Varianβ€”

Checking in.


[ Mako-speak for: please give me a status update and assure me that you are alive and un-kidnapped by spooky mountain people and continue to have the number of limbs Mako met you with, thank you. ]

Also, before the school was destroyed I managed to grab some chemicals from a locked cabinet. They were all pretty dusty, but I figured you might want them?

[ Attached to the text is a picture of a cabinet full of, yes, dusty labeled beakers and bottles. ]
arclightning: (thinking | awkward | well...)

[personal profile] arclightning 2021-04-23 01:07 am (UTC)(link)
I can't even imagine. This sand gets everywhere as it is. It's in my bed. I take my shoes off at the door. Wu makes me change before I come into the bedroom.

I have no idea how it makes it in here.


[ If Mako never saw sand again after this he would be thrilled, honestly. ]

Even thinner because those mountain people keep stealing from our caches. I was setting up decoy ones but I think they caught onto that, too.

I'll get Bolin to run them over later. They were at the community college.


[ Mako is not currently allowed outside the house. ]
arclightning: (talking | then why did you ask)

[personal profile] arclightning 2021-04-25 05:34 pm (UTC)(link)
No, wait. It was rhetorical but you're saying if I can dry off before I come into the house the sand won't stick as much?

[ This is useful information!!! ]

Traps are a perfect idea, yes. Defintely trap any caches you currently have; if you have the time the one at the safehouse is getting bigger and it's going to end up being a target sooner or later.

[ Crap, he should've been more careful with his words. Mako winces, glancing over at the pile of fluff sleeping next to him like it was Fritter's fault. ]

Yeah, Bo's here. Settling in as well as anyone can here.

I'm fine. Wu won't let me leave the house.


[ Nailed it, not suspicious AT ALL. ]
arclightning: (awkward | help me | why)

[personal profile] arclightning 2021-04-26 02:10 am (UTC)(link)
Huh. That's really good to know. I'll try that and hopefully stop getting yelled at. Now we just have to keep Fritter inside. Why is that, exactly? The shaking instead of the rubbing?

[ Tactic: distract Varian by asking about science so he stops asking probing questions.

At least the booby trap stuff is helpful, both the disarming mechanisms and the promise of the neutralizing solutions.
]

Thank you, that's perfect. I'm thinking if they learn that messing with the caches is a bad idea, they'll leave them alone. They seem smarter than I want them to be, you know?

[ S I G H he is so bad at avoiding direct questions. ]

Not exactly. I didn't die, if that's what you're worried about. I ended up with half of Wu's death flu and I think it got really bad. I was out for a few days but I'm fine, now he's just being paranoid.
arclightning: (thinking | embarrassed)

[personal profile] arclightning 2021-04-27 02:04 am (UTC)(link)
Wu's trying really hard to train her to sit and stay. It's... kind of working? Have you been able to train Ruddiger at all?

Wouldn't that just also get talcum powder all over my bed?


[ While, admittedly, not sand, that is still not ideal. Wu is protective of the sheets, alright. ]

We handled everything. It could've been handled better, but no. It didn't have anything to do with that.

But yeah. I didn't want Wu to be out of commission for a whole month. It was awful when I was stuck with it, and I figured I worked through it once. Yours is over with, right?


[ Throwing stones in glass houses here, bud! ]
arclightning: (thoughtful | I don't know bro)

[personal profile] arclightning 2021-04-29 01:04 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, Varian, obviously you shake the talc off but that stuff sticks.

[ Huff! ]

That explains a lot about the horse that's on the guard, I guess. Fritter is way too smart for her own good. She's hoarding pens for some reason and we had to get these things labeled childproof locks for the kitchen. They've mostly worked but she already figured out how to get past them.

You're welcome to ask her what she wants with all the pens.


[ Corona sure is a weird place. Then again, Naga and Pabu are just about as smartβ€”Pabu definitely understands Bolin way beyond his training, and Naga's practically sentient, some of the time. ]

More or less. It was another demon.

I'm getting really tired of demons, actually. Wu's alright, too. As alright as he can be.


[ Oscar has, in fact, mentioned what he gave up for Varian, but Mako doesn't want to bring it up, either. It's not his business, and he isn't sure if Varian actually knows. Maybe one day that kid'll get it into his head not to just give up everything he has for the people around him. It reminds Mako way too much of Bolin when they were young. ]
arclightning: (talking | then why did you ask)

[personal profile] arclightning 2021-05-01 01:31 am (UTC)(link)
Great, so, blindfold the raccoon is what I'm hearing.

Or just lock her out of the kitchen. Not like it would matter, Wu feeds her at least a quarter of his dinner every night. That can't be healthy for raccoons.

You should definitely ask. I would appreciate that. Just... don't tell Wu you can talk to her or he might never leave you alone about it.


[ He's spending a long time on that part because the next part of this conversation is... a lot harder. ]

I do, and as far as he tells us, he's dealing with it. His name is Sam. The demon's name is Lucifer.

Demons aren't really a thing back home. We have spirits, and plenty of them are evil by our standards. Koh the Face Stealer, for example.

I guess I don't have to ask why you're not a fan.
arclightning: (worried | unsure | not good)

[personal profile] arclightning 2021-05-04 01:14 am (UTC)(link)
It's not. We checked. And I've tried to tell him she's an animal and doesn't need spicy noodles but he's convinced she loves spicy noodles, so.

[ That's probably why Mako's talking about her so much. She really is a hopeful little thing in these awful times. ]

It's literal. I mean, I've never met him, but the Avatar before Korra did. If you don't keep a completely neutral expression when you're talking to him, he'll steal your face and keep it. I don't get why anyone goes to talk to him. All the most knowledgeable spirits seem terrible.

[ Just some minor Avatar-world blasphemy, don't mind him. ]

What is it with ancient forces of evil and holding grudges? How'd you manage to stop her?
arclightning: (unsure | no way | concerned)

[personal profile] arclightning 2021-05-08 08:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Do we even have a long-term solution? I've been freezing stuff and I know Oscar said something about preservation but we need a lot more fresh food than we're making right now if we're going to stay alive.

[ Mako is getting really, really tired of ancient evils in general. ]

Maybe we need to be collecting more ancient artifacts, too. Just in case.
arclightning: (talking | it can't be that bad)

[personal profile] arclightning 2021-05-11 11:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, if you can't find a generator, I worked for a power plant for a while, back home. I know how to keep one running.

[ Perks of Being a Lightningbender, a new novel by Mako. ]

Ancient-evil-wants-them-at-all-costs-bad?
arclightning: (exasperated | working for wu)

[personal profile] arclightning 2021-05-15 12:26 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. It's pretty tiring, and less stable here, but if we need it, I can. Whole bunch of lightningbenders back home worked at the plant as their day job. Weeks on end.

Yeah, Vaatu was similar. I told you about him, the one who possessed Korra's uncle. She beat him just in time.

Just once I'd like to beat something that important with a lot of time to spare.
