[open] Heaven is Under Our Feet

[glyphe]

WHO: Weiss Schnee and YOU
WHEN: Nov 10 all day

It had been several days, and Weiss had not gotten her waterbending abilities back. She was devastated. Every night was restless, and every morning was spent fruitlessly trying to pull moisture from wherever she could. She would even go somewhere with running water and try to get it to do what she wanted. Nothing was there.

Instead, she found herself being able to move rocks without touching them. And that... was mostly it. She could no longer feel the water circulating her body, but she felt other things; during this whole mess, she was still grounded, still able to keep a cool head on her shoulders. Despite being sad, she still stubbornly tried to regain her abilities.

Weiss was not certain why she wasn't a wreck right now. Waterbending was her life... well, it had been her life. Now it wasn't. The thought that she might never be able to do it again, after taking it for granted for so long made her sick to her stomach. This had never happened before. Was her loss caused by the City? The Spirit Wilds? Or had her body decided she was undeserving of her power?

As she was wandering, looking for answers, she came across a bucket of water sitting outside of a building. No doubt it was used for washing, or catching rain, or something. That didn't matter. What was important was that there was water in it. And Weiss was desperately trying to move it without touching it.

[ooc: she hasn't fully discovered the earthbending gift she has temporarily received. maybe someone can help a girl out? action or prose accepted!]

Wan had lost all his bending. It was only Raava's presence within him, warming him, that had kept him from completely panicking when the felt the spirit enter him and scramble up his insides. It was confused and it made him feel almost empty. But he also couldn't let that stop him from the duty he'd set upon himself in helping the poor of the city. Which meant he was out in the Dragon Flats again, jogging along from here to there to talk with the friends he'd made and see how everyone was doing.

When he spotted Weiss, he diverted from his course to go say hello, "Weiss! Did you drop something?"

Yang was much in the same boat as Weiss and rather than staying frustrated over it, she chose to get her pent up aggression out over the situation in other ways. She couldn't really train at the arena, but it didn't mean she didn't have to keep in shape. So for now she had opted to use her free time taking laps around the city. She was hopeful that her new bending was only temporary and that she would have her firebending back in no time.

Her workout is quickly halted when she catches sight of an all too familiar face doing... whatever it was she was doing. "Uh... Weiss? You okay?"

KICKS DOWN DOOR, falls on face, arrives to post way late

Jaune had been wandering the city again on his search for a job when he happened across her. While he couldn't exactly see what was happening from behind, it looked like either she was leading an invisible orchestra or she was trying to bend... something. Either way, it was enough to catch his curiosity and he decided to approach her.

He didn't want to startle her, so his footsteps were heavy as he walked up behind her. The bucket came into view, and things started to make a little more sense than before.

"Hi there! I couldn't help noticing--" No, bad way to start this conversation. Do over? "Do you need any help?" Still not great, but better.
