[ Filtered away from the Malnosso ]

[malnosso]

[A filtered broadcast appears on Luceti's journals on the evening of the 29th.]

Ah. Luceti. It sure has been a while. My, how things change...

[And, oh, how they stay the same. The woman’s voice falls silent for the soft click and gasp of a lighter.]

I hear that not all of you have been playing nicely with my charges; then again, I doubt they made a point to play too nicely, either. [Laughter.] I would bet my last credit that Korras didn't.

Speaking of Blake, could a helpful soul put him on the line? Since the Malnosso shut down their books, it's been...or...blast it, you'll have to do. All of you. Listen -- two days from now, your guests are cleared to return to Kin'cora. Be dears and tell my children they're to line up at your pretty little teleporters. The Organization didn’t see fit to share their schedule but I certainly do see fit to pass it on. Unlike them, I find less entertainment in watching the machines round them up. This way, perhaps only the stragglers will be subjected to that.

Yeah. Trouble alright. They raided the smithy.

[And left Sokka with some nasty injuries besides.]

[justobserving]

Hmm. Industrious, aren't they? At least -- industrious enough to piggy back on your own good industry.

[...] I'm not sure I approve of the beard, by the way.

[markofthewise]

I get that a lot. ["I like you". That's what she said. He rather thought she was pretty decent too.] I prefer to be asked for weapons, though.

[justobserving]

And I'm certain they prefer to be offered them. Or, certainly, they'd prefer to still have their own steel. They have a poor blacksmith who will have start building his armoury all over again, I fear.

[markofthewise]

... well, I know that feeling. [He doesn't want to sympathize with them. Even if, inevitably, he does.] But they're just getting themselves hurt. And killed.

[justobserving]

They likely filed those things as calculated risks when they shipped them over.

[markofthewise]

Calculated risk. [He could get angry about that. But he also knows what that means.] So you mean this was the best option. Anywhere else would've been worse.

[justobserving]

I suppose they held onto a firm faith that Luceti wouldn't fail them in this matter. And that any other enclosure wouldn't be so...welcoming.

I've yet to decide if that assumption was correct or not.

[markofthewise]

We're sending most of them back. I guess they'll figure that's good enough.
