[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.]

The most borin' job ever? That's pretty borin'.

[A pause.]

What's your job?
trenchknives: (These boys they just wanna have fun)

[He's only laughing a little. A little.]

Okay, yeah, that sounds pretty borin'. I do some work for the Welcome Center sometimes, but it's mostly fixin' broken stuff. Don't think I could explain the same old City story over 'n over again.

Well, nothin' fancy. I can patch up walls, doors, floors, that kinda thing pretty well, though. I can even mend curtains. Kinda.

In a place like this? All kinds of weird shit happens. 'n y'know, sometimes people get pissed off about bein' stuck here, 'n they take it out on the Welcome Center.
trenchknives: (oh really)

Yeah, well, people ain't exactly always logical. Especially when it comes to the City.

[Jinora doesn't like using the network much more than Korra does, but this is important.]

Why aren't you home yet, Korra? Do you have any idea how worried I get when you're late?

[She can't help it! Jinora did promise Lin that she'd stop trying to be a parent, but it's impossible to stop when Korra's so good at getting in trouble!]

That's all? You're not planning on seeing any of your friends, are you? Nothing good ever happens when you're out with your friends.
bookbending: (Reading: No promises)

Yeah, but he helped get you arrested.

[Or something. Not knowing the details doesn't prevent Jinora from making presuppositions.]
trenchknives: (i'll think about it)

She is pretty damn nice. You're probably right, people probably do take advantage of it. You sayin' that if you were runnin' this place, you'd force people to behave?
trenchknives: (We'll make headlines)

Re: Video

[personal profile] trenchknives 2013-05-14 01:00 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah? Me either, but then, I don't think I woulda done a very good job as a greeter or anythin' like that. That's probably why I'm the guy fixin' stuff and stayin' outta everyone's way.

Okay, fine.

But be home before midnight. Weird people come out at night.

Couldn't you just... not do this job? I mean, it ain't like anyone forced you, right?

Well, shit, if you're stuck, you might as well start doin' stuff to entertain yourself.
