☾ 001 - Boyfriendblocked ☽

[spiritblocked]

[Korra wanted out. Out of the Avatar House and into somewhere more spacious. She appreciated the kindness of the people from her past offering to let her and Asami stay as long as they liked, but Korra needed to breathe. She needed to be somewhere that didn't have Legendary People or Master Benders everywhere she turned. An inferiority complex began to grow because she was the only Avatar without airbending. It stuck like a thorn in her foot. So she and Asami moved out, and into House 58. It wasn't a big move, and Korra felt weird taking a house all to themselves... but it was probably best to stick near the Gaang, even if Simply Existing was causing emotional problems for each other. Korra and Asami didn't have much to move, but the taller girl insisted on shopping so one can probably find Korra moving interior decorating things into the house, practicing bending outside the house, or even making faces at items in shop windows/her reflection.

When she and Asami have settled in Korra attempts at making a voice post in the solitude of her room. She does her best, but the entry is fail-locked from Asami 30% Filtered. HOW DOES I FILTER. Hopefully Asami isn't looking for a post from Korra and it'll slip by unnoticed.]

Hey, uh... Luceti, could you help me out? There's this guy I really like back home, and he's dating this girl that... I thought was just some prissy, elegant, beautiful girl who was too perfect. But actually - I don't know. She seems pretty cool here, I guess.

What do you think I should I do?

[Gee, he understood that quandary. kinda.]

Date them both.

[spiritblocked]

This isn't funny!

[markofthewise]

[Oh Korra. That's some. Filter. Really. He's not even going to bother.]

I don't know if I'd say prissy.

[spiritblocked]

That was before I got to know her? She's rich back home.

[voice]

[thedicearecast]

Might want to work on your filters, first off.

[voice]

[spiritblocked]

This is my first time using this thing.

[voice]

[emp3thy]

Be friendly.

[Everyone else already told her about the filterfail.]

[voice]

[spiritblocked]

...That's it? [That's all you have?]

[breezing]

You already asked this!

2/3 I LIED

[breezing]

[ Oh. Wait. Timebending. Pause, recalculating. WELL, Ikki is gracious enough to give you her advice twice. :D Lucky you, Korra! ]

So what I said last time was that the best way to win someone's heart is to brew a love potion of rainbows and sunsets and hearts and stars and then they should sprout wings except we've already done that so you can skip that step, but you should fly to a magical castle in the sky where you get married and eat clouds with spoons and use stars as ice cubes in your moonlight punch for always!

But!

3/3

[breezing]

Is this important? If you like Asami as a person, you should just go play with her.

[Ven's not gonna call her out on her filter! He had a hard time working them at first, anyway, and she's already had enough of that, probably.

But, man, liking somebody who's already got someone special? That's... not something he's particularly used to, having only seen worlds where princesses and princes had true love and all that. It's enough to catch his interest, but boy is it awkward territory.

If the two are already happily dating, then trying to get in the way of that might be a little selfish, but... the heart's unpredictable. She probably can't help how she feels.

So, by the time he does speak up, one suggestion comes to mind-- one that's a little bit shaky.]

Well, have you tried talking to them about it? Just... letting 'em know how you feel.

voice/filtered

[spiritblocked]

You can...

You can just do that?

[voice / filtered]

[oftheland]

[oh, man, teen romance. that sure was an awkward time oh no wait it wasn't because Giovanni is and has always been the swagmaster.]

Well, it does sound as though you haven't gotten to know her too well as of yet. Perhaps you should do that before you discuss your feelings about the matter?

[voice / filtered]

[spiritblocked]

[Giovanni, SWAGBENDER.]

What, you think they'll change?

voice;

[hachikuji]

Ah the toils of teenage romance. Here is my advice - confess. Confess right away and without fear in your heart. The last girl I know who did that swept the guy right off his feet, not literally of course.

voice;

[spiritblocked]

But he's not here right now.

[Voice]

[doubleppk]

[Lupin, it is a REALLY good thing Fujiko hasn't bothered to try cracking that lock. Guard your journal safely man.]

She's already dating him? Let him go. It's nice that you can see another side to the girl here, but men are not worth competing over.

[.... This coming from Fujiko is the most bullshit hypocrisy ever by the way, but that aside...]

That or figure out all her weaknesses so you can be even better than her and win the guy over if you think he's really worth the effort. [Yeah, that's sadly more Fujiko's style.]

[Voice]

[spiritblocked]

That's confusing advice.

[And both options sort of suck. She... wasn't about to compete over him, but she also really isn't into doing nothing for it.]

[ voice ]

[lunas]

Um.. You know, I've actually had the same happen back home! [ Usagi laughs, but.. it's a bit awkwardly, really. ]

But isn't the right thing to do just leaving them alone if they're happy together?

[ voice ]

[spiritblocked]

But what do I do about me? [Is she just supposed to watch them kiss and snuggle and- UGH.]

[action just to be different]

[tsuntrader]

[...Well that definitely looks like a girl making faces at her vague reflection in a shop window. Or maybe she's just looking at her face. It's hard to tell. ...Does she even notice him? He tilts his head a little.]

...There's nothing wrong with your face. ...Or on it. [Is she just trying to make a funny face...?]

[Action hells yeah]

[spiritblocked]

[Caught off guard the girl whips around, and then presses her back up to the glass.]

I wasn't- [Oh, it's just a kid? Korra takes a step forward and points an accusing finger.] Shut up.

[powdersup]

[And then... later in the day, Asami's interior decorating their new house. They got some furniture, rugs, silverware, all that stuff. Asami's not actually super familiar with furnishing and wasn't expecting how hard of work it was to put up new drapes or to make a rug totally flat, not to mention moving the furniture back onto said rug. Which was why she's dressed much lighter and much lass flattering than usual, being as how she's getting their home in order. And frowning at the results of what she's doing

(which at the moment is adjusting some drapes)]

[spiritblocked]

[Korra is moving more furniture back onto the rug. Why did they get such a huge rug again? In the beginning of the day she complained, but when she realized this was probably helping Asami cope the girl shut up and just followed directions. After setting the coffee table in place she gives the room a good, long stare.]

I dunno, does this look right to you?

[Voice]

[savedtheworld]

There's another girl from your time here who's real prissy? I thought the only ones were you, Lin, Asami and my granddaughters. Who is she?

[Voice]

[spiritblocked]

Don't... tell her I said this, but the girl I used to think was prissy is Asami.

[video]

[cannotcrossdress]

[Chizuru looks on with sympathy. She couldn't say she's run into the same problem in her experience, but she could imagine. When there were such lovely people back home, like Kimigiku and Hijikata...and then the others with such sharp skill and strong purpose...

...it felt almost like they were out of her league.

But that wasn't going to help, here! This girl was looking for help, and even if she didn't have all the answers, she could try to help!]

Is the problem that you still like the guy, or that you ended up liking his girlfriend as well?

[video]

[spiritblocked]

The problem is that I like the guy... but now I would feel bad if I tried to take him from the girlfriend. She's actually kind of nice, and I don't know what to do.
