[Video | Action for housemates]
Okay I dunno if my filters are messed up because of the Octa-brothers outside so I'm gonna say this here and really hope I'm going to be having an awkward 'your feathers are all ruffled over nothing' giggle of relief in like three seconds.

Derek Morgan, you better answer me, Mister. I know the lone hero thing is sexy as all get-out but we're being Captain Nemo'd here and I'm freaking out and I really need someone to cling to. And I know you're here because you wouldn't leave me alone. Right?

Just... please answer, okay? I'll feel way better about all this craziness when you get home.

[By the end, she's sounding less confident and way more like she's about to burst into tears. How the hell is she supposed to ANYTHING without her best friend?]

	[Korra's staring out the window. She doesn't tap or fidget, but she radiates a restless energy.] Maybe I should go look for him. [It's a bad idea -- she's been out of the hospital for less than a week. But something being a bad idea has never stopped her before.] (Reply to this) (Thread)

	No. Nononono, honey, that's not a good idea. All that'll do is make me worry about you too! Who knows what's going to happen. I'd rather have the people I love nice and close. And he'll answer. If he's here, still... [which is a possibility she hasn't really accepted, but it's getting more probable every minute she doesn't hear that sweet voice in her ear.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Korra doesn't argue like she normally would. She hates just waiting around, but her ribcage still aches and she doesn't want to freak Penelope out more.] What's happening out there? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

God only knows. All I could see before I ran myself right back here were really big arms with suction-y things acting like the dome is a drum kit.

...He has to be gone. [She's trying, trying to keep it together, but it's so hard. She's never without Derek when she needs him.] He'd be here in a second if he were here. And I'm not even considering any other possibility. [Like that he might be hurt.]

[Who's God -- right. The figure of speech is unfamiliar to her, although it has been explained. She wants to go see this thing for herself.

But. Penelope. Korra tears herself from the window and goes to lay a reassuring hand on the older woman's shoulder. She doesn't know what to say. She finds the idea of him being gone more frightening. If he's here, she can find him. If he's hurt, he can heal. But if he's just gone, they have no idea where he is. Maybe he made it home. Maybe he's lost in that place the Wardens claim people get lost in.

None of the possibilities are pleasant, and there's nothing that she can say to make things better.]

It'll be okay. [The words ring hollow, as words so often do.]

[The gesture is so sweet and so comforting and so not what she expected of hot-tempered Korra that Garcia almost gives in to her welling tears. But no -- no, she's the Mama Bear around here, and Derek would want her to take care of things.]

I know. I mean, I'm going to take a little while to be totally okay, but it will be.

...Assuming these scary tentacle things don't put a damper in all of our plans.

	Maybe they're a good thing. I mean, the dome is a prison. Maybe this is a jailbreak. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Having the roof cave in and drop several million tons of water on our heads is so not how I wanna bust out of here. But it's a better idea than anything I've come up with... [Sigh. This just sucks so hardcore.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	{5} deal_with_it 2013-05-29 03:03 pm UTC (link)
	[....when she puts it like that, yeah, probably not.] Don't worry -- water's my native element. I won't let you drown. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	{5} unmitigated 2013-05-29 10:11 pm UTC (link)
	I know you won't, babe. [But all the same, the roof should stay way up there where it belongs.] So... we should do something to distract ourselves. Ideas? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Uhh..... [Most of Korra's ideas involve bending or some other kind of fighting, and that's not exactly Penelope's thing.] We could...................uh...............do...computer....things? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Penelope grins, but doesn't laugh because she doesn't want to make it seem like Korra's really sweet gesture isn't appreciated.] Oh hun, I like more things than that, you don't have to strain yourself. What about a movie? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	{7} deal_with_it 2013-06-05 01:05 am UTC (link)
	[RELIEF.] A movie sounds great! [She's not a big movie person, honestly, but with enough action, they can be fun.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	{7} unmitigated 2013-06-05 01:22 am UTC (link)
	Great. Why don't you pick one and I'll get some popcorn going? [Her enthusiasm is forced but hey, you do what you gotta do. And at least with some movie on she can focus on not-Derek and not-tentacle monsters.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Sounds good to me.

[Korra goes to where the movies are kept and rifles through them. She can't read any of the descriptions, so she's going entirely off of how badass the covers look.

She picks up two -- one with two men on the cover who have impressively terrible mustaches, and another with a lady in stupidly skimpy clothing who nonetheless seems to be a pretty badass martial artist. She holds them up for Penelope.]

Which one do you recommend?

	[Garcia looks up and peers between the two videos. It's hard to pick when she really couldn't care less, but she tries to focus and choose one Korra would enjoy.] Left hand, babe. Go on and start it, I'll be there in a sec. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Penelope, you are vastly overestimating Korra's ability to operate technology. While Penelope finishes making the popcorn, Korra will be poking at the video machine, trying to remember which button opens the door.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[...oh. Right. Without a word, Garcia gently takes the movie, turns on the machine, and sets it playing.] [She grins at Korra and offers her her choice of sofa seats.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ahahaha sob] Thanks. [With a big, rueful grin, she settles down on the couch.] (Reply to this) (Parent)
