[mechasshole]

Now, it's not to say I'm not flattered--but are you sure you're not getting ahead of yourself, young lady?

[and he politely bows back! TO THE BENDING SCUM.] That's always the way, isn't it? I hope yours has nothing too grandiose in mind.

[mechasshole]

[his face twists momentarily into something ugly, but you'll just have to take my word on it BECAUSE THERE AIN'T NO ICONS, and he quickly composes himself again.]

Ah, that's right--the tyrant who can't get his own way in the world blames it for his own shortcomings. It's called Future Industries for a reason, you know. The time will come when technology has advanced to the point that even your... talents... will eventually become negligible--a pity you won't be there to see it.

[mechasshole]

[ooh YEAH THAT WOULD DO THAT]

My, my. I wouldn't have imagined the Avatar would need my advice on any such thing. [the expert part is nice, though! he waves a hand.] Can't you just blast whatever the problem is away with your bending? An indelicate solution, but I'd expect nothing less.

[Sociopath MAD SCIENTIST!] She just wants to have fun for now. She likes to live life like a jellyfish and float about.

[willitbend]

Oooor the ways of anyone, really.

[not_halfbaked]

Not when the problem's half as tall--or as tall as a whole building in Republic City....

And not necessarily a problem, a lot of them have been really--!

Er. I mean. Your mech tanks? Have you ever--is it possible to make them move on their own? Without a pilot? And, um, talk and think by themselves too?

Do you want/need icons I can help w/ that

[mopedmoproblems]

So don't you think you should give up on this Equalist thing?

[foreveryakone]

[ I'LL PICTURE IT... VIVIDLY. Just like you should picture Yakone not constantly changing appearance BUT WHAT CAN U DO THO. ]

The only pity is the decline the city has seen in my absence. You should just accept that you were born weak. You can't replace talents like mine with machines.

Clearly, I need better keywords. Apologies!!

[eatmyexhaust]

No, I don't suppose it is. But you haven't been a father for how many years now? [ Just because she spent almost all of that time in the dark, doesn't mean

[amon_fire]

You, uh... you hesitated for a second there.

[mechasshole]

Those machines are going to deliver Republic City directly into the hands of Amon, which is more than you could ever say. Real progress can't be halted with a hand to the forehead.

[mechasshole]

Like a jellyfish...? [LOOK AT HIM CHUCKLING LIKE THE TOTALLY NORMAL MAN HE TOTALLY IS] Well, that's a new one! Points for originality. As long as you're enjoying yourself, I suppose.

[mechasshole]

Don't let that overactive imagination of yours get you into trouble again, Avatar.

[mechasshole]

Oh! Well, I just--was waiting to catch some of the nuances! It was very good, sir.

[foreveryakone]

The Avatar will halt anything it decides is a problem. Your machines and your cause weren't even up to my standard of threat.

oh my god would you I JUST NEED LIKE AT LEAST ONE MORE OF HIM BEING MAD THAT'S ALL

[mechasshole]

You--[no wait gotta tone it down, tone it down]--should know better than to ask that.

totally fine c:

[mechasshole]

I gave you everything the world could offer! I tried to make sure you'd never need to know what I was doing--what I had to do. Don't tell me you weren't happy, Asami.

[amon_fire]

Dude, no, you hated it. You're upset, aren't you?

[mechasshole]

Move on their own...? [nerd alert] Theoretically it might be possible, but--did you just say talking?

[mechasshole]

Spoken like a true relic.

[mechasshole]

No, no! Not at all, it's just--I'm just not my best today. All these Asamis running around, kissing streetrats... hating me......

[not_halfbaked]

Yeah, talking. By themselves. Like they have a mind of their own.

[mechasshole]

Amazing! [FOR A MOMENT HE CAN EVEN FORGET KORRA IS A FILTHYwait nope there he goes again] If it's true, that is. Are you really trying to tell me that these mecha tanks have an individual consciousness? That sort of technology would take decades to perfect.

[not_halfbaked]

They're like mecha tanks, but that's not what they call themselves. And, well...they're sorta in a place where time and space kinda cross paths, so...they could be from the future? Well, some of them could be--others say they're just not from our world at all. But they're not from the Spirit World either. They're just from someplace else entirely, um, a Cybertron, they called it....

hehehehehe.

[mopedmoproblems]

Didn't you just say I was "all you have left?" I guess I misunderstood.
