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.

"The spirit wilds aren't for everyone." Not by a long shot. "I wouldn't recommend trying to stay the night in there without the help of someone who knows about the spirits." Which... Not her. Maybe she'd been part of the action, when all of this started going down, but that was it.

"It would just be entry level work. Assembly lines, janitorial, wherever you're needed. Unless you think you can offer something more, you can definitely try for that, too."

"Oh." She made it sound like it's dangerous. And maybe it is. He's faced Summon Spirits enough times to know how powerful they are even when they're just testing someone's strength. If they really decided to try to hurt someone...

He can still remember the story Sheena told about what happened when Volt went on a rampage. Maybe avoiding these spirit wilds would be a good idea, at least until he can find Sheena or another Summoner.

"What about woodworking? Or building things? I could probably do something like that. I've been learning how so I can build a boat someday. If you've got a smithy, I could help there, too. I'm not as good a smith as my Dad, but he taught me a lot of things." The only other skill of note that he has is his ability with his swords, but she hasn't even really looked at the swords he's wearing (that he's noticed), so that's probably not something she needs.

"Well, we have room for pretty much any kind of craftsman, if we can see that your skills are something we're after." Machines couldn't do everything, but Asami wasn't going to just snatch anyone off the street who could potentially clog up her operation.

"I'll just have to prove myself, then," Lloyd says, not at all daunted or deterred. He sets aside a finished packet and starts in on the next. "Either way, thanks for giving me a chance. I'll talk to the guy with the papers after I've helped out here for a bit."

He's confident in his skills. A chance is all he feels like he'll need to prove he can work for her.
