homeless and voice testing

[notacriminal]

Really? Was this really necessary?

Of course I'm not a criminal! I thought that was obvious from the start.

[Mako sighs, running a hand down his face]

Just...focus on getting me out and about already, maybe on some of those memes you saw? [...] No. Not those memes.

[polar]

I dunno, we did break a few laws here and there.

[notacriminal]

Yeah, but that was different. We were saving people.

[alphatar]

Hey, I thought you weren't a criminal from the start either. [Teasing. She's not holding Mako's time with the Triple Threats against him.]

What meme are they trying to put you in again?

[fractalist]

Oh, those, memes. I, ah - can relate. [ Awkward smile! ] Where have you been dropped so far?

[notacriminal]

That's what I'm saying. I never was! [Or at least a petty criminal. Her and Asami are the only ones that think that, or were. Unlike a certain earthbending brother]

You know, those kind of memes. [Is she really going to make him say it? Speaking of which-] How about you? You're mun is at least treating you good?

[notacriminal]

Yeah. It's annoying isn't it?

So far? Just a picture prompt meme, so that's not too bad.

[alphatar]

[Smirking at his indignity.] You don't have to convince me, I know.

[Her eyebrows rise at the reiteration. Yes, she's going to make him say it.]

My mun's been pretty good to me so far. A bit on the dorky side, but I'm used to hanging around people like that. [That's sweet to ask and it doesn't go unnoticed by her either.

About those memes...]

[notacriminal]

I know. [A pause] Thanks.

[Let's see how long he can avoid it]

Well that's good. I'm not going to have to hit some heads then. [This is a good topic change. UHUH]

[alphatar]

[Great topic change there, Cool Guy.]

Down boy, I'll let you know if there's anything I can't handle. [Of course she thinks she can handle most anything to begin with.]

What does your mun have in mind for you?

[notacriminal]

Still, you know I got your back. You do get ahead of yourself sometimes. [She best be not doing anything rash]

What? Oh, um...you know. [Mako clears his throat awkwardly. So suave, man]

[alphatar]

Hey, I'm getting better. [Not too much, really.]

Of course I do, everyone knows the Avatar can read minds too. [She's not judging, just looking like it.]

[dealsinshipping]

Nice username, kid. It's very... you. [He sure is grinning widely as he says it.]

[notacriminal]

Yeah, no thanks to you.

[Oh he remembers Varrick and he's giving him a look]

[notacriminal]

We'll see. [He says that in a more joking manner now]

Now you're just being crazy. [He knows what yoy're doing, missy! Not that it's going to help him much]

[dealsinshipping]

[The grin fades a little at that look, but it's still not quite gone.] Hey, c'mon, I said I was sorry. Lighten up, will ya?

[alphatar]

Uh-huh. [Not even batting an eye at that one. She knows full well what she's doing.]

Soooo... [Letting him off the hook is the last things she's doing, and her putting her hands behind her back and leaning forward to listen better is a clear sign of that. So's her innocent, polite smile.]

[notacriminal]

I, uhhhh....what? [And he just leans back a little. Look how awkward he is]

[notacriminal]

[Always with the smiling]

I'm not that stressed. [Yes he is] How'd you get out of jail anyway?

[dealsinshipping]

A little bit of imagivation! ...Well, that and some enormous spirit vines smashed a hole through the wall, but mostly imagivation.

[alphatar]

[And she's enjoying every second of being past his cool exterior.]

What's wrong with the memes your mun wants to put you in?

[notacriminal]

Okay, thaaat actually makes sense.

[The spirit vines part, not the imagivation part]

I guess that means you're going to go back to your business then?

[dealsinshipping]

Hahah, sure, if they'll let me! The whole president thing was great publicity, but you know how it is. You try to kidnap a politician and suddenly people get the crazy idea you can't be trusted. [Shrug.]

[notacriminal]

You know! They're for...sex.

[Is she happy now?]

It' not my decision, alright.

[notacriminal]

There's a reason for that.

[He crosses his arms]

Add that to stealing merchandise on the side.

[alphatar]

[Happy and surprised. Somehow her eyebrows manage to go higher. She almost expected him to get angry instead.

That he didn't actually makes her happy.]

My mun's only thought of putting me in one, but it's not my decision either. [Her shoulders come in a little. She knows she's spoiled by her mun.]

Are, you going to do one?
