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.

[When Jinora comes back to herself, she'll find Korra sitting just beside her, also in a meditating position. Korra opens her eyes as soon as she hears Jinora shifting in place.]

Any luck?

[ Jinora looks a little surprised to see Korra sitting next to her, but she relaxes again easily. ]

No, no luck. [ She sounds disappointed. ] I can't find anyone. Either they're too far or the barrier is blocking it somehow. [ She's tried her Dad, Mom, Kai- even Gran-Gran, although she'd had some doubts about that one since the South Pole was so far... and because she'd spoken to a younger version of her already. ]

What about you?

[braavado]

No luck, either.

[Korra sighs, shoulders slumping. She'd kind of been hoping, with Jinora's spiritual powers so much stronger than hers, that she might have found something.]

I've tried meditating into the Spirit World, but I keep hitting a block. It has to be the barrier.

[Before Harmonic Convergence, Korra might have just blamed her own lack of ability, but since she's been able to reach the Spirit World easily recently...all evidence points at something else being the culprit.]

[ Jinora gives her a sympathetic look. They're both hitting some kind of spiritual block- but it's not either of their faults. ]

I just don't understand the barrier. Why would anyone want to keep us all in the city? If it is spirits putting it up, you'd think they wouldn't want to keep in everyone, especially the people still fighting with them about their being here.
