[filtering? He knows, theoretically how to do that. But it'll take a few times of the wrong person seeing the post before it clicks that that's really a thing you should do.

also. one more in between the stream of intros]

Hey, I'm looking for someone named Jack.

[Also. How common could that name be? It was weird as hell.]

[...boy, are you in for a surprise, Mako]

You're going to have to be a little more specific than that.

[He glances upwards-- he really does not want to say her name, as there's something that feels like he might summon her]

I don't know anymore than that. He's Korra's friend.

[man HE IS STILL MAD but he's at least keeping a lid on it.

For now.]

[She wasn't much of a fortune teller...although there had been that one time when she was a kid, but she mostly chalked that up to coincidence...though there was something about this very moment in time that told here there was no positive outcome to his conversation.]

...am I allowed to ask why you're looking for him?

video

[browbeater]

I want to ask him something.

[It was true. He had a few questions that he was way, way too mad at Korra to ask. But despite the explosive fight they'd just had, he couldn't completely forget that he loved her.

As much as she'd pissed him off.]

[backwordscompatible]

Something...having to do with Korra?

[Yup. She had a vague idea of where this was going. Was it too late to sign the Winter Spirit up for Witness Protection?]

There's a few of us around, which one were you looking for?

[browbeater]

You know Korra? That's the only clue I've got.

Re: video;

[wintershepherd]

Yeah, we're friends. So I guess it's me?

video;

[browbeater]

Guess so.

[... well. He glares a bit, despite his best attempts to not be a raging asshole.

But it's hard.]

Look, I don't want to do this over this thing. You know the Wood Sector at all?

Re: video;

[wintershepherd]

Yeah, I live in Wood. Do I get to know what this is about?

[alphatar]

Just what the hell are you doing?

[More of a snarl than a question.]

[browbeater]

[.......AND THIS IS EXACTLY WHY HE DOESN'T WANT TO DO THIS OVER THE NETWORK]

What does it look like I'm doing? [wait, let's not let her answer that]

I'm just asking him some questions, Korra.

[alphatar]

If you stuck around long enough I could have given you answers!

[Not in any kind of decent manner and probably not the ones he wants, but answers are answers.]

[urbanmagic]

[Blinking. Um...] That was one of the more direct-to-the-point messages I've seen. [Though seeing her boss/friend has answered.] What's this about?

[browbeater]

Got the answers I needed, thanks.

[urbanmagic]

No prob, I think. Why were you looking for him anyway?

[browbeater]

I'd rather not talk about it over this thing, sorry. But let's just say I had some questions for him.

[urbanmagic]

Okay then, though I don't think you'd want to meet with a stranger who wants to ask for these details. [Aaand she'll try not to pry even if she's noticing something up there, before code of conduct = you can only spy on other people's conversations when they're targets and or bad guys, not friends (hi Jack, hi Korra) or some secretive dude.]

You seem pretty grim though. He's not in trouble, is he?

[One would think Clark would now better than to get involved into teenage shenanigans by now.]

Mako? Is everything alright?

[But nope.]

video;

[browbeater]

[it was much later, after his confrontation with Jack. And even though he didn't want to answer him, he figured he should. This guy seemed friendly enough at the party.]

Yeah, just had a few questions, and they got answered.

video;

[andaway]

[The kid didn't look on his best moments. Clark was aware it was none of his business but you didn't put up a blue and red suit to save people if you didn't have a hero complex.]

Alright, I'll- leave you to it I guess but if you need to talk I... always have an ear to lend?

video;

[browbeater]

Thanks...

[He'd consider it, were they closer, but for now, he wanted to keep any and all vestiges of his relationship with Korra off of the network]

I saw that you've got radios?

video;

[disfavored]

[And this is why he's never tried to have an actual relationships.]

Whatever this is about, I'm sure you're all capable of working it out calmly and diplomatically.

[Sigh teenagers.]

[browbeater]

[... sure, whatever you say Tarrlok.]

I'm diplomatic enough.

[disfavored]

...Whatever you say. [This is Tarrlok not believing you.]
