[001] Monthly Catch All
If you could go back in time forty-five some odd years ago, and ask a teenage Bumi what the worst possible outcome of his life could be, he'd tell you:
Trapped at an Air Temple, pretending to be an airbender.
Bumi thinks a lot about this now, as he holds down Air Temple Island as if it were a fort.
With Tenzin and Pema no where to be found, and Jinora and Korra off to a Spirit Portal, Bumi is the highest ranking officer on deck, as horrifying for all involved as that is.
The spirits, it seems, are not without a sense of humor.
1) The Radio Room
With the Barrier down communications that were once off-line are now once again operational, and Bumi spends a few hours here several times a day. Information pours in from the Air Temples and he's been trying to reach the Water Tribes in an effort to find his brother and sister.
Looking to find family, or possibly a crash course in Morse Code? Then this is a good place for you.
2) The kitchen
People need to eat, and Bumi is more than skilled at making the most of limited provisions.
The menu is Hot and A Lot. The ingredients are both vegetarian and...less so.
(Don't worry, he's using separate cooking implements for the meat goods.
3) The meditation pavilion
He's never really been all that fantastic at meditation, or at least the kind of it that involves sitting still and keeping his mind clear, but at this point even Bumi is willing to try just about anything.
4) About town
Times are getting tougher, but there's still a lot to trade and be traded for, and so Bumi finds himself on various logistical missions getting for the Island things that it cannot produce for itself.
5) Other
Create your own, for hours of fun!

This post looks lonely. #2
And so he just happens to be in line waiting to get whatever it is airbenders probably shouldn't get, and he's in for a good surprise.
Awww YAY!
"Hot tray! Hot tray! Lookout! Hot tray!" he announces to the room at large as he heads for the main table which he's set up as buffet style.
"Hey!" he says, noticing Bolin for the first time. "Look what the pygmy puma dragged in!"
sorry for the delay!
"Hey, that's not all that funny. I was dragged through the streets by a tigerdillo a few days ago," says Bolin somewhat unabashedly. "But man, I'm starving. What's on the menu for today? Something tasty, I hope?"
No no, I'M sorry for the delay.
"Were you really?" Because if anyone has the right to question someone's outlandish story, it's Bumi.
Right?
At any rate the mention of the tigerdillo only slows Bumi down a second, after that initial pause he's back to moving the large tray of food to the warming station.
"In the far bin we have sweet and sour artic-hen, crispy deep-fried wontons, and this here is bean curd, Fire Nation style."
Bumi then leans a bit in to stage whisper for Bolin's benefit.
"Can't stand the stuff personally, so I have to make it taste like anything else.]"
Bumi: The quasi-airbender who hates bean curd.

There: the important issue is now out of the way. Now onto the defence of his story.
"And really I was!" he continues, his voice rather impassioned. "You would have had to been there to see it. He... or maybe it's a she, I really don't remember, wouldn't get out of my way trying to get here to Air Temple Island. So he... or she, led me to this collapsed building where I saved Lord Zuko from a collapsed building. Except it was really young Lord Zuko, as if he were my age. I mean, I wasn't even expecting that! I was kind of shocked and starstruck all at the same time!"
