[foreveraclone]

I think I might have done something really stupid.

audio;

[braavado]

[Wow that's not ominous at all.]

...hold on, I'll be right over. Where are you?

[foreveraclone]

My apartment.

[braavado]

[Knock knock, someone's here to see you :| ]

action

[foreveraclone]

[he's quick to open it and let her inside, but he raises a finger to his mouth.] Zee's sleeping right now, so we have to keep it down. But hey.

[braavado]

Zee? [Korra remembers to lower her voice in time.] She's back?

[But she might not be in the best shape, if she was really taken.] How...is she?

[foreveraclone]

Yeah, I found her out with the others.

[he heaves a sigh as he wanders back over to sit down on the couch.] She's.... He cut out her tongue, Korra.

[braavado]

He...what?

[Korra's voice goes high and strangled on the last word.]

[foreveraclone]

He cut out her tongue. It... it isn't there anymore. [and to make matters worse--] Wally's been possessed by a demon, I don't even know what happened to my other teammate that disappeared, and I still can't find Kon.

[braavado]

Is she still bleeding? I can...try to help her.

[She might be a little rusty--two months of not bending will do that to a person--but she can still try.]

Let's take care of Zee [She uses the nickname, not realizing it's not Zatanna's actual name] first and then we can figure out how to search for the others. If people are starting to come back, they might be out there somewhere.

[foreveraclone]

[he shakes his head.] I think Kite cauterized the wound, but you can see if she has any other injuries. She can't really mend them herself since she... can't really cast any spells right now.

[even though he wasn't tortured himself, this whole aftermath has been so draining that it kind of feels like he was tortured.] Yeah. Yeah that sounds... that sounds good.

[braavado]

I'll see what I can do. Why don't you check on her first, and I'll get some water.

[She peeks into the bathroom and grabs the bucket, setting it under the faucet as she fills it up.]

[foreveraclone]

Right. [he nods. but instead of leaving to go check up on her, he just sort of stands still in place.] Have you ever been pushed to make a haste decision?

[braavado]

A...haste decision?

[She thinks about all those times she'd had to figure something out while facing the equalists. Then, she remembers why she's here in the first place--the thought had completely slipped her mind as soon as she'd heard about Zee.]

Conner...what did you do?

[foreveraclone]

I.... [he heaves a sigh. is it possible for his entire body to feel heavy but not heavy at the same time? he doesn't physically feel any different. but....] I think I made a deal with a demon to get Zee's tongue to grow back.

[braavado]

[She almost drops the bucket--as it is, some water splashes onto the floor, but she's not really minding that right now. No, she's too busy staring at Conner in surprise and horror.]

What? Are you out of your mind? [Korra sets the bucket aside before she can spill any more.] Conner, you--what did you offer to get her tongue back?

[foreveraclone]

He was going to hurt her even more if I didn't make the deal with him. What else was I supposed to do? Just let her choke to death? [his shoulders slump a little.] I....sold my soul.

[braavado]

[Now the goosebumps roll across her skin.]

Conner. [She doesn't even know what to say. Geez. So she'll just. Punch his shoulder, hard.]

I can't believe you did that!

[foreveraclone]

Yeah well that makes two of us.

[braavado]

Okay. [Now she can definitely understand why he was so stressed when he called. Stupid doesn't even begin to describe it.

The situation just keeps getting worse and worse, but...this isn't the time to panic. Sonia's still missing, and so are Aang and Toph, and Conner's friends, too. They can't afford to lose their heads right now.]

Okay. [She repeats, throwing her shoulders back.] Here's what we're going to do. I'm going to heal Zee, then we're looking for our friends. After that, we'll find some way to get your soul back.

[foreveraclone]

[believe me, he would have gotten an earful of zee too. if she...had an actual tongue and could form actual sentences.] Did I forget to mention that it was done by the demon who's possessing Wally?

[braavado]

[In a flash (haha see what I did there), Korra can suddenly empathize with Tenzin. Is this how he feels whenever she gets into trouble? No wonder he's always so grumpy.]

Anything else you want to share before we get started?

[foreveraclone]

[ahahahaha get out of here.]

No, that's it.

[he's going to opt to not... say that they sealed the deal with a kiss. because that's just awkward.]

[braavado]

[nope never]

Thank the spirits for that.

[Korra grabs the bucket and sighs.] Which room's hers?

[foreveraclone]

The one at the very end.
