Her hair's insured for 10,000 yuans.

[It has (probably) been said that Asami Sato is incapable of anything less than perfect dignity and poise. She lives up to this, as she settles at the gazebo on Air Temple Island, followed by a small army of turtleducks. She's not so great with kids, but this, she can manage. She's on her way home from the office, and there are some items of potential interest laid off to the side where she's seated. Namely, preliminary blueprints for the reconstruction of the city roads. They have to work around the spirits somehow.]

a) [If you stop by, you could find her gently patting their heads and feeding them breadcrumbs.]

b) [There are moments, however, when she is, indeed, not a beautiful, prissy, elegant rich girl.]

AAAaaAAHH-

[Dangling from her hair, in that spot she just can't reach, (you know the one, Varrick) is a turtleduck who got a little too excited about feeding time. And she could really use some help with it, right about now. Or, you could sit back and enjoy the resulting dance as she tries NOT to panic.

Spoilers, she's kind of panicking.]
streetferret: (Surprised: Socked)

B, because.

[Another report of turtle ducks, this time on Air Temple Island. When will citizens realize that the police department is not animal contr-

He knows that yell...]


Asami! [That's a lot less threatening than he's expecting, but still he knows what to do.]

Don't panic. [So helpful.

But he does try to gets his hands on the turtle duck without hurting either it or her.]
streetferret: (Keep your shit in check.)

[He actually pauses for a full picosecond at the sass.]

Give me a second! It keeps- wiggling and

[Yes, his fingers get locked in hers and some hair for a second. He's wearing his gloves along with his uniform, but he lets go to unloop some of her hair that's around the animal's neck.]

Let me handle it!

[They've been here for all of eight seconds and "The Turtle Duck Crisis" at the end of the year is going into full swing.]
streetferret: (Serious: Save it.)

[personal profile] streetferret 2014-12-26 03:08 am (UTC)(link)
[Still struggling though.

Asami, why...?]


I will when you let me. [But it's not even angry, just exasperated. Instead he focuses on the turtle duck and disentangling it from her hair.]

Hang on, little guy. Almost there. [Then louder.] Try putting your hair up, he's trying to climb down and making it worse.

[And it'll keep her hands away from him and the small animal.]
streetferret: (Oh wow you're serious.)

[The muffled quacking becomes clear as he gets hair out of it's mouth.]

Situation's almost under control. [Because he's in his uniform. Has to sound professional.

The webbed feet on her neck leave and Mako successfully gets it loose, though a hair or two is tugged in the process.]


Looks a lot better. [Her hair being up or the "situation"?

He's holding the feisty shelled duck in his hands.]
streetferret: (Serious: But do they have puppies)

[personal profile] streetferret 2014-12-26 03:46 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, it was nothing.

[Bullshark, but he's not going to make a big deal out of it.]

Glad you're okay. I don't suppose you know why there's turtle ducks here too? [The turtle duck scampers out of his hands to get at what's left of the food.]
streetferret: (Mayyybe?)

[personal profile] streetferret 2014-12-26 04:17 am (UTC)(link)
You're telling me, and I'm in the police department.

[And the important question that's supposed to come next get pushed to the side for the moment.]

What are you working on? [Those are definitely blueprints.]

[personal profile] streetferret 2014-12-26 04:47 am (UTC)(link)
I'm sure you'll do fine. I bet Korra can help you with the spirits.

[Background support.]

Speaking of which, have you seen her? I was thinking she might be able to ask the spirits what's with the turtle ducks showing up.

...and all the other crazy stuff that's coming across my desk.
streetferret: (That wasn't me.)

[personal profile] streetferret 2014-12-28 01:05 am (UTC)(link)
[Distracted...

Asami, pls.]


That contract was most likely going to either you or Varrick. [Mako gives a minor sour look when saying the guy's name. Yeha, he's still not completely over being framed.] I'm glad you got it.

[Even if it means a turtle duck in her hair.]

...any chance of my apartment getting bumped up on the rebuild list? [He's actually joking. For once.]
streetferret: (Unsure: Headscratch)

[personal profile] streetferret 2014-12-30 12:54 am (UTC)(link)
Well,

[ C.) All the above. ]

my first apartment got the vine treatment. When the portals to the Fire Nation appeared the triads bombed multiple buildings; mine was one of the them...

[Trailing off because he doesn't want to say where he's been staying since it was so popular last time.]
streetferret: (Serious: Alone)

[personal profile] streetferret 2014-12-31 06:25 am (UTC)(link)
[Can this feel any more humiliating? No, wait. He takes that question back.

He did get himself into this after all.]


...where I was sleeping before.

[Starts with office and ends with desk.]
streetferret: (Well that's cool too.)

[personal profile] streetferret 2015-01-01 01:42 am (UTC)(link)
I know.

[Not exactly an answer.]

I just, need time to actually look for a palce. With the city like this I've been working a lot of overtime.
streetferret: (I'm not entering the Spirit World.)

[personal profile] streetferret 2015-01-02 06:07 pm (UTC)(link)
[He's getting there. just give him three more years.]

I- [Dammit, he can't think of a way to not impose. SEND HELP.]

Thanks. [It's sincere and his expressions softens, almost as if he's hurt but the wan smile keeps it from being such.] When I'm not working around the clock, I'll see about getting by bag packed.

[Bag. One. Uno.

Fires suck, and that's according to a firebender.]
streetferret: (I think the stove's still on.)

[He'll have you know he's a fully grown adult now. one day he'll realize he's 19 and not 35

The angst tho...]


If she ever shows up. I'm trying to keep the departments together until that happens.
