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.

Though she was nicely dressed, it was pretty believable that this young woman came from a small town. By the way of dress, she would have assumed Earth Nation, but you know what they said about assuming.

Yang offered a reasuring smile and a clap on the back. "Hey, don't worry about it. I'm pretty new here myself and I guess not every little town makes a huge point to drill world-history into it's citizens. Pretty boring stuff anyway, if you ask me." She was defiantly not one to get overly invested in history, though she had found it came more in handy here in the city than it did back on her own little fire nation island.

"I might not be a lot of help showing you around, but maybe I can answer any other questions you might have?"

From one kind soul to another Yang had just earned Katara's gratitude, big time. Being a new face in a big city was nothing new. She could remember visiting several towns and running into frustratingly unhelpful individuals in some of them, though it was hardly the norm. Every pleasant encounter like this was a blessing.

"I would really appreciate it, if you're sure it isn't too much trouble...?"

There was room for an introduction there, as well. The smile that Katara offered was genuinely both gracious and relieved.

"Don't worry about it, anything I can do to help." She smiles in response and sticks out her hand in introduction. "It's Yang-- Yang Xiao Long."
