Welcome to Republic City!

[cyclicalitymods]

It was a bright and sunny normal day in Republic City. Children were playing, spirits were chirping about, and everything was going along like normal. Well at least that's what everyone seemed to think. That is until so many people seemed to be appearing out of nowhere. For some reason Republic City seemed to be more lively and the crowds bigger.

The spirits have grown restless as if something important was about to change, and to try to fix that change, the spirits with their big long tree like limbs dragged people into the world left and right. Even the vines covering Republic City seemed to help. Although the spirits had the best intentions in mind, some people were more affected by the grab than others. There's talk that people in this city don't even know what this place is. People who have never heard of the words "bender" or "non-bender."

Welcome to Republic City! And to those who already live here: Happy Saturday. Please make yourselves at home and don't mind a little spirit gunk. It's mostly harmless. Go enjoy yourself a classic mover. Maybe you're the athletic type. If that's the case, come watch a few Pro-bending matches or form your own team. Just watch out for any Satomobiles. They can be deadly no matter how pretty the driver is.

Please remember to enjoy your stay and don't cause too much trouble. The Republic City Police don't need more riffraff to take care of. And don't stray too far. To make the the peace is kept, there's a huge spirit barrier around the perimeter of the city. It seems pretty strong, but it won't be able to last forever. Still, it's worrying. Radio signals and telegraphs don't seem to be getting past it.

Katara has been all over the world by this point in her life, from the icy poles to the mountain tops to foggy swamps and riverside towns and all over the Earth Kindom and Fire Nation. Yet nothing had prepared her for Republic City. It was a marvel alone that the buildings were so tall, but to add to that the sight of the Satomobiles and the crazy vines all over the place? That no one was reacting to that simply told her that this was something of a normal occurrence around these parts, so it's safe for her to focus her energy on other things, like everything else.

Katara turns a look to Lloyd and wishes she could give him a better answer than: "Your guess is as good as mine. I'm still trying to figure out where we are."

... What a strange style of dress, actually, now that she gets a closer look.

"Are you from here?"

You kind of look like you could fit right in, aside from the fact you're one of the only ones reacting to the vines, friend.

"You don't know either?" Lloyd isn't sure whether that's relieving or worrying to hear. It's not just him - but on the other hand, it's not just him. Whatever pulled him here must be pulling other people, too. This could be a lot bigger than he things.

Bigger than the Great Tree going haywire again. Not a good thing.

Not bothered by the odd look his clothes get (hey, her clothes are a little weird, too, though not as weird as some of the people around them), he shakes his head at Katara's question. At least he can answer that. "No," he says. "I'm from Iselia, though I was closer to Luin when I..." He fumbles for an appropriate word, then gives up. "When I got here. What about you? Where were you before?"

Maybe if they put together what they know, they can figure out what's going on.
