Aihsohlow | Phorezton | Markutte | Countryside


The commerce town of the tried. Temperatures within the dome are kept at a lofty 18C (62F) year round and the population of Markutte dresses less in furs and more in linens obtained through trade. Their long hair is frequently shorn short in the current fashion and they are, on the whole, less hardy than their kin in Phorezton and Aihsohlow, but even more friendly as they are currently in the throes of the Harvest Haul, a festival that concludes their rare growing seasons and agricultural bounties.

Trade. That's the foundation of Markutte and there are three town squares that are home to transient stalls and merchandise from the country and all surviving areas of Konryu. Many kedan have made their way here and occupy the occasional stall space, selling their wares and exchanging gifts with the citizens as they grasp the nature of the festival underway. Once again, visitors that make the trek here are expected to donate a gift that will be regifted at random, earning access and a stamp of their tin visa that resembles the oblong crystal coin used as currency in this realm.

Police are on the lookout for financial crimes here and will demand visas of any they suspect to be committed fraud, short-selling merchants, or thieving in any way, shape, or form. There are three vistas, one in each market square, upon which heralds stand and announce the crimes and punishments noted of the previous day. Minor theft is common and the punishment is a brand upon the criminal's neck; major theft results in a loss of a finger for each item stolen; fraud here is punishable by death, but only twice will there be an announcement of an execution during the landfall.

The auctions here are quite lively and characters can expect a minor bidding war to obtain their items, but each item is in pristine condition and provided to them wrapped within a thin set of furs as a thanks for their purchase.

Korra can definitely sympathize with feeling offended about it, especially since Ava and Pete are from the same world. Sort of. Not anymore really.

"I didn't know." If he didn't remember Aya, then he definitely won't remember Korra. "I know Pete was really into the science stuff, so maybe something from Bruce?"

"Maybe. I kinda want something more personal, though. Or is that too weird?" She lets out a frustrated sigh. "I dunno. This stuff is so complicated."

At ‘personal’, Korra’s eyebrows rose up with interest.

"Just how personal is this stuff?" Asked with a polite tone of curiosity, though there may be a hint of prying by the way Korra’s leaning in ever so slightly.

"It's pretty personal." She folds her arms because she knows where Korra is going with this. It's where everyone goes even though they're super wrong. Or at least wrong. She doesn't know anymore. Being a teenager is confusing when you DON'T spend most of your time preparing for some big conflict between good and evil or other. "We fought together. We lived together. And he's been a part of my life for the last few years, but the last, like, nine months have been really complicated."

Teenager problems are half of Korra’s life, the other half is spiritual-messiah problems. Still, Korra couldn’t help but think in that direction.

“Has that complicated changed anything? I mean, he’s different, but it’s still Pete, right? So you could just get him something that he can only get from you.” It sounded simple enough to the Avatar.
superoverachiever: ([Displeased] Sulky)

[personal profile] superoverachiever 2013-12-24 01:17 pm (UTC)(link)
"But he doesn't know what he can only get from me, because he doesn't know me." She sighs. "I dunno."
alphatar: (Arrogant Cocky Smug Heh)

Conundrums aren't Korra area of expertise. If there wasn't a way to punch through a problem, then she'd just bend it instead. But lately, she's been having to deal with issues a little more logically.

And it's haaaaaard.

"Get him some food, he's scrawny." Completely joking. But wait... "Maybe something homecooked? I'd never turn that down."
superoverachiever: ([Neutral] I gotcha...)

[personal profile] superoverachiever 2013-12-25 09:00 pm (UTC)(link)
"I dunno. Eating my cooking isn't a super great reward. I'm not that great at it, and we all take turns anyway so it's not like he... remembers... anything about that." She slumps forward. "I guess I could do that."

"Has anything like this happened to you here yet?" Please tell her she's not alone okay.

Korra folded her arms and considered Ava. That wasn’t the question she had been expecting, though now that she thought about it; there wasn’t anything she meant by it.

"Someone coming back that doesn’t remember me? Not really. I mean Tony came back like that, but I only met him once before he left. So, no. Not yet. Actually, I’m one of the ones that came back not remembering anything." Something that had been a minor torn in her side that’s she managed to ignore for the most part.

Though Ava and Pete were friends, it’s pretty obvious to Korra that she had a thing for him. "You’ll think of something."
superoverachiever: ([Friendly] Oh there you are)

[personal profile] superoverachiever 2014-01-07 03:08 am (UTC)(link)
"Well, that makes sense," she arches her back a little as she sighs. "You're a big deal at home, right?" She's not so worried about finding a gift anymore. Sulking about not being important enough to remember is kind of distracting her. "I remember that, though. You didn't remember anything at all, right?"

That other question gets sidelined as Korra turns her head back ever so slightly and rears back slightly.

"No, nothing."

It wasn’t a subject she liked to think of. That she was here, made a home, even offered to make igloos for people and while Asami was here to boot. All of it was just a blank to her when looking at the network, something she did when up too late at night.
superoverachiever: ([Mischief] Here he comes)

[personal profile] superoverachiever 2014-01-10 03:49 am (UTC)(link)
Ouch. She hit a touchy subject, there. Ava snaps out of her mood long enough to offer Korra a hopefully encouraging smile. "I guess that's rough too."
alphatar: (Umm What Nervous)

[personal profile] alphatar 2014-01-10 04:55 pm (UTC)(link)
"Yeah." Blanks. She kept drawing blanks and it felt like it was invading the present and Korra opened her mouth, but all that came out was an "Uhh." There wasn’t anything that came to her mind to divert to.
superoverachiever: ([Weirded] Hesitant)

[personal profile] superoverachiever 2014-01-17 01:26 am (UTC)(link)
"Yeah." Ava's not sure what to say either. So she blurts out the first thing that comes to mind. "So, how's YOUR love life going?"
alphatar: (Smile Happy Helpful Pleased)

[personal profile] alphatar 2014-01-17 05:46 pm (UTC)(link)
The question was so direct that Korra instantly opened her mouth so she could say,

"Uh-"

But she quickly thought about the answer and she happily finished it with "Great! We’ve been spending a lot of time together and I’ve already got Mako’s gift ready. It’s going to be our first Christmas and I think the way things have been going good for us, everything will turn out for the best!"
superoverachiever: ([Friendly] Sunshine)

[personal profile] superoverachiever 2014-01-23 10:53 pm (UTC)(link)
"Good!" Awesome, plan distraction worked. And actually made Korra smile and seem pretty happy, which is a big improvement over a moment ago. "I'm glad."
