Mingle: Event Kick-Off
[ It was mid-morning. The sky was clear and it was a (not so) very blustery day. It was cool but it was always cool. It was neither too warm nor too hot.

Lukewarm.

And that was just how Bak preferred it. Especially since he had in hand his very important, extra special concoction of wonderful forgetfulness on hand! Bak could stand teasing, but even this was getting ridiculous.

Hefting the bag a little higher so it fit snug into the crook between elbow and shoulder, he stepped off into wild world of Marinanova and promptly had to grab onto his hat.

Opps. He always forgot about that step down.

Taking another step, he nearly tripped again, this time on a rock. Frowning, Bak starred at the offending piece of debris and then he kicked it.

And yelped.

And then held his foot, dropping his bag in a near blinding rush of ”Eeeek!” as he dived for the paper bag, watching as with a POOF half of the contents disappeared into the wind, leaving him sneezing and dazed on the ground wondering what the heck had just happened. Clearly, his own formula had been getting the best of him. It happens when one sneaky scientist messes with the formula and Bak spent the better part of the morning putting the final touches of the mixture together.

Heightened emotions indeed.

Bak will rue this day assuming he survived it. ]


((ooc: Consider this post an open mingle and the start of the Marina Feelings Roulette Event! Creating your own posts is, as always, highly encouraged. And, unless you got an extra hefty dose of it right off the bat (re: by being in proximity to Bak when it happened) feelings should gradually start to go haywire later in the day with strongest feelings in the afternoon and tapering off again as evening descends. For more info on the details, please go here. Have fun!))

[Asami hasn't really settled into a routine yet. She'll spend a good part of the day at her new home, but wander out every time she starts feeling a little claustrophobic. Maybe head to the library for a little while to look for something to read.]

At home?

[Garcia's busy singing to herself in the kitchen, while concocting... something. She's actually an okay cook but she has more fun experimenting than cooking.] Hey sweets, you want some fruit? Fresh cut cantaloupe is the best. I've got some extra here.

works!

[Asami smiles, grateful for the offer and letting herself be infected a little with cheer.] Sure. I'll take some.

Great! Girl talk is better over food. I mean, usually brownies but fruit'll work.

[Miss Talkative slides a bowl between them and picks out a juicy piece.] How are things? I wanna ask about Korra especially but you know, we can keep it general.

Yeah, I guess it is. [Asami grabs a piece and stares at it pensively rather than eat it.] I haven't had many girl friends, honestly. Not ones I trusted. [She smiles to let Garcia know she's been added to that very short list, but still no eye contact.]

I guess I'm adjusting. Korra and I haven't really gone over anything yet.

Whether you talk to a guy or girl or puppy dog or flower bed, so long as you feel better that's what matters.

[Chew chew, aaaand swallow.] Too soon for the "so now my man is your man" talk?

Yeah, I guess that makes sense.

He's not my man. [She shrugs, a little frustration in the movement.] Korra and Mako can do what they want.

Well yeah, sorry, that didn't really come out right. I have tendency to do that sometimes...

[anyway.] I just meant, it can't be easy to bring up. Especially since the more I get to know Korra, the more I think she doesn't really get the whole picture. She's absolutely fantastic, don't get me wrong! She's really, like... focused. And hey, focus can be awesome, but it can also give you these blinders so you can't see some other things.

[Asami nods slowly. It's not that she doesn't like Korra, it's just...] This is all new to her.

Not the magic prison with people from a thousand worlds. That's new to all of us. [She assumes. Because honestly if anyone was gonna know about this it should have been the Avatar.] But she grew up her whole life as the Avatar, you know?

The... Avatar? [Damn movie culture is making her think of CGI blue people.] Is that something to do with her bending thing?

[The look Asami has on her face suggests that Garcia just asked her what the sky was. It had sort of occurred to her with all these differences that she wasn't sure if every world would have their own Avatar or there would only be one or... people had asked already, but she'd sort of figured them for spirits and put it aside.] She's the bridge between our world and the spirit world. And maybe a lot of others, I'm not sure.

[She shrugs and tries to figure out what else needs to be said.] Korra is the latest reincarnation of the Avatar. She's the only one who can use more than one kind of bending. And she's... [More in touch with her past lives than most people seems like it might be an exaggeration given Korra's current state, but...] got a direct line to her past lives. She can talk to them, and see their memories. Anyone else would have to spend years learning how to do that and they'd have to get lucky even then.

[She's shocked, but Garcia has enough background in geeky fantasy plots to keep up.] Wow. I knew she had awesome powers, but I didn't think it was that scale. That's like... a massive responsibility to put on someone her age.

[Asami nods, but she seems unsure.] Yes and no. She's been training for this since she was a little girl, but... she has all the experience of all of her past lives to draw on for help.

Yeah, I guess. But I dunno, maybe I've got it wrong, but I can't imagine that a previous life is a real substitute for learning things on your own. I could be wrong and all, but that's how I picture it.

It's... [She pauses. Korra's bending is impressive, but some of her other skills definitely don't seem like they benefit much from thousands of years of experience.] complicated.

Yeah, it's a lot of pressure, but she can handle it. It's her destiny.

Wow. That's so huge! I'm glad she's such a chill person, because that sort of responsibility on my shoulders would probably drive me nutso.

So... what's your destiny? [She figures everyone's gotta have one, if it's a thing in their world.]

Yeah. Chill. [For certain definitions of the word. But she's willing to let that go for now.] Lucky.

[Asami shrugs.] I couldn't say. It's not always clear-cut.

No? Wow, I guess I sort of assumed if one person from your neck of the woods had a destiny, it was sort of a common thing.

But you know where you're headed, right? Like a general direction.

Korra's very special. Like I said.

[And then she shrugs, eyes looking down.] I thought I did. I was going to take back Future Industries and do some good with it. But, well, now I'm here.
