You're going to hear me roar

[raavashing]

Characters: Wan and OTA for anyone wanting to help him with his attempt to possess Asti
Date: between 10/15 and 10/24
Location: Zuko's
Situation: lots of talking and planning and trying to coordinate things in secret
Warnings/Rating: none

10/16 & 10-17 For those who've been contacted directly via Inboxes/Turtles

Wan had sent the messages from his console after spending a few hours mediating under his lantern. It was all the time he was going to spare for that consideration while he still felt that Zuko needed him there. Not all the time, since he was getting better and obviously so, but enough that he wanted to stay with him in the building that had been secured from further intrusions by violent kedan.

He wasn't going to wait for messages back, just hope that the people he contacted would come.

[[As Wan is staying with Zuko still, he's asked that meetings happen there. If you don't want Zuko to tag in occasionally, let us know.]]

For those who've heard about this indirectly and want in

Wan had gotten the word out mostly through Dante and Michelangelo, and had high hopes that whomever they contacted would get in touch with him. Since they knew so many more people than he did. He was nervous, but he'd given both firm answers about where he could be found. And maybe, just maybe, they could get organized enough to pull this off. Without Wan's soul being ripped apart or swallowed by the vastness of Asti's own personality and lifeforce.

"Great! We're going to have to get a lot of practice in before I try possessing the Great Turtle," he said back, forgetting that he hadn't actually mentioned that part of his plan to her yet. "If that doesn't work, trying to purify Tu Vishan is a good back up plan."

[alphatar]

Korra stilled and stared at Wan as if he had just sprouted out of the floor.

"Wait, you’re what?" She shook her head because she heard what he said, she just didn’t understand it. "No, you- you don’t have any idea what that could do to you. Asti’s a lot more powerful than the Avatar, you could end up dead."

Korra wasn’t generally one for caution, but she knew when something was far out of her league; and by proxy: Wan’s.

[raavashing]

Wan looked away, shoulders hunching a little as he suddenly felt very guilty. He was prepared for the possible results. Softly, he replied, "I know he is. But the goal is to force the Great Darkness out. If I can take his place within Tu Vishan for even a moment, then it's enough. He's not physically vulnerable right now and that makes getting to him impossible. Forcing him out... it's the only thing I can think of."

[alphatar]

"This won’t work! M-" Korra bit down on her lips, her eyes wide with anger looking at the back of Wan’s head. "HE could probably absorb your spirit if you tried. Corrupting things is what this thing does, there has to be some other way to push him out; or boost Asti’s strength to fight him off." She had her hands gesturing at almost every word. Korra had no idea how to even do any of what she was saying, but Wan was one of the few people she considered an anchor in her forced life in Konryu and she didn’t want to lose him.

[raavashing]

"I'm doing this," he said softly into the silence that followed her words. He was firm, his determination obvious. Wan looked up again and met her eyes. "I don't believe he can corrupt Raava, even if he could corrupt me. And I don't know any other way to give her power to Asti, even if my goal was to do more than just push Malicant out. And I have to do something."

He took a breath, "Raava thinks it should work."

[alphatar]

She knew that feeling. That need to do something instead of sitting around, and for the first time; she hated it. Korra had the same feeling, but she hadn't been able to do anything to Malicant. Nothing had worked and she was sure this was the same thing.

Crossing her arms, Korra gave Wan a hard look.

That he could communicate with Raava and she never could unless the spirit was actually outside her body nettled her slightly. She was still a bit of a spiritual failure even after being on the turtle for more than a year.

"You shouldn't do it alone." And that he only called her for her possible knowledge on the subject and not outright help stung. "Maybe Aang can help with that."

[raavashing]

He shook his head, "It can only be done alone. It's already going to be hard enough to try and possess the Great Turtle, trying it with more than one person - more than one piece of our soul - when I don't know for sure how to do it on my own will only make it more complicated. I'm not going to ask Aang to help with it, either. Just if he knows how to possess another creature."

He wasn't going to risk his future lives more than he already was just by doing this.

[alphatar]

She tightly tucked her arms under her chest.

"Just don't die. I don't think I could handle you seeing me again for the first time." Losing people was hard enough, but memories after dying wasn't the greatest either.
