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.

Wan shrugged, "I can just tell people myself if they want to learn. Besides, making flyers would cost a lot of money, right? I don't have any."

Mikazuki shrugged back, lightly. "I suppose more and more people would seek someone like you out. Since these guys," he rolled his eyes upward again, "are here to stay. It's actually pretty surprising no one tried to cash in on it yet."

"I don't know if any spirits would let someone make money off of them," he said with an amused scoff, "Then again, I don't know if any spirits would care either. Spirits don't really have a thing about material possessions the way humans do. They go where they feel the safest and most comfortable. They're a lot more connected to nature than most humans have ever been. Not that plenty of humans don't get along well with the natural world, but the majority of them are too engrossed with their own problems and their own selfish desires to care about what's outside of them."

"Ahh, you're making us sound terrible," he laughed. Not that he minded, if anything it made him feel flattered that a spirit would like to hang out with him. "Sounds like you like spirits better than people." In fact, it seemed a little weird for a guy like that to live in the big city… maybe he's one of the newcomers?

"That's probably because I recognize that spirits are as much people as humans are," Wan replied kindly, but with a raised eyebrow. "Spirits aren't pets. They're as intelligent and feeling as you and I. They just aren't human."
