4nd wave | voice + action

[rebonding]

I just wanted to speed it up a little!

[Korra's voice is panicked as her journal is whipped open. She isn't even directing the words specifically at the open book, now.]

Asami, just- Try to get more water! Or something! We can't afford burn through all of the fresh barrels, either!

[There's definitely something going on in the background. The clanging of pots and pans, the wild shuffling of (two?) makeshift pirates, and... is that a fire crackling? Finally, Korra's voice is loud and clear over the journal.]

Guys, we need some help down in the kitchen! We... I... kind of set it on fire. Like. Really on fire. [Then she's gone again for a moment-] And if anyone not on the ship can hear this... Advice?? Please?! [There's only so much water to be bent at her disposal.]

Fire requires air to burn. Smother it or remove the air, and you remove the fire.

[voice]

[rebonding]

We're trying!

[Korra's voice fades in and out of volume as dashes back and forth.]

I can't do that kind of airbending yet-!

[She's growing extremely frustrated with her own inefficiency.]

There's towels, but they're not really big enough!

[voice]

[letteropener]

Lids are the quickest way to smother fires in a kitchen. If it's too large for that... you might be in trouble, if you can't find a way to smother it quickly.

Action;

[streetferret]

[There's not much that can make Mako almost fall out of his hammock, but hearing this through the pages- yeah that does it.]

How- [Forget it, he's better just going there himself. Leaving the journal, he's running into the galley and slides to a stop. Yup, that's a splinter in his foot.

Forget that too, he'll deal with it after this.]

What. did. you. do? [He's no waterbender, but he can least bend the flames to keep them from spreading too fast.]

Action;

[rebonding]

I just wanted to speed it up! If the stupid thing hadn't been cooking so slowly, this wouldn't have happened!!

[Korra only paused for a half a second to stare helplessly at Mako before returning to trying to smother the fire with a blanket.]

Just help us out here!

[Action]

[ex_automobiles598]

[THIS IS ALL YOUR DOING, KORRA. Well the fire part anyway, she helped with making a terrible and smoking dinner]

When I said help me speed it up I didn't mean for you to use firebending! [A groan] Don't they have anything in here for these kind of situations?

[Action]

[rebonding]

Maybe?!

[She's skittering around the small kitchen and looking for something, anything that could help.]

SOMEBODY GET DOWN HERE!

[That would be Korra barking at the journal once again.]

This "kitchen on a pirate ship" stuff is still kinda new! If it wasn't obvious, I don't exactly cook around here!

[action]

[vysecaptain]

[Vyse is away from his journal, but on the same ship, so he heard the commotion and shouting anyway and goes to check it out. Fire in the kitchen is bad--he keeps a small amount of gunpowder in there sometimes.]

Whoa what's--

[Okay, nevermind, bad time for questions.]

Don't use water, it'll make it worse! Do we have any salt in here...?

[He's going to look as he asks.]

[action]

[rebonding]

What do you mean, don't use water?!

[This is BASIC BENDING, NEW GUY! WATER GETS RID OF THE FIRE. Just as Korra rebukes Vyse's statement, the water she's currently flinging at the fire catches on a bit of grease and the flames jump dangerously high.]

OOOKAY about that salt-

[It's a pirate kitchen, they must have plenty of it.]

There should be a barrel for preserving food around here somewhere. That'll have a ton of it.

Action;

[hiken]

[Ace arrived on the scene, ready to save the day.

Except not really.

Sleep-walking, he passed by the chaos, dragging his feet until he got to the liquor cabinet, which he began rifling through.]

Action;

[rebonding]

[In the chaos, Korra doesn't even notice that Ace has shuffled into the room. She pauses for a moment, confused at the complete absurdity of it all... Until it hit her.

Sleep walking.

That bastard.]

ACE, EITHER WAKE UP OR GET OUT OF HERE.

[Ain't nobody got time fo yo shit. Even if yelling at him won't do any good, Korra's not thinking so straight at the moment.]

[song_princess]

[A Fire?! Oh goddess! Help.]

Are you alright?! Please stay safe! [And she is hurrying to the kitchen to see if she can help at all. No fire.... No fire..... Please make the fire go away.]

[rebonding]

I'll be fine! The ship on the other hand-

[She'll find Korra and Asami desperately trying to keep the flames under control. Totally not Korra's fault. Nooope...]

Don't come in here!

[voice]

[thethundersaid]

[That sure does sound like Korra. He contemplates the panicking voices for a moment before asking, though he has his doubts she's even going to notice in the commotion:]

Did you set fire to wood or is it an oil fire?

[voice]

[rebonding]

No idea!

[Silence for a moment. Or, not silence, but the background noise that comes with a kitchen currently going up in smoke. Korra's back a moment later.]

I think it's wood?? But there could be grease anywhere in here for all I know.

[Action]

[theartofboom]

[And one Pyromantic Planeswalker arrives on the scene moments later.]

What did you do? Honestly?

[She's already heading over towards the fire, a look of vague annoyance and contempt on her face. She hasn't even met this girl yet...]

If you can't control it, then why in the name of the Eternities are you playing with it?

[Of course, Chandra's hair is quite literally on fire!]

[Action]

[rebonding]

[GREAT, FIRE-HEAD LADY, TOO. Korra growled with frustration.]

I can control it! I just... wasn't looking...

[Okay, she'll admit that.]

Just help us get salt on this!

[Voice]

[grandlineswag]

Truly, the other crews on this ocean are terrifying to hear in action.

[Voice]

[rebonding]

Listen, pal-

[...

Nope, she can't think of a snarky comeback right now.]

YOU'RE NOT HELPING.

[Good one, Korra.]

[Action] I just saw this. Oh God. XD Let me know if I should move somewhere else.

[redfootzeff]

[Zeff steps out of the galley for A FEW MINUTES and this is what he comes back to?!]

What the hell did you do?!

[He whips his peg leg out to deliver a kick fast enough to blow out a section of the flames.]

Soak some blankets in sea water to beat it out before it spreads! And whatever you do, don't let it near the flour!

[You two are about to get permabanned from his kitchen.]

[Action] This is fine! I'm kind of just handwaving Korra running all over.

[rebonding]

[Korra didn't just wet her pants. Noooope, definitely not.]

IT WASN'T ME!

[Gut reaction. Because yeah, it was totally her. She freezes for a brief moment, staring at Zeff like a cat-deer in the headlights.]

I- YEAH! THAT'S WHAT WE WERE-

[She demonstrates nervously, flinging another handful of salt at the flames.]

voice;

[jailbreaks]

I've heard of bad cooks, but never thought I'd see the day someone set a kitchen on fire due to it.

[He's at least assuming that's what caused the fire. In any case, he'd love to help but he's... still learning his way around these seas and boats and all that fun stuff.]

voice;

[rebonding]

NOT HELPING, PAL.

[The crisis is mostly averted for now, and Korra isn't a bad cook! Just an impatient one!]

voice

[wavemotiongunner]

[Most of the fire training Kodai has had is rendered useless by the fact that this happening on a wooden ship.]

I don't suppose there's some sort of red cylinder around?

voice

[rebonding]

A red... What?

[Nooope. Sorry, Kodai.]
