We must move now.

We have the advantage, we have the power, but we need you, we need your help. You have to choose.

Come and help us. We will liberate you. We will let you live as you wish, without curses, without the pain of the deity tyranny. Come help us fight the deities. Put an end to this. Do it now. Do it for yourselves.

Do it for yourselves.

Because we will act now.

[Korra doesn't respond, but she see this post. It stirs something inside her... excitement, conviction, but mostly? Fear.

Fear of failure. Fear of retaliation. Fear of random violence. Fear enough to make her physically ill. She quickly closes her device and tosses it aside.

There's nothing you can do. You can't bend. You can barely even walk. She scowls and kicks the cane resting by her bed.

She hates this.]

[anunluckypenny]

What do we need to do?

[flammiferous]

[As if the weight of Mako's footsteps on the hard floor isn't already a giveaway, his glance inside Korra's room is extremely unsubtle.

But he walks away because SOMEONE hasn't been receptive to him lately. Whomp, whommmmp.]

getting in on that action

[riceballfruit]

[Tohru caught the post like most people likely had. Her own feelings were conflicted. On the one hand, what could she do? Would this really work? What about the deities? Did they deserve to be overthrown? There were a lot of questions on her mind. Clearing it out, she made tea.]

[Then she thought of Korra, unable to move and the cup of tea turned into two cups. She took them up on a tray to Korra's room along with a big smile.]

[She used the tray to knock on the door.]

Korra? Would you like to join me for some tea?

[anatural]

[DON'T THINK SHE MISSED THAT, MAKO. And color her unimpressed. Passive aggressive jerk.]

awww yis

[anatural]

[Crap, she kicked her cane too far out of reach.]

Hey Tohru.

[Groaning a little (maybe the doctor is right telling her she's pushing her body too hard in physical therapy...), she limps over to her cane.]

Sure. I'll be right out.

[riceballfruit]

Ah, no! I brought it with me. You don't have to come out.

[Outside she shifts the tray.] May I enter?

[anatural]

I'm not helpless! [Sorry, Tohru, she's a bit snippy.

She's also falling as her leg abruptly decides to ragequit.] Ouch!

[Permission to enter is tacit.]

[riceballfruit]

[Well, she had been ready to wait until she gained permission (was even about to apologize), until the Ouch!]

Korra! Are you all right? [She enters after that, and sets the tray aside to retrieve Korra's cane and hands it to her.]

How did it end up all the way over there...?

[anatural]

[wincing] I kicked it. [She takes the cane and hobbles back to sit on the edge of her bed.]

[riceballfruit]

[Kicked it...? By accident? Tohru's not sure what to make of that. She, at least, settles by Korra and gestures to the tray.]

Did you want to go downstairs for the tea? I only thought if I brought it, it would be easier. But we can go downstairs if you want.

[tangledintower]

[After careful deliberation and a whole month of staying neutral...she's picking a side.]

If...if this works...what happens afterwards, after the deities are gone?

[butweneedyou]

There will be a battle, and you will choose a side.

[butweneedyou]

What would you like to happen?

[Video]

[destinedtobeunpopular]

And hurt more of us citizens?

[tangledintower]

I don't...I don't know. I just don't want anybody to get hurt. Maybe have less awful curses, too, I guess...

...what would happen to the deities?

[hexuality]

When and where?

[butweneedyou]

Tomorrow, the square. We will see you there.

[Video]

[butweneedyou]

That is not and never was our intention.

[butweneedyou]

Imprisoning, perhaps.

[hexuality]

And then?

[Are they fighting to get right back to where they started?]

[butweneedyou]

We will eliminate the curses. Eliminate the barriers.

[hexuality]

If you've been here long enough, you know what's outside the barriers.

[butweneedyou]

Not those barriers.

The ones that keep you from going home. If you choose it.

[hexuality]

Just like that.

[vengefully]

Does that include leaving this place for good?

[anatural]

Here's fine. [Korra's pride wants to go downstairs, but tumbling down the steps would be way more embarrassing than having tea in her bedroom.]

[anunluckypenny]

An actual battle? With fighting?

[butweneedyou]

It will.

[butweneedyou]

We must discover the true mechanics, but we have hope.

[butweneedyou]

Yes.

[hexuality]

It's going to be worse for everyone if this goes poorly.

[Well. That only means one thing.]

Good thing no one plans on that happening.

[anunluckypenny]

Isn't there a better way?

[vengefully]

What if that doesn't work out?

[butweneedyou]

Then we will try again. And again.

[butweneedyou]

This is the better way.

[vengefully]

And you only need us to fight then?

[anunluckypenny]

Hurting people isn't ever the better way.

[Video]

[destinedtobeunpopular]

But you have, haven't you?

[tangledintower]

...if they get locked up...are they at least going to get a trial first? I mean, I know they've done some bad things, but it doesn't seem right to not give them a trial.

[butweneedyou]

Is that what you would like?

[tangledintower]

I...don't know...but it seems like that's the right thing to do.

[riceballfruit]

I am very glad I brought a tray, then. [She settles by the bed with the tray in hand, two cups of tea on it, along with napkins and cream.]

[anatural]

[Korra huffs and takes one of the cups, not bothering to put anything in it.]

Thank you.

[riceballfruit]

You're welcome. [She takes a sip of her own.]

Are things coming along well? Is physical therapy helping?
