Video; UN: Bolin!

[pabugotmoves]

Hello everyone! Ladies and Gentlemen and.. people who aren't either but.. are other things I guess- ANYWAY! I'm Bolin, you might know me, I was in Deerington for a little while before we made the journey here. Mako's brother, earthbender, at your service.

[Bright! Excited! He's got so much to say and it's all great!! Bolin is sitting in a booth in The Raccoon Room, it's all very fancy and newly opened as you might remember from the big party on Halloween. Heck, you might have seen him there performing tricks with his omen Pabu the fire ferret, who is currently draped around the back of Bolin's neck like a scarf, only mildly interested in what's happening but squeaks every time Bolin gesticulates particularly big.]

Firstly, I wanted to say thank you to everyone who came to the Raccoon Room's opening night, it was great and I know it meant the world to Mako and Wu. And hey, if you had fun you should come back which is what brings me to my next point!

We're gonna do a musical.

[Jazz handssssssss! His eyes are very bright. Is this a good thing? Should you be worried? Remains to be seen.]

Wu has asked me to direct it, with music by Ryan from Chicken Choice Judy aand I know what you're thinking: Oh- Bolin [In falsetto, because that's how you all sound and you know it.] but a musical we don't know-

Wrong-o, it is going to be amazing and you're all going to love it. So good news, we're casting!

There's going to be auditions.. and costumes and music! And sets! It's going to be like a live action mover with songs, I can't actually think of anything better.

So, if you're interested in being a part of the show and auditioning or getting on the crew, drop me your name, questions, and deets and welcome to Trench's very first musical production ooffffffffff wait for itttttttttt?!!?

No, you're not, it's...

[She harumphs a little.]

I think it's mainly so we get to work on something together. I miss the Fire Ferret days.

[Said with a very genuine smile.]

[pabugotmoves]

Oh man. [A sigh] Me too.

I was just talking about that the other day, actually. We're all spreading out so far apart and I don't love it.

[avatar_state]

It's weird, yeah. But...I've got a couple ideas about that.

[Part of the reason the house her and Asami are building is a thing at all is giving people a chance to fix just that.]

[pabugotmoves]

Oh? Well I like the sound of that, whatcha got?

[avatar_state]

Well, you know how we all hung out in the mansion before? Well, Asami and I are working on a combination of home and safehouse...there'd be room for everyone to visit!

[pabugotmoves]

Oh! I love that, what a great idea! Maybe I can come and play when you're ready for guests.

Or if you need any help, I'm handy that way.

[avatar_state]

[She smiles]

Handy? That much is obvious and I know it well. I'll let you know if we need anything, promise.

[pabugotmoves]

Republic Scout's honor.

[avatar_state]

[She grinned]

Were you a scout? With the little suit and everything?

[pabugotmoves]

I wish but you had to pay for stuff and there wasn't a troop in Dragon Flats, anyway.

Sometimes I'd follow them around City Park, though. It sure looked fun, and so distinguished, so their honor must be worth something to swear by.

[avatar_state]

[She grins.]

If and when we get back, you could be a troop leader. I think having 'hero and actor' Bolin would be quite the coup for them.

If I had a kid, I'd happily have them in your troop.

[She pauses, looking thoughtful.]

I mean, if you could take it - being Uncle Bolin might already be a bit much, if that kid's as energetic as I was.

1/??

[pabugotmoves]

[That's so nice]

2/?

[pabugotmoves]

[Wait what did she say??]

3/?

[pabugotmoves]

[With every sentence Bolin gets visibly more excited.]

4/5

[pabugotmoves]

[Yes! Yes he would love to be an eagle-bear scout leader! He would LOVE to teach kids cool things. He would LOVE TO BE AN-]

5/5

[pabugotmoves]

ARE YOU KIDDING!?

[Bo nearly explodes, hands flapping out wildly before he comes back and grabs his Omni.]

Korra I would LOVE TO BE AN UNCLE! Oh man. Oh man oh man, is that the plan?? Does Asami know?! Are you going to adopt- Oh spirits-- are you pregnant?! Is SHE?!

[Change of gears.. kinda. Not really. Just shifting up. Bolin slaps his hands hard on the table and rocks forward to get very close to the screen.]

Korra you have to tell me everything, I won't tell a soul I swear on Pabu's sweet little butt.

[avatar_state]

[She groans, drawing her hands down over her face - not just to get past the moment but to cover the beet red on her face for a long moment.]

No, I was just...there is no plan, Bolin. And Asami would kinda know first if there was.

But let's be clear: nobody is pregnant. Not even a...no. Not even vaguely theoretically here. I was just saying...

[Ok, how to phrase this to keep him from misreading it...]

I'm just saying that, if I did in some theoretical future have a child, you'd absolutely be their uncle.

[But now she's thinking about it, and it's...yeah. Him and Mako. They'd be that, sure. And, in the end, the idea of who would be godparents if anything happened? Well, who else would it be but the two bravest people she'd ever known?]

[pabugotmoves]

... ooooohhhhhhh

[Is it possible to be all of the dummy and all of the thicc? Because here he is.

Bolin relents with pink cheeks and endeavours to shrug off his excitement. Wow he almost really embarrassed himself.

But it's Korra. And she doesn't care. So he feels like he'll be allowed to get away with it.]

Well. For those future kids.. Bolin is a pretty strong name, you know.

[avatar_state]

[She can't help but grin at all that, shaking her head and chuckling a little bit.]

It does. But you know what else might sound good?

Little something I invite you to think about.

[She holds up her hands as if indicating a marquee.]

Spiritfather Bolin. I mean, because it'd obviously be you and Mako in that case, right?

[OOC: Figuring out the equivalency of godparents there...wanna roll with it? :P]

[pabugotmoves]

[ooc that tracks!

eeeeeEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Bolin can barely contain himself before forcing a big breath while he shakes his hands out. Okay! Okay be cool be cool be cool.]

Korra, I would be honored! Are you serious? You're sure??

[avatar_state]

[She smiles, nodding.]

You and Mako are the people I most trust in the whole world, Bolin. Both of you would raise a child absolutely right.

[pabugotmoves]

[Mako, definitely. Bolin is living proof of that.

Him, though.. he's an unknown. Bolin loves the idea of it. He loves family and it's something he wants for himself some day. But.. well.. his self-confidence is fluttery. Plus logistics?]

Don't you think Mako and Wu? I mean you're a couple.. they're a couple..

[avatar_state]

[That's the thing, though. She's outside, seeing him as he is. And what she sees is a lion heart; kind and steady, reliable and dedicated.]

Well if I get you and Mako, I get Wu too, right? But there's no way I'd exclude you.

[pabugotmoves]

[Well.. wah. That's very nice and exactly what he needs to hear right now.]

Thanks, Korra. Lately it's kind of felt a little like I don't exist. That means a lot.

[avatar_state]

Bolin!

[Her face suddenly shifts into concern.]

You should have said something! You absolutely exist! C'mon, let's go do something, just like the old days! Me, you, Naga, and probably noodles.
