You can't go forward if you keep looking back.

[First point to notice: Luke, looking a little worse for wear after two weeks of having to avoid towns. He hasn't eaten or slept that well, and it shows. Second, there's a Skarmory, that some might recognize as Korra's Tenzin, looming over him. He feels safe enough to make this message now that the police warrant has expired.]

Um. I can't call Korra anymore, I don't know why. I got her Skarmory, so uh, Korra, if you want him back, let me know...

[He trails off, having the grace to look ashamed a little. Before he can shut off the feed, there's a whuffling noise behind him, and Luke turns to see a young Stantler calf nuzzling at his hair. A flash of wild irritation crosses his features, and he turns to swat the beast out of the way.

Bad move.

The baby wails unhappily, and out bursts momma, looking furious. A look of horror comes over Luke's face before the big female gathers up a huge, angry burst of power and shakes her antlers just so--there's a flash of light--the 'gear feed flickers.]

[When it comes back on again, Luke is looking down at the screen, eyes blank, despondent, like someone who's just forgotten what they were about to do. Tenzin the Skarmory squawks worriedly.]

This cake looks really tasty...




[[ooc: Luke is now (temporarily) hypnotically suggestible, so take advantage before he eats the gear! He'll have a very hard time doing things he actively doesn't want to do, but he can be convinced with some talking; he can't be made to walk for more than a few metres or do anything too straining physically before he snaps out of it. (I know it's no like real hypnotism but whatever, it's caused by magical hypnodeers.) The words 'Korra' and 'Olivine' will snap him out of it.]]
