[Go in the back to get together bottles to restock the bar for ten minutes: TEN MINUTES, and Korra comes back out to have some random kedan- an entire person! thrown at her which breaks all the bottles she’s carrying.

A very angry, wide eyed stare falls on the one who threw the kedan, and a stiff bottom lip is all they get to see before she’s running into the fray to break a jaw or two.]

NO FIGHTING IN. MY. BAR!

[Unless it’s her apparently. SPOILER: It’s not her bar. This is one of the Avatars that Keeliai has to deal with. There’s no shortage of Korra using her martial arts to weave easily through the brawl, fully aiming to break some bones. Thankfully, she’s not using her bending.

Yet.]

[parallels]

[Clara's in the same position as Korra. The fight got out of hand and knocked one of the drinks out of her head. Cross, she'd gone over to snap at the offender just as the fight began to truly escalate and someone (or maybe more than one?) is thrown into the air across the bar.

This is why she doesn't go to pubs, seriously.

She tries to reach over and grab the arm of someone who is trying to shove someone else against the wall.]

Oi! Knock it off.

[Only to be shoved back hard enough that she topples over and lands on Korra's legs.]

[alphatar]

[The shove catches the corner of Korra's eye and she's actually surprised that it's Clara, fighting isn't something she's expecting from her at all. But it costs her and Korra gets a punch to the face. Grabbing the offender by the arm, she swings them around into the one that shoved Clara and into the growing mess of a fight.]

You okay?

[Disentangling herself from the fight, Korra crouches down to offer Clara a hand up.]

[parallels]

Fine.

[Clara winces and struggles to stand up even with Korra's help. Then she frowns and brushes her fingers against the developing bruise on Korra's face.]

Sorry about that.

[alphatar]

[It’s Korra’s turn to wince.] That’s all right, I can heal it later. [The throbbing is nothing more than a sign that that it was a good punch.

When the fight starts to spread out towards them again, Korra performs a roundhouse kick that causes bluster of air that pushed most of them back to the main dining area.]

This is going to be a mess to clean up later. [But she doesn’t sound that disappointed, if at all.]

[parallels]

I know.

[Well Clara does sound disappointed after her concern about Korra's fake is replaced by frown. She's scowling at the mess already made. When a Kedan tries to grab a bottle off the table to hit someone with. Clara makes a noise of indigence and pulls off one of her heels to whack the offender with.]

Don't even think about it, mate.

[alphatar]

Fighting dirty, I like that.

[The improvisational use of the shoe gets a politely impressed look from Korra, and the Avatar grabs the bottle after the kedan’s stunned by the hit.]

Sorry, we don’t sell by the bottle. [They do. But it’s an excuse for Korra to give a solid front kick to push them back into the growing mass of a brawl.]

Thirsty? [Holding up the bottle, she grins as she makes the offer. Technically, Korra’s still on the clock as barback and that included making drinks if the bartender is unable to or needs help doing so.

At least, that’s what’s in her job description.]

[oyaji]

Hey! Hey! [ Okay, this is not going well at all. With Jim already in the fray between the kedan and the Foreigner in question, Wild Tiger tries to keep others at bay and lead any bystanders back from the fray, but there's only one of him and too many loudmouthed, drunk assholes for him to do much good. Someone shatters a mug and that seems to be the end of the strained control. ]

That was good beer, jackass! [ What a waste! The gall of some people! If he could actually get over there, he'd give the man a piece of his mind. Instead, he worms his way through the crowd only to almost get smacked by a familiar fist. ]

D'ah! Korra! [ He holds up his hands in surrender, until his own fear turns to her safety. ] Behind you!

[alphatar]

[Hearing her name stops the Avatar in mid-swing and she blinks at seeing Wild Tiger there, but his warning reminds her that she is in the middle of a huge fight. Reversing her motion, Korra slams her elbow into the face of the person behind her.]

Thanks! [Grabbing a chair that someone had raised over their head, Korra kicks them in the back and sets it down.] They’re going to wreck everything.

[She flashes a grin at the fellow fighter.]

Want to help stop it?

[oyaji]

Of course! That's my job! Er, our job! [ Nice save, Tiger! ] Anything that breaks gets taken out of my pay, so... Save the table, save the booze!

[alphatar]

[Excellent save, Korra approves.]

Time to take out the trash! [There’s a reason she likes Mako’s cheesy lines, because hers aren’t much better.

Adjusting her armband, Korra breaks back into ruckus with a wheel kick to someone’s chin and uses the momentum behind it to push them into Tiger’s direction by snapping her leg back in. Mopping up the mess is just the kind of fun she’s been wanting, a good outlet. And best of all, she isn’t doing it alone.

Then she remembers:] The rooftop! Let’s get up there first.

[If the bar can avoid anything up there being broken first, all the better. Lugging up replacements over two floors doesn’t sound appealing. Of course, they’re going to have to fight their way there.]

[oyaji]

Ahh, okay... that's... [ Should she be so willy nilly to just kick people in the face? Sure, they're starting fights, but neutralizing them is--Ah hell! This is such a clusterfuck already. ]

Rooftop? Alright, yes! Clear the way, people! Move to the exits in an orderly fashion!

[ Is that right? It's no burglary or terrorist attack. The police generally deal with bar fights, but they got to work the same way when you are trying to keep innocents out of the way?

Of course the problem is the stairs are clogged by onlookers trying to keep away from the pockets of fighting. ]

Hey! Don't just stand there! Just--Get outta the way!

[alphatar]

[After kicking in a leg of one rather tall, rowdy patron, Korra uses his doubled over state to roll herself on his back so she can kick another one square in the chest with both legs. Then she turns back to slam the doubled over kedan’s face into the ground.]

It’s like earthbending. If you want a path, you make one! [She almost chirps at Wild Tiger. Of course that gets a small line of fighters following after Korra since she just knocked out their friend.

This party’s moving up.]

Keep going! [Running up the stairs with him, Korra plans to keep to the plan of working from top to bottom.]
