Rating: G for "greet?"
So... meanwhile, back at the ranch, there were opportunities for those who have caught their journals to know who's coming, and those who have not caught their journals to be taken by surprise at the new Water Tribe member in the house.

The worst I saw was in the Dragon Flats borough though. The power was out [possibly cut, probably cut] and the people in the district were protesting the curfew on top of it. Demanding their rights and to have the power restored. But... Saikhan's police treated it as an Equalist rally.
[...] Katara, they rounded up all of them with metalbending, they arrested all of them. We [Team Avatar] showed up just as they were doing that.

[Oh look, righteous indignation.
She turns to stare at Asami incredulously.]

That sounds more like the Dai Li than any police force Toph would have trained! That's insane!
[Her indignation, you see, was not directed at you.]
What was the matter with them, arresting innocent people, following orders blindly - that's the kind of thing that lead to the war in the first place!
[She frowned. Going back to an ally was smart, but the whole thing was a travesty, as far as she was concerned.]
I certainly hope Tenzin [my son] got you out.

From what I hear, he tried. But he was refused at the police station and told to bring it to the Chairman of the Council - Tarrlok. So... he couldn't do it that same night and went home. [...] Korra didn't agree with waiting though. She confronted Tarrlok that night in his office, and after that- that's when he kidnapped her.
[...] Ling Bei Fong broke me and the others out the next morning to help her and Tenzin rescue Korra. [She doesn't make it clear how they were duped. It's not super relevant yet]

I see.

I'm not sure I understand something. You said that Korra and someone else discovered that Amon was closing off bending with bloodbending. But how did that happen?
[If Tarrlok was the only other bloodbender and Amon had taken his bending away...]
Did that have something to do with Tarrlok as well?

A whole family of bloodbenders?
[What did they do, make it illegal as an advertisement or something? As far as she knew, Hama was the one who had invented the technique. How could anyone have learned of it otherwise?]

That should make him happy.
Bloodbending in broad daylight. There were few things more terrifying than that.
She finds her focus.]
Go on.

Just so you know, everything I'm telling you after the trial I know secondhand. But apparently he disguised himself and started a new life up at the North Pole under a different identity. He found a wife, had children - two sons. And he secretly trained them both to be bloodbenders. One of them was Tarrlok and one of them grew up to become Amon.
no subject
But... in doing it... he'd still failed to keep Republic City safe from the influence of that man, that Yakone. Of course, if he'd stayed in prison, that would be one thing...
But Katara knew better than most people that you didn't have to have bending to be dangerous.]
Tarrlok told them all this?

[Pain and extreme loss can change a person. And if the Tarrlok here was without his bending, as she'd heard...]
I'm going to want to talk to him.
[That's said absently, almost to herself.]
no subject
[About Amon? The Equalists? Korra? ...Her?]
no subject
[She smiles a little wryly.]
But I'm not sure how much more I can take today. Why don't you just tell me if there's anything else you think is important to know that could be a threat - we'll focus on that for now.
no subject
A lot of the power the Equalists had in Republic City was from their technology. Specialized motorcycles, armored vans, gloves like the one I had on earlier, combat suits with specialized helmets, mecha-tanks which can't be metalbent, and recently a new type of single-manned airship called an airplane. [...] But I don't think most of those are things you could find here anyway.
no subject
That sounds both amazing... and terrifying.
[To think of their world with that kind of technology...
Why must these developments always come as weapons first?]
It's sounds like something to talk with Sokka about - and any kind of drawings of the weapons would be helpful too. Just give him a description - weapons usually show up in the Smithy, he can always hold them until we know that the person they belong to can be trusted.
[Like they did with you, showing up and caring for Jinora and all.]
...you say your glove is a weapon?
