[OOC] A Symphony of Elements

[Genkai]

We've been married too long, it's bound to happen. Maybe spice things up in the bedroom? (or just be more careful about non verbal communications lol)

My friend does want me to bring her back an Irish man...if I could bag Michael Fassbender, I so would. *ahem* I'll be sticking to wine more than Guinness but it is a lot better than most beers I have had. I'm gonna take pictures and try not to be a typical American. I'm more partial to a British accent than an Irish one though, but Irish trumps Scottish at least.

[SoleAccord]

You find the goat, I'll acquire the security codes to the United States nuclear missiles and aim them towards China. We're spicing this shit up.

Well what's a typical American? :I And damn it Gen don't go dryhumping every Irish man you see.

[Genkai]

XD I've got the goat and I've snagged up a hot air balloon so we can go all the way to Guam and claim it as our own. We do need our privacy after all.

Like stupid lol or kind of ignorant or gawks at everything. I just don't wanna be rude and loud. I'll also accept Liam Neeson. It's just a shame Top Gear isn't filming around the area. Oh hey, Arya is gonna be in Doctor Who this season, I don't really care though. Jorah was in Doctor Who too.

[SoleAccord]

Good idea. Guam is far enough away to avoid the political shitstorm I've started. My second option was Australia because no one cares about Australia.

Dude, Maisie Williams is freaking gorgeous. I might watch just for her X.X and lol don't be THAT American, just be American enough for them. Red White and Blue underwear, and don't forget your cheeseburger reserves!

[Genkai]

Nooo too many bugs and other killer things. In Guam, we can hide out in paradise or something...fruity drinks, nice water and it's not too big so we can easily conquer it.

I hate Clara so much...almost as much as River. I hate awful characters, I don't know if she's worth stomaching Clara though, I'm ready to give up on DW. -___-' Mmmm cheese burgers. I bet somewhere, some guy has on cheese burger cologne with their arm tattoo. I'll be the nice American who doesn't get in anyone's way but is totally gonna call chips fries and crisps chips. That's just common sense.

Btw, I'm gonna be heading out to dinner and movie soon but I will be back to get you a LoK post tonight.

[SoleAccord]

LOL I know man Australia is a fucking death trap, couldn't pay me to go there. Well, you could, but I'd never leave my room :X

I absolutely cannot relate to anything you just-- cheeseburger tattoo? Dear god that is so fucking AMERICAN!

No problem, take your time.

[Genkai]

Neither would I. We'd both be busy. XDXDXD

And the tattoo would be in red, white and blue with some awful misspelling.

...I wonder if Asami has any tattoos, probably, she's such a nice girl but she could get one with Mako lol

[SoleAccord]

Is it the awesome busy or the AWESOME busy? -eyebrow waggle-

Don't forget a TERRIBLE drawing of a bald eagle dual wielding desert eagles with its talons.

She needs one on the back of her waist eventually ...>:333

[Genkai]

Why not both?

There's gotta be explosions in the background too. Cause 'Murica.

I'd see her with one on her wrist or ankle...maybe back of her shoulder or neck.

Anyway I'm off, I'll be back online in 4-5 hours mate.

[SoleAccord]

:IIIIIIII You gonna do that when you're leaving for a week, mean xD

Explosions, guns, cheeseburgers, and plastic women because that's how American shit is about to be. Directed by Michael Bay.

I could see Mako getting one on his wrist if he really wanted to, or shoulder, but I've never been a huge fan of tattoos or piercings :X

Aye, probably won't be here, but hope you have a good time.

[Genkai]

I'm not one for tattoos or piercings myself but I'd take them over smoking if I had to. >_<

And I can be reached by text tomorrow but I'll be a little busy. At any rate, I am back to get you and someone else a post and then I shall be offline. </3

[SoleAccord]

Smoking is terrible man, never do it. The least sexy activity on earth.

Yeah but not fun texts :C

AYYYY I WOKE UP AT FOUR IN THE MORNING LET ME LOOK AT THIS POST GURL

[Genkai]

I'm so tired...one more post and I can go to bed. =___=

My brothers smoke, I hate it. I wish I could though, it's just gross tho.

I hope my post was okay, I was listening to a lot of emotional musics.

[SoleAccord]

Hey, you'll probably wake up tomorrow and notice I haven't posted yet. This reply has been REALLY tough. I barely got through with Tenzin and Mako is also posing some difficulty, but I'm halfway done. It seems like Bolin and Korra are the only pair that won't be getting super emotional in this post.

It's coming, I just did not foresee how much thought I'd be putting into their responses. And I know that sounds bad lmao but this is taking a lot more than usual.

[SoleAccord]

^ Ignore that other post. Go read the IC before you read this >:3

Holy shit I think that's the longest I've had to sit and muse about an approach for a long time. Could you believe that none of the things Tenzin, Mako, and Korra said were things I premeditated for once? I actually had to look at your posts as I wrote these and really think about the appropriate choice, and although I initially had a hard time believing that everyone would do what they're doing, in the end it made sense.

Lin's obviously needing some additional support and Tenzin would be a fool to pretend Lin isn't asking for acknowledgment of her own emotions right now. If he were to deny her that, he'd be no better than Toph, really.

Asami is lighting the flame of passion they once had and through the kindness and care she's shown him, Mako is experiencing the guilt. It actually physically hurt to not say 'yes' immediately, since he was recalling just what he did to a great girl like her. And in the end he confesses that he wants to be the man he was to her before, and always should have been.

Korra was the easiest. I did NOT expect her to ask that last question but that was the beauty of writing it. Bolin is obviously still wounded and he has that right, but that uncomfortable silence between them shouldn't go ignored. She wants him to be honest while they have this privacy. If it's too hard for them to go on as if she didn't break his heart, she'd want Bolin to tell her now, not as a threat to end the relationship but to make it clear that Bolin will always be discomforted in some form by that memory of her, and Korra doesn't want it to be this way.

Anyway, wow, this was frustrating but immensely fun to write. Considered so much. Even went to merriam-webster.com to spice up the ol' vocabulary. Hope you like them :3

[Genkai]

Okay okay, finally done reading now. XD

I'm glad you're happy with the post as I know it gave you some push and pull for a while. ^^ And you can tell with your post that you had fun with it which is doubly awesome haha.

Lin and Tenzin are making progress. I just hope I'm not making her overly emotional right now but to me, she seems like once she starts thinking about the past, it can kind of hit her like tidal waves, hard to evade. She also avoids a lot of her inner demons and pushes work to compensate for it. Plus with Pema ill, it makes Lin wonder if it could have been her in some other lifetime. I think with the mystery spreading, she's worried and struggling to keep it all in since she has no one to really confide in, Tenzin is all she has and even that bond, is shaky.

Asami is going to be a little hurt by his reluctance but she will be understanding. The fact he wants to be careful, is a good sign and she acknowledges that he wants to do things better, right this time. At the same time, she doesn't want them to get stuck in their heads as well as the past. Life for them is slowly improving and they can make it even better. She will have her own issues of trust, plus the white lie she told Mako, will be things she'll deal with. She wants to believe Korra and Mako will have no "weird" stuff between them and that she can be friendw tih Korra, but she'll have that worry for a while.

Bolin surely doesn't know his praise is a bit...hard for her to hear. At the same time, he has been honest with her before in terms of how she acted in the past and how it wasn't "cool" of her. He still has feelings for her but having been hurt and knowing Korra has a lot to overcome herself, he isn't going to step out and do anything as romantic as before with the gifts and stuff (I hope anyway, Bolin is such a luv). He'd be happy being her friend if possible and in his mind, he and her are going to be fine. If she were to ever cross the line or indicate more than friends, I think his heart would explode into confetti haha. But right now he wants to make sure he doesn't get hurt again and that he's what Korra needs most, a friend who can be honest with her but still have fun. If she's still feeling bad, then they do still need to talk more about that.

And hey, you're using some college words pal, I accept the challenge XP

[SoleAccord]

The struggle was real X.X

I don't think Lin's being too emotional. What if it was him in that bed instead of Pema? Given that every other target could bend, that reality was narrowly avoided. Tenzin bringing them together like that was to hear her out, he's hoping she does confess her true feelings on the situation they're in. Or she could kiss him, either way he's getting the idea. I don't even know if he's getting home at this point xD

Well the reluctance is of his own doing, nothing of hers, so she shouldn't feel too bad. It's his fault they're this way now, after all. The best way for Asami to handle that fear is confronting it. There's going to be times where Asami won't be with Mako and Korra, and she'll need to trust him to remember the girl he's holding hands with now. He's already confessed his ideal relationship with her and it's a borderline request for marriage X.X

The goal is making sure they can stay friends before becoming lovers, and I imagine in the future Korra might make a move on him. I didn't plan on this coming up as I wrote, so let's make it a feel-good experience by the end of it.

>:3

[Genkai]

If Tenzin was the one sick, you bet your sweet ass Lin would be ripping the whole city apart to find answers. Not that she's biased. >___>' Haaa Lin won't kiss him, he's married, she's not that kind of lady. If only...but Lin sees what could have been and that her life isn't as solid as she thought it would be. Everyone around her is married, has life figured out and she's kind of on the outside still. She certainly wishes she could have done things different when it came to her and Tenzin (and Pema).

Asami will confront him but they have done a lot of hashing feelings lately. She doesn't want the kiss to be a wrench in their future relationship, nor does she want to be reassuring him over and over, nor does she want to be worried when Korra and Mako are on their own. She wants to trust them but to her, she got super blindsided by it though so she probably wishes she could have seen more signs of it. After all, she didn't care that Mako and Korra were friends and pro bending together but only when Bolin mentioned the kiss and Mako got super possessive over Korra, did Asami feel like shit. So she'd love to go back to trusting Mako and Korra again, but doesn't want to be made a fool either.

Korra needs to be a good friend to Bolin. It was kinda one sided at certain points and I still believe they can have a cool bff relationship before anything romantic crops up. Bolin and Korra just need to go back to their core where they could goof off and be silly without her worrying about bending, and with him not worrying about him and Mako's living situation (they do need their own apartment though, go be adults with bills lol).

[SoleAccord]

Lin would be fucking BATMAN, only WAYYYYYY more brutal. And lol if it was up to Lin Pema would be arrested and Tenzin would be hogtied back to her place.

This is the most two-sided angst we've got and its already overwhelming X.X so Asami should make a new kiss to remember <3

Hm, you think so? I mean Bolin yeah I could see that, but I don't know if Asami would want him to move out after a while. Though ...an apartment does bring some funny, possibly sexy moments for later. I'm in!

[Genkai]

Lin and Pema will sorta make up. Sorta. But yeah, Lin will get Tenzin soon and make him plenty happy. *wink wink*

A kiss in my next post? You think Mako would respond to it or would it be a bit much so soon?

Asami wouldn't want Mako to move out but it would be nice if Bolin had some more independence and Bolin and Mako do need to be good bros again. Besides, it would give Korra a cool place to hang out when she wants to get away from Tenzin and co.
