[Counter to her last post, Mary is calm, composed, put-together, an iron look of determination in her eyes.]

If you've called someone and gotten their voicemail in the past three days, you need to comment here and tell me who it was.

I don't care if you think they got sent home, if they have an alibi, if they're supposed to be on a week-long vision quest, I don't care. If there's someone, anyone who you can't get ahold of and isn't absolutely definitely accounted for-

[Mary stops, folds, unfolds her hands. When her sleeve pulls back slightly, you can see a pair of handcuffs around one wrist.]

There might be another Hunt going on. We have to figure out now how many people are missing. Rationalizing where they might be, telling yourself it's not a big deal- forget that. We don't have time to second-guess.

I'm starting the list with Yosuke, Bigby Wolf, and Jesse Turner.

[Her hands are shaking a little. She grits her teeth slightly.]

Michael, everyone from last time- if you know where the grounds are, please. We need to stop this.

I am. He's a hero to the people of my world. I come from his future, by about seventy years.

Good.

Korra, there are people here with the power to do anything. If your powers are gone because of something in you, I know people who could help. Would you be willing to ask the whole city?

[She has no hopes for Korra being fixed in time to bring the pain come morning, but in case there's a next time...]

My best friend is in that pit. I'll do anything to get him out.

Trying to restore your power by tomorrow morning might be a bit much, but if you're willing to try-

Honestly, I can't do anything to help you. All I know is people, and I've asked a lot of them lately.

I know how you're feeling. I died in that pit. But don't do anything you normally wouldn't.

I-- I said I'd do anything, all right? I promised myself I would protect Bolin, and there are so many other people who've been hurt...

If you know someone who can help me, I'll go to them today.

I know- I know people who might be able to help. I know for a fact that someone here has to be able to.

[She runs a hand through her hair, visibly stressed. This is not how this conversation was supposed to go.]

The people I know- I can't just ask them to do things for me all the time. They're already helping me today by looking for the missing people.

If- if you make a post asking about it, someone else might-? I'm sorry, Korra, I shouldn't have said anything.

[She gets out a cigarette and lights it with shaking hands.]

No, it's okay, Mary. I'll ask around; you shouldn't have to owe any more favors so I can get my power back.

Who are some of the people I should ask in particular? I won't tell them it was you who gave me their names.

Uh- [She holds the cigarette so tight it breaks in half.]

I don't know if...

The person I'm thinking of- he's done a lot for me. He's putting himself in danger tonight because I asked him for help, and he- he has a dangerous, psychotic brother who gets offended when we- lowly humans ask for help from their kind. He sees it as using them. This brother will blame me if the person who can help you gets hurt tonight.

I don't think I should have said anything.

If you want- ask for magic users. Anyone who can do magic or have powers with spirit or energy. That's probably a good bet.

I'm so sorry, Korra- for getting your hopes up. I'm not thinking clearly today.

[Korra's face falls, expression grim. That's one less lead to follow. One less possibility.]

None of us are thinking clearly. Forget about it.
