☾ 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?

[What? She follows him a little confused as to why he didn't agree with her. Wasn't she right?]

[markofthewise]

[He shouldn't need to practice! This should be just something he's good at. Closing his eyes to address a crowd just makes him feel cowardly.

Either way, this is the bar, so he's heading in now. Grabbing a seat. And stewing in the silence.]

[spiritblocked]

[She pulls up a chair with him, and sits down.]

Anything you'd recommend?

[markofthewise]

[Oh good, we can drop the previous conversation.]

Well, I like a good fruit smoothie myself. You might like a root beer float. Unless of course you want something alcoholic.

[spiritblocked]

Root beer float? Tell me about that.

[markofthewise]

Well it's root beer, with ice cream in it. That's basically it.

[spiritblocked]

Ice cream... I think I'll have that! [Excited she slaps her hands down on the table top before them. Yeah!]

[markofthewise]

[Sokka laughs at her outburst. And to think, just an hour ago he told her that the boy of her dreams wasn't into her!] Somebody's enthusiastic.

[spiritblocked]

[The power of comfort food. No matter what girl you are, ice cream is your friend.]

It's ice cream and soda- what could go wrong?

[markofthewise]

[At least until it hits your thighs...]

Well, this is Luceti, so technically lots of things. But that's a fair point.

[spiritblocked]

I'm sure it'll be great.

[markofthewise]

[He nods, about to agree, but then the bartender drops by, so he'll put in their orders. Once they're alone, he changes the subject.]

So, how long have you been probending?

[spiritblocked]

Almost a month. Made it into the Championship Tournament.

[markofthewise]

That's impressive! [Wait. He actually had no idea if it is or not.] Uh. It is impressive, right?

[spiritblocked]

Well, yeah! We're going to win the championship pot, I know it!

[markofthewise]

That's great! Pots are good. The bigger the better, I always say.

[spiritblocked]

It's crazy the amount of Yuans we could get. I've never even thought about a number that high!

[markofthewise]

I had a Yuan once. Me and a samurai tried to get him to dress up as a pregnant woman. He wouldn't go for it. So Jack just made sock puppets instead.

[spiritblocked]

Run that by me again?

[markofthewise]

[Wow, okay, that probably sounded really weird. Er.]

There was this guy, Yuan. Me and him and this samurai named Jack, we were caught in a cell by the Malnosso. We wanted to come up with a plan to jump them if they tried to get in. So we figured since Yuan was the more, you know... girly looking one, with his really long hair, that we could have him pretend to have a baby to make them come and check on us. We were still a little loopy from the drugs they injected into us. That's why Jack just made sock puppets after.

[spiritblocked]

[...And this is the guy who helped save the world?]

[markofthewise]

Yup. And then they gave me super strength for about six months. That was pretty cool. You know, once I stopped accidentally ripping doors off their hinges.

[spiritblocked]

That one does sounds pretty cool.

[markofthewise]

Yeah. I was something called a slayer. They slay vampires. [And are usually girls, but Sokka has SO much luck getting into exclusive girl jobs. His next goal is to be a girl scout or soccer mom.] Which are evil bloodsucking guys. But there weren't many of them here, so basically it was just super strength.

[spiritblocked]

Blood sucking what?
