[Naga didn't land in the fountain, but she's definitely splashing in it now. Summer in the City is not designed for polar bear dogs who have heavy winter coats year round, and she's been wandering around all day.

She doesn't know where she is. She doesn't know how she got here. But the only thing that matters is she doesn't know where Korra is, and she is not going to rest until she finds her person.

She's pretty friendly for a half-wild animal, but handle with care.]





[OOC: Korra made a deal to get Naga in the City. Naga has been here and there and everywhere, so characters can run into her anywhere in the City. But only LoK castmates can actually take her to see Korra.]

[ Lalalala. Taking a walk. Such a beautiful dayyyyyyyy -- ]

[ SWEET MOTHER OF GOD WHAT IS THAT?!!! ]

[anatural]

[This is a polar bear dog. A polar bear dog who's trying to find her person. And in her quest, she's sniffing a lot of things.

You are one of them.]

[mortemscintilla]

[ Sniffing? WHY IS THERE SNIFFING? He's on his way back from work. He smells like a bakery. Like the Pillsbury Dough Boy. WHY IS THIS HIS LIFE? ]

Nice ... animal-thing.

[ PLEASE DON'T EAT ME. ]

[anatural]

[Karma.

Also, he smells delicious. Naga sniffs even closer, trying to figure out if he has food.]

[mortemscintilla]

N-No! Stop that!

[ Why, Karma? Why you do this? He hasn't killed that many people. Yes he has. ]

[ He stumbles back, hands raised defensively. Eyes darting everywhere. Hoping to find something to distract the ferocious beast with. ]

[anatural]

[Is that something in your pocket? Naga tries to reach in delicately with her teeth.]

[mortemscintilla]

[ Teeth? TEETH? NEAR HIS POCKET? OH GOD STAAAAAHP!!! ]

[ Sorry, Naga. Li has opted for the smartest choice. ]

[ RUN. ]

[anatural]

[Oh Li. Li, Li, Li. You do not run from a predator. Without Korra around, Naga has no reason to resist her instinct to chase.]

[mortemscintilla]

[ It's chasing him. WHY IS IT CHASING HIM? ]

[ Li is a city-boy, dammit. He has no experience with wildlife. He fought a war in South American wilderness. He has experience a-plenty. ]

[ Darting a terrified look behind him, he runs faster. ]

No! Keep away!

[ D: ]

[anatural]

[Naga's snarls probably sound terrifying, but she's being playful, really! And good luck outrunning her, dude, because the lady's got muscle. When he speeds up, she does too, loping easily through the streets.]

[mortemscintilla]

[ He's being chased by a ferocious snarling beast! SAVE HIM! ]

[ He could whip out a wire and zip to the closest rooftop. But Li's more convincing to bystanders this way. ]

[ More convincing still. If. He. Trips. ]

[ Oh, look. HE DID. ]

Oof!

[anatural]

[SUCCESS. Naga bounds up to him and sets a large paw on his back to trap him in place while she sniffs and licks his head.]

[mortemscintilla]

[ NOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooo!!!! ]

[ Urk. Licking. Being licked? Is the beast going to EAT HIM? ]

...S-Stop that!

[ Flail flaily flail. ]

[anatural]

[NAGA IS HUNGRY, HUMAN CREATURE. NAGA WANTS FOOD.]

[mortemscintilla]

[ HE'S NOT FOOD, NAGA! ]

[ ....Oh wait. Waiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit. He rummages one-handed in his jacket. Behold! A bag of (slightly crushed) cookies! ]

Here! Take them!

[ LEMME GO PLS D: ]

[anatural]

[Your offering has distracted Naga, human creature. She steps off of you and gobbles the cookies.]

[mortemscintilla]

[ Giant paws? No longer on his person. A very good sign. ]

[ Carefully, Li staggers to his feet. Backs slooooooowly away -- before breaking into a full-out sprint. ]

[ Hopefully the cookies will last before Naga notices he's gone. ]
