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.

[Aang laughs some more and does a little footwork for her to follow.]

Nice try! As long as you're expressing yourself, that's all that matters!

[gainedacoupon]

Man I bet everyone in the lower ring would have loved to play with you!

[savedtheworld]

Really? I bet I wouldn't loved to play with them, too! And I had hoped to pay that ring a visit before we left Ba Sing Se.

[gainedacoupon]

I'm sure you'll get another chance to.

[savedtheworld]

I'm sure, too! [Or it just feels better to have hope that they'll get back home - and he wants Jin to feel hopeful too.] For now, we'll just have to have fun here.

[gainedacoupon]

Well I made friends with a pretty cool airbender, so I'm already having fun.

[savedtheworld]

Really? What a coincidence. I met a very nice hero, so I'm having fun, too.

[gainedacoupon]

Alright, Sidekick! Lets go find those fountains!

[ She grabs Aang's hand quickly and starts to tug him away. ]

[savedtheworld]

Whoa! [He giggles and runs along with her pull.] Off to adventure!

[gainedacoupon]

Nothing but excitement and happiness await!

[savedtheworld]

Yeah, that's the spirit! You know, you'd make a pretty good airbender, Jin!

[gainedacoupon]

Do you really think so? I always wondered what it'd be like to be a bender. Well I mean unless friendship bending is a thing.

[ Okay she realizes that was dorky to say, but look at that straight face she's keeping. ]

[savedtheworld]

Friendship bending sounds close enough! You must be a master at it already. [Don't worry, Aang's just as dorky, and with a dorky face to boot!]

[gainedacoupon]

You can't let anyone know that though. It's a secret I've hidden for many years now.

[savedtheworld]

[He gives a dutiful nod mid-run.]

Don't worry! I'll uphold it with my duty as your sidekick!

[gainedacoupon]

I knew I could trust my deepest secret with you, Aang!

[savedtheworld]

And I knew I could keep your deepest secret, Jin! [As they turn onto a different street!]

[gainedacoupon]

[ This place just seems to keep getting bigger and bigger. ]

Hey Aang, how do you think they made the buildings so... big?

[savedtheworld]

I don't know. This whole place is a mystery. Maybe they use some kind of a... growing potion?

[gainedacoupon]

A growing potion huh... well that would explain why there are giant trees and vines everywhere.

[savedtheworld]

Yeah... It's all coming together! Finally things are making sense! [Then a car whizzes by.]

...Except for those things.

[gainedacoupon]

I still don't get those things either. How are they even moving?

[savedtheworld]

Hm... Magic? Or... I guess they're not too different from the tanks the Fire Nation used...

[gainedacoupon]

But they don't seem that harmful... just a little scary.

[savedtheworld]

You're right. They're not harmful. They seem more... peaceful? People are just riding around in them, like they're animals or something! Why don't they just ride animals...?
