[ 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. ]

( 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.

Yeah, well your animals sound weird and boring! Seriously, what kind of a world doesn't have buzzardwasps or tigerdillos?

Excuse me? The Papillon is an AKC-approved purebred breed of dog, also referred to as Continental Toy Spaniels, worthy of showing. They were often the chosen dog to be companions to royalty throughout history. They are noble.

There are no less than 339 breeds of dog where I'm from. They come in all sizes. From Chihuahuas as small as four to six pounds on average, sometimes lighter, to Mastiffs, which can reach in excess of 200 pounds on average. Prada is a Papillon, named for their ears resembling the wings of a butterfly, as papillon is the French word for butterfly. He's a toy companion breed. He isn't meant to be anything but a friend. He's not food, he's not an attack dog. I carry him around in a little purse.

He's a friend. ( Can you hear the silent 'you idiot' at the end of that? ) There doesn't need to be a point. He's a pet. I don't need protection from an animal. I don't need a method of transportation. I have werewolves for friends, I'm a Banshee, and I have a car. What I need is someone to curl up on my lap while I'm doing my homework, or when I'm trying to get over a bad relationship. Prada does that for me.
