[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.

IM ON A BOAT AND...

[phoenixstrut]

Dove had barely even thought twice when Varrick had offered to give her a tour of his yacht. Of course, she had just met him, and he was someone with significant power, but neither was a strong enough deterrent. Thier initial meeting had gone well, and with high hopes and a calm mind, she had decided another wouldn't do any harm. While she was comfortable meeting others at random, it was nice knowing someone in the city and being invited places again.

Thus, with tigerdillo in tow and high end boots tapping lightly with each step, the young woman made her way to where Varrick had explained his boat would be waiting, holding a map in hand and a relieved expression on her face once she was close enough to spot it the vessel. With a deep breath, she straightened her shirt, then bruahed her hair back over her shoulder as she approached, her head held high and curiosity written all over her face.

And your ship has sailed.

[wolfstrike]

It was a day like any other day, and Yuri was lounging on the edge of Varrick's yacht when he saw the girl making her way up. He perked up in interest, as did Repede. Finally, something was happening. Though there was something that gave him pause. Though in the next moment he jumped off and into Dove's path before she could get on the vessel.

"Whoa there, Tigerdillo."

Though its actually unclear if he's speaking to the animal or the girl.

Repede then walked past his partner and came up to giant cat, sniffing her out. Yuri though, kept his attention on the girl. He was actually looking her over, one might think he was kinda checking her out. In a really obvious and rude way.

Re: And your ship has sailed.

[phoenixstrut]

She stepped back in surprise, lifting her hands in front of her protectively.

For a moment, she simply studied the man in front of her, eyes sweeping from his boots, to the sword at his side, up to his eyes. When it appeared he was just a guard, she relaxed, lowering her hands to her sides and standing tall once more.

Assuming he meant Maomi in his address, she reached back to stroke the tigerdillo's side, watching as Repede approached before turning her attention back to the man. "Don't worry, she's trained," she told him with a slight smile. When she caught him looking her over, however, she blinked, flushed a little and narrowed her eyes just the slightest bit. "Did you want me to pose for you?" she asked, her expression innocent but her tone almost daring.

[wolfstrike]

Once Repede had sniffed Maomi to his satisfaction, he turned and walked back onto the boat. While Yuri just blinked at the girl then shrugged and turned away, a hand raised in dismissal.

"Naw, you're good."

And with that he followed Repede back onto the yacht's deck.

[phoenixstrut]

While Dove only stared as the man walked away-- really?-- in disbelief, Maomi had other plans. With a soft and curious "mrowl," the cat reached forward and, with one massive paw, attempted to scoop the dog back toward her for closer inspection, decidedly sniffing him out herself.

[wolfstrike]

Repede wasn't expecting that at all! His one eye widening as he's pulled back by a large paw and wuffs indignantly in protest.

Hearing that, Yuri turned around and blinked in surprise. He then laughed, placing a hand on his hip as he watched this with some amusement.

"Looks like you found yourself a new friend, Repede."

[phoenixstrut]

Dove's own indigence faded when the dog barked at Maomi, and she reached out to still her companion as she curiously nudged at Repede with her nose.at the girl's touch, the tigerdillo backed away and sat, still watching the dog with interest.

"Sorry about that..." she apologized, though her tone wasn't quite as gentle as it could have been. "Maomi is just curious I guess."

[wolfstrike]

"Don't worry about it," Yuri said with a laugh still in his voice.

Repede huffed at the nudge, not exactly impressed with the forced contact. The dog moved over to sit next to Yuri with a snort, being most indignant.

"Repede likes to do things on his own terms."

is she talking about yuri or repede WHO KNOWS

[phoenixstrut]

Well... at least he wasn't giving off a completely sleazy vibe. Dove eyed him for a minute, then shook her head. "Turns out she does too," she sighed, glancing over at the cat as it rose from its haunches again and took half a step toward Repede once more. She stopped and growled softly when Dove caught the ridge of her neck, gently holding her back. "I don't think she's ever actually met a dog before..."

With a deep breath, she looked to the man again. "I'm Dove," she told him, almost cautious.

Dove wasn't sure if she had ever met a dog, herself.

[wolfstrike]

Repede huffed and woofed as Dove introduced herself, Yuri tilting his head to look down at his dog companion with a smirk, before looking back up at the girl.

"He's never met a Tigerdillo before either."

There might not be dogs in the Fire Nation, but they're certainly around in the Earth Kingdom. And even then, this was no ordinary dog.

"I'm Yuri, and this is Repede."

....yep

[phoenixstrut]

"I'm starting to think not many here have," she told him with a small grin, sarcasm heavy in her admission.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Yuri, Repede," she added after a few beats, perhaps still a little suspicious.

Another beat,

"So do you do you always drop out of the sky and visually molest your guests?" She asked him conversationally, leaning her weight to one foot and casually sweeping her hand slowly in front of her.

Can't a guy appreciate a nice body? Gosh.

[wolfstrike]

"Huh?" Yuri blinked at Dove cluelessly, before Repede snorted at him.

"Oh right. It's nothing personal. I just guard this place for Rick."

Yeah, he's pretty casual when it comes to talking about his boss. Drives Varrick crazy really. It's kinda fun.

[phoenixstrut]

Yeah, nice try with the dumb act. She knows.

She raises a brow at the nickname, grinning. "Rick? He actually lets you call him that?" she muses, thinking to herself how ill fitting it is for the man she had met. Shifting her weight to her other leg, she lifts a hand, a bright flame springing to life in her palm. "Must not be a very experienced guard if you were going to let a firebender inside without at least getting her name first..."

[wolfstrike]

"Nope. But I do it anyway. It's easier to say."

But then as Dove shows her fire, Yuri doesn't really look all that impressed.

"Yeah well, last I heard the triads didn't hire pretty little rich girls."

Yuri isn't stupid. He can tell this girl is well off, and really she doesn't exactly strike him as much of a threat. Firebender or not.

Darling, I'm a nightmare, dressed like a daydream~

[phoenixstrut]

Dove barely looked offended as she put out the small flame in her hand, though it was a sobering comment. "You know, you really shouldn't underestimate 'pretty little rich girls'" she reminded him. "But you're right, I'm not a threat. At least, not to Varrick."

[wolfstrike]

"Yeah yeah," he said while turning and waving a hand dismissively as he started to walk off.

Sorry sweetheart, he doesn't really put much stock in the spoiled upper classes. They're all talk for the most part.

[profiteers]

"Hey Yuri, I need you to come look at this r- oh hello, there!" It's your lucky day, Yuri, hot lady on board the ship trumps Varrick embarrassing you any day. Excuse him sidling on up here.

"Dove, lovely to see you again." Going for the hand kiss of course, he's a suave bitch after all.

[phoenixstrut]

She stayed quiet as he turned to walk away, the small fire within her calming. His disapproval and lack of interest gave her thoughtful pause...

...which was efficiently swept to the side for later with Varrick's arrival.

"Varrick," she cooed in return greeting, genuinely pleased to see him again, especially now that it appeared Yuri was going to leave her on her own to find him inside. "It's good to see you! Miami and I were just getting to know Yuri here." She motioned to the long haired man, then to the dog with the hand Varrick hadn't taken. "And Repede of course."

[wolfstrike]

Hey, Yuri is all for distractions to keep Varrick off his back with more of his crazy ideas. This is exactly why he feels no shame in giving his boss that nickname. But his name being called did make him pause, even if Varrick's attention went straight to Dove.

See, this is why he doesn't take rich folk seriously. Just look at this specimen right here. Yuri just stood there with a vaguely amused expression, and a hand on his hip, as Dove mentions that they had been getting acquainted.

[profiteers]

"He's a hell of a guy, Yuri. I hope you've been showing our guest all the best of our hospitality." Because that seems very likely. Varrick's just going to focus all the attention on Dove, offering her an arm. "So this is the yacht. Did you want the grand tour or just the high lights. Are you hungry? Thirsty? I can make Yuri make some tea for us. It's not as good as my last assistant would have done, but she's been missing since this whole spirit barrier shenanigans started."

[phoenixstrut]

She snorted softly, risking a peek at Yuri again. "Very welcoming," she said simply, waving a hand. Soooo welcoming.

The options he gave her were extensive, and she hesitated to answer right off. She was here to talk work, or at least, that had partly been her intention. For now, she supposed, it couldn't hurt at all to have him show her around, and she was curious. "Why don't you show me your favorite features? And then we could have tea with Yuri," she suggested in answer, half grinning over at the man.

[profiteers]

"Sounds great! Yuri, get the kettle going. We'll be back in no time." Giving you a grin, bro, don't you just love working for him.

Meanwhile Dove is being offered an arm, may we commence the tour?

[wolfstrike]

Tea? Oh great. Because having tea with two rich people and listening talk about stuffy subjects was exactly how he wanted to spent his day. Why is he working for this man again? Still, Yuri masked his discontent and merely heaved an exaggerated sigh that looked almost comical at Varrick's request.

"Yeah yeah, okay. You guys have fun."

And with that, he turns to and heads towards the boat's kitchen to prepare that tea.
