WHO: Mako and YOU, totally OTA.
WHERE: In the city center??
WHEN: 10/9
WHAT: Get bloodbent.
WARNINGS: Check under the cut. But potentially, blood bending can go as bad as you want.

[the fog seems to lay on especially thick this evening, It’s hard to see too far in front of you, and the air seems especially cold. Almost like it’s the dead of December, and not October at all.

In the distance, you can hear the sounds of the city, but really… it sounds far too distant for the busy street you just stepped off of.

The only figure you can see is Mako—who is waiting at the corner for the light to change, and honestly, he looks a little concerned. It’s extremely unusual for the fog to get this bad. They aren’t in San Francisco, after all. And this street is almost never dead, not even in the middle of the night.

He doesn’t extend any conversation—after all, why would he? He’s trying to get somewhere important.

But there appears to be another hooded figure… Waiting.]

((ooc: the figure is Amon, the villain from the first book of legend of korra. And spoiler alert for a 5 year old season, he is a bloodbender.

What is blood bending? It is where a water bender will literally use the water inside of your blood to bend… you! Most often in the show, it is used to knock people unconscious. But Amon knows how to use it to a much more devastating effect. If your powers depend on energy inside of your character, Amon can disrupt the flow of that energy. He can force you to move in ways you don’t want to, break bones, etc.

I am happy to use this to devastating effect, or just to frighten your character! PLEASE, if we have not discussed beforehand, give me a heads up either in your comment, pm to my journal, on my HMD, whatever, of what you’re looking for. I want this to be fun, and I don’t want to leave people going “Awww” who wanted something worse, or people going “OMG THAT WAS TOO MUCH” for people who want just a little scarytimes.

Thanks guys, for letting me make this villain as scary as he could have been.))

[Amon lifts him up, and draws him closer to Mako, his blood drawing closer to his center, putting pressure that is unfamiliar and... well, uncomfortable, to say the least, to his muscles and bones. Worse, the hooded figurer is not even moving to make this happen.]

"This is surprising. I was expecting the Avatar with you."

[he casts a glance at Noah, and his eyes narrow underneath his mask. He's... annoyed.

And the pressure on both of them increases-- it almost feels like something is tearing.]

[Noah doesn't even know what an Avatar is- at least whatever it's supposed to be this guy is referring to.

He's trying really hard to struggle against the hold, because of course he is. But it hurts a lot. But it's not Noah unless he keeps trying to struggle. In fact, there's some weak crackling of energy coming from that left arm of his-- he's attempting to activate that weapon of his. It's just a lot harder while being bloodbent. ]

[so of course, Amon looks over at the sound of the crackling... And he laughs. What was this? Some sort of weapon?

If anything, his blood freezes, spiking and pushing against his veins, and locking him into a vise. Mako lets out a cry, because whatever he's doing to Noah, he's doing to him too.

Noah lifts up high, just with a nod of his head.]

"You think you can attack me.

[Noah cries out as his blood freezes more. The energy crackling stops for a moment, as it's too painful to even think about activation. And to make it worse, he can hear Mako cry out.

Fuck. This is bad. What is this guy?

But Noah isn't one to give up. He's survived this long, he couldn't let some fog illusion get him. Through gritted teeth, he'll force out words.]

The fuck are you?

[Amon forces his arms back, and high, extending them further than they really should be able to, as if to prove his point on their situation. It isn't just the freezing of blood, but also the total control over his muscles and bones, and how they would bend.

Bending. Heh.

But truly, he has no quarrel with Noah. It's just the cruelty of the fog that really pushes him on, and he steps closer to both of them]

"Who I am does not matter. I will eliminate bending from this world."

[and that's where his look fixes on Mako more firmly-- driving home the point that it was him he'd settle for, even if he couldn't get the Avatar.]

[Noah makes another pained noise as his arms get bend further back. Shiiit, this hurts a lot.

But even with the pain, Amon's words really confuses Noah. Because he's never heard about benders in the way that Amon means. He just knows about what benders meant back in his homeland: getting drunk, or gay people.

Neither of which applies to Mako, at all. Yet Amon seems so fixated on him right now.]

Uh-

[He speaks through gritted teeth, but even then the really confused tone comes through]

Fuck, you really got the wrong guy...

[MAKO HAS A GIRLFRIEND]

[what? Amon and Mako look a little confused at Noah's statement-- but Mako's confusion is temporary. It's a distraction, long enough for him to focus-- calm his mind and...

A bolt of lightning leaps out at Amon with a crack, and he collapses-- which drops both Mako and Noah to the ground unceremoniously. But there's no time to get their bones back in working order.]

Noah?

[Mako pulls himself up, and offers a hand to him]

Let's get out of here.

[I can't believe Noah's stupidity won the day.

Noah makes a thud on the ground, squawking as he does so. He's a bit surprised that Mako just shot out LIGHTNING- was that new? That seemed new.

But he's not going to argue right now, and he'll take Mako's hand to help pull himself up]

Y-Yeah, good idea.
