[OOC] A Symphony of Elements

[SoleAccord]

It brings out a lot of different emotions to manifest in writing. A whole lot of sadness, pain, lust, anger, etc.

I didn't want to say anything but I'm trying to see how TenLin could be sparked that night.

[Genkai]

Even if it's not Tenzin/Lin emphasized, they can still develop together without it needing to be dealing with romances necessarily. They are still friends and trying to reform that relationship too. I see more romance budding when they're younger, sort of a newer lease on life.

[SoleAccord]

That works just as well. I'm also wondering just how long I can plausibly keep Korra out of this; people are beginning to die. With half of Team Avatar working with the law, that means renegade actions are likely not going to be welcome. Lin and Korra must join forcessss~

[Genkai]

Poor Lin...but Lin will probably want to bring her in though the question to pose would be what can Korra even do? She's still training and it's not like she has any special power to trace bending. So Korra is going to have to deal with being a bit powerless or at least being somewhat of a figure to calm the public down since that might be a good way to go...giving the people assurance through the Avatar.

[SoleAccord]

That's the hardest part of Korra right there: she can do very little in this situation. It frustrates her as much as it does Tenzin, however Tenzin is receiving up-to-date information whenever he can while Korra is just hearing second-hand information, and what little Bolin can tell her without risking his job. It couldn't hurt to tell Korra, even if the 'good' it would do is simply keeping her working with the police. She's a rogue, and this disease is attacking benders. If for any reason Korra believes Lin will not allow her to know anything, it may, eventually, urge her into trying to find things on her own.

That puts Bolin in an uncomfortable spot, no?

[Genkai]

I do think in order to prevent Korra from acting on her own just to find out what's going on, Lin will want to try to include Korra more though Lin is still having a hard time taking Korra seriously since she did recently eavesdrop. But still, Lin would rather have Korra feel included and important than have Korra making matters worse and tense for everyone else. I'm sure it would be encouraged to have Korra join the sort of task force, if to just assure the press/media that she's helping handle things too, it's not like they know she's a bit stunted with her bending right?

With Bolin, he won't want to risk his job by disclosing information to Korra. He doesn't want to get in the middle of Lin and Korra, that's for sure. After all, he and Korra are just starting to get past her horrible horrible actions. XD I'd think Korra would respect that Mako and Bolin can't speak about certain matters when on the job. Though it could be interesting if Korra and Asami could vent about feeling a little useless giving the situation (though Asami still hasn't mentioned her newly acquired bending yet...which would raise some questions).

[SoleAccord]

Yes. No one knows she's in a bad spot as far as bending is concerned. Though Korra eavesdropped, she did apologize, which I hope Lin will keep in mind. We all make mistakes and Korra's still growing up.

She'd respect it. HOWEVER, she's going to give Mako some SERIOUS shade once she knows that he knew about Asami developing bending and, with her, decided not to tell anyone about it. Looks like a combination of special treatment AND that Asami knows something about all this that she's not letting on, thus sparking the conflict between the ladies.

[Genkai]

Better late than never to mature but Korra still has to prove herself, it's not a slow process by any means. What Lin would prefer would be to have Korra just slow down and focus on her training but that can't be easy once things get complicated even more than they are.

Korra is going to have to accept at some point that for the most part, Asami was an innocent pawn in the plans. And that once Asami did sense something seriously questionable going on, she did try to back out and tell authorities but I recall us planning to have it still go ahead without Asami's consent. Then of course there's the epic battle in question when it's Avatar v Pseudo Avatar v Xano. Hopefully the arc that follows won't be intense so that people can rebuild once again...I feel bad for Republic CIty, man. But there's def going to be some tense situations and secrets floating around but we still have fluff too~ I hope~

[SoleAccord]

I hope you know that I HAVE to make Korra pretty immature, and that if it were up to me she'd take everything much better than she will. I only want to make sure you don't get mad at me if she's a brat xD

I think we should table-of-contents upcoming plots of our rp's so we understand what the order of operations is going to be. We have the upcoming arcs, but not everything is in order :C

[Genkai]

I know but she doesn't have be immature all the time. After all, she should be maturing and so far, she is taking those steps. Just make sure she isn't taking TOO many steps back in the weeks to come because she has learned lessons in communicating better among other things.

We could try and use the CS sheet for our order of events passed and present?

[SoleAccord]

Just as long as you're not busting my balls too badly :P I'll do all that I can and communicate with you my perspective. Let's stay a team on this.

Yes. Let's do that. Due to my 'one at a time' thing being a possibility, should we cover it as a to-do list, day by day? For instance, we write up the pairs and their 'to-do' list for the day. It doesn't need to be in-depth, maybe just a rough idea of what we'd like to cover with them before we move on?

[Genkai]

It might be best to just write down when we started and work forward with how much times has passed and what events have happened. We could then figure out the events though it will be important to make sure if we have to work backwards (since Korra, Bolin, Mako are still paused) that we're accounting for any needed skips and stuff and that time still stays pretty consistent.

[SoleAccord]

Join hands with me Genkai. Let us channel our creative energies together, and see if we cannot become even more incredible than we are now!

[Genkai]

XD

Our powers are unbound by time and space, civilizations will tremble at our wake as we envelop the universe in our greatness.

[SoleAccord]

OR, tremble at our consumption of caffeine and how little we put down after a particularly rough day.

Just me? Okay xD

[Genkai]

Ohh no caffeine for me, I gave up soda several months back and I don't drink coffee either lol

Since I got up at 6:30 AM this morning, I am feeling a bit sluggish. Catching the Pokemon Direct was worth it though...=___=

[SoleAccord]

I guzzle energy shots--tweakers, red lines, 5 hour energy if I'm desperate enough. I treat it as a crutch to try and get me to write more. I think I'll die of an overdose sometime, so I'm trying to cut down.

[Genkai]

Nooo those will kill you and that will just break mah heart. :/

But yeah, you should cut down or try to stick to some of the 'less harmful' ones...if there's such a thing lol

[SoleAccord]

Better your heart than your foot again. Well, not really lmfao, but I'll try to cut down, same with sugar. So how do you fight the sugar cravings?

[Genkai]

I've cut back on sugar too. I'm even eating more chicken and salmon. :3 And salads too.

When I want something sweet, I do indulge in chocolate from time to time. But yogurt (the good kind) has become my replacement for ice cream. It's not the same but you can add granola, fruit, and stuff to it. I also go for smoothies, like fresh bananas, yogurt, berries...blend and enjoy. I've been tempted to freeze it and make it into some kind of pop-sickle...I also have some good recipes for low calorie cookies that only use the minimum sugar. I've also cut out potato chips am sticking to fiber based cereals. I feel a lot better, mentally and physically. I used to go the gym 1-2 times a week before I injured myself. I mean two days ago I resorted to fast food (after a while of cutting it out) and I felt really sick and almost threw up so I think my body is beginning to rewire itself haha. But it's just little steps, that's all you need to get things moving~
