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.

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...?

[gainedacoupon]

Maybe it's to give the animals a break?

[savedtheworld]

Good point... It'd be bad if they got too tired!

[gainedacoupon]

I wonder where the people are hiding their animals if they are all on those magical carts.

[savedtheworld]

Probably in their shirts or under their hats. Those are Momo's favorite places.

[gainedacoupon]

Who's momo?

[savedtheworld]

He's my flying lemur! But I don't know where he is right now.

[gainedacoupon]

Do you think he might be somewhere around?

[savedtheworld]

Maybe! To be honest... I'm not really sure how or why I got here too. I don't know who else could have come to this place... [But Jin makes at least one more person from Ba Sing Se.]

[gainedacoupon]

I really wish I knew too. Who knows how many people could have just shown up.

[savedtheworld]

And how many people lived here already? It's a big city so it'll take a long time to search all of it...

Let's focus on the fountain first.

[gainedacoupon]

You're right. If we start piling everyone on our plates we won't be able to eat it all, right?

[savedtheworld]

Wait, who do you wanna eat? [A joke may have misfired.]
