Chat: krew <3 [Asami, Bolin, Korra, Mako, Opal]
Wednesday, 5:02 pm
Mako: Does anyone have the notes from criminology today? I had a doctor’s appointment and I missed class
5:21 pm
Korra: OMG ASJDL
Korra: BOLIN
Bolin: I KNOW
Korra: Who do you think it is?? Do you think it’s Beifong???
Bolin: I WANT TO BELIEVE IT IS
Korra: I feel like we need more EVIDENCE tho
Asami: Must you do this in the groupchat?
Opal: Wait what’s happening?
Korra: Okay, so
Korra: Kya is engaged
Opal: Your bio prof? That’s so sweet!
Mako: Isn’t it a little disrespectful to just call her Kya?
Korra: She told us to call her that idek her last name
Korra: What would you be more comfy if I called her prof Kya
Mako: I guess?
Korra: I’m not going to do that
Korra: ANYWAY Kya is sUCH an oversharer Bolin and I have been showing up ten minutes early to her lectures to chat to her bc she’s really interesting right
Korra: And we know that she’s dating another prof AND they recently got engaged
Bolin: She never has actually shared her fiancees name but we have been snooping and we have a theory
Korra: We think it’s professor Beifong
Opal: What???
Asami: I still think it just sounds like a conspiracy theory
Asami: Have you ever once seen them interact?
Korra: No but we have evidence
Korra: one, Kya is the biggest oversharer on the planet right? But she’s never told us her fiancees name
Korra: like she even told us about the vacation she took with her first girlfriend and first girlfriend’s name and everything so the only reason I can assume she wouldn’t tell us who her fiancée is outright is if they were someone who wanted to keep it private
Korra: and who is the most private prof we’ve ever met? BEIFONG
Asami: Okay but there are a ton of teachers at RCU, I’m sure prof Beifong isn’t the only one who likes to keep their life private from students
Bolin: But we have other evidence tho
Bolin: We know they have to know each other because their parents were really good friends
Opal: Their parents?? How do you know that?
Bolin: Like Korra said, Kya overshares a lot
Bolin: But she and prof Beifong have known each other since they were kids
Asami: All that tells you is that they know each other
Korra: Bolin and I are literally the only two that are in both prof Beifong’s class and Kya’s class it’s not our fault we have to try and solve the mystery ourselves
Korra: If you hadn’t DROPPED bio Asami you could help us figure it out but now you just have to suffer through us doing it from a distance
Asami: I had like six labs a week I couldn’t handle bio anymore sue me
Asami: It was an elective anyways
Korra: Excuses excuses
Bolin: Also Beifong has been so much happier than normal the past couple lectures
Mako: She has?
Korra: YEAH she hasn’t yelled at me in either of our classes this week she just kind of glared in my general direction
Korra: Pretty sure that’s basically jumping off the ceiling for her
Asami: You mean bouncing off the walls?
Korra: Yeah that
Bolin: So to summarize:
Bolin: 1) Kya’s fiancée teaches at RCU
Bolin: 2) Kya is a huge oversharer but she hasn’t overshared her fiancees name which is objectively suspicious
Bolin: 3) We know she and prof Beifong have known each other since literal childhood
Bolin: 4) Prof Beifong has been slightly less anal for the past week
Asami: It’s a reach is all I’m saying
Korra: All we need is a little more time
Korra: We’re going to get to the bottom of this
Asami: I don’t doubt it
Asami: Just try not to get expelled along the way
Korra: No promises 😉
6:33 pm
Mako: So can anyone send me the notes from criminology today?

Friday, 11:06 am
Korra renamed the chat: Mako is a fucking buzzkill
Mako: ???
Mako: What did I do?
Korra: You RUINED our recon attempt
Asami: Guys can you shut up I’m in class
Korra: You can mute your phone you know
Asami: Wait srsly?
Korra: Asami you’re literally an engineering major
Asami: Shhhhh
Mako: Why am I a buzzkill?
Korra: Bolin and I planned out some very specific hypothetical questions to ask Beifong in which we hoped she’d be forced to mention her loved ones proving to us that she is in fact engaged to Kya!!
Korra: And you ruined it by using up all her question time before she kicked us all out
Mako: I was asking her about the notes I missed last class since no one would send them to me
Mako: She told me I was responsible for getting the notes so can someone please send them to me?

Bolin: Tell me what you think this is
Bolin: [attachment: image239182.jpg]
Asami: uh
Asami: A picture of the inside of your mouth
Korra: You need to brush better
Bolin: Oh shoot
Bolin: Wrong photo
Bolin: I was trying to see if I had cavities
Korra: I think you should see a dentist
Asami: You couldn’t use a mirror for that?
Bolin: No because I needed to really see in there and I don’t have a mirror that’s small enough to fit in my mouth
Korra: That’s a real shame Bolin
Asami: Why wouldn’t you delete the photo though?
Bolin: I tried, it’s on the iCloud and I can’t figure out how to get it off
Opal: Babe
Opal: The photo?
Bolin: Oh right
Bolin: [attachment: image223202.jpg]
Bolin: What does THIS look like to you?
Asami: an extremely blurry picture of someone’s hand?
Korra: who is that
Bolin: KORRA!
Bolin: ITS BEIFONG!
Korra: Her hand??
Asami: Are you allowed to take photos of your professors? I feel like she’d be against that
Bolin: it’s just her hand
Opal: Are you sure that’s a hand?
Bolin: Oh my god
Bolin: look what’s ON her hand
Korra: …what?
Asami: wait which way is up in that picture
Bolin: GUYS
Bolin: It’s an ENGAGEMENT RING
Asami: Is it?
Korra: Ohh wait I do see how that could be a ring
Asami: Even if it is I don’t think that’s on her ring finger
Asami: It looks like her middle finger
Korra: No, it’s her pointer finger I think
Bolin: guuyyssss
Opal: Wait is that her left or right hand that might help
Opal: and why does her one finger look like that??
Asami: I think that’s a piece of chalk that she’s holding
Opal: Oh yeah I see it now
Opal: So if that’s chalk and she’s writing with it is she left handed or right handed? Because then we could tell if that’s her right hand or left hand
Asami: Wait, but isn’t Kya from the SWT? If she and Beifong really were engaged wouldn’t Beifong be more likely to have a betrothal necklace than an engagement ring?
Bolin: That would give it away right away though, the engagement ring is more subtle
Asami: You two are the only ones trying to sus them out, idk what reason they’d have to be subtle
Korra: Bolin when I asked you to do some recon I expected better from you
Bolin: No one appreciates me 🥺🥺
Opal: I appreciate you!
Bolin: That doesn’t count, you’re like legally required to
Opal: are you saying I don’t count
Bolin: wait no
Bolin: opal
Bolin: Please don’t break up with me I love you babe
Bolin: Baby
Korra: Infant
Asami: Child
Opal: Fetus
7:13 pm

Bolin renamed the chat: Bolin is traumatized and leaving the friend group
Opal: Uh, something happen?
Korra: Bolin for fucks sake
Korra: Not in the main chat
Bolin: No I think everyone else needs to share my trauma
Asami: Oh my god
Asami: I’m literally going to die
Mako: What’s going on? I was almost asleep
Korra: It’s only 12 and it’s Saturday why were you going to sleep??
Mako: technically it’s Sunday because it’s 12:11
Korra: Oh my god whatever
Bolin: Pls guys my trauma
Opal: I’m listening Bolin
Korra: No Opal, cover your ears
Bolin: Yes Opal open your ears
Opal: open my ears?
Bolin: yes
Bolin: I went over to Korra and Asami’s dorm to see if they wanted to hang and no one answered the door when I knocked so I peeked in
Bolin: and they
Bolin: were
Bolin: GROPING EACH OTHER
Asami: We were not GROPING each other
Korra: Speak for yourself 😏
Bolin: JUST MAKING OUT in pLAIN VIEW
Asami: Not helpful Korra
Asami: You were the one who came into our dorm without anyone letting you in
Bolin: MY POOR EYES
Korra: Oh whatever we’ve been sneaking around for long enough anyways
Bolin: This isn’t the first time???? GUYS??
Bolin: All this time we’ve been trying to figure out if Kya and Beifong are together and there’s been another secret relationship right under our noses???
Bolin: You guys are ROOMMATES
Opal: and they were roommates!
Mako: Oh my god they were roommates
Opal: Wait Mako how do you fit into all this I thought you and Asami were dating
Bolin: I thought Mako and Korra were dating??
Mako: uh not that I am aware of
Korra: Oh my god
Korra: Asami and I are dating and Mako is dating no one okay
Korra: right Mako?
Mako: uh
Asami: You’re dating someone Mako???
Mako: No! I’m not dating anyone
Korra: Why did you say ‘uh’ then
Mako: I was confused
Asami: You were confused about whether you’re dating anyone?
Korra: that’s kind of sus Mako
Mako: Why does this text chain always turn into bullying Mako
Korra: because Mako is fun to bully
Bolin renamed the chat: Bolin is getting over his trauma and is actually getting kind of into the idea of Korra and Asami together
Korra: Bolin ew
Asami: Well that’s the last time we leave our dorm unlocked
Bolin: I DIDN’T MEAN IT LIKE THAT
Bolin renamed the chat: Bolin is very SUPPORTIVE of Korra and Asami because they are his best friends not for any weird reasons
Korra: much better bo
Opal: But you guys are together!? That’s so cute omg
Opal: I’m so happy for you
Asami: Thanks Opal xx
Mako: Yeah, congrats
Korra: Thank you for your congratulations Mako
Mako: shut up
Bolin: Okay that is all you guys can go back to making out now 😃
Korra: That was creepy
Bolin: How??
Korra: The emoji made it creepy
Bolin: But it’s a cute emoji
Bolin: It’s a smiley face
Korra: It’s a creepy emoji and it’s staring at me with its cold dead eyes
Korra: I wanna watch you make out 😃😃😃😃😃😃

Mako: I’m going to bed goodnight guys

Tuesday, 2:15 pm
Bolin: Okay before you say anything I am not a stalker BUT
Asami: I already hate where this is going
Bolin: Asami shh
Bolin: It’s not that bad
Bolin: I just may have managed to acquire professor Beifong’s phone number is all
Asami: Well that’s even worse than I imagined
Korra: Bolin no WAY
Korra: How did you pull that
Bolin: Ask me no questions and I will tell no lies
Asami: That’s very ominous
Bolin: I just mean I don’t have time to get into it right now
Bolin: I’ll explain later okay
Bolin: What’s important is I HAVE it
Korra: Now we just have to figure out what to do with it
Bolin: I thought we would just text her
Asami: Text her what? ‘Oh hi prof Beifong, I stalked you to find your number, would you mind telling me whether you’re engaged to our other prof before I go insane’?
Bolin: Well it sounds creepy when you say it like THAT
Asami: HOW ELSE WOULD YOU SAY IT
Korra: We need to be sneaky about it
Mako: This seems really ethically questionable
Korra: Shut up Mako
Korra: How could we ask her about her relationships without it seeming suspicious?
Asami: You could pretend it’s for a school project?
Korra: What kind of school project would involve asking professors about their marital status?
Asami: Oh wait I know
Asami: We can pretend we’re doing a survey
Asami: I have a good idea I’m going to call you hang on
Korra: I love how invested in this you are now
Video Call from Asami [26 minutes 32 seconds] – Asami, Korra
Korra: Okay Asami is a genius
Asami: It’s perfect
Bolin: Wait I didn’t hear the plan
Opal: I was in econ would you be able to go over it again?
Video Call from Bolin [13 minutes 56 seconds] – Asami, Bolin, Korra, Opal
Bolin: So we’ll do it on Thursday?
Asami: Yeah sounds good
Korra: I can send the messages
Korra: So we pretend it’s like a randomized survey?
Asami: Yeah I think so
Asami: Unless she catches on or something then we might have to change the narrative but we can do that at the time if it comes down to it
Bolin: Are we creating a new groupchat for that?
Korra: Yeah we should we don’t want prof Beifong in our main gc
Korra renamed the chat: operation expose kyalin
Opal: what is kyalin?
Korra: Ship name!!

Thursday, 6:55 pm
Korra: Ready guys?
Mako: I still don’t want to be dragged into this
Korra: Too bad, suck it up
Korra has added Lin Beifong to the chat
Korra: Good evening Professor Beifong

Korra: asdlaskdjfjlkah
Korra: GUYS
Korra: SHE RESPONDED
Korra: WHAT DO I SAY
Asami: Go answer her!

Mako: “Good evening”?
Korra: I panicked okay
Chat: Relationship Demographics Survey [Asami, Bolin, Korra, Lin Beifong, Mako, Opal]
8:25pm
Korra: Ms. Beifong, we are doing a survey to create a statistical analysis of relationship dynamics across your age demographic, and we have a couple questions for you.
Lin Beifong: Do I know you? Is this a student run thing?
Chat: operation expose kyalin [Asami, Bolin, Korra, Mako, Opal]
Korra: Guys what do I sayyyyyyy
Korra: Asami help
Asami: ffs
Chat: Relationship Demographics Survey [Asami, Bolin, Korra, Lin Beifong, Mako, Opal]
Asami: Yes, we are gathering data for a statistical analysis project exploring the generational gaps in relationship dynamics and diversity. If you have a moment, we have a few short questions regarding the nature of your platonic and romantic relationships
Lin Beifong: Those seem like very personal questions.
Asami: I assure you, all results would be anonymous
Lin Beifong: Shouldn’t the survey be anonymous, then? How did you even get this number?
Asami: We were given a roster of professors’ phone numbers to contact for the purposes of our survey
Asami: There are only a few short questions if you have a minute to spare and the data would remain anonymous on our reports
Lin Beifong: Who gave you that roster? I’d like to have a firm word with them about giving out professors’ personal phone numbers. This is a very serious breach of privacy.
Korra: Shit this is going terribly
Korra: Should we abort?
Lin Beifong: Excuse me?
Korra: oh no
Korra: wrong chat
Lin Beifong: Would someone care to explain what is going on here? Who is this and how did you get this number?
Bolin: uhhhhh
Asami: Okay well there’s a bit of a conspiracy theory involved…
Korra: ASAMI
Korra: Don’t expose us
Lin Beifong: Asami? As in Asami Sato?
Asami: Shit fuck
Lin Beifong: That is hardly appropriate language.
Asami: motherfucker
Asami: goddammit Korra
Lin Beifong: Korra?
Asami: oh no
Asami has left the chat
Korra: Oh absolutely not
Korra has added Asami to the chat
Korra: You are here for moral support or I am breaking up with you
Asami: this is a shit show
Lin Beifong: What the hell is going on here?
Bolin: I’m so sorry prof Beifong see it’s kind of a long story some of us are in your criminology class and then some of us are also in another class and we got suspicious and it was a bad idea overall
Lin Beifong: Excuse me?
Asami: Professor Beifong, I really do apologize. Some of my friends just have this ridiculous conspiracy theory about you and insisted on finding the most roundabout away to try and prove it
Lin Beifong: What on earth is this conspiracy theory?
Asami: Well you see, they’re in BIOL 1412 with Professor Kya who recently got engaged and they’re convinced that she’s engaged to you
Korra: Asami!!
Asami: … Professor Beifong?
Lin Beifong has left the chat
Korra: WHAT
Korra: THAT BASICALLY PROVES IT
Asami: How?? You probably just offended her so much she left the chat
Korra: No no
Korra: If she was offended she would have gone with ‘where the hell would you possibly get that idea? this behaviour is unacceptable’ blah blah
Korra: No she got freaked out and left the chat because we were RIGHT
Asami: Idk Korra
Asami: That was a total disaster
Mako: Why are you guys so convinced that they’re gay anyway?
Korra: um OKAY Mako
Bolin: I feel like asking that was a mistake Mako
Korra: Well first we know that Kya is because she’s told us
Korra: As for prof Beifong she just has the vibe
Asami: She does have the vibe
Mako: The vibe?
Korra: Some people just have a gay vibe
Korra: They make the gaydar go clangalangalang
Korra: Not that you’d get that you are painfully straight Mako
Asami: lollll
Korra: I mean unless you’re secretly fucking Wu on the side lmaoooo
Opal: You good Mako?
Opal: You’ve started typing four times now
Mako has left the chat
Korra: No way
Korra: That was a JOKE
Asami: You don’t think he’s actually…
Korra: no
Korra: no… we must have just freaked him out
Korra: right?
Korra: RIGHT???
Bolin: I’m—
Bolin renamed the chat: wuko????
Asami: Should we move back to the main chat? This one is a bit of train wreck and I think we should kill it while we still can
Korra: Mood

Chat: operation expose kyalin [Asami, Bolin, Korra, Mako, Opal]
Friday, 11:12 am
Korra: well that was officially awful
Mako: What did she want?
Korra: Basically to lecture me about my inappropriate behaviour and the need to respect professors as your superiors and respect their privacy blah blah blah
Korra: Worst part is she only knows me and Asami were involved so Bolin got off scot-free
Mako: And me
Korra: Okay but you weren’t really involved
Korra: I can’t believe Asami and I got exposed tho
Mako: You exposed each other…
Asami: I panicked okay
Asami: Are you in trouble Korra? I feel really bad
Korra: No it’s fine she let me off with a warning
Korra: Like she lectured me but she seemed kind of flustered too
Korra: and then at the end she dismissed me and then was like wait and I turned back around and she was like ‘you’re dating Asami Sato?’
Korra: and I was like ‘yeah’ and she just nodded at me like she was impressed and then I left so idk what that was about
Asami: Aw well I am impressive
Bolin: Korra I’m so sorry flkaslda I should have told her I was involved too
Bolin: I should have been by your side
Bolin: I just got freaked out she’s really scary
Korra: It’s fine really nothing bad happened
Korra: If you also had to endure the lecture you probably would have cried and that would have made it worse
Bolin: tru
Opal: I feel like prof Beifong is secretly a big softie
Mako: Why would you think that
Opal: idk she just has the vibes
Mako: not vibes again
Bolin: vibes
Korra: vibezzz
Mako has left the chat
Korra has added Mako to the chat
Korra: no
Mako: ugh fine
Asami: lmao

Tuesday, 3:16 pm
Mako: I would like to state for the record that I still think all of this is stupid
Mako: But I did see something that may interest you all when I was coming out of the library today
Korra: I’m still not going to join the grammar workshop with you sorry Mako not to be dramatic but I would rather die
Mako: Not that
Mako: Though it would mean you could stop sending me your essays to edit
Korra: why would I bother tho
Korra: you’re so good at it
Korra: you know how to use semicolons?? nobody knows how to use semicolons
Mako: You would if you did the grammar workshop
Korra: no ❤️
Opal: What did you see Mako?
Mako: I witnessed an actual interaction between Kya and Professor Beifong
Korra: NO WAY
Asami: Oh wow
Bolin: I feel that is something you don’t see very often
Bolin: Like obviously they’re engaged but for some reason they never seem to be in the same place at the same time
Bolin: Despite the fact that they are engaged and have known each other since childhood and work at the same university
Korra: That’s what makes it fun it’s like bigfoot sightings
Mako: This is why I think you’re all reaching
Korra: Um no we’re all just on some genius level shit
Mako: If you were actually on drugs that would explain a lot
Korra: Excuse you I am on barely any drugs
Opal: What
Asami: So what actually happened Mako?
Mako: It wasn’t a crazy interaction Kya was just bringing prof Beifong coffee I think
Korra: And?? what did they say??
Mako: I wasn’t eavesdropping
Korra: Are you sure?
Mako: Okay fine
Mako: Kya said “hey, I brought you coffee” and Prof Beifong said something like “thank god” I’m not sure I didn’t quite catch it and then Kya laughed and went “long day?” and Beifong said “you have no idea” and Kya said “well I have to go my next class starts in 10 minutes but I’ll see you later” and then she kind of tapped prof Beifong on the back and left
Mako: Like I said it was a pretty tame interaction but I thought you all might want to hear about it to feed your insanity
Korra: Okay that doesn’t sound tame that sounds chARGED
Korra: Bringing coffee is not a casual colleagues thing that’s definitely a fiancees type thing
Asami: Elaborate on the back touch
Asami: Like was it a casual sort of cuff on the shoulder or was it like a lower back caress sort of thing
Mako: uhh does it matter?
Asami: Of course it matters! They mean very different things
Mako: The second one I guess?
Korra: Describe exactly how it happened
Mako: This feels weird
Bolin: Mako I stg
Mako: Okay fine fine
Mako: It was like uh
Mako: Kya put her hand on the small of prof Beifong’s back and let it linger there for a second while they said goodbye
Korra: Did she like pull it off really slowly as she left like she was trying to maintain contact for as long as possible?
Mako: Uh I guess
Mako: I wasn’t looking that closely at her hand I’m not a creep
Korra: oh my GOD
Asami: huh
Asami: I think that’s definitely the most compelling evidence I’ve seen so far
Mako: Really?
Korra: Seriously? you’re gonna believe Mako over me??
Asami: I’m just saying most of this is a stretch but you can’t fake a tender back touch moment
Asami: Also Mako has no stake in any of this which makes him more believable
Korra: all of this is true
Bolin: We should add it to the list
Mako: List?
Bolin: I have a list of evidence on my phone that Kya’s fiancee is prof Beifong
Mako: I regret getting involved at all
Korra: No really Mako that was very helpful
Korra: Thank you for being a creep for our sakes
Mako: Opal you are the only sane person in this group chat
Opal: Idk about that I’m dating Bolin
Mako: Point
Bolin: HEY
Opal: Oh hey now that I think about it I walk past Kya going in the other direction most days when I’m walking to lunch
Opal: She always has takeout and she definitely could be heading towards the building where you all have criminology, so maybe she and prof Beifong do lunch everyday
Mako: Not you too
Korra: That’s DEFINITELY what’s happening Bolin add it to the list
Bolin: On it!

Korra: Oh my god GUYS
Korra: I just a revelation
Korra: I know how we can figure out who Kya is engaged to!!
Bolin: you DO????
Bolin: HOW
Korra: Okay in Kya’s class today she got off on this tangent about her family and she was talking about her brother and her nieces and nephews and I reALIZED
Korra: I KNOW HER BROTHER
Korra: I USED TO BABYSIT HIS KIDS
Korra: His oldest daughter Jinora is like 15 now I follow her on Instagram
Asami: omg
Korra: Like?? Jinora will totally know who her aunt is engaged to I can just ask her
Asami: So you’re going to slide into a tenth grader’s DMs just to ask who her aunt is engaged to?
Korra: Please I’ll be subtle about it
Korra: I’ll just say that I’m in Kya’s class and she mentioned their family which made me want to check in
Korra: It’s not even a lie I love Jinora she’s like a little cousin to me
Bolin: This might actually work!!
Korra: Of course it will it’s genius
Opal: Oh I know Jinora she’s the sweetest! I didn’t realize she was related to Kya
Korra: Isn’t she? I’m going to DM her I’ll update you guys
DM: Korra (@avatarkorra), Jinora (@jinora_06)
FRI 9:31 PM
Korra: Hey Jinora, how’s it going?
Jinora: Hi Korra! Things are really good around here, how are you?? It’s been so long since we’ve talked!
Korra: I know it’s a shame you got too old to be babysat anymore
Jinora: Haha yeah now it’s my job to babysit the other three
Korra: Ikki must be about 12 now though?
Jinora: She is! Dad still refuses to let her look after Meelo and Rohan on her own tho
Korra: Wise man
Korra: Yeah actually I’m in one of your aunt Kya’s classes at university this year! She mentioned you guys in lecture today and it reminded me to get in touch again
Jinora: Oh yeah I forgot she teaches at your university! I hope she’s a good teacher!
Korra: She’s one of my favorites! Me and my friend Bolin chat to her at the beginning of class all the time
Korra: She recently got engaged right? Her fiancees name slipped my mind tho
Jinora: Yes, to auntie Lin! She’s the best
Korra: Lin??
Jinora: Lin Beifong yeah
Jinora: I think she teaches at your university too?
Jinora: Korra?
Korra: I’m sorry I think I just went into respiratory failure
Jinora: ??
Korra: So your aunt Kya is engaged to Lin Beifong?? Who teaches at RCU?
Jinora: Yeah I think she teaches law?
Korra: Criminology
Korra: I’m in one of her classes too
Jinora: Oh cool! I thought she was kind of scary at first but she’s actually really nice
Jinora: Did you know she dated my dad before I was born? Apparently my mom broke them up and then they barely spoke for like twelve years but they made up when she started dating auntie Kya
Korra: omg
Korra: I did not know that no
Jinora: Auntie Kya is definitely a better match for her in my opinion haha
Korra: I can imagine lol
Korra: We should hang out sometime soon!
Jinora: Definitely!
Jinora: Maybe I’ll tell dad to invite you to dinner sometime soon! We have auntie Kya and Lin over every other Saturday and it would be fun if you came over on one of those too!
Korra: That does sound fun
Korra: That sounds very very entertaining
Jinora: Awesome! I’ll talk to dad about it
Jinora: Lovely to talk to you xx

Korra: Question for anyone who remembers anything after about 12am
Korra: Why is there a giant gift basket on our floor?
Opal: Oh lmaooo
Opal: We went out and bought it for prof Beifong and Kya
Opal: As like a congratulatory gift I guess
Bolin: wahsahappning?/
Korra: HAHAHA did we really?
Korra: It’s maybe sort of coming back to me now
Korra: Did we meet a very nice dog outside the grocery store?
Opal: Yeah and then Bolin threw up in a bush
Korra: riiiight
Mako: You are all idiots
Korra: That thing is huge! Who paid for it??
Korra: You’re the one with the big credit card Asami so probably you
Korra: Also use your own phone
Korra: But yours is so much closer
Korra: And sharing is caring :))
Bolin: ughhh I have suh a bad headahe
Opal: I’m honestly surprised you’re alive
Bolin: [attachment: image123882.jpg]
Bolin: fu
Bolin: that was an accident
Opal: you look very hot sweetie
Opal: especially love the pillow creases on your cheek
Korra: You look like you slept in a hurricane
Korra: [attachment: image453203.jpg]
Korra: KORRA NO I look awful
Opal: Aw Asami your hair
Korra: Thank you opal I try
Korra: Haha it looks like you stuck your head out an airplane window
Korra: shut up
Korra: Asami is going to investigate the gift basket
Korra: She is leaving me alone in bed which is rude
Asami: There’s a card attached
Asami: [attachment: image772314.jpg]
Bolin: jsffjkk HAHAH
Opal: What does it say? I’m having a hard time reading the writing
Korra: Oh I wrote that first part
Korra: It says ‘dear to profesos, congratualions on your engagement, we are very extremely and excited that you are engaged because you are our favorite profsse and we love you very vey very very much and I am going to eat dinner with you soon lots of love go get hitched bitchesss’
Asami: the next part is me
Asami: ‘I am very sorry about all the relationship survey. It was mostly my idea because I am the smartest and of the group. I am sorry I said motherfucker and also shit to a professor but in my defence I was very freaked out because you ruined our plans. Oh yeah congrats on engaging to marriage.’
Korra: Why is your writing still beautiful when you’re absolutely hammered?
Opal: Yeah that one is actually legible
Opal: Whatever chicken scratch Bolin wrote means nothing to me
Bolin: Yeah I can barely read that either
Bolin: I think it says something like ‘you are very scary and I am still a bit afraid of you but good job on marriage many blessings may it make you less scary’
Asami: Opal just wrote ‘crongrats! I love weddings’
Asami: and then it’s signed by all of us
Asami: except mako I think we had lost him by that point
Mako: I went to bed when you decided that it was a good idea to take a midnight field trip to the grocery store
Opal: Fair
Asami: Okay but card aside this gift basket is actually nice we should give it to them for real
Korra: OR we could eat it ourselves
Korra: KIDDING stop glaring at me
Opal: We should write a new card tho
Opal: any ideas?
Asami: Hm well I don’t think we should sign our names
Asami: I’ll just write something nice and generic like “Dear professor Beifong, congratulations on your engagement, we wish you all the best and many happy returns.”
Korra: Sign it ‘love, your favorite students’
Asami: [attachment: image231909]
Asami: How’s this?
Opal: Lovely!
Bolin: That’s so cuteeeee
Korra: We’ll drop it off in her office on Monday morning
Korra: Or maybe just sneak it into the lecture hall before the class gets there
Bolin: good plan
Bolin: I think I’m going back to bed
Korra: Mood
Korra: Opal you want to get lunch with us? I’m thinking something greasy
Opal: Ooh yes PLEASE
Mako: Can I come?

Lin: [attachment: image777652.jpg]
Lin: Look what I found on my desk this morning.
Kya: Hahaha, those little sneaks. I guess they finally worked it out with all my hints.
Kya: That’s very generous of them, too.
Lin: Once again proof that becoming a university professor was somehow simultaneously the best and worst decision of my life.
Kya: Definitely the best. :)
Lin: You’re probably right.
Kya: I usually am.
