[ It took some real doing to finally get Korra alone for another go-round of Republic City. Which Bolin guesses he can understand. Between Avatar duties and saving the world and the general craziness that life keeps tossing around anymore, it's fair that a couple of people might not be able to get together.

Not like together, together, just... together. Sharing a vicinity and having fun with the coolest, toughest, most talented, buffest, beautiful girl in the known universe, and not thinking too much about it. Or. Or something like that? He's gotten really good at not thinking about it, actually, out of sheer necessity. Because it's not like just being friends with Korra isn't incredible! If there's anything Bolin can say he knows he's made for, it's making the best of what he has, and what he has is more friends than he's ever had before. And it's nice.

And he can be fine with that.

He's just glad he could arrange this at all. They had that sort of date situation, however long ago, and that included good food and great views, but it was sort of supposed to be a two-parter situation. Korra never really did get a chance to look around the entire city, never seems to have chances for that kind of stuff at all. Bolin's always happy to help give someone a break. Especially when there's a killer little place to do it a little ways outside of the city proper, all trees and ocean view and grass. He hasn't been up this way in a while. So it's like it's doubly nice to get back to it. Bolin kicks a pebble along the trail as they go and figures he won't try looking a gift ostrich-horse in the beak. ]

You picked a really great day to come by some free time! Mostly because if the weather was bad right now, I'd have zero backup plans for us. And who wants to waste a perfectly good day off on not knowing what to do, right?

give me bolin because cute

[amplified]

( lydia is mesmerized by the sheer force he seems to be able to harness. she still doesn't quite understand how it works. it's definitely not science, but he said it's not really magic, either. either way... it's improbable, and yet here he is. rocks. dirt. earth in general. he lifts them and tosses them about and creates things from them like it is no more difficult than a simple second nature. she watches him for a few minutes, her head tilting further and further to the side as she just tries to figure out how the physics even make sense at all - which, by the way, they do not - before she speaks up again. )

And what did you say they call it again? Bending?

yes grand

[bolincredible]

Yeah, that's right! [ Bolin's never been all that great for an explanation on most any front as it stands. The weird not-science, not-magic, spiritual energy thing made it nigh impossible. Especially for something he's just been able to do most of his life. He flattens a decent-sized rock between his palms, pulls them back apart and elongates it again. ]

You know, you've got your basic earth, fire, water, or air, just kind of depending on what your family can do and where they're from. Unless you're the Avatar, because then you can bend all four elements at once, no problem.

good. all the beautiful facial expressions.

[amplified]

And this is an ability you're born with? ( she's actually taking notes between watching him. it's fascinating. there may be sketches along with it. possibly. he's intriguing and not hard to draw and not bad to draw, either. lydia's eyes stay on the rock, and she's genuinely mesmerized by how he manages to expand and contract it... like it's so easy. )

How long did it take you to learn that kind of control?

[profiteers]

I think someone tried to make a huge bowl of ramen in my bathtub. There's noodles everywhere in my bathroom.

[bolincredible]

oh man im kind of jealous

are you sure it wasnt you though?

[profiteers]

with 96% accuracy I can say it wasn't me.

That one AU where Bolin and Korra have time to learn their new bending skills.

[alphatar]

[and end up getting shipped because their significant others aren't there? It's an AU, idk. It's 4am. You're always free to say no.]

[With the other half of Team Avatar heading back to Republic City, Mako called in by Lin and Asami having to see to Future Industries, Korra opted to stay behind in Zaofu along with Bolin. The metal city was ideal for her to pick up her metalbending again, that and Bolin had plenty of earth to practice his lavabending in and out of the city. That and Korra was kicked out of Republic City by President Raiko.

The awkward vibe she was getting from Mako had been weighing down on her while he was there. Without Asami to talk to about it, she found Bolin before Suyin would send a guard to notify them when dinner would be ready.]

Hey, how's your first half day with it just being us in this place? [She put her hands on the belt around her waist that housed her metal cables.] Less pressure?

[Both from Mako pushing a little too hard for his brother to improve his skill and from possibly messing up from noticing Opal was watching him.]

yES let's make it happen

[bolincredible]

You know, I think so! I haven't wrecked any buildings or melted anybody... it's nice! [ Especially on the Mako front. Not that he can't understand why it's really important to learn to control... deadly face-melting molten earth. Or anything. Like, it's kind of an important thing to learn. He gets it.

But Mako's always been a little heavy-handed when it comes to life-threatening worries. It's hard to push your limits when he's pretty sure the limit will burn your arm off or something. Annnd when you don't want to burn your arm off or something in front of a really great girl who hasn't seen you completely mess something up yet. It's a hard-knock life. ]

How about you? I mean, I know you're kind of a natural at metalbending and you've been practicing, annnd we're. You know, right here in the middle of the metalbending capital of the world and stuff, but. Yeah. How's it going?

[alphatar]

Kind of nice actually! Not having anything melt down has been a big help. [She grins and pats the circular canisters of metal cables on her hips.] I can’t wait to be able to use these things everywhere instead of only in the practice area. Pretty sure Wing is too, and not just to have someone else to play power disc with.

[Poor guy’s probably not used to having a novice metalbender wipe the floor with him.]

Hey. If you really want to cut loose, maybe Suyin will let us take Naga out to the mountains. [She gives Bolin a quirky half smile.] As long as you don’t turn it into a volcano or anything.

Dumb wood times for these dick faces

[profiteers]

[igneous]

[ So hey, fun fact.

Bolin is absolutely, without a doubt, one hundred percent city boy. And furthermore, it turns out that spending a good chunk of your childhood living on the streets with your brother... doesn't actually prepare you for trekking through the wilderness with maybe the only person you've ever met in your life who is more of a city boy than you. Not at all.

He's dirty, he looks awful, he probably has like ten bug bites, they are miles and miles and miles out of the way of any apparent civilization, Kuvira's crazy and working on a super dangerous, deadly weapon of horrible mass destruction and nobody's around to tell about it, and the last time he saw Mako and Opal he pretty much just argued with them and defended a horrible dictator who sends people to prison camps and makes entire towns of people into slaves after she feeds them.

Also, the metal on these shoulderpads gets unfairly hot in the sun.

This is terrible and it's taking forever and the longer it takes, the closer Kuvira gets to pretty much taking over the world Ozai-style.

... it's been a really crazy couple of days, looking back.

They're sort of getting settled in for the upcoming night, or as much as they tend to be able to, all things considered, and Bolin figures he's not as mad about the explosion thing as he was yesterday. That's emotional progress, right? So it makes the traveling progress even better or something.

He doesn't know. Thinking is hard when you're hungry and you keep having to carry a grown man around. Just goes to figure.

At least keeping warm isn't a huge problem.

Still though. Hope you're not using that part of the ground, because he's flopping down on it and making a tiny Bolin-shaped crater just because he can. Man. Maybe he'll just tunnel down through the earth and magically resurface in Republic City. That would be awesome. ]

Do people really do this kind of stuff for fun? Like, anywhere?

[profiteers]

[Spirits, Bolin, give a man a little warning before you go tunneling into the earth like a perturbed badger-mole. Varrick had only just flopped onto his back, content to not move for a few days yet before he's hit with Bolin's rock-wake. He gives a little startled yelp and only just manages to roll out of the way. Yep, you're getting glared at, Bolin, he doesn't care if you were on piggy-back duty with minimal complaint today.]

Would you watch it, kid, I didn't get both our handsome butts off that train to end up squashed in the middle of nowhere.

[Time for flopping onto his back again, kthnx. He still had to do some walking today, and he's just not built for this kind of long-term exerciser. He's a natural sprinter, okay, not a marathoner.]

The hell if I know, I grew up in the South Pole, remember. My entire life's goal was to get the hell out of nature as soon as I could.

[braavado]

bolin i swear if you ate the two ice cream snickers bars in the fridge i am revoking your bff status forever

[text]

[bolincredible]

define "forever" if i was planning to find the right vending machine and replace them before you noticed

[text]

[braavado]

[Here, Bolin, enjoy the link that she texts back, because that's all the answer you'll get.]

[ blonk

Perhaps a touch too sober for a Varrick shindig yeah. He shrugs. ]

Nnnnno. Not usually. It's just what I figure would make a bad party.

[profiteers]

Okay, so, no yacht fights. And you met a wooden handed guy. Seems like a great evening. So why the sour puss expression.

[If he eats more crackers will you be happy then?]

au where bolin,ed and pabu live in a van and solve mysteries with the power of science and dumb luck

[equivalences]

i'll start it if you want ...

2 late i started it

[bolincredible]

[ You know how you know a case is going to be 2spooky and probably a pain in the ass from start to finish?

When Bolin parks the van outside of the big, dark, creepy house they're supposed to be investigating and then doesn't even unbuckle his seatbelt. Like he just keeps his hands white-knuckled on the steering wheel and stares up at the front entrance, while Pabu hops right on out of his jacket and scratches at the windshield a little trying to get started.

If he weren't still hovering in his seat like the wariest of animals, Bolin would probably already be trying to crowd in closer to Ed, and Ed's mental shield of logic and science.

Because this mansion looks hella haunted. ]

Uh. So we're, like. We're absolutely positive this is the place? Because the pictures looked pretty different! And way less terrifying. [ Probably because they were taken in the daylight. Go figure. ] I bet there's nothing wrong with checking the neighborhood out again just in case.

[equivalences]

we're having fuck for dinner tonight

[ autocorrect is a champion ]

[bolincredible]

[ LONG PAUSE... ]

how?

[ Ed he loves you but dinner is super important? Don't take it so lightly wow. ]

Hello I was promised a weirdly personal hug

[charlastan]

every soos hug is weirdly personal

[doods]

[ So just about everything that the end of the world wrecked got a fast reverse when the rift closed, good as new except for some graffiti here and there... well, and a lot of ransacked pantries. Couple of junked cars. Giant mecha parts. People who are mentally scarred. Regular Gravity Falls stuff.

Soos is still a handyman by choice, apocalypse or technically non-operating Mystery Shack or otherwise, so he doesn't have a ton of trouble diving back into his niche. And the fact that the two most important things to repair happen to be going hand-in-hand-- well, it's good luck in that he gets to spend time where he wants to be for most of the day.

It's less great when Soos factors in that the only thing he knows he can help with is the Shack itself. He's been trying to give the Pines their space to work on stuff, Stan's memory-wise: as much as being around every day and talking to them can count as space. On the Stan front, of course, it might actually count as a considerable giving of space.

He's always more than happy to see him and talk to him, but between reconstruction and party-planning efforts taking a lot of doing, and not wanting to take up a ton of first-come, first-served recollection slots? Might be better not to throw too much at him. He's probably got a ton left to remember about the Shack and about Soos working there, but it seems kinda rude to try deliberately digging into it when there are only a few days left until the twins leave.

Gravity Falls will still be here when they head back to California. Soos will still be here. It's no big deal. Anyway, Stan remembered his name first after Waddles, and that means so much on its own.

So he puts mints in diet soda with Dipper and Mabel. He hugs his grandma. Emails Melody so she knows that everyone almost died but totally didn't. He helps take apart the Shacktron, so they can put as much as possible back where it belongs. The kinds of things that he'd normally want to get in on, because the chaos demon is done with and Stan won't be a complete amnesiac forever: and Soos has never needed much to be content.

Today's not an exception in that regard so far. Soos is basically bursting through the door and into the house like a man who just achieved his life's greatest success. ]

Guys, I finally found the Rock That Looks Like a Face! That's gotta be like, attraction bingo!

[ ...hm.

A suspicious lack of answering guys? But, on the other hand, there's at least still a guy. Arguably the best of all the guys. ]

Hey, Mister Pines! How's it hangin'?
