not laughing at the 'grumpy old man' comment. ]

Was it that you misplaced him, or were you foolish enough to willingly invite a hobbit of all people into playing this hiding game with you?

video; this tag made me laugh way harder than it should have.

[sangilak]

[ FRUSTRATED NOISES ]

Look, we don't have hobbits where I come from! I didn't realize this was something they were known for!

threadjacks gently

[somethingprecious]

[Huffing.]

I'm not like you, Thorin where I get lost at the drop of a hat.

[walkingarsenal]

[While Fíli remembers this pair from the Dara retrieval fun, especially the girl's furry companion, it's her mention of Bilbo that catches his interest today.]

Won't Bilbo himself hear this?

video; threadjack

[somethingprecious]

It's alright, Fili. I think she could use the help although I doubt it'll help her much.

video

[sangilak]

[ and cue korra cracking her knuckles, smirking at the locket ]

Good. Let 'im hear it.

(static-y/hazy) video

[teaspectre]

W-what is that?!

[ Because priorities are what the hell is that dog-bear-beast. ]

video!

[sangilak]

[ and give korra... a few seconds to puzzle this out. she's not very good with technology on a good day, and this magic technology (magicnology??) is weird. ]

... Who, Naga?

[ at her name, the dog-bear-thing yawns again, flashing great big wonderful teeth before going back to sleep. ]

She's my polar beardog!

video;

[vazyol]

[ evenly. ] He is not lost if he hides for a reason.

video;

[sangilak]

[ tell her something she doesn't know, dany. ]

It was a game.

[video]

[nockgun]

Now that seems a bit unfair, you going and recruiting all these other folk to go search for such a small, wee man as that.

[At least that big damned beast isn't involved.]

video; hope you don't mind a threadjack!

[somethingprecious]

It is very unfair! I'm glad you agree.

[foreignflight]

[ Does it look like he was laughing before answering? Probably. Most definitely. ]

I think that'd still be considered cheating.

1/2

[sangilak]

[ ... ]

[glacio]

[ elsa looks amuuused ]

Have you found him yet?

[sangilak]

[ ELSA C'MON COME HELP, SHE'LL LET YOU RIDE NAGA. ]

Not yet. [ huff ] But he showed up on the locket to tease me and I'm gonna make him regret it.
