The White Swanfish Gala (Open to All, including party-crashers)

[creepycyclops]

The White Swanfish Gala is this evening - A VIP-only event where invitations are only sent to the likes of the heads of industry, Mover stars, avatars, and their guests. The host is Wil Zan (Slade's affable civilian alter ego), and he is dressed in a fine white and blue silk nehru, smiling broadly and chatting with what seems like every patron there, one at a time. He has brought in the finest chefs to provide an unlimited stream of fine food and drink, popular musicians provide entertainment and lively music to dance to, and this gala is sure to be an event worth talking about for years.

Interestingly, Zan has set up some rather unusual security measures. Though your average riff-raff will be kept out, he has intentionally left strategic security gaps that can be bypassed by the bold and the cunning. Zan actually has men covertly watching these gaps, but instead of stopping these party-crashers, their instructions are to inform Zan. (This serves as a sort of test for potential apprentices that Slade may try to recruit in the future.)

((NOTE: This is an event log, so not every reply has to be toward Slade. Feel free to write what your character is doing at the party or how they snuck in, etc. "Zan" is likely to give you his attention, but others can too.))

"I'm not sure if it's just a simple matter of amnesia. Kya anticipated that Korra's recovery could take weeks, if not longer. And yet here she seems to be in perfect condition, with no recollection of the poison or most the battle..."

Lord Zuko lapses into silence as he mulls it over. Why are some affected by the changes, but not others? It could have been the spirit world's way of helping Korra back on her feet, but even so...

He lowers his voice over the chatter and music as much as possible, so as not to be overhead. "There are some here that seem to have been pulled by the spirit world out of the past. I wonder if Korra and your brother follow that same pattern." Even if their 'past' isn't as far back as the end of the Hundred Year War, like many, it would still explain the discrepancy.

The theory seemed totally plausible, but then again, it seems plausible for the very reason that it is a theory that at least sounds reasonable, and Bolin had no other explanation for it. Besides, it was Lord Zuko's idea, so that by itself immediately made it one of the better ideas that there could be, right?

"Oooh that's good," he says in obvious admiration. "I mean, it certainly explains everything, and it's better than all the other ideas I've heard, like how it's actually Korra's stunt double that's going around town pretending to be Korra so people aren't worried about the fact that the Avatar is sick!"

Bolin needs to stop reading the tabloids like now.
