Voicetesting, probably homeless forever

[not_the_avatar]

 Little on the nose there with the username, aren't you?

But it doesn't matter. So long as most people think I'm the Avatar and I keep fighting Amon, either I'll win or the actual Avatar will. Things happen for a reason, right? I just wonder where you think you'll send me, with this whole 'AU' thing going on.

[She's not Asami. It's just a faceclaim.]

They like to do things like that.

[not_the_avatar]

You... look awfully familiar.

[white_polaris]

Whoever you think I am. I'm not her.

[not_the_avatar]

I didn't mean anything by it. I just - for a second, it was nice to see a familiar face. Working through everything on my own gets exhausting, you know?

Let's start over. Hi, I'm Inuqtuq. And you are?

[white_polaris]

It's fine. Something I'm used to.

[Yeah. You totally look like Korra but a look alike.]

Mizuko. Nice to meet you, Inuqtuq.

[not_the_avatar]

Mizuko... that's a Fire Nation name, right? It's pretty.

[white_polaris]

Actually, it's a Northern Water Tribe name. It means Child of the water. Thank you. I like yours as well.

[not_the_avatar]

Really? It sounds so much like Prince Zuko's name. It must be an old name, then. I never heard it growing up in the Northern Water Tribe. Must be nice to have something special like that.

[white_polaris]

Yeah. I know. I think the name isn't that common. Well, I didn't grow up there. I hit my head and traveled to Republic City. [Shrugs] How was life there?

[not_the_avatar]

It was great. I miss home like crazy. There were the Northern Lights, and stewed sea prunes, and drums, and dancing... I wish I hadn't had to go to Republic City. One day, I'm going back and I'm staying forever.

[white_polaris]

That sounds wonderful. Sometimes I miss home. I haven't been there since last year.

[not_the_avatar]

Don't worry, Mizuko. I'm sure you'll get to go back sooner than you think. Try to stay positive. That's what I do, even when things get tough.

[white_polaris]

Inuqtuq, as much as I like to. [She breathes in and out] It's overrun with a cult there.

[My RP partner and I did a small plot over at Tumblr where the tribe/country is overrun with a bloodbending cult.]

[not_the_avatar]

Then we'll fight them off until every last one them sees justice, the right path or dies. You don't have to stand back and take it. We can fight them off!

[white_polaris]

I'm not sure about that. It's best not to get in the middle of it. My friend might not want another to be a target.

[not_the_avatar]

Then you stay somewhere safe, and I'll deal with it.

[white_polaris]

It's a bloodbending cult. You have no chance against them.

[not_the_avatar]

I never have a chance. It doesn't matter. It just makes me try harder.

[white_polaris]

You're insane. You know that?

[not_the_avatar]

I'm trying to save lives and you're not. You know that, right? I'm tired of people calling me crazy for standing up for what I believe in.

[white_polaris]

[Sighs] I'm aware of that but you don't know what they're capable of. More power to you then. I would like to defeat them too but they would just use me against my friend.

[not_the_avatar]

I can bend two elements! [She blurts out, and although she freezes, she can't take it back, so she charges ahead.] I'll take them by surprise. Nobody's ever counting on that. I won't let them overrun good and innocent people.

2/2

[white_polaris]

I don't think they would expect that. [Miz just simply worried] But they will inject you with something that will slow down your heart. So don't get caught.

[not_the_avatar]

...slow down my heart?

[white_polaris]

It'll eventually kill you. Nasty stuff. Trust me.

[not_the_avatar]

But only if they get it into me. It's worth it to try.

[white_polaris]

They will. One way or another. I hope it doesn't happen.

[not_the_avatar]

I used to be called Korra. People thought I was the Avatar. I'm not, but I can work with what I have. I outgun them. I can do this. And if I can't, then someone has to try. Because it will make others realize they can try, too.

[white_polaris]

We all have our secrets. I really think someone has to do something about them. I told my friend that he could do something about it but doesn't think it'll work.

[not_the_avatar]

Then that someone will be me.

[white_polaris]

Just be careful. Ok? Don't discuss this with anyone.

[not_the_avatar]

I won't. I always end up doing things on my own anyway. But I'll let you know how it goes.

[white_polaris]

[Miz just gives you a hug]

[not_the_avatar]

[After a pause, Korra hugs back.] I'm coming back, Mizuko. I promise. Don't worry. Things are going to get better now.

[white_polaris]

I'm going to worry anyway. It's no use to telling me. I hope.
