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.

Asami has to hold back a bit of a smirk at that.

"Well, there's people showing up from supposedly different worlds, I don't think I'm going to let much of anything surprise me anymore."

"Yeah, I've heard something about that too," says Bolin with something of a defeated sigh. Even when they were fighting Unalaq and Zaheer, things had made at least some amount of sense. They didn't have answers then, but things made some amount of sense. "What's going on here, Asami? I mean, how can all these people from times and places just randomly get sent here? Or why? It's not like we already don't have enough to worry about with what's going on back home in Ba Sing Se."

Asami raises a skeptical eyebrow.

"Don't ask me. I barely understand how all the spirits even work." They just occasionally float around her office and bother her if she leaves the windows open.

"We already have so many refugees that floated in from Ba Sing Se, and now this. It wouldn't be such an impending problem, if we could actually connect to the rest of the world."

Bolin is also not one to understand the spirits. While he definitely doesn't like the fact that they don't know what's going on, he at least can have a spirit of optimism since there are things they can do.

"Well I guess the only thing we can do in the meantime is to try to help out everyone that does come here as best we can, right?" Finally Bolin attaches himself to a reasonable idea. "You've been volunteering with that of late, right? Is there anything a guy like me could do for the cause?"

"I think I'm going to be putting together a little charity event today. It's rushed, but we can get it organized. Just basic supplies to keep the newcomers from going cold and hungry." Talk about showing up with nothing.

"You're welcome to stop by and help, I could always use more hands."

[lavamylife]

To be honest, that really does appeal to Bolin at a much more significant level. "That actually sounds like a good idea. So many of these people will be so lost and confused when they come to the city. It's so big and hard to find your way around in! Besides, it wouldn't be right not to help out people who won't have any place to live and or know where to turn for help!"
