Yeah, that's what I've been working on! Well, me and Zhu Li. Since she kind of works on everything. [ She has probably 1000% saved him from deleting System 32 because a joker in IT was trying to prank him. Let's not play any games about that. Filing is a whole different setup from IT work. Go figure. ]

It's not bad to keep up with a regular paper system, though. Except for... the trees, I guess. My professor always said you should have work to do in a power outage.

Our building operates off the grid, Bolin.

[Like honestly. Like Varrick would trust his business dealings to the people who runs this city.

he takes another long, satisfied sip of his coffee.]

Wow, this is really good. Like amazing. Where did you get this and can we buy them?

[igneous]

Oh, really? That must've taken some doing. [ His boss is so cool. Paranoid and sometimes questionable, but cool. They're off the grid. ] Annnd that depends. Do we already own the kiosk outside and a block to the left? It's kinda hard to keep track of who you took on and who you haven't yet.

[profiteers]

Not really. I mean what kind of a man would I be if I couldnt rig up a little self-sustained clean energy generator in my off time, right?

[Because he is Tony Stark and no one can say otherwise. Also tipping back in his chair smugly and admiring the view is exactly what he wants to get into now.]

You know I'm really not sure. I'll get Zhu Li to check in on that for me. If not you should go down and offer them a few hundred grand on your next coffee round.

Anything else I can help you with today, kid?

[igneous]

Well, you wouldn't be Varrick. [ He is basically just Tony Stark it's the real truth. Bolin grins and shoots him a salute, though. ] I think I'm good, though! Just needed to know where to go for. You know, for everything file-related. Since that's kind of a big part of my workday. I'll keep the sales offer thing in mind if Zhu Li gives me the go-ahead and everything!

[profiteers]

Oh! You're coming with me to this lunch meeting, though. I think I forgot to tell you. most probably, actually. But you definitely need to come.

[igneous]

I am? I do? [ Whirlwind changes of plan, all day every day.

The training video warned him about this. ]

What's it about? Am I supposed to bring anything? Like, will I be there as official coffee and magazine guy? Because I'd probably look bad if I was and then I showed up empty-handed.

[profiteers]

Naw, just bring yourself. Believe me, it's definitely important you're there. I don't remember just at this moment why but I wrote a note about it so I must have been certain about something.

[Varrick spins his monitor around to show Bolin a sticky note next to the screen that says 'Bring Bolin to lunch!' in Zhu Li's handwriting.]

So. Go comb your hair or something, we gotta impress these guys.

[igneous]

Sure! I'll... be as impressive as possible. Cross my heart. Zhu Li probably has some pointers on how to do that. [ He assumes. She is basically a deity. ]

[profiteers]

[Praise Zhu Li from whom all blessings flow.]

Oh! Wait! I think I remember! It's those oil company guys.

[HE REMEMBERED WHAT A MEETING WAS ABOUT be impressed please.]

They're pissy because of us taking all those city power contracts from them so were going to try to placate them with some fancy food before they sick any lawyers on us.

[igneous]

[ She rules over all with divine strength and glory. ]

Oh! Okay, yeah, placating I can totally do. [ Probably. He was worried he forgot a presentation or something for a second there. ] Peace talks didn't work out then, huh?

[ Also hi i hope you are doing well and you are marvelous. ]
