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.

Toph made a face in turn (though unaware that he'd beaten her to it). "Thanks for the attempt at buzzkill, Captain Stick-in-the-Mud, but I'm going with it anyway."

Besides, not her problem if Aang had a statue. She certainly didn't begrudge him that; she'd never been bothered by the success of her friends. But the fact that she had one, and all the implications . . . yeah. She was going to enjoy that, and Zuko was just going to have to deal with the ego he'd dredged up.

Considering for a moment, she pushed the mask back towards him. "Hold this."

(He might notice that somewhere along the line, it had gained a pair of roughly-sculpted smoochy lips where his mouth would end up.)

For her turn, Toph reached up and tugged the pins out of her bun. Her hair was massively thick; it came down in an unruly black mass that seemed to have a mind of its own. She worked with her fingers, obviously practiced enough with it, braiding it back again with the pins poking out from her teeth.

"If that guy's still out, let's see what he's got."

Having the mask shoved back at him, Zuko didn't bother to look at it cause wow that sure is a lot of hair you have there Toph. Zuko just stares for several moments as he watches her manipulate it into a braid. Hairbending? Anyway, he's actually kind of surprised. He's never seen her with her hair other than her usual bun. And really the braid is not a bad look for her at all.

With the guy being mentioned, he looks back over in the direction of the trash cans. Yep still there.

"Okay I-wait what did you do to my mask?!"

He finally noticed.

When you've got a mother as obsessive as Toph's about proper ladylike behavior and hair as thick as a lion-turtle mane, you learn what needs to happen. Whether you like it or not.

Toph's fingers moved swiftly through the strands as she headed over to check on the status of the thug. "He's still breathing, right?"

And a smirk. "I improved it. If you're going to look weird, you might as well go all-out."

[lordhotman]

Have an annoyed look, Toph.

"This isn't funny. How am I supposed to 'lay low' with that?"

Grump grump grouse grouse.

Zuko then looks at the man who's just laying there, drooling on garbage.

"He's fine. Probably a triad member."

He then starts to search the guy.
