NAME: Bolin
GENDER: Male
PREFERENCES: oh uh
not terrifying and determined to make me live in icy bliss forever?

[sangilak]

What about icy comfort?

[bolincredible]

Now see, I do like icy comfort. I mean, it blows icy bliss way out of the water. No contest.

[sangilak]

Especially when you get to spend it in a giant castle made out of snow. I mean, have you seen that thing!?

[bolincredible]

Right, it's crazy! [ AT LEAST U UNDERSTAND. ] Can you imagine what it was like to build that?

[sangilak]

Probably really tiring, no matter how many waterbender construction workers they had around.

[bolincredible]

I guess it's at least in a place where they don't have to keep it from melting? [ Because what a pain that would have to be anywhere else in the world. ] We should make a supercool earthbending castle or something, just to keep things even. I mean, it was always off the table for me and Mako back in Republic City because you need a permit or something, but there's so much space here!

[ LAWLESS SPACE... ]

What about girls from California who know a lot about animals? ( plops right down hey cutie )

[bolincredible]

[ YES GOOD. Propping his chin up on a hand nbd. He is very suave and manly. Totally in control. ]

Well, I don't know what California is, but I'm definitely all about knowing a lot about animals!

[amplified]

It makes sense that California wouldn't exist in a world that has sky bison. ( she smiles back, quite charmingly. ) So what do you like to do, besides play with fireferrets?

[bolincredible]

Oh, I dunno, I'm pretty easy! I like playing sports, traveling, eating... I was an actor for a while and that was pretty fun! Sooo I guess pretty much anything I don't not like. [ He never thought about it in particular detail. Huh. Maybe he'll have to work on that. ] What about you?

[amplified]

I like watching sports. Traveling would be nice, if I had the time for it anymore. I guess I do, here, but... It's not the same as taking a vacation. I like to read. Learning in general, actually. I know three languages fluently, another couple marginally, and I'm working on one here that doesn't even exist in my world. Um... ( she shrugs slightly. ) Shopping?

[bolincredible]

Whoa, three languages? That's amazing! [ CAN BRAINS REALLY HOLD THAT MUCH KNOWLEDGE?? ] And I guess traveling around here is more like a gamble... I mean, lots of chances to go shopping in other towns and stuff, but definitely not great for relaxing getaways.

[amplified]

Maybe we should go on a mission to find a place that's designed specifically for vacationing. ( she grins. ) Or dating.

[bolincredible]

If any places like that exist, I'm totally on board for heading out to find them. The speed dating thing is pretty cool and everything, it's a lot of fun! Really getting to plan stuff out can be even better, though.

[amplified]

Wanna go to the station with me and get ice cream? I know it's a long trip but I promise the cake batter flavor is worth it.

[waterbearer]

That is an unusual condition, though I find I agree.

[ Kaldur is curious. ]

Is it a story for the telling?

[bolincredible]

Oh, uhhhh. Yeah, I guess it's a story! [ Like why not right. ] I was sort of... briefly engaged. To Korra's cousin, Eska. And I guess her twin brother just kind of by proxy there. See, it's a funny story, really! We were dating and I was trying to break up with her, only she thought we could bridge our relationship chasm with marriage, and then I was wearing a betrothal necklace... I mean, we're still friends! Totally all worked out.

[waterbearer]

[ Kaldur's eyebrow is just going to sort of migrate north the longer Bolin talks. ]

2/2

[waterbearer]

Is this... a common occurrence for you?

[ WAS TOTALLY BETROTHED BUT IT ALL WORKED OUT NO BIG DEAL, like.... what?

On the other hand, that seems like a totally Bolin thing to happen. ]

You remind me of a friend from home. I imagine he would do much the same thing.

[ looking at you, wally. ]

[bolincredible]

Oh, no, it's not common! One-time thing. So far. [ Oh wait. ] And then maybe this girl in Redgate but she was super easy to talk out of it. I'm just not betrothal material. You might like Eska, though! I mean, she grows on you. Eventually. Ooh, your friend's not the luckiest, though, huh?

[ who am i playing what does his life mean. ]

[waterbearer]

It isn't that he necessarily finds himself engaged to every other individual, only that he likely would.

[ tbh, Kaldur is pretty sure you beat wally on the 'how unlucky and then lucky again am i' scale. ]

But I am glad, at least, that you have remained on good terms with all those you encounter.

[bolincredible]

Oh, me too. I mean, I usually try for good terms if they're not super evil and crazy trying to rule the world or anything? Never hurts to try. [ Good terms means not on bad terms, meaning no need for pesky conflicts. Win/win/win. ]

[waterbearer]

Do you run into those a lot? [ Kaldur does, man. His biological father also happens to be one of them. ]

And yes, good terms tend to be the best option, if possible.

[ A pause. ]

I believe I have told you this before, but it bears repeating. You would make a good superhero, Bolin.

[bolincredible]

Only like... twice so far! We had Amon trying to get rid of all the benders in the world, and then Korra's uncle was trying to fuse with a spiritual manifestation of darkness and chaos to rule over the world for ten thousand years. [ Ha ha those... those wackos... those terrifying wackos. ] And hey, I appreciate a compliment even if I have heard it before! Nothing to worry about.
