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.

"As well you should be," he says suitably mollified.

"Ha! You and Mom? Leave me in the kitchen unattended?" Bumi also rises to his feet, but it's a far less light affair. "Not likely," he says with a laugh.

"My first few years in the Forces were..." and then he stops, because this Aang didn't get progress reports from his superior officers.

I had to skim to make sure the UF didn't come up in this thread haha

[savedtheworld]

You and Mom. It's so odd to get used to. But Aang tries not to focus on it too much. He simply raises an eyebrow.

"...kitcheny?" He does wonder what he means by Forces, too, but kitcheny things seem easier to talk about.

HA! Me too!

[abitofawildman]

Bumi looks confused for a moment, caught off guard by Aang's addition to his own dropped off thought. Then he gets it.

"Kitcheny" he repeats. "I like that. And yeah, very kitcheny. Let's just say that thanks to that I now excel at cooking Hot and A Lot in large quantities, and leave it at that."

[savedtheworld]

"Sure, sure." There can be plenty of time to get details later. He thinks the important thing right now is getting something nice ready for Jinora whenever she shows.

He knows what it's like to go back home and find nobody there.

"I'll leave myself to your instructions... um... Sifu Cook!"

[abitofawildman]

"Sifu Cookie," he corrects with a wink. Bumi then looks over the side of the bookshelf. "First order of business: how's about a lift down from here?"

[savedtheworld]

"Um... sure!" That does also bring up another point that had been nagging quietly at him regarding Bumi...

Aang makes a quick airbending hop down to the floor, then he waves his arms around to make a funnel of air leading to the top of the shelf. "Just hop into this and I'll ease you to the ground!"

[abitofawildman]

Aang doesn't need to tell Bumi twice, he's long since gotten used to transport by someone else's airbending, and with a whoop he leaps off the bookcase onto the air funnel.

Down is always more fun than up.

[savedtheworld]

He giggles as he cycles his arms around, easing Bumi to the ground. "There! How was that?"

[abitofawildman]

"A little slow for my taste, but it'll do in a pinch. Now c'mon, we've got work todo!" Bumi's arms go up with a flourish, and he begins to march towards the kitchens.

[savedtheworld]

"R-right! Let's go!" And so Aang does an exaggerated march to match Bumi.

He was a weird and unbelievable figure. And on top of all of that, he's family.

Aang smiles warmly.

[That works for me!]
