Welcome to Republic City!

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.

Nice to meet you, Jin! I'm Ruby! I'm always happy to help. [There was more where that came from...]

Were you headed off somewhere before we came to a memorable first meeting?

[Ah, how nice! She's actually done a good deed for the day! She's so proud...]

I was trying to find the airbenders in this city!
gainedacoupon: (Oh my..)

[personal profile] gainedacoupon 2014-10-05 05:22 am (UTC)(link)
Airbenders?

[ She gave her a curious look. She had thought there weren't anymore of them left in the world. ]

Really?

Y-yeah! [She pauses, fidgeting as she looks down at her hands.] I... I'm kind of one now, too.
gainedacoupon: (Oh my..)

[personal profile] gainedacoupon 2014-10-05 06:06 am (UTC)(link)
I've never met an Airbender before! I can't believe my new friend is an airbender!

[personal profile] sanguine 2014-10-05 06:11 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, heh... I was pretty surprised I turned out to be one, too. Fire Nation and all. Super weird!
gainedacoupon: (Can't help but realize we're both teens)

[personal profile] gainedacoupon 2014-10-05 06:12 am (UTC)(link)
Can I see? I mean would you mind showing me something?

Ummmm, [Ruby's squinting, trying to think of something cool and impressive!] okay! Hold on!

[She's making some-- well, somewhat fluid hand gestures, moving both hands in sync before she points them both to the ground, palms down. With a slow inhale, Ruby closes her eyes for a second, and blasts a large puff of air, enough to propel her into the air some. She moves her hands again, turning them as she lands... sitting cross legged on a ball of air. She manages to stay there for about thirty seconds before it all breaks and she lands on her butt.]

I'm not very good. But that was something I had been working on!
gainedacoupon: (My pleasure!)

[personal profile] gainedacoupon 2014-10-05 02:11 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Jin started clapping excitedly from the little display. ]

That was really amazing!

[ She holds out her hand to help Ruby stand up. ]

[She's taking her hand, still brandishing a smile as stands and dusts herself off.] But, yeah! That's why I'm here! To talk to the airbenders in Republic City! I'm just trying to be better at all... this.
gainedacoupon: (You juggled!)

[personal profile] gainedacoupon 2014-10-06 12:41 am (UTC)(link)
I don't really know where any airbenders are, but hey! Maybe I can help you find them!

[personal profile] sanguine 2014-10-06 03:50 am (UTC)(link)
That would be nice! [What a cool lady!] So, uh, what brings you to this city? Maybe I can help you as a thank you!
gainedacoupon: (Are you sure about that?)

[personal profile] gainedacoupon 2014-10-06 05:03 am (UTC)(link)
You know what? That's kind of a question I'm still asking myself.
sanguine: // stahp (49)

[personal profile] sanguine 2014-10-06 05:11 am (UTC)(link)
Hmm? How come?
gainedacoupon: (Oh my..)

[personal profile] gainedacoupon 2014-10-06 05:14 am (UTC)(link)
Either I spaced out really hard or some kind of magic brought me here, because the last thing I remember doing is having some tea and then I open my eyes and I'm getting yelled at by these moving carts!
sanguine: // stahp (39)

[personal profile] sanguine 2014-10-06 05:16 am (UTC)(link)
That's... [Well, there was only one real word for it.] weird! Are you not from Republic City, or something?
gainedacoupon: (Here's the payment)

[personal profile] gainedacoupon 2014-10-06 05:19 am (UTC)(link)
I'm from Ba Sing Se actually, born and raised.
sanguine: // frisky (11)

[personal profile] sanguine 2014-10-07 01:24 am (UTC)(link)
Oh! So is it bigger here, or back home? I know Ba Sing Se is pretty huge, but I've never been there...
gainedacoupon: (And this is crazy)

[personal profile] gainedacoupon 2014-10-07 01:38 am (UTC)(link)
Ba Sing Se is a lot bigger I think. I mean I've still never explored the top two rings.
