"It's Mako. Leave a message, I'll get back to you as soon as I can."

[Since their conversation on the phone had taken a more subdued turn, Korra had waited until the next morning to drop off the gift. Mako isn't there when she first peeks into the room, so Korra just leaves the container of cinnamon candy on his pillow for him to find later.

She's just about to turn and leave when she hears a sound behind her.]

[Somehow, she almost always gets caught leaving things when she least expects it.]

I told you I had something for you. I just thought I'd leave it here since you weren't around.
braavado: (So you guys all knew?)

[personal profile] braavado 2014-10-07 05:05 am (UTC)(link)
[There's something awfully stilted about the conversation already, and...this isn't the easier atmosphere they'd been working back toward before the Uzumaki arrived.]

Mako... [The day before, she'd written it off as a result of the raid, but now? She isn't so sure.] Is something wrong?
braavado: (I just got an idea)

[The radio tower distracts her successfully for a second...]

Oh yeah. I was going to help you look for things, too. Just tell me what you need and I'll keep an eye out the next time I'm in North.

[...and then it doesn't. Korra studies his face intently.]

So...that's really it? There's nothing else?
braavado: (Uhhh not sure what I can do about that)

[personal profile] braavado 2014-10-09 03:21 pm (UTC)(link)
[Erasing his memory….right. That jogs her memory, reminding her that there’s something she should probably make sure of, no matter how awkward it is.]

About that—your memory. [Korra bites her lip, suddenly very uncertain.] Conner said he…talked to you before. But then you forgot everything after you were revived.

Do you…remember any of that, now that people have been regaining their memories?

[Smooth, Korra. Very smooth.]
braavado: (idk...my bff Naga?)

[personal profile] braavado 2014-10-09 08:10 pm (UTC)(link)
So you know about...us.

[Korra winces. Ohhh boy. This isn't feeling awkward at all. Except it totally is. She bites her lip. She isn't sure what else to say right now.]
braavado: (We just wanted some answers)

[personal profile] braavado 2014-10-16 07:34 pm (UTC)(link)
[“That’s fine” he says. Though Korra wants to take his words at face value, she has this feeling that she should at least say something else. But the words aren’t coming.]

Okay. [She finally manages to unstick her tongue.] You just—you said we dated and broke up before, so I…wanted to make sure things wouldn’t be weird. That’s all.
braavado: (Huh. I never thought about it)

[personal profile] braavado 2014-10-25 06:15 pm (UTC)(link)
[Right. There might be almost a year between them, but she knows that tone. Korra bites her lip, wishing she hadn't brought it up now.

There has to be something else they can talk about...]


Have you been up to North again? [She blurts out the first thing that comes to mind.] I think the monsters are starting to show up in the tunnels again.
braavado: (idk...my bff Naga?)

[personal profile] braavado 2014-11-05 06:28 pm (UTC)(link)
[Still a little awkward, but at least it’s a safer topic.]

You still keep a record of things you find in that book, right? Have you found anything else?
braavado: (Someone wants to talk to you)

[personal profile] braavado 2014-11-06 05:51 am (UTC)(link)
I've been looking through the books in the library, too, but I haven't really found anything helpful yet.

[There's a slight frown on her face as she turns her thoughts back to the brainwashing community.]

And...sure. I'll tell you everything I remember. Most of the new stuff, after I regained my memories, is really clear, but the things we did before that are getting really fuzzy for me. Everyone else I've talked to said it's the same for them.
braavado: (It just doesn't come as easy to me)

[personal profile] braavado 2014-11-06 06:15 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, they gave us all these fake memories, even made some of us think we were family and all.

[She grimaces, sweeping a hand down her face.]

Ugh. I mean, Wan's about as close to a brother as he could get, so that wasn't too far off, but I thought Ozai was my dad.

Anyway, I remember all of that and some other things. A lot of it's gone, though. I knew how to speak and read English with no problem when I was there. Now that I'm back here, it's like I completely forgot the language except what I learned from Sonia before.
braavado: (Seems like I keep making enemies)

[personal profile] braavado 2014-11-06 06:30 am (UTC)(link)
We're not sure, but the memories were definitely linked to the vitamins they made us eat. Mine and Sonia's stopped working on us, so we started remembering things before everybody else did.

Once everybody else stopped taking them, they remembered, too.
braavado: (But it's just a ferry ride away)

[personal profile] braavado 2014-11-06 06:45 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I think so. Some of us just stopped getting affected by the vitamins, Wan started losing control of his bending... there were other people like him, too.

[Remembering how he'd actually blown up the house still makes Korra feel uncomfortable. It had been a close call. Too close.]

Whatever was in those vitamins, they must not have been as powerful as Yao Corp thought they were.
