Call For Help

[cyclicalitymods]

After the events from November 11th, the city has been in a constant state of repair. In an effort to speed things up, a variety of construction companies have offered high wages for helping out since many have too many orders to keep up with. Earthbenders in particular are welcome, especially if they're able to metalbend, but it's hands for labor that are most needed.

Those who received the newspaper on the 5th of this month will have noticed some overlaying text that probably shouldn't be there. It said to meet outside the city council office if you want to help rebuild the city, but those who went on the 5th and the 6th know that nothing happened. Around noon today, however, a golden light shoots out of the ground. Instead of dissipating right away, it sketches out the word "hope" in the dirt. Shortly after, genuine gold appears where the light had burst forth. Every now and then, a variety of items and tools appear, lying scattered among the gold. Many of the newly appeared items can be used to help rebuild the city such as stacks of timber and stone, but many of the other items appear to have been previously owned. Heirlooms that had been previously destroyed now in perfect condition along with other lost items and the like keep appearing at random in front of the city council office in addition to all the gold.

The text on the newspaper wasn't lying, though. Someone is watching. Or something. Everything everyone does will be under close surveillance. Whether they keep the gold, leave it alone or give it away; whether they work to repair the city or sit and do nothing. Either way, the area around the council office is brimming with spiritual energy, but no spirits are coming out to play.

Gumshoe shifts as well, trying to keep an eye as he talks to Wan to make sure no trouble is brewing. He goes on with a slight smile.

"I was thinking of checking to see if there's any openings the Dragon Flats first, since that's where I live. To be honest, I have no idea which ones are and aren't full up yet..." He slumps. "But I know what you mean about the metalbending, pal! It'd be even easier to help if I could pull that off... but my metalbending still just doesn't wanna develop!"

Just didn't want to develop...?

"How long have you been waiting for it to develop?" Wan asked slowly and a little cautiously. Because thought it was an all or nothing skill. Either you had it or you didn't. And if he was wrong, well, he needed to work a lot harder.

"Oh, it's been years now!" He says with a soft chuckle. Even when he's been told that there's no hope for him to learn it, he's still kept at trying. "I guess you can say I'll be a late bloomer!"

Wan lifted a finger, mouth opening to say something, before shutting it and dropping his hand. Yeah. He wasn't going to touch that. If that gave the guy hope, then it gave him hope.

"Right," he finally said with a nod. "Well, I hope you um... 'blossom' soon."

Gumshoe gives a hearty salute. "Thanks, pal! I really appreciate it! And in the meantime, I'll still be doing my best to help out with good old-fashioned normal earthbending. Don't count this Gumshoe out yet!"
