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.

Just like this, only smaller. So...Yes, very cute. Very cute indeed.

[Pardon him while he preens.]

[disfavored]

First: You don't have a clue what you're talking about. We are nothing alike.

Second: It's in your best interest not to antagonize me as I might be your only ally in stopping him. I've warned the general public about him twice right now and all I get are doubts because he hasn't done anything terrible there yet.

[alphatar]

[Great, now she wants a pet baby turtle. One polar bear dog is enough Korra.] Does that you’re just going to keep growing and be a mini-turtle continent too? [Oh my god Korra, stop already.]

[michaeljangelo]

[Mike just sort of stares.]




...I don't know, to be honest with you.

[alphatar]

[Her eyes widen.] You don't have any elders?

[michaeljangelo]

Uh uh. There's pretty much just the four of us.

[alphatar]

Oh wow. Sorry. [She scratches the back of her head. Smooth one Korra.] Well, if you do, can I get dibs on living at the very top of your shell? Like where the palace is? Then I could toss you food while you swim! [She’s trying at least.]

[bindsthedead]

And what on earth would he want? The only person from his world that's here is is brother.

[michaeljangelo]

Uh...sure? Though, I feel as though I should warn you that if I ever get that size? I am totally Godzilla'ing the hell out of the nearest city.

[Don't worry if you don't recognize that term, Korra. Mike's happy to provide context heavy arm gestures.]

[alphatar]

Oh, you mean the way you treated non-benders practically like criminals just the way Amon would have his followers believe bending to be a crime? I can’t believe I didn’t see how alike you two were on my own. [Down girl.]

I’ve been on your side before and that ended up with me imprisoned in a box, kidnap, and left at some remote location just so you could save face in the council. Yeah, not a big fan of your definition of “ally”. The only reason I could ever even think of trusting you is because you helped me when you didn’t have to. [She has so many bad things she wants to say but just bites her lips instead and settles for a glare.]

But at least you know he’s up to nothing good and are trying to help. I suppose that counts for something. [Gosh, forgive and forget already Korra. He kinda died…]

[alphatar]

Power over society, the government, people. He'll want things run his way and will probably do it in a way where no on even knows it's happening. Not until he wants them to.

[bindsthedead]

That's strange. It's his brother that's trying to start up some sort of council.

[alphatar]

Yeah, looks like it runs in the family. [Yes Korra, I’m glad others can see your point. Only you seem to care.] Wait- council? I thought an emperor was in charge of everything?

[alphatar]

[She didn’t get it, but she does now.] I’d like to say I might have to stop you, but that size I don’t think there a whole lot I can do about that. That reminds me, what does the Tu Vishan eat?

[michaeljangelo]

I'm hoping not smaller turtles.

[Which is Mike for: No idea.]

[alphatar]

Yeah, no. That sounds bad. Maybe I’ll get to go up there and see for myself. Do you work in the city?

[alphatar]

Well it didn’t respect my personal space, so that was it’s fault!

[michaeljangelo]

Not yet, but I keep hearing about how I'm going to have to find a job eventually. Though...years and years of being poor and living off other people's trash has proved to be a useful skill.

Where are you from that meditation leads to turtle island getaways?

[alphatar]

Hobo soup isn’t bad since it’s not too far a stretch from some good old fashioned Southern Water Tribe cooking.

[She blinks in surprise.] Oh, well, I’m not too big on meditation. BUT [Cue the bored voice] as the Avatar I have to meditate to fulfill the duty of being the bridge to the Spirit World.

Sooo, I kind of decided to try to do that without the help of my teacher. Apparently that can lead to Turtletopia and all the wonderful things, arch-nemesis included, that I’m completely not prepared for.

[michaeljangelo]

You attempted to walk the Astral Plane without a guide as a novice?

[Mike whistles in amazement.]

That's gutsy. Stupid, but gutsy.

[alphatar]

Yeah, I’m sure I’m going to get a big helping of “Disobeying, Disrespecting, and Dis is important!”. [She says it with a casual wave, but she’s really, really not looking forward to being chewed out by Tenzin.]

Whoa, wait- you got here by almost dying and I got here by meditating. So meditation is just a step away from death?

[michaeljangelo]

That's certainly what it feels like when ever I have to do it.

[machina_mistress]

[she chuckles] Well it's off now so I think you can end your personal vendetta.

[alphatar]

And Tenzin didn’t tell me about that part!? [Easy Korra, he’s one of the few airbenders.] I’ll just have to bring that up next time.

Were any of your teachers really crafty like that?

[alphatar]

Whoever invented those is pure evil.
