Day 221 — Morning mingle : Main shelter
[Wake up and smell the lack of coffee. You're on a bunk bed. Maybe you're a top and maybe you're a bottom. There are five other people in your room. Maybe they're friends or enemies or faces you barely recognize if at all. It doesn't matter much. You can leave this room and you don't need to come back to it.

You should get your rations though. You're probably hungry. You're definitely a little sluggish of body. What happened to that bruise you got sparing yesterday? What happened to your newly dyed hair? Mystery, mystery... Move along. Find the public bathrooms and do your business with a hundred of your closest friends.

Find the kiosk and get your rations. Careful not to let anyone steal them. You won't get more until tomorrow and the bots won't care. They aren't here to hold your hand. If you get sick or hurt and they deem it necessary they will take you to the hospital whether you wish it or not. But why dwell on such things? You're here now and you might as well enjoy it. You even get a free day today.]

(OOC: OOC info. This mingle takes place in the Main shelter over the morning hours.

[ Hei is looking longingly at Korra's share of the rations, licking his lips and pondering a surreptitious swiping of a carrot before he shakes his head and settles his own share of rations on the table. ]

It isn't much, is it?

[ he tried to smile, but he's looking a little pale and wane as he leans against the counter. Oh dear, was this what hunger felt like? It felt like he hadn't eaten in a week. ]

	Not really, no. [Water. Rice needs water. She finds a pot, pours the rice in, and then shoves the pot under the faucet and turns it on. She's not sure how much water the rice needs, but...better too much than too little, right?] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	{2} bottomless_pit 2013-06-03 02:57 am UTC (link)
	[ Hei just keeps on smiling as he waits for her to finish filling that pot and then that moment passed and with very real concern he takes a step towards her, wide-eyed, dismayed, shocked ] Uh, that's... You shouldn't fill it with that much... [ Just... just let him have that pot please. Before you lose all the rice! ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Huh? [She turns off the tap and looks at him.] It's all just going to boil away. [What does it matter? But hey, if you want to take it from her, she won't stop you. She's not really interested in cooking.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[ he takes it all right and slowly starts to drain out the water, swirling the rice to rinse it thoroughly ]

It doesn't boil away; the rice absorbs it.

[ he gave her a sidelong glance. ] You've never cooked before, have you?

[ and if he didn't have experience with others such as Korra, he may have actually been upset. Such precious food, slowly going to waste... ]

	[Thank goodness. Someone else taking care of it. She watches him with the rice, more because it's something to do than because she's interested in learning. She does favor him with a rueful grin.] Nope. I mean, I can grill meat, but that's about it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ at least it's something... with a practiced hand, he starts refilling the pot again, measuring it to an exact measure through smple experience. ] Then you should learn. It will at least make the food more edible. [ and, opps. He's handing that pot straight back to her. Good luck, Korra. It's cook or starve. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[WHAT? Sob. Fine. Korra takes the pot back with only a moment's hesitation and a slight pout. She puts it on the stove and turns the heat on high (yes, she can operate a stove. Sort of. She saw Derek do it.)]

Yeah, I guess.

[She stares at the pot. Okay, yeah, she just turned the stove on, but she really doesn't want to wait for the water to boil. She huffs and uses her waterbending to get it started.

Well. Tries to. It doesn't actually work.]

I can't bend. [Panic sets in, sense memory of another time and another place when her bending was taken from her.] I can't bend!

	[ he looked up and immediately turned off the burner, shifting that pot to the side and out of harms reach. ] What isn't bending? It's just a pot full of water. [ For the moment, although he can make a fair guess that wasn't Korra's primary concern. Something had clearly set her off. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I should be able to BEND the water! [Maybe it's just water. She tries to call up a ball of flame in her hand, but nothing comes. She stamps her foot down -- not a temper tantrum, but an attempt to bend the earth. It's no good. It's gone. They're all gone.] No... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[ hei stared blankly at the mad woman and then quietly coughed. ]

Uh, I'm... not sure I follow, but the water will boil if you let it sit.

[ and he smiled, a slight nervous tick in the look as he slowly, carefully, turned the burner back on to full. There was no quick movement, no sudden flick of the wrist. If Korra was unhinged, Hei had no intention of sparking her madness. She was doing well enough without him. ]

	I DON'T CARE ABOUT THE WATER. [WHY IS HE SO OBSESSED WITH THE DAMN WATER?!?! Calm down, Korra. Calm. Down. She breathes in and out, forcing the panic down with every inhalation.] Do you have powers? [She needs to figure out if everyone with powers has been blocked or if, for some reason, it's just her.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[ well, they were here to discuss breakfast. The water was vital to that success. It's a mistake anyone could easily make. ]<?small>

Powers? What do you mean?

[ opps, did he just lie? His bad.

And then he blinked. ] Oh! Is that what you meant by... bending? [ he paused, rolling the word around his tongue as though the whole idea was a foreign concept. Unfortunately, it was, at least, in the context Korra gave. ]

	Yes! Powers! [She pulls on her hair. Don't panic. DON'T. PANIC.] I've gotta go. [She needs to find out what's happening, and this guy is clearly useless.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ eh?! He reached a hand, grabbing hers before she could flee. ] Ah... if I might mention it, but... [ he glanced down at the power bracelet ] Aren't those supposed to keep them locked? [ a nod to the right direction. It was the only he hint he could give and still remain anonymous. And frankly, if she leaves, he can't guarantee the safety of her food. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	{9} deal_with_it 2013-07-14 07:23 pm UTC (link)
	What do you -- you mean this is blocking them? [She tries to rip the bracelet off.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	bottomless_pit 2013-07-15 01:43 am UTC (link)
	[ he frowned and backed up a step, showing unease at her frantic need to remove her bracelet. ] Ah... I think so. At least isn't that what they did back in the old dome? [ he said it sheepishly, hesitatingly. He'd really rather she didn't fly off the handle. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	{10} deal_with_it 2013-07-15 11:15 pm UTC (link)
	[She'd forgotten about that first day. Hadn't wanted to think about it. But he's right.] So it'll be gone tomorrow. [It BETTER be gone tomorrow. She will hurt things if it's not.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	good point to fade to black in the next tag or two? bottomless_pit 2013-07-20 09:48 pm UTC (link)
	[ he hesitated, but then he nodded, looking more nervous then convinced ] Ah, y-yes... Tomorrow. [ see? He's in completely agreement. ahem ] Shall we continue with lunch then? [ because that water isn't getting any hotter. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	{11} Korra's just gonna leave XD deal_with_it 2013-07-21 04:38 pm UTC (link)
	You have it. I'm not hungry. [She'll regret that later, but right now she just wants to be alone.] (Reply to this) (Parent)
