Hey uh— [ AWKWARD PAUSE... ] I don't think I got your name last time, but I'm Korra! We talked a little while ago when you told everyone about those giant worms.

[ yes korra everyone remembers. your point? ]

I didn't get to ask you about it at the time, but who taught you those moves? [ SERIOUSLY, THAT WAS AWESOME. ] I've never seen anyone waterbend like that before.

voice.

[waterbearer]

Kaldur'ahm. But my friends call me Kaldur.

I was taught at the Altantean Conservatory of Sorcery, how to use and focus my powers. Though I have never heard the term 'waterbend' before. Is that how your magic is defined in your world.

[ It's an intriguing concept, and Kaldur finds himself very interested. ]

I would be interested in learning from you, and perhaps to teach you as well. If our different training and talents could be compatible, it would be a great benefit to increase that knowledge.

audio; backdated like whoa

[chromosomes]

It's Grimm -- we're under attack and they're lighting goddamn fires everywhere.

[ so get up here and assist etc ]

audio; ilu2

[waterbearer]

[ No questions, no hesitations. Kaldur is already pulling water with him, hoping to bring enough to help combat some of the worst of the fires ]

Give me critical locations.

[ He can only drag it with him so far, after all. ]

—Kaldur.

[ she says his name in the middle of a breath, like she's been trying to buck up her courage for the past few minutes—which is exactly what's been happening. artemis has been here for a few days already and she's figured out how to use the locket in order to contact people and check who all is here, and given that she didn't see kaldur at the feast, she's...

well.

artemis is feeling way out of place. getting thrown into a sack and then dropped into a court full of mostly unsavory people has a way of making a girl sown and grown by villains more than just a smidge uneasy.

she takes in another breath, feeling her hands tremble a bit, but she tries to control it. ]

This is Artemis, designation B-07, checking in.

voice; 6/4.

[waterbearer]

Artemis

[ His voice is warm. He had not been at the welcome feast for new arrivals, but to be contacted that Artemis was here. Someone ie knows, in truth.

Still, his discussion with Batman- Grayson weighs on his mind. ]

I hope that you will not find this world too troubling. I am still trying to determine more about the conflict we have been brought to, but I first must ask.

What is the date, from which you have come?

The powers work strangely, here.

forward-dated to whenever korra's at the station.

[sangilak]

Kaldur'ahm, I have a question. What size do you wear? S M L XL XXL???

I don't know what any of them mean but I found this really nifty place with these things called "shirts" and I wanted to get one for you.

SWEEET

[waterbearer]

Each of those responds to a size: Small, Medium, Large Extra-Large and Extra Extra Large.

I would take a Large (L) or Extra Large (XL)

between 11PM 8/1 - 1 AM 8/2

[infiltraitor]

Head's up, Kaldur. Queen Morla just put out a bounty on some in the Seelie court.

between 11PM 8/1 - 1 AM 8/2

[waterbearer]

Thank you. Names, if you have them. And be careful, Artemis.

[fell_to_hell]

[Nico is in a rare state of near overwhelming panic. After the initial wave of souls threatened to knock him out by their sheer volume, and their relief and joy flooding his system afterward, makes him immediately check on those people he knows are traveling in a large group.

The tension in his expression as he sends the message to Kaldur isn't something he can hide, and honestly he has no energy to hide it. He's too afraid that with the release of souls, he might have completely missed if someone he knew had died along with them.]

Kaldur. Please tell me you're alive and that hundreds of people didn't just die in your vicinity. I'd prefer it if you contacted me very soon.

[Video] August 9th early morning

[waterbearer]

[ Though Kaldur had been trying to check his locket reasonably frequently when he went out of doors where it functioned, the past few days have been extremely draining, and he often retires before nightfall, desperate for the solitude and the sleep.

It is not until the next morning that he recieves Nico's message and replies with due haste. ]

We are all fine, Nico. No deaths have occurred that I know of.

8/19;

[jaywalks]

[ new message for you, kaldur! ]

8/19; NOT HERE BECAUSE BIG DADDY? DRAGON

[waterbearer]

aw its adorable. kaldur will be the official teething ring

9/25; action

[bolincredible]

[ Hey Kal how's it going. Chilling in your healing tub and stuff huh yeah that sounds pretty usual for the current situation. Bolin's glad.

Not in the capacity where he's glad Kaldur was that bad off when he got back to the castle, but glad that he knows where to find him. He got a particularly fantastic boon this month, thank you very much, and even with everything that's been happening in the past few months, he's firmly the opposite of Mako's usual style in that he wants to show it off to about as many friends as possible. With notable enthusiasm.

Sssssso at some point in the lateish morning time slot, he pokes his head in just to make sure he's not gonna wake Kaldur up, and then pretty much bounds into the room to steal the closest chair like a pro, with a plain envelope in hand. All surveys say he totally hasn't bugged this guy enough. ]

Hey, Kaldur! How you feeling?

9/25; action

[waterbearer]

[ All surveys are correct, Kaldur has not been bugged enough, and with his forced confinement having reached a month at this point, he is valiantly trying not to go stir crazy. Bolin, with all his bright smiles and brash loudness is an overwhelmingly welcome surprise. ]

Better than I look, I am told, though I fear I will still not be up and about for another week yet.

[ He'd do it anyways, but he doesn't exactly want to be dragged back in by tiny little fairies because that would just be sort of pathetic. ]

I take it you have something exciting to share? [ He cocks his head towards the envelope. ]

10/7, text, locked down forever

[gordianknots]

Opened a location that may well be of interest to you (specifics are on the network.)

Let me know when you plan to swing by to ensure I'm home.

10/7, forever and ever and ever

[waterbearer]

That will depend on how and when the current madness between the courts resolves itself. But at least, by that time, my gift to you should be ready.

Marco?

[ translation: hi. ]

[ luke doesn't particularly want to talk to anyone. after the last few days, he's a little too exhausted to function. despite being the kid who can talk circles around the best politicians themselves, he finds his tongue is a little on the overworked side. but he pulls himself together enough to be able to locate kaldur within the system and send him a little privatised message. ]

[ after all, it's because of him he'd been able to snatch the moon from the clutches of the caves. the guy deserves a little celebratory mocking. ]

Fishy out of water?

voice » 15 oct.

[waterbearer]

Polo.

[ Kaldur knows this game. Maybe. Sorta.

Kaldur is very tired, but also very happy to be mobile again. Very soon, he suspects, he will be able to truly begin to rebuild all the lost flesh and muscle over the past month and a half. ]

You are doing well, I hope?

[ The moment that he could, Kaldur had asked to be sent home, insofar that Caer Glaem could be a home of a sort. HE will be heading out tomorrow regardless. He has a meeting to keep with Waver Velvet, and a prize to deliver. ]

Royal Hawk of the Maechenibryth »

[firith]

[ One of the ruddy hawks of the Southern Greenwood alights on a nearby window, branch or stone, screeching and flapping its wings. It has sharp eyes, like all from the Maechenibryth, but waits patiently to have the small scroll attached to its foot unravelled. It reads in looping Drabbish:

Invitation for Kaldur’ahm of Caer Glaem and Companion to the winter Yule festivities within I Othrann-in-Heneb, fortress of Thranduil Oropherion, Elvenking of the Maechenibryth.

To celebrate the holiday of the native Aelfen clans, all guests are welcome to remain within the mountainhome until from 25th December until early January for music and merriment. Bed and board provided. Please bring this invitation with you and make your way south along the forest river where marchwardens will find your party and act as escorts. To confirm attendance, please attach an appropriate message to the hawk. Alternatively, contact Thranduil via locket.

The hawk, if needed, will await a snack along with the RSVP before flying off. ]

[ The hawk is sent back with a large fish to snack on and a polite acceptance reply ]

[sangilak]

[ these customs are weird, but as the avatar, korra should be observant of them. SO, gifts are given! kaldur gets — delivered via fairy — a woven tassel with chinese coin and a slip of paper written with well wishes for the season in chinese characters. with it is a forearm guard with a whale tail seemingly carved into the metal. ]

around yule.

[chromosomes]

[ Delivered to Kaldur via fairy will be a set of dog tags with Kaldur's (full) name in Drabbish, English, and Greek and a ring of turquoise and mother of peal. ]

dec 26th.

[jaywalks]

[ along with a couple things of mako's homemade instant ramen "i'm in the woods, desperate and hungry and i have water i can boil" emergency rations, a fairy brings kaldur a knife in a bone sheath. in the metal of the blade is pressed a rune to keep it from rusting.

(if kal isn't abovewater, it'll be there on a rock when he gets back with a note signed "馬高" because mako's too lazy to practice writing his name in english.) ]

[brainiest]

[ Much like a few others, Hermione has asked the faeries to help her with delivering her presents. On the early morning of the 26th a small vial of potion will be left, a chain around it, with a small note; Just in case I'm not there. He'll also receive a small pouch with a charm on it, plus a note explaining what the charm does! ]

drive-by action » 24/12

[marred]

[ on christmas eve, kaldur will find a golden stone with snake marks embedded on it (courtesy of martha and george) inside a cane basket, along with a bottle of jack daniels and a conch shell. inside is a note, stating Figured you sometimes got a little lonely. Next Christmas, I'll get you a fish bowl. Maybe with actual fish. it's his way of saying thanks for believing in me, i still hate water. ]

Letter; Around the 1st; Don't need to reply if you don't wish to!

[knightscode]

[ The letter itself is written in clear, Celtic style lettering while the signature is in a different hand -- Lancelot had this transcribed. The seal is official, however, and if he has any doubts Lancelot will confirm it was him who sent it. ]

Marshal Lancelot to Kaldur and Dorian Gray;

Thank you for your interest in conducting this research. A few notes to help you -- I have just finished setting up a room which may be of use. In a council a month or so back Lord Kayneth El-Melloi and Lady Flora expressed an interest in a long term investigation into Drabwurld magic. This room was planned for them and Lady Hermione, along with anyone else they wished to recruit to the team. All of them have extensive skill and knowledge of their own world's magic.

All of them have their own keys to this room, and I have made a spare for the two of you to use. You may wish to liaise with them, and once you have compiled your notes please make sure they receive a copy. If you enjoy the experience I have no doubt they would appreciate continued assistance, but you are not obligated to do so.

[wolvering]

[Very early morning, and Pod is already up and dressed, cheery wave only broken up by a yawn.]

Kiga and I have returned to Caer Glaem! We've been since late in the night, but I'm sure anyone would forgive us a nap before venturing out to talk to people.

[She grins.] Kiga is quite the grump in the mornings when he hasn't had a good sleep.

[From the growling complaint, out of view and slightly to the left, the wolverine doesn't exactly agree.]

If you did wish to meet and talk, we don't have much else planned for today.

[A pause.] Oh, I hope this doesn't wake you!

dated to 1/6: locket | the latest ever sorry

[waterbearer]

Not at all!

[ Kaldur is, of course, in the library. His hours this past week have been... unique. ] I would be glad to meet with you in the library at your convenience.

Thank you again, Pod, for offering your help.

{{ so Kaldur is going to put up a log in a not-short amount of time, I can add in a part for Pod where they can talk about things, if that is cool with you? }}

january 13th, private text

[enthraller]

So I hear you have some talent in the way of wards. Would you be willing to use that talent for Redgate's sake?

january 13th, private text

[waterbearer]

Of course, if I can. Naturally, as part of my penance for the previous events at Redgate, officially. [ You know what he means, Sara. This one will need to be mostly off the books. ] I will soon be heading out towards the Barrel later, and have hopes of leaving there by the 20th or 21st at the latest.

Still, I have better research on wards than I do the magical ability to back them up. I can leave am edited copy of those notes with you, if you would like them. [ Can't give them everything he's done for Caer Glaem, after all. ]

[ with percy gone, clarisse needs an extra member to fill out her team. it just so happens that kaldur also has water abilities, but that's not entirely the reason he comes to mind (though it does come to mind eventually, and somewhat coincidentally). the heart of the reason is kaldur was there during the battle for the silmaril, fighting alongside her even if they weren't actually fighting literally alongside each other. clarisse had been so focused on celegorm then that she'd hardly paid much attention to anything else happening on the battlefield. ]

[ but it's the show of faith, the support for a trivial and meaningless war that could have been handled diplomatically if she hadn't still been trying to impress her father — be her father — that earns kaldur a position on her list of who she wants on her team. he'd been there for her once before, so it's now that she calls upon him again (though she hadn't technically called upon anyone before the battle for the silmaril). they've got to make up for the lack of kicking reynard's ass together, anyway. ]

Kaldur. It's Clarisse. Think we could talk in person? It's important.

I am currently away from Caer Glaem, but I will return as soon as possible.

[ Kaldur answers as promptly as he can. ]

La Llarona is ablaze. If you can do anything to mitigate this, or can get others to do so without risking yourself, please do so.

voice, via cigar case-net, late on the 7th

[waterbearer]

I am in the area. [ Because I was party to this remains unstated, but evident enough in his tone. ] I will see what I can do with the snow about as soon as I can. [ Somehow, he thinks most unseelie will shoot before asking questions if they see Seelie armour wandering about the forest. He'll have to lose it. And hopefully find some sort of shirt or cloak thick enough to hide the distinctive glow of his tattoos, even if they were obscured by set armour in battle. ]

christmas, 2701

[brainiest]

[ Much like her other friends, the box that Hermione sends has a charmed cloak, a charmed bag and set of potions to offer protection.

Kaldur also gets a beautiful blue scarf, charmed to be warm, and some notebooks and quills. ]

Yule

[oathshackledbird]

[Near Yule, a bottle of fine wine and several crystal goblets will be delivered to Kaldur's room. Along with them is a short note.]

My Fellow Knight,

We should get together to drink more often.

Be well until then,

Diarmuid Ua Duibhne

[If Diarmuid will actually be drinking wine or something else is up for debate, though...]

yule 2701.

[falconkick]

[ sam has been so busy funneling all of his time, effort, and money into getting the clinic up and running that by the time the spirit of the season rolls around ( or a season; he doesn't know shit about yule as a holiday, but it's close enough to christmas for him ), he figures there's really one thing he can do: give a little love.

CHARACTER NAME will find a basket of freshly made sam wilson baked goods, whatever THEY may have let slip as THEIR favorite over the last year, or something appropriately festive and silly if sam couldn't figure out anything specific. tied with a ribbon to the handle of the basket will be a handwritten note from sam, reading simply:

Three Reasons Why You Rock

1. LOOK HOW FULL AND COMPLETE THIS LIST IS
2. SO BOUNTIFUL AND FRESH i'm so sorry
3. You are still looking for the path you want to follow, which speaks volumes to how conscious and aware you are, and how much you care about what you're doing. You've got plenty of time to grow, young blood.

Let me know if you want some more!

Big ol' sloppy hugs and kisses,

S. Wilson

'more' could very easily mean more baked goods or more shameless compliments; both are equally possible with sam. it's all he's got in his bag this year, but it'll have to do for now. happy yule or christmas or whatever you're feelin' today, friend. ♥ ]

8/9, locket, voice

[dicktionary]

[ There's a pause before Dick speaks, and his voice is low, quiet. hoarse. ]

Kaldur? It's Robin. Dick. I'm back.

[ There's another long pause and his voice gets even quieter, possibly hard to hear. ]

I lost your amulet. I'm sorry. I'll do whatever it takes to get you another one.

8/13 (ten million years late please feel free to ignore)

[waterbearer]

[ Kaldur's first thought it one of burning anger. Who hurt you. Who hurt you when I could not help you. It is a protective fury that feeds off of his concern. But Dick is more important than his anger, more important than anything else. ]

Are you all right?

Dick, you don't have to apologize. Don't worry about the amulet. Please, tell me you are well.

[ Kaldur should have known, He had hoped, for Dick's sake, that Jason would have been kinder to his own family, but clearly Kaldur was mistaken.

It won't happen again. Jason should watch his back. ]
