[OPEN] Intro

I.
After eventually finding his way to Dragonflats and managing to secure a place to stay, Jackie put away his few belongings and decided to go out and see more of this massive new city that was now his home. He made sure to make note of his address in case he got lost finding his way back and had to ask directions.

As he moved through some of the nicer areas of the city, buildings used by government officials and other impressive feats of architecture and ingenuity, Jackie had the wide eyed, gawking stare of a tourist. Before coming to Republic City, he mostly saw buildings that were two stories tall. He even saw the occasional one with three stories but nothing as grand or as breathtaking as what he saw now.

With his preoccupation with his sightseeing, he's far more likely to run into someone or stop dead in the middle of a busy sidewalk. In either case, he'll respond by apologizing profusely.


II.
"Excuse me! Oops! Sorry! Oh, sorry again!"

Jackie's running along the sidewalk as quickly as he can all while dipping, ducking, jumping and otherwise trying to avoid running into people and things as much as possible. When he'd seen the message appearing in the newspaper about jobs, he knew he had to get to the city council office as soon as possible. The message hadn't really had a lot of information but that much was clear. Hopefully, all the good jobs wouldn't be gone before he arrived out of breath.

[He'll be arriving before the actual start of the event.]

Bolin grins. "Well yeah, especially because the Earth Queen was a little bit, you know, crazy and all, I can imagine that living in the Earth Kingdom wasn't exactly a walk in the park. Though granted, I'm not sure things are better now that she's been killed. All I can say is that I'm glad I managed to get my family out of there amidst all the chaos. Man, Ba Sing Se really started going to the polar bear dogs."

"Oh, well, whew!" Bolin says, finally breathing a sigh of relief. "At least you were spared most of that insanity! But yeah, Republic City is certainly alright. Not that it hasn't had its own share of... things, recently, but more or less, the people are alright.

"So, uh, if you're used to being in a small town, what brought you to the city?"

Bullies? [He frets slightly.] Well you sure must've shown them! Some good slipping away is always the best way to deal with those kinds of guys!
lavamylife: (worried)

"Er... well..." Bolin stammers at the insinuation that Bolin's got a good job. He touches his two forefingers together before him and gives him a bit of a grimace. "You know, I'm... not exactly all that rich just yet. Even if the last two years have kind of taken a big turn for the better, I'm still... sometimes just scraping by, y'know. I guess it just helps that I've been travelling with the Avatar and all when she wants to go places."

And the benevolence of strangers. Asami's deep pocketbooks and Tenzin's free housing has been nice too.

Well, if he's really honest about it, that isn't exactly a state secret or anything. He's been pictured with the Avatar quite a few times, though it might not be the most forefront thing in people's minds as they're going about their day or if they should happen to meet Bolin on the street.

Bolin takes a step or two back after Jackie just goes into megaphone mode and let the entire town know about it. But that said, he's not completely embarrassed about it, though he might be grinning a little awkwardly. "Well, yeah. In fact, she was on our pro-bending team a few years ago after our waterbender ended up getting sick, and we were the fastest friends ever since then!" Well, thereabouts; they had to go through a few hoops, but Bolin won't bring that up. Their past is generally shiny to his mind. "But yeah, after that, we got to see the South Pole with her and meet her family, and then there was the Earth Kingdom just a few months ago. She's pretty great; you should meet her one of these days!"
savedtheworld: (eager)

[personal profile] savedtheworld 2015-01-02 01:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Kind of! I really live all the way over on Air Temple Island, but I come over here all the time!
lavamylife: (optimistic)

[personal profile] lavamylife 2015-01-04 12:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Okay, that's... kind of funny, and Bolin will definitely try his best to stifle a good amount of chuckling at the reaction. Because he understands. "I know, right? That's how I felt about her when I first met her!" Actually he felt a little more than just that when he first met her, but that's besides the point. "And yeah, Korra's a woman... one of the sweetest, most charming, most helpful, and most greatest women I happen to know, no matter what the papers might say." He waits a second before adding, "Though she does know how to pack a good punch though..."

As for the last question Bolin just waves it off. "Nah, you're find as you are. Hey, I mean, I kind of met her right before I was about to go and have a pro-bending match. Not exactly the nicest clothes I've ever worn."
savedtheworld: (has a good idea)

[personal profile] savedtheworld 2015-01-04 03:18 pm (UTC)(link)
It's s really pretty place, and it's filling up! That's where all we air nomads live, and the air acolytes!
lavamylife: (grinning)

"She really, really is," says Bolin, grinning widely. It's not a lovey-dovey grin, though it's not like it's hugely far off from it. "She's a really great friend."

Bolin shakes his head, though, at the mention of pro-bending. "Not right at the moment, but I think there might be one tonight if you want to go. They usually still have a few tickets open to get at the last minute..."

Hey, you don't have to worry about money. Air Temple Island's just in the harbor! There are some ferries that go there for free, and aside from that I'd be glad to give you a ride there myself!
savedtheworld: (humble)

[personal profile] savedtheworld 2015-01-08 03:40 am (UTC)(link)
No, no! [He can air scoot other people, but it's kind of impractical when one's going over water.] I also have a glider and a sky bison that're a lot better for carrying people!

[personal profile] savedtheworld 2015-01-08 03:55 am (UTC)(link)
Yep! You ever met one before? [While Aang will just keep treating everything like it's no big deal.]
