[Here is one genius mage, seated at a table with books and tools strewn everywhere as always. In her hands is a shiny object that could be mistaken for a thick bracelet, if not for the intermittent light emitted by the inset gem and the holographic console above it. Rita taps several symbols on the console, and the gem pulses weakly before fading again. Although she sighs and shakes her head, there's not really much actual impatience behind it.]

Come on, old man. I know you can do better than that. Don't be so lazy...

[While she mutters, she continues typing and adjusting until the light becomes strong and steady, at which point she nods in satisfaction. Pride, even.]

See? You can do it when you want to. Okay, Arven, you'll be working hard from now on if you know what's good for you.

[If the blastia's name sounds similar to Raven, it's clearly just coincidence. Clearly.]

[Curious face.] Oh, and what would this be?

[blastiafreak]

It's just a simple monitoring job, but I know he's reliable for it when he wants to be.

[drizzlinginside.livejournal.com]

A monitoring job?

[blastiafreak]

Yeah, you know--Taking and recording measurements over a period of time.

[drizzlinginside.livejournal.com]

[And from curious face to smiley face.] Sounds like hard work. I admire your diligence, Rita.

[blastiafreak]

[A bit flustered, she waves it off. Why is sincere praise from friends so awkward?] It...it's not that hard--something like this is pretty simple.

[Aw, s-so cute, Rita! Katara thinks she really won't mind seeing more of your good moods.] To you, maybe. To someone like me, it's not. And I think that's really something.

[blastiafreak]

[So much better than their arguments!] Oh, yeah....I-I guess you're right. Of course, data measurements are valuable, so it's not like his job isn't important to me, either.

[drizzlinginside.livejournal.com]

[I agree!] Well, then both of you should be given credit, right?

[blastiafreak]

[Cuteness~] Huh? Uh, sure...

Once I reconfigure a few more...Do you want to see them?

[drizzlinginside.livejournal.com]

[Finally, they get some cuteness!] Sure, I'd like that. I haven't seen one up close.

[blastiafreak]

[Yes! It just a liiiittle while~] All right. You haven't seen this one yet? [She taps the one around her neck--the one she uses to cast her spells.]

[drizzlinginside.livejournal.com]

[They just had to develop their friendship~] Um, yeah. I haven't. Does it also do what Arven does?

[blastiafreak]

[They did~!] No, not exactly. I use this one for my magic.

[drizzlinginside.livejournal.com]

[So cool!] I see. So, it helps you with your magic? [She doesn't know how they work, so she's just assuming now. With bending, it's a lot easier to imagine.]

[blastiafreak]

Yeah, that's right. Without this one, I wouldn't be able to cast any spells.

[drizzlinginside.livejournal.com]

You better take care of it, then.

[blastiafreak]

Why wouldn't I take care of a blastia?

[drizzlinginside.livejournal.com]

I know, I know. I was just making sure.

[blastiafreak]

Well, you can be sure that there's no way I'd ever mistreat a poor blastia!
