it's the solstice
Who: Mako, Wu, & close CR
What: They might be in a different world, but the solstice is the solstice, and that means it's time to feed everyone you care about, if you're Mako
When: Night of December 21st
Where: Mako and Wu's loft above the Raccoon Room
Content warnings: Sadness from potential memory-share stuff, homesickness, mentions of Mako and Bo's dead parents

If you have close CR with Mako or Wu, in the days leading up to the Winter Solstice—December 21st—you may have gotten a small text invite in your inbox. A few simple lines inviting you to the Raccoon Room on the night of the 21st for dinner "because it's the solstice." Normally the Raccoon Room is closed early in the week, but on the 21st they've opened it up.
They're actually having people over in the loft above the Raccoon Room, and their living space is decked out in lanterns and candles to keep out the long darkness. Snow falls quietly outside, but in here it's warm and it smells like ginger and pepper. Wu's put on a few scratchy records in the background. Here and there, Winter Mournings are hung, not quite out of reach. It's very easy to accidentally or purposefully touch one.
If anyone comes in early enough, Mako is still at the counter with his sleeves rolled up, rolling dumplings, covered in rice flour. Maybe help him cook? He's looking better than he was early in the month: his skin is the correct pallor without that odd gray cast, and there's no smoke rolling off his body, so that... has to be good!
For the later arrivals, Mako's made dinner, which means hot tangyuan in gingery broth, an entire bowl of mushroom noodles for sharing, and a simmering pot of broth for people to cook things in, as well as a lot of a tangy sauce that Mako gets kind of cagey about when people try. Sit down, enjoy some hot pot! It's a time to be together, after all.
[ ooc: tag around, top-level, have a good time! ]

They do. We do. I... still think we should talk to Asami, see what she can build. There are floating statues here and people from other universes, there has to be a way to talk to each other. Right?
no subject
[and perhaps it's a little frustrating to even ask, knowing it'll just be oh you know, more people from my home world. there's a whole ton!
that's...not how Mako acts, but look. when one is bracing for negativity, the framing device comes packed full of it already.]

She's... my ex-girlfriend from home, yeah. One of them. The other one is, uh, also here. Korra. Best inventor in our world. Her dad invented Satomobiles, and everything she's made is ten times better than his stuff.
no subject
with all the bluntness of a natural-born little brother:] Is everyone you've dated or kissed here right now, or...?
no subject
....yeah. Actually. Yes. All three of them.
no subject
no: Mako gets that sound. just that! that's all he has. perish.]
