[Video] ...What IS gasoline? What's it made of? [Locked to Gunmax/Deckerd/McCrane/Brave Police]

[not_halfbaked]

 In my world, I know it can make Satomobiles or cars and Satocycles and mopeds move...but that's it.

I never thought about what makes it up.

So...what's inside it?

And, huh, where does gas normally come from anyway?  I think it has to be put into vehicles, right?  So then it must come from somewhere else...?

I guess that's all anyone can really do...

Um, what kind of things do you do to hold up that order, exactly? Does your world have gangs too?

[patokichi]

Well, we're essentially police detectives. We do have gangs, criminals, people who steal or want to cause harm to others. We fight to do our best to solve cases and arrest those people.

[not_halfbaked]

Like the metalbender cops back home--except you're actually made of metal!

[Korra snickers.]

[patokichi]

Metal... benders...

[THAT SOUNDS PAINFUL.]

[not_halfbaked]

[Korra remembers Slipstream, and realizes what she just said.]

Metalbending only works on metal that has any earth minerals in it, and the cops would never bend a living person! Chief Bei Fong wouldn't allow that, ever!

[But Bei Fong had resigned as chief. And Korra never thought the cops would use their bending against innocent people either. Korra's distressed faces grows, but she tries to hide it.]

[patokichi]

Well they could certainly bend me, then.

[AHAHAH uhg. It reminds him of the Hamelin. He shudders to think what someone would be capable of.]

That is... fortunate that they would not.

[not_halfbaked]

[OOC: Hamelin?]

Well, either way, there aren't any metalbenders here. Not even me, I don't really know how to metalbend.

[patokichi]

[ooc: WOOPS you know what that didn't happen in his canon yet. It's a device that controls robots- BUT WE'LL PRETEND THAT'S LATER WHEN I CANON-UPDATE HIM. Shhhhh...]

Ah. I see.

[A small relief.]

[not_halfbaked]

[Korra frowns, sorry to have unthinkingly brought up something that would be pretty horrible to Deckerd. She notes his distress hasn't really lessened--how could it? She had to make up for it...]

[Korra says lowly.] A metalbender can be just as vulnerable to a bloodbender. It's...it's just like it sounds, a waterbender can be strong enough to reach inside and bend the water within a person.

[patokichi]

Those both sound like terribly powerful things to control...

[He shudders at the thought of blood bending, too. He'd ask why anyone would want to control the blood in someone's body, but he already knows the grim answer to that. Bad people are everywhere, no matter where you go.]

[not_halfbaked]

...Probably part of why the Equalists don't like bending....

[patokichi]

It sounds like a difficult world to live in.

[not_halfbaked]

...Yeah, I guess it is, for a lot of people....

[Korra considered. Thought aloud.]

Not really for me, I think, even though things have been going to hell lately. Been well cared for all my life, 'til now.

[patokichi]

Well. Chin up. Even if things look bad, as long as you have friends around, you can get through anything.
