top price sent you a message!

wow i can't believe they didn't make a single shark pun??? deerington really needs to pay me to write these for them if they're gonna slack like this

[helpdesk_hero]

ProdigalGenius sent you a flirt!

username sent you a message!

Surely it can’t be that complicated? Not that complicated is always bad. Sometimes it’s perfect for people good with their hands.

[ It takes Mako a solid half an hour to answer this, not because he was out scavenging or doing anything useful but because he was locating the manual and then furiously trying to delete first this nonsense and then the app itself.

He's never heard of mako sharks but he HAS been called shark-brows by multiple people. ]

Okay, two things:

1. If that was a comment about my eyebrows I have heard it before and it wasn't funny then either.

2. Where did this come from and how do I get rid of it forever?

[tagartist]

it wasn't, but i'm glad to know at least someone has made fun of you for this before. let me show you your namesake, he has The Void where his eyes should be

[ ATTACHED IMAGE: mako_shark.jpg ]

more importantly: you're stuck with it
thing can't be deleted even by the best hacker i know
it's deerington's gift to you to get you back on the dating horse or something

[bend_it_like]

bigdeal sent you a message!

gruff exterior??? who wrote this! you're like a squishy little jellyeel

[arclightning]

Trust Deerington to give shitty gifts. What if I don't want to be on the dating horse? Now is not the time for me to be on any kind of dating horse. The dating horse is a bad horse.

And that thing is exactly why I don't trust the ocean.

I'm really stuck with it, huh.

[arclightning]

[ Oh spirits.

It takes a while for Mako to respond.

First of all he has to press on the username to find out who this actually is, and then when he finds out he has to stare at it for a second with his face slowly going red.

Then he has to try and hide his Fluid from Korra, who is looking at it and snickering and telling him to flirt back, which isn't helpful at all, because Mako is currently very something. Just. Feeling a lot of things, about this message. David keeps doing this to him. ]

Trust me, it's exactly as complicated as this ridiculous thing made it sound. Even if I am good with my hands.

[tagartist]

awwww really?? and here i thought this place was like romance central. ik getting attacked by monsters on a regular basis is totally what oils my engine

DUDE RIGHT? FUCK THE SEA that shit is more terrifying than anything this place has come up with

welcome to the club ig

[arclightning]

For the record I didn't write this. Chloe told me that Deerington wrote it. And that it's permanent. Which is great.

I am nothing like a jellyeel.

[helpdesk_hero]

I’m really sorry it is. I’m just lucky mine hasn’t chosen to take this particular route of ‘annoying and far too accurate’. I tried to hack mine a few times and failed.

[arclightning]

Yeah, shockingly, near-constant death doesn't do anything for me. Maybe I'm the weird one.

Also just for the record horses aren't an animal where I'm from. We have ostrich-horses and that's it. Horses aren't real.

Maybe it's some kind of sick joke from the town. Can towns make jokes? This isn't a good joke.

[arclightning]

I looked at yours and

It could be a lot worse. I mean. It's not that bad. Bold. Or something like that.

[helpdesk_hero]

Bold in ways that I am definitely not. I have friends who would laugh themselves silly over that.

So at least yours is tame.

[arclightning]

Personally I find it weird that this town is so into our love lives that it has to write something like that.

And. That a town can write something about us in the first place, but that's... becoming more normal. Great.

What are the X-Men?

[bend_it_like]

you're exactly like a jellyeel

i dunno, aside from the gruff thing it's pretty accurate

[helpdesk_hero]

Between Pokémon, people from home, the hell life is right now, and everything else? This place owes us some laughs, if nothing else.

And they say mischief keeps you young at heart. Which is a good thing to be. Right up there with the ability to look good in a crevat.

Wow you really did look at mine. Oh geez. Uh, that’s a long and complicated question to answer. There are a few of them here in town but mostly they are adults from my world who have abilities from the same source as I do who fight for equality and freedom from racial oppression. Who are also idiots that are prone to jumping into bed together in ways that made me want to roll my eyes and also never need a sex ed class.

[tagartist]

totally the odd one out, maybe you should get help for that

ooooh yeah korra mentioned that. they're def for real here. we've got like 6 of them at my place if you wanna see one. mine's named tater tot and she's the best tbh

in this place? yes. sodder is the town and the town is sodder and her sense of humor is GARBAGE

[arclightning]

WHAT about that thing is accurate? I don't need a creepy town talking about my thighs, Korra, it's creepy.

[bend_it_like]

what, you have nice thighs. and you are sweet and awkward! I think they clocked you pretty well

1 / 2

[arclightning]

KORRA

2 / 2

[arclightning]

Where are you

[ He is coming to find you, Korra. ]

[bend_it_like]

nowhere

everywhere

you can't find me

[ she's actually in the backyard, trying to get naga to play, which is... hard. Since it's october. ]

[arclightning]

Finding people is my job, and also I can see you.

[ Giving into a childish, tired impulse, Mako heads into the backyard after checking first her room and then the kitchen.

Mostly so he can try to steal her Fluid while she's distracted with Naga. Mako can be very sneaky when he wants to be. ]

[bend_it_like]

Hey! [ Korra twists around, frowning at him. ] Way to be mature, Mako. Give it back.

[arclightning]

I appreciate that. Back home King Wu—I guarded him for a few years—used to tell me it wasn't "my look." Still not sure what he meant.

I SAID I did; did you think I was lying? When you put it that way, it actually sounds a lot like my world. Even the... bed. Part. Of it.
