Video/Action after the sun goes down

[riceballfruit]

[There's a worried looking Tohru, at first.] Korra, Jinora, I really hope you both aren't out in this! I'll be home soon. [In fact, the scenery behind her isn't far from the apartment she shares with them.]

But this is awful! They look like they're suffering, falling apart. But they're attacking other people! Why?

[She hears a scream and stops, jaw tightening. A first for some - Tohru looks downright angry. Well, as angry as she can look. The device shuts off right then.]


[Action]

[And when she shuts off the device she uses her bag to smack the ghoul in front of her that was about to grab and bite someone else. Of course, this does nothing to really hinder the ghoul but make it turn to growl at Tohru.] I'm sorry, but I can't let you hurt anyone!



[ooc: Feel free to be the person she just saved (maybe they didn't even need the help), jump in and save her, or just try to talk sense to her over video.]

[Tohru hugs her back, lightly patting Jinora's back.]

But it seemed like she didn't want anyone going with her. [More worry. Why would Korra want to face it all alone? When she didn't have to?]

action;

[bookbending]

No, because she thinks she needs to take care of everything alone.

[Jinora might be a little angry. Mostly upset, but still.]

action;

[riceballfruit]

[Oh. One of those. The ones accustomed to going it alone, like Kyo.... If the fact Tohru kept looking towards the door wasn't a give away to her thoughts, when she took a step forward, it likely was. Still, she held back. They didn't even know which way Korra went.]

Then, when she comes back, we need to show her there's value in helping each other. [Except, Tohru didn't want a 'when she gets back.' She wanted to make sure Korra understood she wasn't alone.]

[If Tohru went... well. Of course Jinora would follow, but they don't know where she went.]

How do we do that?

Re: action;

[riceballfruit]

[The player would totally have her do it, but it would ruin plans!]

We support her. [Though part of Tohru wants to say, 'We follow her. We give her our strength.] And when she does come back, we don't take no for an answer and help her!

...unless she really, really doesn't need the help.

action;

[bookbending]

She won't want help.

[The girl becomes somewhat sad and reflective.] Or maybe she really doesn't need anyone.

action;

[riceballfruit]

That's why we persist!

[A sad smile.] Do you really know anyone that doesn't need anyone else? I can't think of anyone that would benefit from being completely alone. Maybe that's because I've had a lot of help, and a lot of gracious people to give me that help when I needed it.

action;

[bookbending]

[Jinora thinks over Tohru's words silently before coming up with a response.]

No... I think everyone needs help, but I'm tired of Korra not letting me.

action;

[riceballfruit]

Then you should tell her.

Let her know you want to help her. We can both tell her.

action;

[bookbending]

And if she doesn't listen...?

action;

[riceballfruit]

Then we keep trying!
