[ GOOD…… late night or super early morning, network. Witness the amazing Fire Ferrets in their natural habitat, if a bit sleep-mussed and underdressed. (Understatement, tbh.) Come on, if your pajamas aren’t “be shirtless” or “in a sports bra”, you’re just not doing things Republic City style in this weather.

The scene set in the rather large room is unnerving at best. Splashed against the background are scorch marks from recent firebending, and shadows are cast from the ripped and torn flooring — it looks like there was one hell of a fight. Off to the left, there’s a soft glow as Korra tries to heal a deep wound on her arm with her waterbending and Mako, holding a small flame in his hand for light, crouches over a dark, suspiciously person shaped thing on the floor. Next to it are two other suspiciously person shaped things, also not moving in a very “dead” fashion.

As Mako makes notes in a small logbook, he and Korra seem to be having something of a disagreement, with Korra hissing angrily and Mako trying to calm her down with steady, hushed tones. While they talk, he meticulously searches through the clothes on the things — let’s be honest, they’re corpses, three of them, lying on the bedroom floor — gathering the evidence he finds and apparently writing it down in his little book. He adds whatever he finds to a growing pile of trinkets... which at this point consists largely of knives, garotting rope, and other sketchy murderous tools. With a soft trill, the two cats who adopted Mako jump up on the bed, looking shaken and huddling protectively around a small green and gold snakelike creature. Naga, on the other hand, seems to be licking something from her lips with her long tongue, looking quite proud of herself, tail absently tapping on the mattress behind the kittens.

Bolin, looking suitably confused and sporting an oddly smug Pabu-scarf, is taking up the foreground and accepting the responsibility of having his priorities in place. Unlike some people, wow. ]


Uhhhh. Hey. So my name’s Bolin. Nice to meet you if I haven’t already met you. Nice to see you again if I have? [ You know, whichever. ] Got a quick question for anyone who could answer, it’d be great to have it cleared up: is there like a... running history of people getting a pet back for a boon, only then a month later it turns out that their pet can also grow about eight feet and tackle an assassin? Just. Just wondering.

[ He stops. Glances back at Mako and Korra. Purses his lips, and turns back. ]

Okay, so, one more question. About the assassin thing. Like… are they also a thing with a running history here?

[ in the background, the dead body rummaging and healing krew has finished their argument, and in the ensuing silence, you can hear their last snippy comments before the feed ends. ]

At least no one was kidnapped.

[ Mako says, completely deadpan. Korra’s eyes narrow and she shoots back: ]

Or arrested, huh Officer?

[ WOW, RUDE, KORRA. ]

Yeah, basically. Greek demigods aren't expected to live past twenty, but they train us anyway, just in case. It helps us stay alive as long as we can, at least.

Yeah, I'm not buying it, either, [ he says with a shrug. It's like it isn't a big deal, but as far as Leo is concerned, it really isn't yet. They've got a goddess to put to sleep. One thing at a time, okay? ] We just don't have a safe haven after camp, and we can't stay there forever. New Rome's totally different, though - the Romans live out their entire lives there, safe and sound. They even have a college, of all things. I was thinking, after this war and everything back home is all done and over with, we could maybe look into making another city like that, but for Greek demigods, so we won't have to worry about it anymore.

[ Wait a minute. ]

Assassin issues?
commandertoolbelt: (stop talking already)

[personal profile] commandertoolbelt 2015-02-06 03:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Why would they want to kill you? You don't look all that dangerous.

[ And he seems like a cool guy, too. What gives? ]
commandertoolbelt: (resigned)

[personal profile] commandertoolbelt 2015-02-10 03:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Guess so, [ he muses, recalling his mother's fate. ] Maybe you just know someone they think is a threat? That's happened to me before, or... someone I knew.
commandertoolbelt: (crazy no this is totally normal)

[personal profile] commandertoolbelt 2015-02-12 04:01 pm (UTC)(link)
[ There's a bark of laughter. ]

Dude, solving serious issues on a deadline is, like, my life. My first quest? We had about three days to get across the entire country and save the queen of the gods. It's kind of stressful, yeah, but it can be done.

They've got a king, too, you know, [ he says in amusement. ] They need someone to lead them, or we'd all be in the middle of the chaos from them fighting all the time.

But yeah, we did save her, just in time. So I'm betting you guys can do it, too.
