[OPEN] November Catch All

[phoenixstrut]

Same scenarios as the test drive plus a few!

A. Just got here!

Dove was amazed when she finally arrived in Republic City, her eyes bright and sparkling with excitement as she explored its streets. It held just as much history as her own home, and, for her, ten times the wonder and opportunity. At her side, a large tigerdillo padded along with her, its head low and its own eyes calm as it, too, took in the foreign sights with her owner.

There were so many people, from so many places, and for a moment, she was overwhelmed with the pure joy that came with it. Sure, she very obviously looked like a tourist, but so what? She'd soon call Republic City home... if she could find a decent place to stay.

Until then, she would meet and get to know as many people as she could, just like the extrovert she was.

It might be unfortunate for her to cross the street and NOT see that car coming...
Maybe she's just really, really curious about that statue.


B. Spirit Wilds

Rumor of Spirit habitation in the city immediately caught Dove's attention, and with no hesitation at all, the girl set off to investigate. She would quickly find herself directed toward the spirit wilds, and others would soon find her curiously exploring what she could. Most of the spirits she finds, however, seem wary of her.

Her reaction to one alighting on her arm is sure to be an experience.

C. SHOPPING OMG

...Dove new how to shop, and there was little way for her to escape the pull of Little Ba Sing Sei. One could easily spot her moving slowly from store to store, trying on the latest fashions--she was very used to high end clothing-- and pouring over each piece and new style she could find. At the end of the day, one might find her with a good sized cup of tea, recovering from her adventure at leisure, Maomi curled around her seat as she sits outside a tea shop.

D. Firebending

Dove's fitness routine was very, very important. One might find her out and about just as the sun begins to set, working through her firebending techniques. Unfortunately, as she's new to the city, she has yet to find a very good place to practice... Maybe you could help her out?

She'd also totally be down for a quick sparring session.

Her type of people? Well he didn't know what type of people those were, but they were clearly good types of people if they talked about him........ right? That made her a good sort of person to know, he supposes. It only seemed perfectly logical to Bolin.

"Me? The conversation piece? I'm really flattered!" he says, grinning as if he'd just won the best prize there was. "I guess I must have gotten ahead of Varrick once again, it seems, to have met you first." He offers her a handshake with extreme enthusiasm, as if somehow she were the celebrity of the pair. "Dove, it's great to meet you! So... what sort of things do you do then? Since you know Varrick and all."

[phoenixstrut]

She beamed to match his grin, unable to hold back a laugh at his enthusiasm. "I actually worked with a theatre troupe that bases itself in the Capital City," she explained, shrugging a little once he freed her hand. "But I met Varrick when I got here-- on accident, actually." A slight look of confusion at a sudden thought, then a sheepish smile. "He's invited me over to his yacht later this week..."

[lavamylife]

"Yeah, that's where Varrick does most of his business," Bolin says with a knowing look. "It's where I met him too, to be perfectly honest. Definitely the strangest businessman I know, but he is a pretty smart guy if you get past all of that." After all, Nuktuk did do fairly well! He knew his audience.

"But you were doing plays before coming here?" he continues, his voice jumping back to enthusiastic. "I imagine that would make you perfect for movers! They're really kind of the same thing all and all. I mean, I never did any of that theatre stuff before starring in Nuktuk, but Ginger must have!"

His knowing look would be met with an amused but curious grin of her own as she replied. "He did seem a little... eccentric," she giggled, shaking her head. "But it was fun getting a quick tour of the city from him. A lot more welcoming than exploring it on our own, anyway."

His return to her background was more than flattering, and she bit back an even brighter smile and gleam of hope. "I would love to do movers!" she admitted openly, pulling her shoulders up in a small shrug. "I'm not really sure how any of the technology works, but if there are ever auditions, I would be more than happy to try it. That was initially one of my reasons for wanting to visit Republic city." Ginger would make for interesting competition, but she was almost always up for a challenge.

She gave another giggle and looked up at the earthbender, genuinely thrilled to have found such an enthusiastic conversation partner. "I never would have guessed you didn't have a theatre background, though I suppose your pro-bending would have taken up a lot of your time."

[lavamylife]

Well, Varrick was always willing to give a lot of time to those that he thought he could influence to do his own bidding. Not that Bolin was actually thinking of it, but it at least was in line with how Varrick treated him. "Eccentric, yes. Sometimes without a few scruples, yes. But a fun guy who tries hard to help out when he can." That's perhaps an egregious simplification of the facts, but it's the way Bolin would refer to them.

Bolin can't help but reflect Dove's smile as she grins, happy to talk about her past. "Well maybe I will just have to put in a good word for you with Varrick. I mean, after all, I'd love to do them again! And you seem like a wonderful person to act with!" Yes, he's clearly a good judge of character, even so soon! He leans in a little bit and talks in more of a whisper: "Besides, I don't think anyone really knows how it works besides Varrick and his directors!"

But with the focus returning to him, he laughs a little bit. "Wellll, my acting career just happened to work out because our pro-bending team wasn't quite as good last year from the year before, isn't that right, Pabu?" He looks into the Fire Ferret cowering in his shirt, giving him a sad look. "So we didn't get to compete nearly as much, so that gave me a little more time for Varrick's movers. But this year... well, hopefully I can do both?"
