Hey, does anyone have any woodcutting equipment and/or extra logs? I don't have a lot of money left and I'm not even going to bother trying to get a reasonable price from the kedan. If it's already sanded down, even better.

[Taps her chin thoughtfully.]

While I'm at it, I'm also looking for both a large and small strong cut of cloth. Maybe leather or something stronger? Has to be very durable.

[video] I didn't fall asleep. Don't judge me.

[alphatar]

I'm sure that permit is going to cost a foreigner an extra juulan or three and that's not going to work out so well. [And he'd be right if she was fast enough to catch his drift.]

Hmm, close. I'm seventeen. Still. [She's not dying to be eighteen so she can actually qualify as an adult. Nope. Not her.]

Have you been on the turtle long? I'm still having trouble getting used to the kedan's customs. [Because hers are so normal.]

[video] Well I did, so judging averted.

[wallcrawler]

It might, even though the kedan in the Wood Sector have been pretty neutral toward us in the past. I could see if maybe Spider-Man's willing to help, though we haven't really talked much on the Turtle. But I've been seeing his calling cards around some of the rebuilt buildings in the sector, so maybe someone there could be convinced to help you.

[He's pretty confident this might come back to bite him at some point, but he didn't want to risk Korra getting drastic and cutting one down without a permit.]

I guess I have, but it's gonna be a few more months before I can celebrate being here a full year.

[And speaking of years...]

Come on, seventeen's not that bad. And being eighteen's probably way overrated. Unless it comes with some killer perks where you come from, there's no point in wanting to hurry up and get older.

[alphatar]

So you know Spider-Man too? You're the only other person I've met aside from Mark that's seen him. Didn't think he would be the lumberjack type.

[Possible backlash yes, but who has time consider consequences?]

Killer perks? Not being referred to as a teenager or a kid would be nice. But here in Keeliai age doesn't seem to matter to the locals, all they see is a foreigner. Or at least that's what it feels like in the Metal Sector, but you probably already knew that.

I took photos of him fighting the bad guys back home. He needed a way to prove he wasn't just an urban legend, the Daily Bugle needed pictures of him, and I needed the money. Anyway, I don't think he's the lumberjack type, but I have seen his calling card around some rebuilt Wood Sector buildings. I figure somebody might owe him a favor, and maybe he'd be willing to use it to help out.

[The best part is, the longer it goes on, the worse it'll probably get.]

Metal sector tends to hate us, yeah. But I wouldn't get your hopes up about not being called a teenager anymore. I mean, it is just turning eightteen. If someone wants to use it as an excuse not to listen to you, it's gonna be two years at the least before they stop.

[alphatar]

Does everyone have superheroes back home? [Seriously, she was really getting the feeling that this is something she should have known about before getting here.] I'll bug him about it, thanks for the tip Pete.

[If movie!Spider-Man gets accepted, Korra's going to just lost her shit if she ever finds out about the secret identity shenanigans.]

That's very true. I really wish you hadn't pointed that out to me. [Nah, she's not that put out, only a little.] So what is this mystery cloth of yours?

[video]

[wallcrawler]

[You mean if he ever shows up on the turtle again. Pete already had doppelganger issues.]

Not everyone, I don't think. And as far as I know he was the only one back where I come from. Don't worry about asking him, either--I'm kind of hoping all the photos I took will give me enough leverage to talk him into it. I mean, the guy definitely owes me.

As for the mystery cloth, I'll let you know once I find it. I've just had to mend my own clothes enough that I should be able to pick out something appropriate. What all do you need it for?

[video]

[alphatar]

So you blackmail call in a favor for me, what favor do I owe you? [If he's set on giving her that cloth, then she can't just accept something else for free because that's just not Avatar-ly.]

Wow, you can sew too? Not bad, I'm impressed yet again there Pete. I'm halfway into turning the second floor of my suite into a complete training/workout area. But I need to make at least a punching bag and a speed bag. Most of the other things I can gather materials and make on my own.

[video]

[wallcrawler]

You don't owe me anything. I'm actually in a position where I could help, so I'm offering to help.

[What strange universe are you from Korra, sometimes people just do nice things.

Granted he's from New York, so that rule doesn't always apply, but still.]

The sewing was more out of necessity than anything--cheaper to fix the clothes I already had than buy new ones, you know? Besides, Aunt May already had enough to worry about without adding clothing repair to the list.

[That's...not entirely true, since most of his work is to his suit, but Korra doesn't need to know that.].

I'll see what I can find out, then. Getting back to you in a week sound good?

[video]

[alphatar]

Alright, sounds like a deal to me. [Awww, he doesn't want to burden his aunt and is that sweet kid down the street.]

But all the same, if you ever need something I can cover Pete just let me know. [If he can help, she can help. Korra logic. Deal with it.]
