[ It's extremely rude to have a one armed boy send a text at this time of night...day...whatever. Because he's hearing this commotion go on next door and he just...sighs. ]
What the fuck is happening? I'm trying to read and I can hear your problems from here.
I think we've handled everything. The screaming stopped. Everyone's been defused.
For now.
Yeah, I don't know what there is to be stressed about. Couldn't tell you.
[ It's truly a pity that sarcasm doesn't translate well in text. Mako stares at that for a long moment, realizes how it looks, and then adds, because he's a dweeb: ]
Tell me about it. I figured when I got here I was either going to need to join a fight club to get more ration tickets or I was going to have to start collecting favours.
It's weird with just how giving people are.
But, I dunno, Mako. This is you talking here. Others accounts might be different.
It is. Korra explained it to me, once, but Korra's also used to people just giving her things. She doesn't think it's weird that nobody here is really looking for payment, or favors, or any of that stuff.
Me talking, sure, but also the physical evidence: I'm fine, and not sick. Physical evidence counts for a lot more than eyewitness testimony.
But, for the record? Fight clubs for ration tickets also isn't a normal society thing.
Exactly. Korra's been handed stuff her entire life. Of course she trusts people. It's a little more complicated than that, but she definitely has a rosy view of the world.

Someone better be dying for that much noise.
i'm dying
Nobody's dying
I'm still figuring out what all the yelling is about but if anyone tells you anything about living statues they're full of crap.
Sorry for the noise. Ruby finally met my brother, so.
no subject
Ah. Right. I forgot. The brother who doesn't follow instructions
and Ruby meeting him.
That explains it.
no subject
[ Pray4him, Glitch. ]
Yeah. It was a misunderstanding as far as I can tell. I think Ruby was peeking in our windows?
no subject
Did you have cookies left out or something?
[ There's only so much praying he can do with the force of nature known as Ruby, Mako. Only so much. ]
no subject
We have cupcakes. Wu's been stress-baking.
If you want any, they're yours. We have about 30.
no subject
Stress baking huh?
Gee. I wonder why?
It's not like the town is falling to pieces or anything.

For the record that was a joke.
no subject
Since, you know. Anything's possible in this hell scape.
But, all right. So long as there's not a giant worm attack I'll leave it to you.
no subject
How are you holding up? Been parented to death yet by anyone over there?

I don't know about you, but I find it hard. Wu says I'm a terrible patient. I just don't like sitting still and feeling that useless.
no subject
You? A terrible patient? Noooooooo...I would never have guessed.
That's sarcasm by the way.
no subject
Korra said I was being suspicious, but.
I think it's weird how willing everyone here is to look out for each other. No payment asked, nothing expected. That's weird.
Anyway, I'm fine now, so I can't have been that bad.

no subject
...Why do you gotta sound like a cop about being sick and injured? Sounds kind weird.
And Mako. That might not be your normal but it was mine.
no subject
I'm a cop. It's what I do.
I know. I'm just saying it's pretty messed-up.
no subject
Anyways, cop or not you need to rest. You're gonna be a pretty shitty cop if you drop dead from being sick. Lamest way to go really.
Yeah well, we can both agree on that at least.
no subject
I'm not gonna drop dead of being sick. I survived.

You too, Glitch. Take care of yourself, don't push it.
