[sniptuck]

[ NEW MONTH, NEW US. Are you attempting to figure out ways to solve Naoko and Jenn's respective problems? Helping to make the base island nice and fancy? Or any other type of shenanigan that isn't listed above because I don't know your life and am not privy to every single bad idea to come across the crew? Well, it's time to make all of that happen here!

Anyway have fun and use this for threading. Make sure to check out the November OOC post and there is also a CR meme up. THAT'S IT, HAPPY SCORPIO MONTH!!! ]

[...that's fair. He seems to nod like he immediately understands, not at all bothered suddenly.]

We've dealt with a couple of people like that in the last few years. The titans and the giants and Gaea were all kinda really crazy, too. Dangerous, but crazy.

[bolin_rocks]

See, when you say that, I imagine really big things. Is that about right?

[expulsions]

Probably depends how big you're thinking. But yeah that sounds about right. Is that weird?

[bolin_rocks]

Probably not as weird as some might think, but I've seen some weird stuff. You guys must be pretty powerful if you were able to deal with them.

[expulsions]

I guess you could say that. [How to elaborate without making it weird...] Most of us have been training for a really long time for this kind of stuff. It's what heroes do in our world. [Normally he wouldn't outright call himself a hero, but it's true. They're all heroes.]

[bolin_rocks]

Well, I'm honored to be buddies with a hero. Wait, so you know how to fight, right?

[expulsions]

[He can't help but smirk a little as he reaches into the pocket of his jeans and pulls out what looks like an ordinary pen, settling for twirling it around his fingers.]

That's part of training, yeah. Some of us learn how to be archers and some of us work on swordsmanship. I've been fighting for a couple of years now. [Five, specifically, but who's really counting?]

[bolin_rocks]

You and I, should totally spar!

[Bolin stomps up a stone chunk, holding it just above his hand.]

I mean, have you ever fought a bender before?

[expulsions]

[He keeps his eye on the chunk of rock, not too worried about it but there's a slow smirk. He recognizes opportunity when he sees it.]

You're on. I don't think we'd call them benders where I'm from, but a lot of us where I'm from can use different elements to our advantage. My friend Jason can summon lightning and Leo--[He falters for a moment. Leo...right.] Leo could use fire to do whatever he wanted. Stuff like that.

[bolin_rocks]

Huh. But you didn't call them benders? Interesting.

[Bolin leans in and nudges his buddy in the ribs gently.]

So... Sometime in the near future, me and you, one on one?

[expulsions]

Well no. Why would we call them benders? [This is a genuine question here. But he lightens up anyway and allows for the rib-jabbing.]

You're on though. We'll go a couple of rounds and we'll see what your rocks can do.

[bolin_rocks]

Well that's... Just what they've always been where I come from.

It's a date then! I mean a fight date. Not a date date.

[expulsions]

Same thing, different names. [He can roll with that. He grins though.]

You don't have to specify, dude. If it was a date date I think you'd have to take that up with my girlfriend. Just say when and we'll try it out.
