[OOC] Kindling Spirits | A Legend of Korra RP

[Genkai]

Our habits are hard to break.

And you go to sleep, I'll crank out the introduction so you have something to wake up to.

[SoleAccord]

They're hard to break because we're just... SO ...FUCKING... GOOD AT MAKING MOUNTAINS OUT OF SMALLER MOUNTAINS OUT OF MOLEHILLS!

I'll think about it, and that's the BEST YOU'LL GET OUT OF ME, MISSY!

[Genkai]

Go to sleep~!

Sleep is good, you can't make a Korra and Mako post on no sleep. You gotta get ready for writing as a selfish brat. XP

[SoleAccord]

I WILL PREPARE TO BE A SELFISH BRAT BY BEING ONE, THANK YOU!

[Genkai]

Nuuuuu! You need to sleep, otherwise once I post, you'll need to sleep cause it'll hit you hard. You may as well sleep while I write so you're ready to go. Haha. My logic wins!

[SoleAccord]

CURSES, FOILED AGAIN!

But not to worry dear, I'll rest soon enough. And don't worry about the intro too much, its mostly in my hands anyway. You're just in a set-up stage.

[Genkai]

I gotta go back and make sure the setting is right but I'm laaazy. It was outside of the pro bending arena yeah? I thought Bolin and Korra went to look at the bay and he left to get flowers...bless his heart. And boom, he comes back and suddenly Mako is there walking off and Korra is idk...feeling happy or conflicted. And Bolin is alone with flowers while Asami is at her house maybe getting ready for a night with Mako? Do you think she and Mako would have had anything planned or do think him coming over would be totally out of the blue?

[SoleAccord]

I'm not lazy, I just don't want to go back and cringe lmfao. They were gonna go off and do something and Mako confronted her. I will say that Korra's not going to be that enthused given how Mako looked at her when it was done, but she won't be sad. Probably just as confused as Bolin lmao.

It makes Mako worse if instead of getting ready to go out that night, he was going to confront Korra about something like that. I say it was out of the blue, but not entirely unwelcome. Mr. Sato can be gone doing evil Equalist stuff and that can leave Asami to tear Mako a new one.

[Genkai]

Alright, I'll see what I can do. And Asami is gonna just cry her eyes out cause she doesn't know how to make Mako happy or what she did wrong to make him wanna go meddle in Korra and Bolin's own potential-relationship. Awww the feels, they hurt. x___x

[SoleAccord]

...FUCKING KORRA. GOD DAMN IT.

Are we gonna bring back the 'hands pressed against the door they're separated by' moment that we took from the very first rp? Because that was awesome, not even gonna lie.

[Genkai]

We'll have to see what happens. Asami is gonna be pretty hurt. :/ Though in this setting Mako isn't staying with Asami so there is less chance of them seeing each other. I think the arena where they live may get destroyed soon though?

[SoleAccord]

YYYYYYYYYYYYYUP, and you know DAMN WELL Asami would rather have Mako and Bolin than have Mako staying with Korra. YOU KNOW DAMN. WELL.

Bring on the complications.

[Genkai]

If Mako is a smart man he won't let that thought even cross his mind. He better go give Asami some sad eyes before Korra opens her mouth to offer Mako a home. You know Bolin will go hang with her though. You think we should have the arena's destruction in the next couple of posts? Maybe the evening once everyone is away from it?

[SoleAccord]

LOL Asami would LITERALLY.... LIIIIIITERALLY be PACING WHERE SHE STANDS, WONDERING WHAT DIABOLICAL PERVERSIONS KORRA COULD POSSIBLY BE UP TO WITH HER MAN. AND THEN ASAMI WOULD COME OVER. EVERY. DAY. AND GRILL MAKO XDDDDDDDDDDD

The arena's destruction was because of an Equalist attack via a Zeppelin and basic infiltration, I think. If I recall, Amon said he'd attack it if pro-bending didn't stop. Lin was like, "LOL OKAY" and did it anyway I THINK. Or it was someone else who was like "LOL K", and then he did it and it was destroyed anyway. We could make it so he just blew the stadium up shortly before the game??

[Genkai]

If Mako accepted Korra's 'totally innocent' offer, Asami would break things off right then and there. If Mako values his life and his relationship, he better start making things up to Asami, by starting by proving he and Korra are just friends.

Oh right. I wonder what Amon had against pro bending. I mean it's benders fighting benders, entertaining non-benders. Oh well. Maybe he just hates the game lol But yeah we could have Bolin and Korra about to see a game when it happens. I think there was an epic battle with Lin and Korra to try and defend the arena but oh well...Lin could be lurking for security purposes. But then again Korra and Bolin are minor (side haha) characters so we wouldn't really flesh out say the attack Amon makes on the arena with her fighting against his agents?

[SoleAccord]

I don't know if they'll be really good friends considering what Korra is doing and how Bolin is oblivious to it. Asami's reaction is understandable. It never would have happened if he didn't dig his nose in that.

I don't think it was anything against the sport, just against benders. Pro-bending distracted the citizens and made it seem like everything was normal, which Amon was against. Pro-benders are the closest things to bending celebrities in that city, so destroying the sport by making those he missed not want to play anymore and hide seems exactly what he would want.

It depends on where Asami and Mako were at the time. If they were at the arena, then the event becomes larger on the scale. If they were on a date, then they just hear about it, maybe see the Zeppelin from wherever they're chilling.

[Genkai]

I felt like before this, Korra was suspicious of Asami but so far, Korra's thoughts hadn't been confirmed yet. We may wanna try and give them some chance to sort of get closer as gal pals before we reveal Mr.Sato's involvement. I think season one was horribly paced anyway...Though with Korra and Bolin need to be mended. And yeah, Mako and Korra were kinda never friends. He was often pretty cold to her, while she tried to act like it didn't bug the crap out of her. Does Korra have any friends at this point? XD

You do have a point, by getting rid of a distraction piece of entertainment, people can see the truth for what it is and how benders are running the city, pretty much.

We could have the attack happen the next night in the RP? Probably doing both events right off the bat would be a bit much. I think Mako and Asami would be out and about, I don't think at the arena. Maybe it would be safe to say Bolin and Korra are out too since the Fire Ferrets clearly aren't in the match this go around.

[SoleAccord]

There was respect between them, but they never had the chemistry that Bolin did with Korra alone. Mako just seemed like he was too good for anything. Development is our middle name. It always is.

A nice way of putting it!

Without a substitute fire bender on hand, Bolin and Korra couldn't play (and I say that because I believe Korra is only allowed to use one element, Water, otherwise it wouldn't be fair that she can switch elements and get a substitute that's available for water and all). Mako and Asami can use the next night for each other. They'll hear about the attack the next morning or in the middle/near the end of it. It's Mako's 'repair what I have fractured' night, so he's going to try not to get distracted.

[Genkai]

Why do we have to do the development that should have been done in the show? -grumble grumble-

Yeah we can't really have two major events, plus as you said, whether or not they had a match doesn't matter, Mako isn't in the best state to fight anyway, so he'll probably sit it out to go out with Asami. Which is nice, picking your gf over a team sport...your gf helped sponsor. Shit Mako, why you gotta ruin everything? >___> It might be cool to have Mako and Asami go toward the attack when it's over to check on everyone, feelings aside Asami would wanna know Korra and Bolin and the others were okay.

I am thinking of having Asami reveal her bending ability to Mako in the first second or third post.

[SoleAccord]

They didn't have time, I guess. But if they didn't have time to make a convincing romance, they should have focused on friendship building. Korra's Team Avatar is dogshit compared to the old group. And we still don't know what the fuck happened to Sokka, and Suki didn't get an appearance either. The fuck, man. And Ty Lee! I LIKED TY LEE DAMN IT!

It won't be an evening at home then. A walk through the park? Something light, where they can get some air and privacy. With so many people going to the game, the park may be nearly empty at that time of night. And like you said, they catch wind of the attack and race there to check on the others.

Oooh. Do you want to reveal it out of Asami's temper being flared because of Mako? Should she burn him on accident because he didn't expect it (and neither did she)?
