[ 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. ]

[ korra picks up her locket, glancing over this reply with a confused expression. ]

... What is that?

[ she bounced back quickly after that attempt on her life. just another day in the life of avataria ]

[ aaand heres mako, leaning in to throw some shade, ]

Maybe you should let them, that thing looks useless.

( WOW SHE IS SO OFFENDED... )

It's a dog!

[ oH MY GOD YOU GUYS ]

Pets aren't supposed to be useful, guys. It's about companionship! And, uh... was it Prada? Prada, right?

( 10 points to hufflepuff, way to go bolin )

Thank you. Yes. His name is Prada. ( YOU get a smile and YOU get a smile )

[ rolls his eyes tbh ]

( you're just mad that bolin is talking to pretty girls and you're insulting them wooooooow )

[ you're just mad that he's hot AND an asshole ]

( he's exactly her type, it's true. lydia martin/hot assholes otp )

Okay, Prada! Prada is obviously a companion. And... yeah, I hope they didn't magic up your dog without permission, too. I mean it was pretty useful here? But I usually like a little more input when it comes to Pabu here.

Thanks. I appreciate the luck. But maybe you should be hoping for the Monarchs instead. My screams aren't normal screams. What is he, anyway? Pabu. He's cute.

[ shoves bolin out of the way ]

He's a fireferret, though I'm pretty sure you're going to try and mesh two boring animals together to get this cute pile of fur.

He closely resembles a red panda, actually.

Pandas aren't red.

They're also referred to as a lesser panda, or a red cat-bear. It's an arboreal mammal. Technically not a panda at all. They've managed to earn the nickname firefox.

[ have you ever seen that scene in crocodile dundee?

korra hasn't, but she's doing an awfully good impression, glancing at naga over her shoulder. ]

Nnnnnooo. [ and she tips her head back as naga perks to attention, tail wagging more fast. ] That's a dog.

... That's a bear. ( are you drunk )

Bear-dog, technically. Polarbear-dog.

( lydia's going to burst out laughing ) Interspecies mating is impossible.

... Polar beardogs are their own species.

[ are you high ]

( Lydia sets Prada down and holds her hands up, palms turned to the ceiling, out to either side. She gestures with her left. ) This is a bear. ( Then she gestures with her right. ) This is a dog. In order to get beardog... ( She locks her hands together, fingers intwined. ) They have to interspecies mate, somewhere along the line.

[ excuse you lydia don't go talking to korra like that. ]

... Lemme guess, you're from a world with stuff like "wolves" and "horses" and without such majestic creatures like sky bison.

What. In the hell. Is a skybison? It sounds like a madeup fairytale creature for children.

( Lydia will talk to everyone like that she's a genius 8( and nobody else is as smart as her haven't you heard... )

[ still being a hot, unhelpful asshole over here, and he's not even looking up from whatever he's writing in his logbook while he says it. MMM LOOK AT HIS BICEPS... ]

Weird, it's almost like there are different worlds with different kinds of animals all pulled into this one...

Tell that to your angry polar bear toting friend who claims my sweet Prada ( yeah there's babytalk voice for a second, sorry bro ) isn't a dog.
