Sigh, this again.
“Well, if we hadn’t brought so much stuff with us it would be fine.” Avani said, rolling her eyes. A motorcycle was so much better than a satomobile, though maybe they should have brought both. Kasai could have driven a satomobile with all their packing while Avani was free to enjoy the wind in her hair, superior maneuverability and speed of her bike. “Besides, a sidecar is more comfortable than any cushy seat. I used to fall asleep in one when an old… friend of mine was driving.” She could hear the slight annoyance in her own voice, but it didn’t have anything to do with Kasai. It was just traveling for several hours straight after waking up with a hangover. Thankfully the hangover hadn’t come back, but it was still a bad wake up.

“Honestly, I’m not sure how much longer. It’s been a long time since I was back in the earth kingdom, and even then I didn’t go to Ba Sing Se last time I was here. Let’s just hope we traveled in the right direction.” Avani joked, and laughed as she stared at the sky. She was sure they’d gone the right direction. There wasn’t many other directions they could have gone from Republic City without ending up in the Earth Kingdom, unless they’d traveled by sea.

“Stranded…?” Avani found the word choice strange. “Yes, luckily there’s a town over there so we won’t get stranded on a deserted island. Nevermind the fact that we’ve traveled away from the sea. Better watch out for those sneaky islands, don’t want any of that “water, water everywhere, but not a drop to drink.” stuff to happen.” The snark was strong, but she laughed to pass it off as a joke. That’s what she’d meant it to be.

She smiled when Kasai kissed her on the cheek. “Who is gonna keep me from falling asleep then?” Avani sat up, so that they wouldn’t both fall asleep next to the road and leave their belongings unguarded. It would be easy for someone to just get on the motorcycle and drive off.

Avani closed her eyes, and enjoyed the sunlight for a moment or two. They couldn’t stay there all day if they wanted to get somewhere though. She looked at Kasai laying in the grass next to her, and it did seem as if she’d fallen asleep. Avani snuck her hand underneath Kasai’s shirt, felt her up and then tried to shake her awake. “Come on, let’s go visit that town. We can ask about lodgings and how far it is to Ba Sing Se. At the very least we won’t be stranded…”

She returned to the motorcycle, and waited for Kasai with the intention to drive them over to the town.

It was difficult to accept that Saint was truly dead. She’d been by Soora’s side for almost as long as she could remember. Before either of them had been known as Saint or Piranha, the orc had been her friend and to many others they had seemed inseparable. They had fought and argued quite often, but their band of loyalty had remained strong through the years. Yet Saint had gone off on her own without any explanation, and now she was dead. Saint’s body had been horribly maimed and on display when they’d found it. Soora really didn’t want to think about it. It had been bad enough that she’d seen her best friend that way once. She’d been the one they’d asked to identify the victim, because the body had been in such a sorry state.

The only clue anyone had to Saint’s murder was this female human Soora had been following the last days. Piranha had gotten one of her decker friends to go through Saints messages, and while most of the messages had been deleted there had still been enough for the decker to find who Saint had been communicating with. It left her with no idea why Saint had talked with an unknown human, but plenty of suspicion as to whom the murderer was.

Piranha wanted to put a bullet in the human’s skull and be done with it, count it as her revenge. Her boss Heung Lei had told her not to do it, and when a boss within the triads told you to do something it was often in your best interest to listen. Sure, Piranha hadn’t always followed her boss’ instructions to the letter, but this time he had a valid point. They didn’t know for certain yet whether this human had murdered Saint or not. She found a temporary solace in imagining what they’d do to her once they did prove it though. Saint had died quickly they told her, but Piranha would ensure her killer did not.

Thankfully she wasn’t the only one looking for the murderer, and there was more than one victim. Someone had to find something at some point. Meanwhile Soora followed the human around like a stalker, trying to catch her in the act. When that didn’t seem to yield any result, she trashed one of her hideouts to scare her. It hadn’t given her much satisfaction either.

She’d followed her to some place called Kian’s Teahouse. Piranha hadn’t been to the Teahouse in question before, but she knew the city rather well. She wasn’t sure how to proceed with her problem regarding the human anymore, but kept following her anyway. After considering her options for a moment, she went inside the teahouse. Sooner or later she’d have to confront her, to ask about Saint or blow her brains out, but for now she took a secluded table that had a view of where the human had seated herself. She wasn’t worried about losing her as one drone guarded the entrance, and another guarded the back door. They were hidden well enough that no one should notice them unless they were actively searching for something.

Piranha couldn’t hear the conversation that the bartender and the human were having very well, but from what she could tell the woman was upset. Good, she’d been disappointed if the human hadn’t showed any signs that what she was doing was getting to her. Piranha fished her PDA out of her pocket, and checked her messages. Maybe someone else had found something already. Several of her messages were job offers for her as a shadowrunner, but nothing new about the murders unfortunately.

Yup, been in a similar situation the last months too. I haven't been able to find anything meaningful or lasting than the one I already had since several months back, even though I want to do other settings or plots too. I've considered quitting as well, cause I barely know why I RP anymore most of the time. It's not the first time it's happened to me though, and I used to take breaks when it got bad, do something else, but it never felt this meaningless before. Too many bad partners I guess.

I think longer breaks help with regaining energy and trying again. It might be a good idea to list OCs and plot ideas, you wouldn't have to deal with people that aren't interested and it could be easier to find those who are. I used to list settings or fandoms that I didn't want all that much too, but eventually removed them just so I wouldn't get someone asking me about them.
