I really haven't been updating much. I'm sorry. With Carmilla season 2 eminent I've been kind of spastic. Which, should not be an excuse, but still.
(On a side note, if you don't know what I'm referring to when I say Carmilla, please, do yourself a favor - go on youtube and find out what it is. Now. Yes, now. Before you read the chapter. Trust me, you'll be thanking me afterwards if you do.)

Two Way Talk

Hana: Hey Republic City, I hope you're ready for another fantastic instalment of Two Way Talk.

Anyun: Ladies, I know you're going to be excited by this one. Joining us tonight are the stars of Equalist Strike! Shadow of the Mask! Sitting with us right now are Bolin, Zhao Lei, Taka and Shinjiro. You guys want to introduce yourself?

Taka: Hey everyone listening. Thanks for tuning is, this Taka here.

Zhao: I'm Zhao Lei, glad to be here.

Shinjiro: I'm Shinjiro.

Bolin: And I'm Bolin. Great to be back.

Anyun: Great to have you back man. Honesty, you're a joy to have with us.

Bolin: Oh stop, you'll make me blush.

Hana: Well it is radio, so no one will see if you.

Bolin: Haha, good point. But where's where's Yumi.

Anyun: Something came for Yumi and she couldn't be here. She sends her apologizes to you guys, and you everyone to listening, she's very sorry she couldn't be here.

Bolin: I'm sorry too. Yumi is my favoutire.

Anyun: Ouch. Just stab me why don't you?

Bolin: Not I don't I like you Anyun. You're great.

Anyun: But you like Yumi more. I get it. I get it.

Hana: Anyun, stop acting like a child.

Anyun: I am not.

Hana: Let's talk about the mover. Obviously you haven't released much details about it, other than the fact it's based on the events that happened during the equalist uprising. Is there anything else you can tell us?

Taka: Who wants to take this?

Shinjiro: Zee, you're the words guy.

Zhao: Well, it does tell the story of what happened then in a way. But we've also made it our own. Varrick, he didn't just want to retell what happened word for word. Everyone already know how Avatar Korra, of course with Bolin, his brother and everyone else stopped the equalist four years back. We didn't just want the mover to be like a history report.

Bolin: So story wise it is different.

Zhao: It is very different. Like the three of us, our characters, obviously are fictional additions.

Taka: Right, right.

Hana: So can you tell us about your characters?

Bolin: Well from what we can tell you is that our story picks up just before the euqalist take control of the city. In the story, I play myself basically. And Zee and Shin, they are on a pro-bending team with me. Taka, he's like your four man, manager slash best friend. And that's where the story starts with us and pro-bending. And then the equlist come in and blow everything up, literally.

Shinjiro: And we are bragged into the conflict. And it goes from there.

Taka: If we were say more we'd be spoiling things for everyone. But there's going to be action, and adventure. And even a little romance.

Bolin: Like Varrick says, everyone loves a good love story.

Anyun: I'm hooked already. So the plot, more or less. Bolin, we know you. But you guys, you're still relatively a mystery to us, even though you've had a spectacular run in the tabloids.

Shinjiro: Thank you.

Taka: We try.

Hana: Can you tell us how you became a part of this? Did Varrick approach you? How'd you end being in the mover.

Zhao: Well, it's a little different for each us. I went to an audition. Yeah. That's how I got the part.

Anyun: Cool. Tell us more please.

Zhao: Well, Varrick came to Northern Tribe to have auditions. They were open, and I said, why not.

Hana: What did you do before?

Zhao: Believe it or not, I made seal jerky. I wasn't even a hunter. I was the guy who cured it.

Hana: And now you're a mover a star.

Zhao: Yeah, I am.

Anyun: What about you two?

Taka: Varrick did approach us with the idea. I used to work for Varrick back in the day. And he looked me up, and offered the part. I don't know what made him think of me but I'm glad he did. And Shin, well, he was already a big name.

Shinjiro: Please.

Hana: Shinjiro, you're a model. So, was it and east transition? You're already used to cameras.

Shinjiro: Actually, it very different.

Hana: Really?

Shinjiro: Yeah. Okay, modeling, your still you. You have to present yourself, right. When I model it's my job to get your attention. To make you look at me, at my clothes. Like that right. But for the mover. I couldn't do that. It has to look natural, yeah? I can't suddenly pose. A pro-bender wouldn't do that. So it was hard that difference in expectation. Bolin really helped me, helped us all.

Bolin: I just gave some pointers here and there. Nothing much really. These guys are all great on their own. They didn't need my help.

Anyun: Okay, let's take some callers.

Caller 1: Hello?

Anyun: Hey, you're on Two Way Talk. What question do you have the guys?

Caller 1: Hi, hey. Um, I was wondering, there were rumors about there being real meachs in the movie. Is that true?

Shinjiro: Can we tell them?

Taka: Well you asking that makes it obvious.

Bolin: I think Varrick will be cool with it. Yeah. Asami, being the wonderful person that she is, lent us a couple old model mechsuits to use.

Anyun: Sounds cool.

Zhao: It was so cool. Expect some big action scenes.

Bolin: We tried to step everything up. It's bigger, it's better. It's going to knock your socks off.

Hana: Can't wait then. Next caller?

Caller 2: Hi, I'm Ami.

Anyun: Hey, Ami, how old are you sweetie?

Caller 2: I'm nine and half. My mama let me call.

Hana: That's a good mom you there. So what's your question?

Caller 2: Do you have girlfriends?

Anyun: Well, I wouldn't say there were my girlfriends. But I have companions.

Hana: She was talking to them.

Anyun: You don't know that.

Bolin: I do have a girlfriend. Her name is Opal, I really, really like her.

Taka: Zee and I are both single.

Zhao: Shin, spoken for though.

Shinjiro: Don't make things up. I don't have a girlfriend.

Taka: We didn't say you have a girlfriend.

Shinjiro: Thanks for the question Ami. Let's see who the next caller is.

Caller 3: Hi. Bolin, man you are awesome.

Bolin: Thank you. Could you tell that to my brother?

Caller 3: I love Nuktuk. Are you going to do more movers after this?

Bolin: I don't know. Probably yeah. I know Varrick is already thinking about doing more if Equalist Strike does well. But it might not a while. There is something else I really want to do first, after this mover premiers.

Anyun: Oh? What's that?

Bolin: I don't want to say anything just yet, in case I can't do it.

Anyun: Does it have anything to do with probending? Yumi would love it if it has something to do with pro-bending.

Bolin: Ah, nah. Sorry, Yumi. It's not pro-bending. Not I won't do probending in the future. Like I said last time, Mako, Korra and I are totally willing to the charity games. We're all for that. But We've all gone past competing.

Hana: But this thing you want to do. Can't you tell us anything?

Bolin: In time, yes. But right now, I don't want to say anything and people get excited and then I can't do it. I don't want. But I will say this is something I've really wanted for a long time. As long I can remember. And I'm finally in a position where I might be able to it. That's all I'm saying.

Anyun: Sounds like something to look forward to.

Bolin: It is. Promise, you'll guys personally once I'm certain about things.

Hana: Sounds good.

Anyun: I'm holding you to that my friend.

Hana: Oh, we're running out of time.

Taka: Aww…

Anyun: Okay, anything else you want to tell us before we have to go.

Bolin: Yes. We are excited to say that the premier of Equalist Strike! Shadow of the Mask! is happening…guys say it with me.

Bolin, Shinjiro, Taka & Zhao (together): On February 23rd.

Hana: Wow, a month away.

Anyun: Awsome. So we don't have to wait that long.

Taka: We hope everyone will come see it.

Zhao: We super proud of the mover. We can't wait to share it.

Shinjiro: It's fun, action packed. The whole family can see it.

Anyun: Alright, thank you guys for coming on.

Bolin: Thanks for having us.

Anyun: Eqalist Strike! Come out on the 23rd. You heard it here first. Thanks for listening to Two Way Talk.

Hana: And we hope you'll listen again.
