[For the last few months, she'd been focused on building the home for herself and Asami - creating a useful fortress as a check against the future. Once that was done, she found herself at a bit of a loss. Asami had her work, Mako and Wu were doing their thing, so was Bolin...]

[And she'd avoided fighting here. She'd been tasked to kill beasts - and it would be so simple to do so. Which was why she hadn't. She was certain that all of them had been people, and killing them was all part of some Pthumerian plot she couldn't quite get a handle on. It seemed like their sort of style - the sort of long-term, sneaky corruption of a person's soul they had enjoyed in Deerington. Why should Trench be any different?]

[And that was what Deerington had done, and she'd hated it - she'd been just a weapon there, and the Avatar was much more than that. She was much more than that. And she still had no idea how to be her full self here. And wasn't sure it was possible. But she'd had at least one idea.]

So I'm going to open a shop stall. Move it around Trench, keep myself busy. Custom glassware. Gifts for your special someone, or something for your home, I guess.

I really need a name, though, and it turns out I am TERRIBLE at those. Suggestions, anyone?

They're all I've got here, right? But if it were you, of course I'd do everything I could to help. To be honest, I'd aim to trap you first, then healing could take place.

Trapping is, logically speaking? Probably a good method to go about helping someone transformed. As long as they're not too violent, trapping them gives time to attempt healing.

[Of course, though she didn't say it openly, she had worries about her bestial transformation, worries enough that she was taking extra care to be mindful of her corruption states.]

[Well, one would. Korra has nightmares about hers, sometimes. About a sword made of fire wielded by a hand armoured in living blood. Every time, there is a hint of wings. She's fairly certain it's a potential preview.]

It helps when it's me. I've got a BUNCH of tricks for that.

You have a veritable toolbox. That whole "Earth" portion would seem to be pretty handy for subduing instead of destroying, after all. It never hurts to have a proper toolbox when you're trying to save someone does it?

[avatar_state]

I've often thought I should wall off the whole city, in that vein. Might need help with that one, but luckily one of the best living earthbenders is here with me. Have you met Bolin?

Anyways, yeah, it doesn't hurt at all.

[onerthes]

On the one hand? It sounds like a great idea, if we can secure the boundaries of the city itself. On the other? Some of the threats seem to come internally, so it might trap us within. Then there's maintenance issues.

I've definitely met Bolin. It's been a while since we chatted, but here's my thought on the wall. It's a 'good idea' but given how things can be turned on us if we're not careful? I recommend you research into this, and maybe look into the city's history. There has to be a reason they haven't used walls before. That might inform if it's a good idea.

But definitely don't forget this idea either.
