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 can't help it. He likes to compliment her friends. And maybe it looked like she could use the extra smile. He almost got the sense that something was wrong by looking in her eyes, but he couldn't quite figure out for sure from that.

He does chuckle lightly at the curtsy, and he bows in return. "Really? Well, I think the other person's lucky too! I hope it'll be a great friendship."

Once they are standing up straight again, she clasps her hands in front of her, still smiling warmly. At least she thinks she is smiling warmly, but the whole concept of warm is a strange concept to her.

"Are you out here by yourself?"

[savedtheworld]

He gives a goofy smile in response.

"Um, right now I'm by myself. But I have a bunch of friends who- who're in the city, too. I'm gonna meet up with them later."

[glyphe]

Meeting up with friends, that sounded nice. Weiss didn't have many friends to hang out with. Sure, she'd met Ruby and Yang, but she didn't know where they were staying or what they were doing.

"You have fun, then," she finally says, pushing her bangs out of her face. "Today, I'm looking for a job, so I don't get to play around."

[savedtheworld]

"That stinks," he frets at the part about not being able to play. "Good luck with your job though! I hope you find more time to play later."

[glyphe]

She hopes so, too. Even though Aang is young, Weiss likes him, for some reason, and not only because he complemented her. No, there is something else about him... He's like a breath of fresh air, so positive. It's infectious, really. She would not mind hanging out with him in the future.

It's a shame that today she is busy. "Once I have a job, and I will get one, then I'll be able to figure out my schedule. Perhaps we can meet up again sometime."

[savedtheworld]

She looks like someone who could use some more fun and sunshine. So Aang's all too glad to befriend her.

He gives an understanding nod. "I hope so! Whenever things get settled in, we can try to find each other again. I'll be fun! It's been really nice meeting you!"

[glyphe]

"Nice meeting you too," she nods. "I'm staying in the Dragon Flats Borough. So if you're ever around there, you're welcome to stop by."

[savedtheworld]

"Dragon Flats Burrow? That's a neat-sounding name! Ill remember it and come look for you some time. I'm gonna be at Air Temple Island. So I know we'll find each other again either way.

Until then..." He waves to her as he starts to walk off. "Seeya!"

[glyphe]

Air Temple Island... Weiss doesn't know where that is, exactly, but she knows it's not too far from the city. She looks like she might want inquire more about it, but Aang was already waving her off.

So she waves back, reluctantly walking away. Right, she had important work to do! She could find Aang again, and then learn about this Air Temple Island. Hn, so strange.

"I didn't know normal people could live there..."
