Anyone know a game that takes AUs?

[avatar_amon]

No.

I have Equalists to deal with, Harmonic Convergence is a year away, I am half the Avatar I need to be, the city and by effect the world is a hair's breadth from chaos. I did not endure what I did and come this far in my life to be used by you. There is a world dependent on me. That is not my ego speaking; that is my position as the Avatar. To go to a game at this point is nothing more than one more distraction I do not need at this point.

And do not even think of sending me where I don't have my bending. That is something I'd expect from Equalist Korra, not from someone who claims to be on my side.

[Korra just cringes to the word 'Harmonic Convergence.' And thought of Jinora and Unalaq. She shook her head.]

Try not to do anything I have done.

[avatar_amon]

[Amon catches that cringe, and softens his voice accordingly.]

And what is it you did?

[i_am_avatar_korra]

[Korra explains every single detail.] I just don't know if it'll happen exactly how mine went. [She just has to deal with you being "The One."] Good luck.

[avatar_amon]

...you made no mistakes that anyone else in your situation wouldn't have. Unalaq sounds like a master manipulator, and you were dealing more pressure than anyone since Wan had ever encountered.

However, I am not sure of my own solution to this. I can bloodbend, but if word gets out the Avatar did that, even to stop a civil war or Harmonic Convergence, it would be the end of any trust people could have in me. It's why I haven't used bloodbending on the leader of the Equalists in my world.

[i_am_avatar_korra]

I wish I could have seen it. [Sighs.] You can't let him manipulate you. Of course it probably won't go the same way I did in mind. You have no idea.

What? Since when. . .? You're not the only child? [Korra shakes her head] It's illegal in Republic City. Don't forget that.

[avatar_amon]

I'm surviving being manipulated in Republic City well enough. But I will take your warnings to heart, Avatar Korra. He does not sound like a man to be crossed.

Since I was young, my father trained my brother and I in it. It was when I parted from him and found my way to a firebender family I realized I was a firebender.

Illegal or not, it may be my only option. I will go to prison or be sentenced to death in order to save the world.

[i_am_avatar_korra]

[Look! They're getting along!]

It can definitely take a hold of a person if you're not careful. So you're the son of Yakone and eldest brother to Tarrlok? [She wanted to be sure] Would you really risk the trust of people to stop one group?

[avatar_amon]

Yes, I am... although I wish people would give my mother more credit. Anything good in me is a reflection of her.

I don't know. The Equalists are ready to tear the city apart, but assuming that crisis can be dealt with, there's still Unalaq. You said he and Vaatu could pose a threat to the entire world. To stop the world from plunging into darkness, I fear I might not have a choice.

You forget, Avatar Korra: I have no access to the Avatar State. I do not even possess all the elements as you do.

[i_am_avatar_korra]

That's good right? You're mother is hardly talked about. I wish she was more known.

Vaatu does more of a threat but you don't have to worry since it's a year away. I was able to airbend when you threated to take Mako's bending. [She shrugs] I don't know if that's any help.

You'll get it.

[avatar_amon]

She is a sweet woman. I wish she were here, but so far I've only encountered Tarrlok.

So I need to have my world's Korra corner a loved one? That is not only underhanded, it's rather impossible. I don't have a 'Team Avatar' as you do.

The least I could do is learn earthbending. Two elements is not working. And being twice your age is not doing anything for my confidence. At least I've met Avatar Aang here. Perhaps he can assist with airbending.

[i_am_avatar_korra]

What has he done?

Not really. I was working with fear. I was terrified and threw my fist and it just came out. So. . .act out that emotion? Yes, you do. You have Tenzin. What about Lin?

How long have you been training? I've been training my whole life. Well if he's here then he might be able to help you.

[avatar_amon]

So far he's asked if I was upset with him. I informed him that I am, but that I don't hate him. In my world I'm steadfastly ignoring him. We don't need our family drama coming to light in the current political climate.

I have Tenzin, yes. Lin tolerates me but is under the impression I'm hiding something. It's an awkward situation.

Years in firebending and chiblocking. None in earthbending. My plan was to only present myself to Tenzin after my brother was out of office.

[i_am_avatar_korra]

[Korra wonders if Tarrlok would attempt 'anything' after being revealed being Yakone's son. What about Amon? They were both dead in her world.]

I wouldn't want the same.

At least you have those two.

Some times things don't work out the way you wanted to. Just make do with what you have.

[avatar_amon]

If I reveal Tarrlok, I risk revealing myself. If I don't, things continue to get complicated. I'm beginning to realize that some problems have no solution.

How did you learn earthbending? You're the Avatar, too. Surely you have advice.

[i_am_avatar_korra]

[She shook her head again.] I'm sorry but I don't have any advice for that.

[Again, Korra explains how she learned earthbending and able to do it at a very young age.] The best thing is you ask Lin for help.

[avatar_amon]

I would, if she and I were on better terms. I'm not used to dealing with her yet. Every time I talk to her I fumble for the right words to say. And then she looks at me with those impossibly green eyes and I forget what I was talking about.

[i_am_avatar_korra]

It's either Lin or some other earthbender. Then don't look at her eyes, Amon.

[avatar_amon]

I - what I was was trying to convey there, subtly, is that... I find myself attracted to Lin. And it destroys my ability to concentrate.

You may laugh at your leisure.

[i_am_avatar_korra]

You have a crush on Lin? [She just smiles but doesn't laugh. At least not out loud]

[avatar_amon]

It's not a crush. A crush, by definition, has a chance of happening. This does not. This is a fool's stupidity, brought on by a lack of concentration on my Avatar duties. It is pitiful.

[betrayalcutsdeep]

You can inform your mun that themainframe accepts AUs, though you won't be pleased to hear it does rob us of our powers. Reserves opened last night, if I recall correctly.

[avatar_amon]

My mun is thrilled and thanks you for your service.

I can only hope she botches the application as badly as she does her schoolwork.

[betrayalcutsdeep]

It is a hassle, but it's better than some of the alternatives. We aren't entirely without power or influence and the premise isn't related to us becoming the playthings of omnipotent and untouchable enemies.

[avatar_amon]

How far we've fallen that that is considered a good option.

[betrayalcutsdeep]

It is a sad role. Yet for some of us, fate would have far worse in store without our muns' interventions. Irony is a cruel mistress, wouldn't you say?

[avatar_amon]

I would rather take my fate in my own world. I am the Avatar.

hello fellow au version of steve blum voiced character (this is a mirrorverse tfp starscream)

[distortedscream]

Hmmph. My mundane has been on a similar search for games accepting AUs.

Here is her list so far, that she's asked me to share:

http://maisondeportes.dreamwidth.org/profile

http://witchesreign.dreamwidth.org/profile

http://genessia-ooc.dreamwidth.org/profile

http://timemaster.dreamwidth.org/profile

My mundane would also like me to convey that there is a community devoted entirely to advertising games and offering "characters" such as us: http://app-this-plz.dreamwidth.org/

Personally, I'd say to the Pit with all this, but as you're probably coming to understand, none of these mundanes appreciate that each of us have our own lives to deal with.

AUs are so much fun, aren't they?

[avatar_amon]

My mun wishes to express her gratitude, as she is new to RP. I wish I had rice wine by the barrel, presently.

Is there a reason they enjoy toying with us, or is it just sadism?

so much fun :D

[distortedscream]

My mundane says "your welcome." [Just gonna let the fact that he's some kind of bizarre sentient telephone now roll by without comment.] She also wishes to add this possible game: http://freakkeepingdr.dreamwidth.org/profile

Some high-grade would be nice....

[Grunt.] A harmless sadism in their minds, perhaps.

[avatar_amon]

It is hardly harmless. I am preventing the end of my world.

[distortedscream]

To them, not so much. [Sigh.] They simply do not....

[Another irritable sigh. Then contemplative.]

There is a chance that this dimensional hopping for their amusement has different rules about time.

For example, I may be away in a game for months at a time; and when my mundane grows weary of the game and returns me to my world, barely any time has passed, my absence has not been noticed. The time in the game world, and time in our worlds, may function differently . [Stopping at that, not sure if any more will simply complicate the explanation of the theory more.]

[avatar_amon]

Understood. My objections still stand.

[distortedscream]

Good luck trying to get your Mun to do anything about that. [Starscream himself surprised at how sincere he sounds, hardly any sarcasm in his voice.]

[avatar_amon]

I'm the Avatar. Without me, the balance of my world breaks. The last time we were without an Avatar, a genocide and an attempt at a second were the result.

[Amon is surprised at how distressed he's capable of sounding, after everything that's happened; he'd thought himself immune to stress as a whole by this point.]

[distortedscream]

And this means little to your mundane, I take it?

[Not going to express his opinion that a world so dependent on one figure sounds massively screwed up in the first place. No point doing that with someone in such distress already.]

[avatar_amon]

It means nothing to her. She will force me where she wants, and my only hope is I can retain what skills I have. Wherever I go, I am still the Avatar. The Avatar must keep peace and balance on any world, by virtue of what I was born as.
