Video; Joint post dated March 22nd

[alphatar]

[The feed turns on to show Korra, smiling a deviously broad smile (those who know her probably know that smile means she’s up to something) and she holds a finger up to her lips before she whispers.]

Okay you guys. I need you to tell Mako that the network doesn’t actually bite and he can use it to talk to people.

[Then she turns around and happily exclaims:] Oh good, the tea’s ready. Thanks, Mako. See, isn’t he a gracious host? [That grin she has on is sinful.]

W-- Korra, turn that off.

[he sets the tray down pointedly, looking between her and the console, obviously caught off guard and not sure what to do]

In a minute. [Not even a minute, she fully plans to keep it on as long as possible.] Why don't you come over here and try it? [Not that she's giving him a choice since she's taking both cups of tea over to the console.]

I already told you I know how to use it. [he sits down, and focuses on her] We could've kept this conversation between us, c'mon, turn it off.

[and then he turns to the camera to give it an Intense Mako Stare (tm).]

We were talking about the network, so we should include the network. [She says it like it's the most practical, logical thing in the world.] So anyone who doesn't know, I'm Korra and this is Mako. He's been here for months but none of you probably recognize him because he never uses the network. So feel free to say hi to him! [Totally treating him like a new arrival. She's not sorry at all. Feel free to bug Korra too.]


(OOC: Maroon font=Mako and Baby Blue font=Korra.)

and now, video;

[puppetfetish]

_{[ okay, Mako. Say hello to mister pointy-shades ballcap man. Looks like he's in his suite, and wearing a black polo with a matching cap to boot. His arms are crossed and he wears a pokerface. ]}

Yo.

_{[ only because Korra encouraged him to do so. ]}

[browbeater]

... Yo.

[deadpan. THERE ARE TIMES THAT. HE REGRETS THAT HE EVER ACQUIESCED TO KORRA.

this is one of them]

[puppetfetish]

_{[ just this face for a moment. ]}

video; 2.2

[puppetfetish]

You're Mako.

_{[ A+ deduction there.
Bro only gives off the vibe that he parties hard and knows how to socialize, but really, he's kind of a recluse. ]}

[browbeater]

And you're Bro.

[he seems awkward as hell at this whole. Mediated meeting thing. Or that could just be normal.

He gives off the impression that he is way too serious for his 18 years.]

[puppetfetish]

Not only just that, but—
_{[ there's a very slight pause and then... rapping. ]}

A new genesis,
just call me the menace,
rose from the dead,
my raps are replenished,

Don't push me around cause you wont be excused,
and don't get your shoes, and me confused,
Cause you don't step on me, prick,
I step on you,
I'm the best of the best,
I do what I do,
If you gotta problem with that,
then fuck, motherfuck you,

they call me S to the ider
S-T-R-I-D-E-R,
Been workin' on lyrics,
So I can get higher,

High so high,
I'll fuck the sky,
I'll teach'em right,
cause when a rap battle comes,
I'll always take flight,

Check it.

_{[ Instrumental: incoherent beatboxing. ]}

Strider too much for you,
Bro will simply do,
been calling myself that,
since I was only two,

Whacka whacka booya,
Throw em on the ground,
Push 'em around,
Shit I had to do,
was to only benefit you,

Thats how you raise a brat,
That's how you win at that.

_{[ a beat. ]}

I'm a bartender here.
I teach at Korra's place too.
I make cute shit.

[browbeater]

Uh.

Cool? What was all of... that? [how the fuck did you even come up with that on such short notice. SO MANY QUESTIONS]

[puppetfetish]

Sick beats, ya dig my shit.
See what you've got.

_{[ that's a challenge. ]}

If you've been chillaxin' with Kor, you gotta be cool.
Mandatory if you associate with her.

_{[ you've been put on the spot. ]}

[alphatar]

[So what if Korra enjoyed the beat boxing. But she’s smiling at Bro’s insistence. She managed to survive a crash course in Bro’s lingo, so Korra’s betting Mako can too.

Maybe.

A small nudge at the “mandatory part is all she gives Mako.]

He’s cool, and chill. [Yes, she’s throwing that little statement from earlier at Mako and reveling in it.]

[browbeater]

Sorry, I don't do "sick beats." [a beat] Unless you're talking about street beats. [sort of]

[puppetfetish]

I'll teach you one day.
Can't have Korra hanging out with lamewads.

You do the shooty-water-air-fire and whatever shit too?
