[Korra doesn't understand the Network. She doesn't get how she's supposed to use it, why people keep posting on it, why they post such stupid stuff.

So of course her new job at the Welcome Center involves just sitting around and watching the Network in case any newbies show up who need greeting.

She's already done all the chores she can think to do, and she can't run through her bending forms and monitor the network at the same time. She's trapped in front of the little computer, a prisoner of its headache-inducing glowing screen.

It's only because she has literally NOTHING ELSE TO DO that she decides to try her hand at posting something. Maybe if she does, she'll get what all the fuss is about.]


This is seriously the most boring job ever.

[long, awkward silence, then she clicks the feed off.

Nope. Still doesn't get the appeal.]




[ action - Monday night ]
[She's released from the Welcome Center around 11 PM. It's a long walk back to the Beach House, but she doesn't want to make Naga hang around the Welcome Center and be bored and stressed out like she is.

Korra sighs, stretches, and looks up at the moon. On a whim, she decides to head to the park and practice her meditation. It's not like she hasn't been sitting still for FIVE HOURS, but...well, it just feels right. Maybe she'll have an easier time meditating in the quiet of the park while the moon is out.

It's worth a shot, at least.]

Because that is not meant to be.

That's complaining.

[Neil is inherently bothered by lives of quiet desperation, it's just kind of a thing.]

Well, Penny's great-- but just because she loves her work doesn't mean you have to.

I wish I could help, but we don't really need security.

[She hugs Korra tightly.] It won't happen again, I promise.
trenchknives: (more books)

Me too. We don't have anythin' even close to this back home.

Get a different job then if you find it boring.

[Shikieiki rarely sleeps, and Korra will likely have seen her coming in and out of the area at all hours depending on when she's there. Much of the City has gone to sleep now, except for those who enjoy the night, especially out here in the park.

The Yama waits until Korra has fidgeted or otherwise broken meditation before speaking. Her voice is calm but with a certain strength that is not altogether common.]


I have seen you around Penny's center before, but I don't recall your name.
vengefully: (Curious)

[personal profile] vengefully 2013-05-19 12:16 am (UTC)(link)
Then why were you complaining?

Well, most people think it's pretty damn far in the past. It was 1920, last time I checked, 'n people here're from, y'know, the future. So we got telephones, but nothin' fancy. What's your home like?
had_not_lived: (☞ I wanted to live deliberately)

[personal profile] had_not_lived 2013-05-19 05:40 pm (UTC)(link)
It's just-- the City's such a big place, I hate to think of anyone making themselves unhappy when there are so many possibilities.

Shikieiki Yamaxanadu. [It's proving a mouthful for most people, as it always does, but she feels the need to be formal.]

My apologies if I've interrupted a nightly ritual of yours; I will leave you be if you wish.
