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.

I’m dressed like this because I’m trying to figure out what’s going on without people, you know, recognizing me.

[Korra keeps her voice at a whisper, too.]

I think there’s something wrong. I was fighting Zaheer, and then I woke up back in Republic City… and now I’m hearing a bunch of weird stories from the people around the city.

[lavamylife]

[Oh well that's entirely sensible. It couldn't be anything like Mako's story where he missed an entire fight. He had seen Korra pass out, so at least he knew that part.]

Well yeah, you certainly took him down... along with some of our help... at least Lin's, Suyin's, and the airbenders'. But, yeah, you didn't wake up for a while after that.

[Bolin's emotions are on his sleeve, and he certainly doesn't seem all that happy about the story.]

[braavado]

[She was afraid of that... Korra frowns, glancing between the papers and Bolin.]

So...I really did get injured that badly?

[Aside from the date, that's the tidbit that's hit her the hardest.]

[lavamylife]

[Well, at least Bolin will keep his voice down. He can keep secrets... insofar that he doesn't just blab them out loud in public.]

Well, Suyin did get all of that metallic poison out of your body, but even weeks afterward, you still weren't looking all that good.

[Bolin suddenly pulls Korra into a hug, more than a little upset.]

For a while I thought we were going to lose you!

[braavado]

[Even weeks after that? Korra feels a chill go down her back. While the papers had already hinted as much, she really isn’t liking what she’s hearing from Bolin—and she knows she can trust Bolin’s word over the papers.

Still dazed, Korra returns the hug while trying to get her thoughts under control.]

Well, you don’t have to worry anymore. I’m here—see? I’m fine.

That is such the perfect icon for MY post! XD

[Bolin receives a decent amount of solace both from Korra's hug and from her reassuring words. She certainly does look more than okay, not at ALL like how she had appeared after the fact. He looks up from the hug at her and gives her a bright though slightly bittersweet smile.]

I guess you're right. [He sniffs a little bit; while yes he's happy she's okay, it certainly is confusing how she's okay.] So I guess you had the same thing Mako had happen to you? He said he doesn't remember the last few weeks, but Asami and I do. It's just so weeeeird, as if...

What if Asami and I are actually from the future??
