004 ◉ audio; dated to the 14th
[ The audio clicks on and there's a long pause. When Kyle speaks, his tone is calm, perfectly controlled. It's his Business Voice, blank save for the barest hint of anger. ]
This is Kyle Rayner of the Green Lantern Corps. I apologise for the inconvenience, but our clinic at EA-3B is currently undergoing repairs and won't be able to take more patients at this time. We'll be temporarily operating a backup at WA-1A. [ He attaches a map, showing where it is. ]
Any and all hands with medical experience or healing abilities are always welcome.
[ Another long pause. ]
And if someone could come collect Avatar Korra, that would be appreciated.
[ There is a brief pause, as though he's debating what more to say, before the audio clicks off. ]

Maybe we should sneak someone into the palace and be her secretary, pencil in a few things for the schedule.
video;
Have people ever been in the palace? Because that might not be a bad idea.
[He's joking on that part, but still.]
If we have to do this alone, then that's more reason for us to work together.
video;
Maybe someone'll do it, who knows.
[A beat, and then he starts typing something in the same window.]
Yeah, it's just tough to get organised around here - we don't nearly have enough intel about what's going on. Here, I'll enclose all the stuff so far, most of it's magic, which is a pain in the ass to fight, if you ask me.
video;
[He's going to try to make it work, anyway. He understands the reluctance people have to trust strangers, but at the same time he's hoping that they can be better than that. Trust each other.]
Magic. Why does it have to be magic?
[He smiles though. Hey, at least this is progress. They are officially a step above "no one tell anyone anything."]
Thanks. I appreciate that. I know it's hard, but it'll be worth it.
video;
[Said with fond exasperation, the tiredness bleeding through. He clicks send on the document.]
video;
[He's got a slightly tired tone, but he doesn't hate it. It's just one of those things. As usual, they always seem to get the better of him.]
You seem to have a lot of experience with things like this. Magic your usual area?
[He's just skimming through the document as he talks.]
video;
[Notice how he doesn't quite specify how much "a bit" is.]
video;
So this is a walk in the park for you. I'm kind of jealous, but I'm not sure if that's really a good thing.
[Scanning over the information at least gibes him some idea of what kind of person he's talking to. He's kind of out of his league when it comes to galactic forces, but he can at least handle energy.]
You do this often? This is good data.
video;
It's a bit of a vacation, yeah. You're from Nita's universe right? My job's pretty similar to Nova's.
[He laughs.]
The paperwork? No, not really. I delegate it - but there's no one to delegate to...
video;
[Yup. He usually consults out when things get that far North and into the unknown. It explains why Kyle has such good bearings though.]
This must seem like kids' stuff to you. So if you're doing your own paperwork, who is it supposed to go to? Eventually, I mean. Are you hoping to see a friend here?
video;
[He'd still take their habit of Colour + Noun any day though.]
With all this memory crap going on with people who come and go, there should be at least some record - and if I vanish, at least everything I knew about the place won't be lost. Alternatively, the Emperor could drag my C.O. here and he could deal with the responsibility, but I'm not holding my breath for that one.
video;
Worried about what you're going to leave behind? Maybe you're right. It'd be a shame for all of that to just vanish.
[But you need someone to leave things behind for, so there's that.]
If the Emperor actually brought people we wanted here, I'd throw them a party. Too bad she doesn't seem to like groups of any sort.
video;
[But he just grins, a little sheepish. He's just a dumb dork, right? What does he care about legacy.]
I'd be a little worried. We're... kind of the Nuke It option.
video;
It's the little things that count. That's the real source of a legacy. The decisions he makes every day.]
Okay, that's a good point. Assuming we weren't going down in fire and ice, though, they'd still deserve a party. Or maybe they'd deserve it even more.
[He pauses, murmuring something almost as an afterthought.]
Maybe we'll get lucky.
video;
The thing we're up against prefers fire. On the first mainland, there was a mausoleum of its victims. I'd say we deserve a party for lasting this long.
video;
Or at least a gold star? You're right. We do deserve a party for lasting this long. Maybe someone should do something about that too.

[He likes the teasing. It's fun.]
Not that I'd mind having people over, of course, but there's only so much one man can do.
video;
[Chuckling lightly.]
video;
[He almost, almost sounds serious.]
That way you can save your reputation and still have fun.
video;
Sounds like you have someone in mind already. Care to share the name?
video;
[Yes, he is volunteering them. It's not like they'll notice anyway.]
video;
They have suggestion boxes, I'm sure they wouldn't mind. Gotta keep the workers happy.
