[ It's been dark for nearly the entire day now. It literally sucks for Mako who's so used to waking up with the sun as it rises and, being a firebender, the sun plays a major part in fueling his bending and energy. Mako's currently got his communication device propped up on his bunched blankets while he's laying there with half his face swallowed up by his pillows. There's a light on in the corner but the darkness outside, to him, is starting to feel like he's suffocating in it. ]

... I'm going to assume this is another stupid curse. [ His words are half-muttered into his pillow, the grumble of discontent that follows inaudible.

Mako exhales heavily and buries his face into the pillows, reaching over to disconnect his device. ]

It's the City. Has to be a curse.

[mortemscintilla]

It's not so bad.

The previous ones were much more intrusive.

[ Like the one where Li ended up engaged to Korra :| ]

You okay, Mako?

[crowing]

It's always a curse.

[firesneeze]

That's like saying every day is a curse, which isn't true. [ Mumbling to his device. ]

[firesneeze]

You say this one isn't so bad. This one's hitting a little hard for me.

[firesneeze]

I must look pretty bad, huh?

[firesneeze]

[ Groaning: ] Not you too.

[mortemscintilla]

How come?

You don't have a night-phobia or anything, do you?

Re: video:

[charring]

Bad enough for concern. Do you need anything?

[firesneeze]

I wouldn't exactly call it a phobia.

[mortemscintilla]

What then?

[firesneeze]

Yeah. It'd be great if you could make the sun come up again. By the way - I don't think I'll be able to make it in.

[firesneeze]

I wouldn't know what to call it. This has never happened before.

[mortemscintilla]

The sun doesn't go down at all where you live?

[ Li. ]

[ Li pls. ]

Re: video:

Wish I could help with the sun. Take whatever time you need, Mako. Though, is it okay to ask why the lack of sun is bothering you?

[theshinjukucroc]

Just about true sometimes. Depends on how you look at things.

[It feels kinda silly, leaving Mako a message when she's just down the hall. But she was on the network anyway, so she responds.]

You know what we should do, right?

[firesneeze]

Well I'm looking at this day in a pretty negative way.

[firesneeze]

Of course it does. But this is different.

I'm a firebender. Sun. Energy. [ Lazy hand gesture. ]

My mojo.

[firesneeze]

Wazzat?

[charring]

Oh. [She...doesn't have that problem. However, they do have one thing in common.] Where I'm from, Firebending is known as 'pyrokinesis'.

[There's a sort of half-smile on her face.] I'm a firebender, too. I hope you feel better, Mako. The sun will be back to it's normal schedule tomorrow.

[mortemscintilla]

How so?

[ A thought occurs. An idiotic thought. ]

Are you solar-powered or something?

[theshinjukucroc]

Sounds like a curse.
