Asami was so, so tired.

She couldn't even revel in her newly returned face as she settled in for the night in her bathrobe and pajamas. The day had been physically and emotionally exhausting. She was ready for it to be over.

But there was still the matter of the picture that had apparently appeared in her pocket today. Asami avoided thinking about Dad as much as she could. She told herself that she had forgiven him, and that was that.

Yet she couldn't look at his picture without feeling sick.

Then there had been that thing today. Tearing holes in reality and attacking everything around it. And she had found Korra running right at it. Of course she had. That was what Korra did.

But it was scary. It was scary in a rare kind of way that forced rational thought to scatter.

Asami took a heavy, shuddering breath as she settled on the side of the bed. Her eyes ached, but she didn't want to cry here. Not after the day they had all had.

how easily do you think i'd be able to sneak a tank of liquid nitrogen into the house without lust noticing

[Remember that gift Korra gave Mabel? Well, don't mind her returning the favor!]

Hey, Korra, are you there? It's me, Mabel! I got something for you and I think we should totally meet up right away!

[So Asami likes to think she's done a good job preparing for this Valentine's Day with such short notice and a limited budget, never mind keeping it all a surprise. She can't do much about their day starting off in a tent, though.

Once she's awake enough she lazily rolls over onto Korra, pressing a kiss to her cheek.]

Good morning, sweetie.

[On the day of February 14th, should they look at their communicator, they might see a message from one young Mabel Pines!]

Hey, you! You there! Yes, I’m talking to you! I’m just here to wish you a super duper Happy Valentine’s Day! May you get a lot of love and candy from everyone around you!

Because I know you definitely deserve it!

Korra?

[They'd settled down for a break during their traveling and it was while she was browsing through her notes that she realized the date. Walter's celebration was happening tomorrow and that meant if she was going she needed to figure out her plans and get a move on.]

I need to take a small detour to Johto. It would probably be best if I left tonight and then I could come home either tomorrow night or the next morning.

[She looks thoughtful as she says it, Tseng, who was seated beside her, peering at her notes.]

A friend of mine is holding an end of Summer celebration and invited me to attend so I could see the celebration in person. [Cissnei pauses before offering the other young woman a grin.] You're welcome to travel with me but Walter is a bit...hesitant about strangers so you'd be stuck trying food in Ecruteak alone.

[Things had finally gone back to normal..well, as normal as things could be. Nightmares were still lingering for Cissnei but she was doing her best to deal with it, her Ghost Pokemon aiding her where they could. She and Korra had ended up on Six island at the end of it all and it was nice to be somewhere less haunting and more warm and welcoming.

Even if it was a bit difficult to enjoy it all right now.

Six Island was definitely a more relaxed island than the others they had visited and Cissnei was glad for the change. It gave her a chance to just relax and collect her thoughts, get herself back to normal.

She had left most of her Pokemon back at the hotel they were staying at for the time being though Reno and Shuriken had refused to leave her alone, tagging along as she headed out to explore the town. All of the residents she met were pleasant and easy going and by the time she settled on the beach she was feeling better. Reno was dozing on his back in the sand beside her while Shuriken padded about closer to the water, nosing at shells and startling a few other Pokemon in the process. Cissnei was staring out at the water, hands resting behind her with her fingers buried in the sand, attempting to find that same peace she had been experiencing before all the nightmares.

It was just..difficult to forget everything she had seen in that forest...]

[It's been a while since she's talked to Korra, and given that her stupid ugly fish finally managed to evolve after so. much. work. she feels like maybe she ought to pop in and let Korra know about it.

The video opens dramatically on one singular Pokeball sitting by itself, before Chloe flips the camera and offers a peace sign.]

Yooo, long time no see. I just felt you'd be stoked to know that because of you I caught one of those stupid fish, andddd... dragon time!

[She gestures to the ball.

She's very clearly not. actually letting it out of the ball, which she hope Korra doesn't notice.

It's still really angry in general. Which, relatable buuut she doesn't want to destroy the city or anything. Or herself.]

yoooo! i feel like u and me haven't talked in forever
what u been up to?
got any hella cool stories from the islands lately

hey

still in the business of rescuing damsels in distress?

one of my kids went home

think it's time for another great escape to the islands

is that okay? don't wanna impose

[The informal and very much grammatically incorrect clipped text might set off some alarm bells that Botan is in a state of emotional turmoil.]

[As expected, there's the package of sweets as a Christmas present from Botan. But that's not all! It seems Korra got a necklace in Pidgey post today, looks like an ice stone.]

Korra--expert damsel rescuer,

I had a hard time thinking of what to get to sum up what an important piece in my life you've been with the madness we all deal with being here. Halloween was a bust, but I'm glad I got to spend it with you, not to mention the escapes to the island.

I've got a matching one that's a Fire Stone.

(You don't have to keep it if you don't want to.)

Merry Christmas!

All my love,
Botan ❤

[New Year's Day, Korra will find a small package of mochi (colored pink, of course, though that's not the tradition) along with a card giving New Year's greetings. The card simply reads "Happy New Year, wish you were here" and contains a picture of Botan with her Pokemon. She's making a heart hands gesture and appears to be wearing a very special kimono, smiling bright as always.

The Fire Stone necklace she mentioned in her last letter to Korra is around her neck and unintentionally is brought attention to by Botan's gesture framing it.]

I heard you work with the Jennies. [Though to what capacity he's still not sure.] Mind if I ask you some questions?

Kksshhhtttt--this is Big Daddy. Toadie, do you read me?

_{[Yes, JW is bored on Halloween. He's hiding out in his hotel room because he does NOT want to see what this world has up its sleeve as far as supernatural-themed holidays go.]}

You were supposed to be at the--kksshhhttt--docks and hour ago, what gives?

hey.
dimitri is hosting some kind of picnic event in goldenrod on the 26th.
if you want to come we could spar there.
and maybe play hockey.

hi.
you offered once to show me where you live on the islands.
I'd like to take you up on it.
for a few days maybe.

[Well, this is certainly a rare sight. Armin looks both tired and more than a little battle-worn and yet at the same time extremely frantic.]

K-Korra, are you on the Islands right now?
