☯ 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!! ]

[ 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.

[glacio]

[ t e m p t i n g ]

It sounds to me as if you'll have to start adding a little more strategy to your seeking techniques.

Have you been keeping track of where you've already looked? Also, do you know if he's been in that same hiding spot the whole time, or has he been moving as time goes on? Three days is an awfully long time to hide in one spot.

[ mmmight be teasing Korra for not finding him yet yes ]

[sangilak]

[ ... offer to ride naga rescinded!!! (maybe)

(ok not really)

just this look, elsa. ]

Bilbo's three feet tall and no, he hasn't been staying in one spot. [ which is why it's been so tough to find him. ] But I'm not giving up.

[ also, yes, she's been keeping track of where she looked, but since bilbo's mobile, it doesn't help much SOB. ]

[glacio]

Well that hardly seems fair, in a kingdom so great. [ ...wait ] Did you say he could change his hiding spot, to heighten the challenge?

[ she kind of knows u well enough by now gurl ]

I could help you search, if you'd like. I do have a few years of practice being seeker under my belt.

visual; hope you don't mind a threadjack!

[somethingprecious]

Hopefully not! She is running out of time, though.

visual; not at all!

[glacio]

Oh, you've set a time limit? Or are you simply tired of hiding for so long? I certainly wouldn't blame you if it was the former.

[ kekekeke ]

visual;

[somethingprecious]

To be completely honest I'm not doing that much hiding. Hobbits are just very good at being undetectable when we choose to be. It helps us keep a life of privacy, mostly.

visual;

[glacio]

So you're just being careful not to be detected, moreso than hiding?

That's not really how you play the game, you know.

[ but she's amused as hell so like, that's obviously fine by her ]

visual;

[somethingprecious]

I had hoped a little bit of a challenge would make it more interesting for her. Neither of us are children after all.

Ah... I think I may have bitten off more than I can chew, though.

visual;

[glacio]

Oh? How so? [ worryworryworry yes elsa is a worrier ] You're not in any danger, are you?

visual;

[somethingprecious]

Hm? [He waves a hand, eyes wide.] Oh no! No, I just think I may not be, ah... competitive enough for Korra's enthusiasm.

[At least he hopes he isn't in any danger. No need to worry Elsa though.]

But don't worry about me! I've survived much worse than some game of very intense hide and seek. Thank you for your concern! I do appreciate it.

[glacio]

Oh. Well, good, I'm glad for that.

And I imagine most people find themselves unprepared when pitted up against Korra's enthusiasm for competition. I know I am. She's quite the force to be reckoned with.
