Hey! It's your bodyguard from the rescue mission, if you don't remember my name. I just wanted to offer to help you learn how to shoot, since I remember you didn't really know how before.
FROM: gilbert.elena@cdc.org
I know how to use both guns and crossbows, so if you want me to teach you, we can start with whichever you like better!
Hey give me a break remembering's something I'm actually good at!
FROM: klim.sigma@cdc.org
But that would actually be really cool. That was like my first time holding a gun. Like hand to god I took it out of my bag and then you were there. It was not my finest hour
FROM: klim.sigma@cdc.org
I mean I already have some practice with the gun we should prob just stick to that. And crossbow sounds a little too van helsing for me tbh
np! figured it'd be better to come in here than add to an already insane inbox :)
Well, I just wasn't sure! I wanted to make sure you didn't think I was some weirdo stranger coming into your inbox to ask you if you needed training. :)
FROM: gilbert.elena@cdc.org
Yeah, I kind of thought so? Not that you were really incompetent or anything but you kind of had this look on your face that was like "oh wow what do I do with it". I figured you probably hadn't used one.
FROM: gilbert.elena@cdc.org
Gun it is! Although I'm a little offended, honestly, how dare you call my favorite weapon Van Helsing-y. And it's insensitive, too, I'm a vampire!
[ elena does not mean a word of that last text, but sometimes she likes to make people squirm. she'll chalk that down to damon's bad influence. plus it's better to get the vampire thing out of the way early, in case sigma has a problem with it. ]
and hey you get to break in my IC one, what an honor (8
Idk maybe the CDC had its own version of the tooth fairy for those of us who didn't take taekwondo as kids and by some stroke of luck I got you
FROM: klim.sigma@cdc.org
To my credit I did know that it was in fact for shooting things. I even knew how to make the bullets happen.
FROM: klim.sigma@cdc.org
Tho I ran into a little trouble w/ reloading and that was kind of inconvenient & terrifying so maybe we could start w/ that

[ She can't possibly be serious... Sure there are crazy aliens running rampant, but in the grand scheme of people he's met since arriving, they've all... seemed relatively human. Besides, vampires are straight up fiction. (As if aliens aren't back home.) ]
FROM: klim.sigma@cdc.org Define crazy Jk they're pretty chill actually. Also all really cute CDC's not so bad after all. Why, you got horror stories already?
[ Tadashi is in so much pain that he actually blacks out. When he wakes, he's still shaking and knows he needs help. His first thought should be for his rovermates, but the name that comes to mind is neither of theirs. Maybe it was because he'd helped Sigma not long ago, too. Or maybe it's because he doesn't want his rovermates to know what happened. ]
[The rooms on board the Neheda were never particularly spacious to begin with with, not for four people, but that didn't mean Korra couldn't try to fit her giant Polar Bear Dog inside. She wouldn't try it, except Naga wouldn't let Korra out of her sight since the moment they were reunited, and Korra didn't care much for leaving her old friend alone anyway. (Heck, she'd sleep out in the hall with Naga, if it came down to it.) The only problem is keeping her roommates from freaking out. She'll have to break the news gently.
After coaxing Naga to stay in the halls for a moment, Korra takes a deep breath, and opens the door to their room, hoping that nobody is around.
Not so much luck,]
Hey... Sigma.
[And if the look on her face wasn't a dead giveaway that she's hiding something, the large white Polar Bear Dog that noses in behind her, under her arm is probably a big enough indication. So much for breaking it gently.]
[ Break it gently. Come on, you say that like your roommates wouldn't be happy for you, being reunited with a buddy from home. ]
[ A very, very big friend. And while Sigma isn't entirely unaccustomed to the concept of larger pets (Piper, Courser, sane people with horses, et al.) it does, admittedly, catch him by surprise after he glances up from his spot on his bunk and properly realizes what's trying to burrow in underneath her arm. Especially when the largest non-human he's had the pleasure of rooming with hadn't been much bigger than an oversized lemur. ]
[ Not a bahari muzzle, but a big, wet, far more familiar-looking dog's nose. Except that the snout is about twice as big and attached to a creature most definitely hunching down to press up against Korra's side. ]
Hey—ello—!
[ He's not pulling his knees up a bit like a 50s housewife post-rat sighting or anything, what are you talking about. It was just a surprised twitch. ]
[roommates be damned, Korra can't help the smile the tugs at the edge of her mouth as Naga noses under her arm, and Sigma's eyes go wide. It's been rough, since the end of Macha, and Korra's sure she'll have second thoughts about having Naga under the CDC's control later, but for now, she's just incredibly relieved to have a familiar face back with her. And it helps that Sigma's not immediately calling for a polar-bear-skin rug as soon as he sees it.]
This? Is my best friend, Naga.
[What, haven't you ever seen a Polar Bear Dog before? Korra lifts an arm, allowing it to rest on top of Naga's head as she sniffs the air in the room.]
Say hello Naga.
[The polar bear dog lets out a snort, fixing Sigma with a bored expression. Anyone walking by in the hall would be likely to get whipped in the face by her wagging tail.]
[ Sigma had the decency to contact him last time shit went to hell, so it's only fair he does the same after they blow the popsicle stand formerly known as Macha.
Also, maybe he's in a terrible mood and needs a solid distraction, who knows. ]
FROM: kirstein.jean@cdc.org You didn't get left planetside, did you?
[ So is solid distraction a euphemism for the sick masochism that is willingly subjecting himself to possibly one of the most annoying people he knows? ]
FROM: klim.sigma@cdc.org Not as far as I'm aware
[ Which, given Sigma's tendencies, is a much more literal answer than intended, but if he blew up, he doesn't remember it. Small comforts. ]
