INDEFINITE HIATUS

{ Due to my low activity because of my low motivation, I’m officially putting this blog on hiatus.

As of right now, I have absolutely NO idea when I’ll be returning, but seeing that it’s gotten to the point where I’m not enjoying myself when I check on this blog, I need to distance myself for a bit. I’m not sure what it is exactly--I ADORE Varrick and love the deeper character he has that we see glimpses of in the show--but just something about this blog... I dunno. The feeling just isn’t right atm.

Sometimes you just make a blog and there’s something about it that doesn’t sit quite right, y’know? Not sure if anyone else has had this before.

Either way, thanks to all of my lovely rp partners for putting up with this idiot. I do hope to return, but at this moment, I’m clueless as to when that will be.

THANK YOU!!

“I am so sorry, Sir! It will never happen again - I promise.”

The club was now being held behind her, as if it no longer being in view would make up for her almost braining Varrick with it. “How about you take your turn now? It might be best if I take a moment before trying again.£

    He watched her for a moment longer, lips scornfully pursed, before accepting the repeated apology and moving forward to take his position. Fingers found a tight grip on his own club, tested its aim alongside the ball elevated from the ground. And then he SWUNG. With nice form. A brilliant arc. A gaze alight with determination, eager to follow where the stroke had landed its prey.

    Only to peer down and see he had completely MISSED.

    Hesitating for only a second, the businessman regathered himself before pivoting to face his assistant. “There, see that? Perfect demonstration of the RIGHT kind of swing.” Varrick leaned his weight on his club, waved a hand to welcome Zhu Li to his side. “Come over here and have another go. I’ll show you up close and personal how it’s done.”

No longer paying any attention to her report that’s due soon, Kuvira dropped her pen onto her desk and letting it roll around on top of the table as she started to rub both side of her temples. Her glare didn’t lessen, instead it became more INTENSE by each and every passing second. “You still treat this as such.” She commented, folding her hands together at this point with her lips slightly pursed together. The concern he was projecting is new to her.

    She and Varrick WEREN’T close, not even during     his long and overbearing stay in Zaofu back when     she was Su’s little puppet captain to her security     guard force.

“I have enough of your nonsense, just spit it out and tell me what you want. You normally don’t come BARGING into my office worrying over me like an annoying mother hen.”

    Her patience, already thin and BRITTLE as it was, somehow weakened, increasingly bending on the verge of a SNAP that would send anyone else victim to her leer bolting to the nearest door. But he held fast, regarded her like one who seemed all but OBLIVIOUS to her anger despite noticing it within mere seconds of bothering her with his presence. She hadn’t always been like this, Varrick realized. Or certainly not to this EXTREME.

    No, they had never been close. Heck, she was a bit of a distant type from the start, even to those who cared most about her. To Suyin. At one point in time, however, Varrick swore it took a lot LESS to cause even the twitch of a smile on her lips.

    “‘Mother hen’? I can’t even take care of myself--ya think I’d try to MOTHER someone else?” He wrinkled his nose, waved a dismissive hand in a belated response to her initial order. “Zhu Li’s cleaning up my work space. You would not BELIEVE how disorganized that place gets--I can barely figure out where anything is anymore.” Of course, never would the inventor admit--or consciously realize--the fault rested on HIS shoulders in that case.

    “So, not much I can DO while she’s in my way, is there? I was trying this thing called ‘conversation.’ It can be entertaining once you get the hang of it.”

   “𝓤m– sure.” Opal gave a small nod. “But if someone has to create a gust of wind in front of the device, then wouldn’t it be pretty well useless considering you’d be able to see them create the gust? Also, if it tracked a bender from a vast distance, wouldn’t it of picked up on one by now?” She asked, looking down towards the device. It wasn’t too unusual looking, but she did have her doubts.

    OH--

    Almost EMBARRASSINGLY so, the inventor hadn’t quite gotten that far in his calculations. Rather, went TOO far before first taking the time to consider the functionality of his latest venture. For a series of long and quiet moments after the new airbender’s gentle skepticism, he managed nothing more than a long stare, appearing ANNOYED initially in the crease of his brows. But then his expression smoothed, and he hummed within a slow nod.

    “You MAY have a point, there.” Varrick SCRUTINIZED the device, turning it over a few times within his hands. “Well whatever, it was a prototype anyway. I’ll have Zhu Li look at it.” Without waiting for a response, he stowed it away, folded his arms while still considering the other. Swift in changing the subject, “So, ya ready for your big training gig with the MASTER himself?”

{ Apparently this time of year is just as busy in the work world as it is in school I thought I had escaped this end-of-the-year rush rip

So, I’ve had less motivation and time to be here--the past two days have ended in headaches and minimal brain activity to manage any real thought.

Thanks for your patience, all of you. I still plan on checking in when I feel up to it but drafts will be very slow.

    PERHAPS HIS EARS WERE JUST TRICKING HIM,     but Kai is almost CERTAIN  he sensed seriousness  in Varrick’s voice upon his claim of the master airbender not being as innocent as she looks.     ❝  Huh, you mean Jinora     ?         That’s kinda silly, y’know. ❞     A laugh escapes, his chest erupting in several jolts from the nervous chortling,     ❝  I mean, she can get a little crazy when her loved ones are in danger or something like that, but don’t we all ?  ❞

    “Well SURE, if you wanna call it crazy. Protective, maybe? That might fit better--careful what you call your girl behind her back. These women have eyes and ears EVERYWHERE.” He paused, then, lips tightening into a grim line as he took to sweeping his surroundings for any SIGN of the topic of discussion. Satisfied with the result, “But that’s not what I meant. What I MEAN is that she’s the oldest of three--wait, four, right?--siblings so she KNOWS how to wrangle people when she needs to. Don’t want to MESS with that. Yet you’ve got that handled like a CHAMP.”

A ship that travelled by sea is useless to him when he can certainly fly over any mountain with ease in his altenrate form or climb up a mountain, with the same amount of ease due to his enhanced body.

“As king as your offer is, I cannot accept   since I have no use for any sea faring ships   at all.”

    Vague as his suggestion had been, that played no hand in the way his lips pursed into a POUT, seemingly EXASPERATED at the minor misinterpretation of words that had already been unclear. “We’re not GOING anywhere.” He said this as though it was obvious.”At least not anytime SOON. Yeesh–I just got here. All I’m doing is offering you some FREE boarding and GOOD tea that you won’t find in an inn.”

The Legend of Pouting

It wasn’t like her at all to get so angry, so defensive. But she felt as though she was entrusted with some responsibility to care for the spirits since she had such a connection with them. It was really something to behold. No matter how much she would deny it, many consider her to be a bit of a legend in her own right, especially since she was able to best her grandfather in becoming the youngest airbending master in history.

Once Jinora heard Varrick’s intentions, her features softened, and her expression went from one of disgust to one of contemplation. She had no idea what exactly to tell him. He wanted to impress his wife. But it’s not like you could just draw a map of the spirit world. It was far more intricate than that.

“You would probably need to have some kind of a guide to help you, be that a human or a spirit.” Jinora could navigate quite well, but she understands how much that could be an issue. It would be like Kai taking her on a date and Ikki sticks around blathering in her ear. No thanks.

    “Yes! Exactly what I was thinking. See? We’re already on the SAME page, now.” Promptly, and as if the young bender hadn’t offended him mere seconds prior, his JOVIAL nature returned, face illuminated by a grin like an excited CHILD. Rather unlike Jinora, though, he had already seen well past the issue of what one would call a “third wheel.” In fact, without even first securing her ASSISTANCE, the eccentric man had plotted out nearly everything to minute details.

    He just had a knack for assuming his ideas would always WORK.

    “So here’s the plan–” Again, he moved in. Not quite as CLOSE as before, but enough so that it was almost as if they were exchanging a SECRET. “You take me into the spirit world first. Y’know, get me acquainted with where everything is, where to go, where NOT to go, make sure we won’t get KILLED–that whole deal. And then once that’s all taken care of, I can act as the guide we’ll be needing when I take Zhu Li.” He straightened up after the pitch, hands clasped in front of himself as if WITHHOLDING his enthusiasm.

    “What’d’ya say?”

THEY DID THE THING

   𝓞pal slightly jumped when she heard her name. She didn’t expect for anyone to be around. “Oh!” She turned around and a smile formed on her face as she lifted her hand for a return of a wave. “Hey, Varrick.” Lowering her hand she clasped both of them together in front of herself. “Thank you. I’ve been trying to figure out some stuff on my own. But I imagine it’s not as good as Master Tenzin. I can’t wait to begin training with him.” She said happily. But her expression faded a bit when Varrick asked if he could borrow her bending for a second. “What do you mean?”

    Greeted with a friendly smile by the young bender, the manner of his expression became for more pleasant, if not EXCITED the instant she prodded deeper into his inquiry. He straightened, rocking on his heels as if barely capable of quelling his fervor. “Don’t WORRY--it’s nothing bad.” Revealing a handheld device from behind his back, “I’m working on a thing for Korra right now: a little gift to help her hunt down all of those airbenders she’s looking for.” His brows lifted, lips parting to flash the whites of his teeth in a wider grin. “Think you can do one of those WHOOSH thingies into this? Help a guy out?”
