OPEN.
THAT MORNING.... // Closed to Yang Xiao Long.
[Ah, what a lovely morning! It was a calm and relaxing day, and Yang had a handful of hours before she had to go to work... so, Ruby was taking her time and reading the Republic City Times, hoping that today would be the day she'd finally land herself a job!
After a few minutes of leafing through the paper, however, she felt a sneeze come on. It was going to be fine, she thought to herself, knowing all too well she finally got to the point where she was able to control her airbending enough to know not to send her or any nearby objects flying when she let it go.
But, when she did... she had another problem on her hands. One that was, well, on fire, for one.]
H-WHAT?! [There are flames everywhere! How did she catch her newspaper on fire?!] Oh no! What's going on?! Yang! Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no!!
[Cue the screaming and flailing and overall panicking.]
----
LATER THAT DAY....
[A. What's this? Little Ruby... actually found herself a job? That's great!
Well, if you like being dressed up in a chickencow suit and dancing around in front of a restaurant in order to hand out flyers.
She sure is working hard for her money. Who knows, if you come at the right time, she might be actually handing out dumpling samples! Most of the time though, she will be doing a variety of various dances in order to grab your attention!]
Hey! Come on down and get our world famous dumplings! The noodles are just divine! [...] Watch me break it down, so you can break your fast~!
[Now she's busting out the big moves. Please stop her before she tries spinning on her head.]
----
EVEN LATER THAT DAY....
[B. Okay, now there's screaming. And flailing. And things are on fire again.]
Aah! I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I don't know what's going on!! Why me?!
[This time, it's a huge stack of flyers that she was assigned to hand out. They're all burning and Ruby's trying hard to put them out, but-- wait. No! That'll catch the suit on fire! That suit costs a month's pay!
Help?]
----
COMPLETELY LATER THAT DAY....
[C. Well.
She tried.
It was a valiant effort to make her own money, but Ruby had been sent home for being "hazardous to her working environment" or whatever. She has an hour or two to kill, so she's making her way to the park and flopping down next to the Korra statue, face in her hands, sighing loudly...]
Why is life so hard? I might as well have caused an explosion...
[Oh, no. She's SAD. Cheer the young girl up, maybe?]
----
(ooc. COMPLETELY OPEN. Say hi, take a flyer, make fun of her in the suit, idegaf. Please help this beautiful disaster. She doesn't know why firebending is a thing she is so lost oh my god.
Oh, and even though I have brackets here, if you prefer prose, just reply as that. I will follow suit. :3d)

Well, is there any way you can show me how to like, reel back the firebending? I know how to control it when I'm fighting, but if I'm going to sneeze another explosion, I'd really like to be able to control it!

For now she abandons her bucket in order to (tentatively) step closer to herself. ]
Okay, so your bending comes from here. [ She pokes her sister in the area between her diaphragm and her stomach. ] It's warm like a batch of freshly made cookies.
[ Already her own anger is reeling in at the situation, but what a bummer to not be able to feel the fire within herself right now... She takes a deep breath, demonstrating to Ruby how it's done by placing her hands in fists before her chest, knuckles touching each other. ] You just... kind of bring it down.
[ Taking another breath, show lowers her hand until it reaches her stomach. ] And you'll still feel it within you, but it's not as warm. It's just enough. Never let it bigger than a little candle, got it?
[ Yang spoke from experience, as someone who let her own bending get out of control more times than she would like to admit. When she got angry, the flame took over her whole body until she couldn't see anything but red. ]

Okay, so feels like when you beat too much spicy noodles and it makes your heart burn. Just let it tingle at your fingertips instead. Got it.
no subject
Now time to give it a try! [ She claps Ruby on the back. ] Got get 'em, tigerbear.
