Who: Bolin and YOU?!!??!
Where: All over the place.
When: Throughout the sickness event.
Rating Most likely will stay PG.
What: A large former-rock boy gets his bearings then becomes miserably sick. Special appearance by a small ferret.
THE WHERE-AM-I, WHAT-IS-THIS PROMPT (BEFORE SICKNESS):
[ He barely had a chance to speak to Astoria before the mysterious woman seemed to whisk herself away, off to handle some other matter of grave importance. Now, Bolin's definitely not opposed to helping some people out, but this might be the worst time to pull him. As far as he knows, his hometown is going to be destroyed by the work of a scary, domineering and possibly-insane tyrant if he doesn't get a message across in time. There is no time, and he would love to help these people out later, but he has to go home immediately!
Pabu being with him for some reason is really great and quells some of his anxiety but it's not nearly enough to put him at ease. So, he's chasing the misty servants around, trying to get one of them to speak to him. ] Wait! Just listen to me! I cannot be here! [ They seem to do a great job at evading him, phasing right through him when he tries to touch them. He spots one phase right into a door, and Bolin slams open that door. ] PLEASE!
[ It's the door to the bath? Sorry if anyone was taking a soak in there. The where-am-I prompt is now also the suddenly-naked prompt. Just pulling out all the classics. ]
THE SICK BOI PROMPT (WEEK ONE):
[ Despite how little mind Bolin seems to actively pay to his own health, he's actually the sort who doesn't get sick easily. Toughing it out on the streets as a child must have built one very strong immune system, able to take on anything. So, it's rare for him to get the flu. It's an especially bad flu too. He's sniffing constantly, and his mind is all a-fog. Even Pabu seems concerned about him, but there's nothing the little guy can really do but poke his nose in Bolin's face. ] Okay, Pabu, I know we never trained for this, but I know you're smart. [ Loud sniff. ]
Do you know what tissues are? Do you think you can find me s-s-s'ACHOO!!
[ And at once, a huge gust of wind passes by, triggered by his sneeze. Bolin's an Airbender now, apparently, and he knows nothing at all about how to be one. Two things can happen now:
1. His gust of wind is strong enough to knock your character off their feet, along with many other miscellaneous items, probably. Sorry about that. Or ...
2. His gust of wind blows his beloved fire ferret way, way up into the sky, where he lands on a ledge, barely hanging onto ... life. Sorry, Pabu. ]
STILL THE SICK BOI PROMPT (WEEK THREE):
[ And now he's slowly going blind? Hey, what the f#$% (censored because he's a nick toon). A few days into the week and Bolin's vision seems to have blurred to the point where he can make out the vague shape of things in his surroundings, but he's lost on the details. This means it's very hard for him to tell people apart until they start to speak. When he comes across a person somewhat shorter than him, who has more of a feminine build (they may or may not actually be a girl), he's quick to rush up to them and hold their face affectionately. ]
... Opal? [ No ...... ]

[ OOC: yeah honestly i'm up for anything ... if anybody wants me to write a starter, give me an emoji and i'll try to ... write a prompt based on it. ]

2.1
[aaand here's Akira, with an armful of blankets and pillows ready to scatter around the hallways of the temple, totally being blown off of his feet and into a wall!]
[. . .]
[nope, that's a lie. he's being blown off of his feet and right through a wall. because as soon as his back hits the stone, his handy dandy intangibility skill kicks in, which means he's phasing through the barrier like it isn't even there and disappearing into the room beyond]
[at least he left the pillows and blankets behind]
1/3
no subject
No, I asked for tissues. We're going to have to work on this later. Anyway, focus, buddy, that's not important now!
no subject
Do you think [ And he gives Pabu the most intense look. ] my Airbending -- sent him into the Spirit World?!
no subject
[Akira's head pops out of the wall. his ghostly head. his very intangible head. and only his head. this is not at all spooky and creepy!!]
Hey. . .
[Bolin gets a bleary look]
That was rude.
no subject
You're back! Or at least ... one part of you? Just the head. Only your head's back.
[ Akira please stop that, it looks SO CREEPY. ]
no subject
Oh god damn it, not again.
no subject
Akira sure is taking a while to phase back out though. ] Umm. [ Should he say something? Help out somehow? ] Are you stuck?
no subject
[j-just a little bit?? why does he sound so nonchalant about this]
Give it a few minutes. It'll take care of itself.
no subject
Will it help if I pull you? [ He'll do that? Bolin grabs hold of Akira's torso, tugging him. ]
no subject
Wait, don't do that. . .! It'll just hurt!
[his foot is really stuck]
no subject
[ He wants to give it a try, at least. You never know. Sorry Akira, but he's going to grab hold of your waist and start tugging. It's easy to do, too, because Akira's so scrawny. ]
no subject
[-- work]
[and it's true, mere tugging wouldn't have worked at all. but because it's funny, it's at this point that Akira's intangibility glitches into existence again, right as Bolin is trying to yank him free]
[GOOD NEWS: his foot is now freed from the wall! BAD NEWS: . . . depending on how hard Bolin was yanking, the two of them may go flying back]
no subject
See? It worked! Sometimes, you gotta put a little muscle into it. [ He says like he's a big tough guy when he really ... is not. He gets pushed around all the time by people smaller than him. ]
But wow -- That power of yours is really awesome!
no subject
If you say so. . .
[he says, knowing that it was just dumb luck that saw him freed]
And it would be a lot cooler if I could control it.
no subject
[ That sneeze just now, though? That's hardly Earthbending. He kind of lost that, and when he's reminded, his expression becomes slightly more dejected. ] I mean -- I was an Earthbender.
no subject
Yeah, that happens.
[standing up now, dusting off his jacket and immediately covering his mouth with a hand to stifle a cough]
Astoria gives everyone a new ability to make up for the fact that we can't use our old ones, here.
no subject
[ Even if she did kidnap them, she was nice enough to give them bending. Bolin really doesn't know what he'd do if he couldn't bend.]
So you weren't always a ... ghostbender? [ Is that what it is? ]
no subject
[Akira don't know, but guess what, he's rolling with it]
Yep. Ever since I was a little kid, and I first discovered my connection to the spiritual world.
[. . . maybe a little too much]
no subject
Wow. Then you've got to meet Korra. She's the Avatar, you know? Kind of a huge deal, she was the bridge between the spirit world and the physical one!
[ There's a little twinkle in his eye as he talks about his friend. It's clear that he has a lot of platonic love for them. ] So us humans, and those spirits, apparently we get on each other's nerves a lot? And Korra's the one who mediates! You two will have lots to talk about.
no subject
Oh. Sure. I don't mind going on a spirit date with this Avatar.
[he has no idea what the Avatar does other than handle mediation between humans and spirits but SURE, WHY THE FUCK NOT??]
Maybe I can file a few official complaints with them in the process.
1/2
no subject
Hold on, you mean a mystical spiritual journey, right? And not a date-date?
[ He doesn't know what kind of person Akira is. They could be a playboy?? Bolin doesn't want Korra thinking he went out and set her up with random guys. Especially not since Korra and Mako are living together and he has this biting feeling things might get weird. ]
no subject
Pretty sure my girlfriend would be mad at me if I went on a date-date with someone else, so.
[don't worry Bolin, he is not here to romance the Avatar. or. . . go on a mystical spiritual journey with her considering he is not of the spirit world at all, but that is neither here nor there]
no subject
Oh? Your girlfriend's here with you? [ He's always excited to hear about YOUNG LOVE. ]
