A - Keeping In Shape

[Keeping in shape and being prepared was never really a habit that Blake had fallen out of, it had been drilled into her mind every day since her training had begun as a child. Training to fight benders, opponents who possessed abilities she couldn't match, the power to pull their weapons from the very world around them. To counter that, she had to make herself into a weapon and a weapon needed to be kept sharp and ready if it was to be any use. Plus it was nice to let her mind wander for a little while and not focus on troubles ranging from paying bills to whatever the spirits were doing to cause trouble now.

So, right now she can be found in one of Republic City's gyms dealing out a pretty heavy beating to one of the punching bags with rapid-fire punches and kicks. Of course, she's more used to training with an actual sparring partner but this would have to do for now....]

B - Paying the Bills With Bonus Yang Xiao Long

[Okay, so waitressing isn't exactly a particularly glamorous career path by any stretch of the imagination, but it could be worse. The pay was alright, the staff was agreeable, the hours were flexible. But there was always something... and in this case, it's the fact that the boss couldn't seem to pick a theme and settle on it and each month brought a brand new surprise. This time when she'd come in, she'd been presented with the most recent result of a late night "inspiration": maid cafe.

... Fantastic. You can be sure she'll be approaching this new setup with all the enthusiasm she's known for, or maybe a few customers will luck out and get the waitress who's actually on board with this nonsense.]

C - Cleaning Up the Streets

[Republic City wasn't the safest place in the world at the best, most stable of times, and the times the people are living in now are far from that. The typical dangers of the Triads and Equalist remnants were joined by angry citizens determined to get the so-called "foreigners" out of town. The police couldn't possibly be everywhere at once and somebody else had to step in where they couldn't be.

That somebody is currently moving through the city in the dead of night. Masked, hooded and sticking to the shadows. Few even knew she was out there and fewer still had seen her in action but one thing is certain tonight. Should trouble rear its head in Republic City's streets, the White Fang wouldn't be far behind.]

D - Choose Your Own Adventure

[Got something else in mind? Fire away. Aside from any of the above, Blake can be found roaming the streets doing everything from carrying groceries, keeping to herself and reading a book, or any of the above. Feel free to drop in on her anywhere you like.]

[ Did someone say waitress that's on board with nonsense? Out comes Yang from the little makeshift dressing room the owner had created for the girls. It was handy, especially for when the girls to change in to uniform after coming in from the street, or when Ruby had to get into her mascot outfit. Most of all, it proved handy for times when the owner had up and decided to make sudden wardrobe changes.

As Yang steps out, she twirls and as a finisher she throws her hair over her shoulder. ] Look at us, two super cute waitress-maids!

A.

[badday_badday]

[While his working certainly didn't leave Jackie with a lot of time for sitting around and doing nothing, it wasn't the same as doing actual exercise and he wanted to stay fit since it was clear that it was a skill he'd be needing while in the city.

So, on one of his sporadic days off, he decides to do some exercises at the city's fancy gym. He was used to just working out at home with logs and rocks, so surely this would be a far superior experience.

While he's doing his stretches, he looks over at a girl working on one of the punching bags. Something about it looks familiar but he can't quite put his finger on it...until one particular combination she does that he recalls seeing elsewhere. The masked woman! No doubt about it, it was definitely her! He's so surprised, he doesn't realize that he's openly gawking at her.]

C is for Chase Scene

[raavashing]

[Wan caught a glimpse of the masked girl as she moved through the midtown streets. It was late and he'd been on his way back to the wilds. But the movement caught his eye. That was more than a little suspicious and he broke away from his path to follow the shadowy figure. If she was out to cause trouble, he was going to put a stop to it.]

[gainedacoupon]

[ Jin wasn't exactly sure why she decided to come to this place, but just the concept of a maid cafe seemed so crazy she had to see what it was all about. She sat down at a booth and glanced around the room. Everything here seemed so frilly and nice. She hoped the people who worked here were just as nice. ]

[sanguine]

[So! Ruby is having an awesome afternoon on her day off. It sure felt nice to not be in a stuffed suit flailing an udder or a tail or whatever suit was chosen for her that week. She would also be grateful that she didn't have to smell the weird odor... but then she realized she was the only one that had actually been wearing the suits. Whew.

But, yes. Ruby sure is having a great day. She's walking by a gym, and whoa. Those people sure looked buff! They could probably earthbend with their abs and also their-- WAIT IS THAT BLAKE? OH WOW IT IS.

Immediately, she's zipping the window, practically shoving her face against the glass.

And staring.]

B is for Bolin

[lavamylife]

[Bolin had worked up a huge appetite after lunch and so he needed some food. And now that he wasn't spending all his money on helping the homeless, well, it was time to splurge a bit and get a tasty meal. He had heard about this café for a while from Yang, and so he finally decided that he would give it a try.

[Except he had not realised that it was going to be a themed place, and so the waitresses are dressed... differently than they might in places he's more familiar with. Weird.]
