I can't believe you made me sit still for that whole thing. It's late, I'm tired, you're tired I vote we crash. [She yawns loudly. Practically obscenely.]

Stop worrying about it, there's nothing you can do about it. Nothing gets done when we're dead tired like this. Just be happy you got it out of the way tonight. Or this morning. Or whatever time it is.

Oh man I've seen some of those things. You must be a master of patience to hold still for that long!

[alphatar]

Well I’m not. That’s what made it so rough. Now my mun is fretting like the world’s going to end and I’m still exhausted so it looks to be a chipper day ahead of us. [Sarcasm for breakfast.]

[machina_mistress]

Oh geez. I'd make something to calm the nerves but I'm not a person who can prepare-- anything. I could build a droid that could make tea or something buuuut I think that would take too long. [she shrugs]

[alphatar]

I'm guessing droid means machine. But yeah, tea would be nice but that would only help me. I think my mun just wants to pass out for days until the verdict is in. I'm hopeful because it looks like it could be a lot fun.

[machina_mistress]

Well yes and no. I mean; a food processor isn't a droid but it is a machine. get it? Most droids are like-- people shaped too.

[alphatar]

You make people machines??

[diamondsarentforever]

If I recall correctly, last week you were impatient for your mundane to apply you to a game.

And now, when your mundane does just that, you complain about the length of the process.

Truly, humans are creatures of contradiction.

[alphatar]

Contradictions, sure we are. But they didn't have to make me sit still the whole time. It was like I was being interrogated and not allowed to do anything but answer questions and just watch the hours pass by. I would have liked a break or something.

But it's over now, or at least I hope it is.

[madangry_madcrazy]

Need some coffee?

[alphatar]

Oh no. I shouldn’t be awake at all, not after that. Coffee is morning people food. [Yes, people eat coffee Korra.] I think I have six days or so where I can just rest up before my mun can stop being a nervous wreck.

[madangry_madcrazy]

... "Food"?

[alphatar]

Yeah, I'm going to have food. Kind of need to survive Mr. Evil Mad Scientist. Even you should know that.

[madangry_madcrazy]

Oh I'm a big eater myself. I love all kinds of food. I'm just wondering why you'd consider coffee a food...

[alphatar]

Oh, no I just call it that because most people who drink coffee don't have anything else. So I call it morning people food.

[bindsthedead]

Your mundane is sending you to Keeliai?

Then I wish the both of you good luck.

[alphatar]

Thanks, it looks like it's going to be fun! We're totally going to need it, or that's what my mun thinks. They're torturing themselves over the possibility of revisions or denial. Personally, I just hate waiting to find out.

[bindsthedead]

Well, if you do arrive, you'd hardly be alone. Aren't there already people from your world there?

[alphatar]

Yeah, my mun's excited about that part but I'm not exactly sure how to feel about that. It's going to be awkward at best and could turn into a really bad situation.

[bindsthedead]

I haven't met his brother, but Amon doesn't seem that dangerous, and my mundane has some sort of plan with his to make him even less so.

[alphatar]

Then you haven't really met him, only the person he wanted you to meet.

[michaeljangelo]

I know the feeling, my mun was like that when they app'd to that game too.

Gotta admit, I'm kind of excited to get to meet you.
I'm Amon's neighbor.

[alphatar]

I am so glad someone knows how it’s like to see their mun trying not to rip out their hair. [And now for her full attention.] Neighbor? Amon lives near you? [Yes Korra. Without having an equalist block party that bashes on benders every night.]

[michaeljangelo]

Yeah well, heh. My mun doesn't exactly do well when it comes to deadlines. She gets that from me.

[Insert fingerguns here.]

Not just near me, like...in the apartment next to mine. We haven't been formerly introduced yet, and I have no idea who he is in the context of the game itself, but I've seen him coming and going.

[alphatar]

That’s so weird. [She can’t picture Amon outside of his radical, outspoken anti-bending establishment persona she’s so accustomed to.] Not meeting him is probably a good thing. I’m Korra by the way, you are…? [A talking, walking turtle.]

[michaeljangelo]

Michaelangelo.
But please...just call me Mike. Anything else and I'll start thinking I'm in trouble.

Eh...there's precious little about living on the Turtle that isn't weird. You get used to it.

...

Or so I'm told.
