Rough Month, New Business
Who: Korra and YOU
What: Her opening a new business, despite feeling lousy all month.
When: Late month
Where: Around and About
Getting Ready - Closed to Mako, any Team Avatar Interested
She's building a cart.
Well, in fairness, she already knew roughly the parts she needed for that - but this month? This month it's a challenge. Just hammering in a few nails and she feels like she has to sit down on a nearby crate.
She's got the basic box on the basic wheels - but after that it's harder. She has plans for this, after all - a travelling shop, pulled by Naga. If she can only get it done.
This is a lousy, lousy month, she decides - and not for the first time. This month has been nothing but exhaustion and pain. And, best of all! She can't even get comfort for it! Even when Asami isn't working, touch itself causes more discomfort. She's very much done with this month. She sags onto one of the cabinets she's installing inside the cart, along the sides, laying down the hammer and wiping at her brow.
She'll get this done, she's determined - but it sure isn't a fun time.
Korra's Kreations - Around and About - OPEN
The end result, though, is worth the time and effort. The final product looks like a small house on wheels - which in many ways it is. A peaked roof sits under light, red tiles. There's even a tiny, false chimney. At the back of the cart, a set of stairs folds down, to allow people to come upwards into the shop itself - both sides of the cart's interior filled with shelving and cabinets, displaying the many glass trinkets and treats Korra has been working on.
At the front, her seat is a swivel - she can turn around and be right at her counter, a small pair of window panes opening up to allow commerce.
The glassware inside, carefully packed and strapped into place, covers any number of things. Housewares, decorative items - there's even a small, round container with a number of delicate, multicoloured glass flutes in it. Plates, cups, mugs, small figurines - to some eyes it will be a wild collection. She has crafted what she knows, after all. Skybison and Platypus bears abound, along with so many other creatures.
In a little basket, carefully secured at the front of the cart, Korra's Omen, the turtle-duck named Toph, sleeps.
As for the cart's method of locomotion? Well. That's right down to Naga - the polar bear dog, ambling along at her own pace. The cart's weight is nothing much to a creature of Naga's strength. Not that Korra doesn't give her frequent breaks, and any number of treats.
But for the moment, the shop is open, come find some treasures!
Downtime - OPEN
Later on in the day, commerce done, she just rests against Naga, a blanket between them to reduce the pain of contact. It's one of the few ways she can feel even vaguely comfortable this month. Naga, for her part, dozes. Korra leans back against her, watching the moonlight.
Toph waddles about on her four webbed legs, nibbling here and there.

"Sorry. I tend to be a worrier. Back home, I was part of an entire team of super-heroes and almost all of them would take their problems to me. So I kind of got used to the worry thing."

"But I'll help you wherever I can - if you want it! We can maybe start regular sessions, in the future."
