[ BOLIN CAN'T ANSWER HIS... LOCKET... RIGHT NOW, I GUESS. Or he doesn't have anything to answer yet. Who knows. Who ever even knows. ]

Comments

voice; 6/14, early morning.

[sangilak]

[ she's not expecting bolin to answer this early, but leaving a message never hurt anyone.

even though there's a 110% chance he's going to hear it from mako, korra... wants to make sure she can deliver the message herself, too. ]

Hey... Bolin, I just wanna let you know that I'm gonna be [ ...??? in enemy territory?? ] ... out of town for a little while. Could you watch Naga for me?

voice; on a saner morning hour wow

[bolincredible]

[ Because he always thought he was safe from voluntary early-morning anything from Korra. Just goes to show what happens when a guy assumes. ]

Yeah, of course. Naga-watching is pretty much second nature for me. [ Like he'd even have to think about it. He's been missing his regular dosages of animal companionship, anyway. ] Is everything okay? Not that I'm worried, because you're a handling-yourself master who can handle... yourself. Just, you know.

[ And a pause.

...

Crap, he can't think of another word for "worried" on the spot. Crap crap crap. Why didn't he plan for this? Oh, right. Because he's him. ]

Uhhhh. Haha, wow, you know what, I guess worried was kind of. Kind of what I was going for after all. A little bit.

[ Like are you going to get amnesia and disappear again or is this like a friendly trip to the nearest cool meditation mountain....... ]

action; SOON AFTER KORRA CALLS

[jaywalks]

[ knock knock! better go get that doo— ah nevermind, mako's not gonna wait. please don't be jerking off, bolin. mako doesn't care how bad your morning wood is, this is more important. (and if you make a crack about him and blue balls he's going to shave your eyebrows in your sleep, bro.) ]

Hey, Bo...

action; SOUNDS LEGIT.

[bolincredible]

[ ugh mom you never wait for the okay this is why you know so much about my morning wood!!! And please don't shave the eyebrows, they're my legacy :'|

But nah, he's still about 1/4 asleep, digging around under the bed for his shoes, and moderately confused by everything that has happened since he woke up. Whoop. And maybe worried. And like, Naga probably needs to go out for a walk. Or to eat a small mammal or... something. That's usually sort of a thing she does. There really are more important things happening today. That said, he immediately scrambles back into the open for brotherhood's sake. ]

Hey, Mako. [ And there's some very genuine pep in there because YEAH, YOU'RE NOT IN A MAGICAL COMA AND THE EXCITEMENT STILL HASN'T WORN OFF, GOOD JOB BEING AWAKE. And good job not being mysteriously transported into monster territory? Yeah. He also tacks on (pointlessly but w/e): ] Come on in, I guess.

text; during redgate + event, after korra's text.

[jaywalks]

bo stop trying to steal silverware while you're out there, there'll be plenty here when you get back.

[ mako how'd u kno are you psychic ]

text; during redgate + event;

[bolincredible]

[ first, a loooong pause. ]

what?

8/12; after bolin's talked to tarrlok.

[sangilak]

[ idk where they are or why korra has to text bolin but hey maybe they got separated in the township or maybe korra just likes texting bolin while he sits across the room. ]

Bolin.

8/12; excellent

[bolincredible]

[ doesn't even matter, he's on board for it either way. ]

oh hey korra

you knew this was coming: after the feast with unseelie.

[sangilak]

[ it's not a new phenomenon, korra needing to calm her shit down, but right now she's like a ravenous tigerdillo and were her bending not sealed off by the blood granite surrounding her it's obvious that smoke and flame would be billowing from her nostrils right now.

but even without her bending, korra is a force to be reckoned with, and after she's given her dinner ample time to digest she finds her way to bolin's suite, pounding on the door. ]

Bolin! Bolin, get up!

yeeeees

[bolincredible]

I'm here, hang on! [ Ah, the dulcet tones of the furious Korra.

He guesses it's not the most surprising turn of the evening. Bolin opens the door in good time and is probably kinda hoping no one died in the past couple of hours or something. Been a wacky night like that. ]

Okay, I'm- right, what's wrong?

8/19;

[jaywalks]

[ new message for you, bolin! ]

8/20;

[jaywalks]

hey, routine check in. [ THAT'S RIGHT, COP TALK... SORTA ] be careful bro.

dragon introduction;

[jaywalks]

[ just before they leave for the station, mako has important shit to do — whatever you're doing bro, mako's interrupting, doll sitting on his shoulder. ]

Hey, Bo?

dragon introduction;

[bolincredible]

[ It's cool, bro, he's just getting shit together to chuck onto the bison. At this rate, Appa's gonna turn into his best friend in the universe from sheer bonding time. ]

What's up?

[brainiest]

Harry says the contracts that were out on you and John are over. Alyosha is dead and traded her husband's shard for your lives. Reynard the fox is out to collect shards and we need to be careful. Can you make sure Mako and Korra know and keep everyone safe? Please.

[bolincredible]

[ It's... a fair while before Bolin replies. Which probably has to do with the way he got up to "Alyosha is dead" and shut off his locket for a while. He doesn't want to read the rest. He regrets reading what he did, frankly. If he doesn't read it, he doesn't have to know.

He's pretty selfish like that, he guesses.

But get there Bolin does, eventually. Because it would probably be rude not to give an affirmative. And because now that he knows, he feels like he needs to know the rest anyway. (He didn't even know someone had contracts out on him and John.) ]

yeah thanks

[ ur a bro hermione ]

early 10/4; action;

[bolincredible]

[ To all good sudden hiatuses into the woods there must come an end, and that end came upon Bolin today. Or technically at some point yesterday, when he realized that being out in the middle of nowhere sort of tapped itself out on helping him feel any better. Maybe it was mostly having John around that helped after all, and traveling alone is still terrible.

Not that Pabu wasn't helping, but it's the spirit of the thing. He still feels at least a little better for going, so he'll count it for some kind of a win.

And..... yeah, okay, heading out like that without passing the message on first was probably super irresponsible and a bad choice or something. If he thinks about it. Not the smartest move. Anyway he's just going to be trudging back into Korra's rooms and kicking his shoes off like a responsible adult person. Yo. ]

Hey, anyone home?

early 10/4; action;

[sangilak]

[ the only answer is a sudden barreling forward one one (1) avatar upon hearing bolin's voice, and seconds later she crashes into him, strong arms wrapping around his shoulders in a tight hug. ]

Don't ever do that again, Bolin. [ despite the scolding nature of her words, korra's tone speaks more of concern and fright than actual anger. a vague note was enough to assuage any worry she might have had about bolin straight-up disappearing from the world, but knowing that he was off... somewhere, likely alone, able to fend for himself but probably not really survive... it preyed on her mind.

she always wants to make sure her friends are okay. their well-being will always fit itself at the forefront of her mind. ]

10/14; im so sorry

[sangilak]

Did you get hit in the head with a rock?

10/14; so, so sorry.

[sangilak]

And did you keep your helmet on?

10/14;

[jaywalks]

go find hermione and hold her hand, concussion face

not here;

[sangilak]

[ this is all your fault, she can't take you anywhere. ]

[playmakings]

[ The moment Bolin wakes up, a fairy will deliver a small box containing a few homemade bags of tea and a handwritten note: ]


❤Bolin❤
I'm still really sorry about your foot, even if you're over it. I've taken the liberty of getting tea for you. I tried to make sure it really captures your personality! I hope you like it.
♬Kelsi Nielson

P.S. I'm still really really sorry☻

call » 21/11

[atoned]

[ before zuko properly dons the blue spirit mask and teleports back to where he had been along the road near redgate, he decides to give bolin a call. the last few hours have been incredibly rushed and overwhelming to the point where zuko wonders if all the loose ends have been tied. has bolin been told to expect zuko? has he been told to bend a tent and wait for him to appear in flame so they can hold hands and subsequently each other when coming face to face with redgate? ]

[ ring, ring, earthfucker. ]

call » 21/11

[bolincredible]

[ Well, Bolin's got nothing but walking going on right now. He guesses he could have put his armor back on and put a fairy ring closer to the blood granite limit and everything, but then it just seems wrong to have a ton of fairy rings splashed all over the place on the same road... a few hours is a few hours. Hopefully it doesn't make a bad difference in the end.

So he picks up pretty fast. ]

Hello?

text; private

[chromosomes]

[ after this thread ]

She's alive. Don't say her name, but you know who I mean. She's alive, Bolin.

text; private

[bolincredible]

[ There's a significant pause before Bolin's reply rolls in. Either because he's taking a minute to be super relieved that John also knows this information, or because it's new information and he has to find a chair really quick, but the result's pretty much the same and all anyway. ]

im not gonna lie john this is a real first for me. [ people dying kind of tends to be a permanent deal. But more or less immediately after that text goes through, he's sending another: ]

is she okay
have you heard from her

12/15.

[jaywalks]

bo what minor injuries have you sustained recently?

[ totally innocent question, amirite? ]

12/15.

[bolincredible]

[ super innocent. so innocent that bolin is totally not at all mildly worried or suspicious. so after a brief pause: ]

why

[ is it a trick question are you going to yell at me ]

audio;

[chromosomes]

Want to go to a party with me? You can bring Pabu.

audio;

[bolincredible]

Sure, sounds like fun! I know Pabu loves a good shindig. [ Bolin "agrees without asking followup questions every time" Earthbender. ] People have been pretty big on throwing parties the last couple of months here, huh?

[fairyfoes]

[ Delivered in a fine letter the morning of Yule, alongside a sprig of holly ]

Dear Bolin,

I informed John Grimm that he had full authority to disclose that I'm indeed alive; I hope you can forgive that I'm confirming it through a letter. But I dearly desire that you know what an impact you had upon me in the short time of acquaintance. You're a stalwart, good-hearted young man, and you'd be shocked to know how few of those there are in the world. I have been proud to know you, and prouder still to have the opportunity to name you a champion of my city.

Would you be at all interested in going on a winter roadtrip, heading out on the 4th? Just for a short few days. I’ve invited yourself, Harry Potter, John Grimm, and my daughter. It feels strange to write that last, but... the drabwurld is nothing but strange. I'll save elaborations for when I've the opportunity to see you again with my own two eyes.

No business. That’s an order. Just goofing off. Camp cooking. Snowball fights. All the best parts of camping and hopefully none of the worst.

I figured it’d be a worthy Yule present for all of us.

With love, and only the best of wishes,
Alyosha Hazan

when they leave for elf party...

[chromosomes]

[ ... John will slip Bolin a few things: a set of dog tags with his name (in Drabbish, English, and Chinese characters) and a smaller matching set for Pabu; a folding flint striker/knife; and a small bag of treats for Pabu.

26th.

[brainiest]

[ Much like a few others, Hermione has asked the faeries to help her with delivering her presents. On the early morning of the 26th a small vial of potion will be left, a chain around it, with a small note; Just in case I'm not there. Bolin will also find a small bag with a charm upon it, with a note explaining it, and some treats for his budding zoo c: ]

drive-by action » 23/12

[atoned]

[ on the evening of the twenty-third, bolin and pabu will find two steaming cups of lavender tea outside their door with a twig left on the saucer of the smaller one. one cup is slightly bigger than the other, as zuko didn't think pabu had the same big appetite as bolin may have. with a pair of black motorcycle gloves only for bolin, as the tea may be a little too hot, zuko's left a small red scarf for pabu to wrap around his neck. ]

drive-by action » 24/12

[marred]

[ on christmas even, bolin will find a stone turned to gold with snake marks embedded into it, a copy of charlie and the chocolate factory by roald dahl with notes from luke written all over the pages, and a bottle of jack daniels in a cane basket outside his door. there'll be a note taped to the bottle: Thanks, man. he's been a friend when he never owed him luke that much. ]

christmas, 2701

[brainiest]

[ Much like her other friends, the box that Hermione sends has a charmed cloak, a charmed bag and set of potions to offer protection.

Bolin also receives Hermione's broomstick, one that will let him fly (she had it from Ron and she isn't going to touch it, better to give it to someone that will use it!), a set of christmas crackers as well as a small dragon, made just for him. It actually flies! ]

text; compasses.

[brainiest]

Hey, Bolin. You know how I completely admire your Earthbending and think it's absolutely incredible...

text; compasses.

[bolincredible]

Oh I never forget praise. What's up?

VOICE - COMPASS; JANURARY OF TIMESKIP.

[jaywalks]

[ the most furious toddler ever is calling your compass, bolin ]

Uncle Bo, where are you!? You keep missing dinner! And breakfasts! I need to show you something, it's important.

[ >:'c!!!! ]
