Satellite Crash Event

Questions | Fire Sector | Earth Sector | Metal Sector | Water Sector | Wood Sector | Outlying Areas

The early morning hours of May 21st are broken by the sound of a low lying explosion and a veritable rain of fiery bits and bobs such as molten hot metal and space debris. Those out and about in the very early morning (three hours before dawn) see a meteoric shape streaking overhead and leaving a debris trail. Those interested in following it may find themselves distracted by the debris raining down across Tu Vishan, starting fires and damaging buildings turtlewide. Tu Vishan certainly is, for the great turtle grinds to a halt amidst all this and a trace of concern for the little ones on his shell can be felt in the minds of many.

[alphatar]

I’m a human and I’ve never even heard of it. Is it from here or back on your earth?

[After sitting down on the bed, Korra grinned as she watched Leo cover Mikey. The familial relation was all too clear there. But when he yawned, Korra was compelled to do so as well. Being off her feet for even a minute allowed her body to think it was time to just shut down.]

Yeah, I could too. [Then her eyes looked from the clean, green hands and feet to the rest of the darkened parts of his shell and face.] You more than me though from the looks of it.

[Not about to let her body get too comfortable, let alone start convincing her it was time to knock out, Korra stood up while taking a deep breath.] I think that’s all the crazy I can take from today. Or tomorrow? I don’t even know anymore.

[anything_it_takes]

Oh. Yeah. [And then Leo has his moment of realization that their species-based nickname for a genre of food didn't actually apply when you have humans not from (his) Earth. Whoops.] That's, uh, just what we called the food we first found topside. Humans all over the world back home eat pizza, I think, and - now we do too. New York has some of the best.

[Leo's chuckle of agreement on her bathing evaluation is tired, barely more than a single huff.] That means you'll be faster; you should go first. [Wincing, he lowers himself onto the solid end-table. Once he gets the weight off his legs, it's not an uncomfortable seat for a turtle, and prevents soot from getting onto fabric anywhere. He sighs in relief.]

Pretty sure it's tomorrow. [Leo rubs the back of his neck and closes his eyes at the ache.] Definitely tomorrow…

Look, I don't know how far you have to go, but – you're welcome to crash out here. [She saved Mikey's life and seems about as tired as Leo himself; there is no way he's going to make her walk home. If she's still here in the morning and on the slim chance Raphael actually has a problem with that, he can take it up with Leo.]

[alphatar]

Must be a good dish then if it’s eaten everywhere. [Or it was just cheap and readily available like sea prunes here on the turtle.]

Thanks, but I think I should head home. Make sure it’s still standing. I haven’t seen since this morning and I know my neighbor’s suite got hit pretty hard.

[Dead on her feet and feeling grungy all over, Korra barely took a step and looked over at the empty beds.]

But you know what, if it’s not there I won’t have any place to sleep. So yeah, I think I will take you up on that. [Korra began taking off her hair tubes and heading towards the bathroom.]

Don’t worry, I don’t take long. [Waterbending always made showers go by faster.]
