[Text, because she doesn't want to worry anyone;]
Is there a curse today? One that causes monsters to appear in normally safe places?

[Action;]
[See Tohru. See Tohru running in the Underground, breathing hard. She leans against a building, hand over the middle of her chest, eyes wide. There may be mistletoe above her head. There may be a monster she needs to be saved from. Maybe you can have both!]

Monsters? In what safe place are you?

I went to the Underground.

[...of course she did.]

The Underground is hardly safe for most, let alone [~~stupid, innocent~~] little girls.

But Mister Decempus said-

[There's a break in her text. She can't believe he would lie to her! Why would he do that?] There must be some mistake.

[Karl...why is ne not surprised.]

Most certainly there was.

[Her believing Karl to start with.]

Are you still there or have you left?

Maybe I misunderstood. [But it couldn't be that Karl was wrong, no.]

Oh, I left. That was the best thing to do, right?

Perhaps. [Doubt it...] To prevent future misunderstandings, ask someone else before acting on his suggestions.

Yes. And do not return without proper supervision.

there is a curse today but there are no monsters cause of it.

monsters are only in the underground.

I will.

But you mean it's always like that?

[That is so not what she was told!]

...I think I misunderstood what I was told, then. Something must have gone wrong.

Yes it is. And some places are much worse than others.

but there's always been monsters down there.

I didn't know. I must have heard wrong when I was told about it.

I will not likely be returning, then.

That would be for the best. There is very little down there that most people have need of.

I thought there were jobs. I mean, I already got one, but I still wanted to look.

There very well may be. But a job on the surface is preferable. And safer. [And would be less likely to involve silly things like blood.]

maybe. who told you?

[Okay. Great. Another place that thought she wanted to be a stripper. Korra stomps out of yet another bar, resolving to have words with Chekov about his recommending the Underground for employment.

Her foul mood vanishes when she hears a familiar voice.]

Tohru?

Monsters????

[ spotting the -- monster? ]

Hey-- are you okay!?

Ye-yes. [She's still trying to catch her breath, though.] Just not used to running this much.

[There is one, not too far behind her, but she didn't want to worry him.]

Yes. In the Underground!

K-Korra! [Oh no! What if there was still a monster after her? And she got Korra pulled into this? She could bear that!] Uh, uh....

Are you looking for a job, too? Maybe we should go in that store! [She nods her head towards one - a sex shop, not that Tohru knows - and hopes the monsters won't follow her inside.]

Mister Decempus. But that's not his real name. I don't know his actual name. He wouldn't give it to me, so I gave him a name.
