Cyclicality - A Panfandom ATLA/Korra AU Game

A couple days after the portal had appeared, there was a gathering of people on Air Temple Island, right in front of it. Word had quickly spread and reached the ears of certain people that this was particularly important to. Unfortunately, action wasn't immediately taken due to the fact that the younger version of Zuko had been injured during the earthquake. However, after having his wounds attended to, he was ready to go.
The plan was to get the younger Zuko to the palace, confirm his identity, and then have him settle in as the ruler of the Fire Nation. Which would hopefully prevent or stop any further chaos from breaking out there. Zuko's friends, especially those that had been living with him in the wilds, had all been invited to come with him. Once the palace staff was replaced, anyone staying there would be provided with what they needed.
Zuko himself looked a little worse for wear as he waited for everyone to get organized, before making the trip through the portal. Leaning on one crutch, he looked up at the fiery red portal. Amazed that such a thing could even exist. A lot of strange things were happening in their world, and he could only hope that they would get some answers eventually. Not to mention find the people that were missing. People like his future daughter and grandson.

[Spirit Wilds - Backdated to the 7th]
[Of all the things that Duo had figured he'd need to keep around his little camp while he slept, a water source hadn't really figured into it. There was drinkable water in the area and hew as capable of walking. But maybe he'd regret that soon.
The former pilot startled awake somewhat late in the morning (hey, he was going to sleep in when he had the chance), looking around the area quickly for the threat. There wasn't one of course, and he flopped back down with a grumble about stupid nightmares. That was when the acrid scent of smoke started to tickle his sense of smell and he made a face. What was burning?
It took him a moment to realize and he jerked upright, shoving the blanket off of him as it began to smolder.]
Shit!
[By the Water - 7th to 11th]
[Great, he was a walking fire hazard. Well, maybe he was most of the time if you asked Wufei, but that was beside the point. He normally needed tools to start fires! He didn't do it by staring at stuff too long or doing something silly like sneezing. But that was why he was standing in the shallows of the water, poking at a little flame in his hand. Every so often it flared up and he quickly shoved his hands down into the water to put it out.]
Damn. Why doesn't this come with instructions?
[About town 11th to 14th]
[It'd taken some good practice and a new habit of keeping a bucket of water by his bed at all times, but Duo had gotten this freaky sudden influx of fiery super power at least somewhat under control. Thankfully without burning his hair off! Though his sleeves had suffered a little damage around the cuffs but he could live with that.
But that was the only reason he risked going into the library, hoping to find something to help figure this out. Something with pictures though, because Duo was still working on that reading bit. Of course, that didn't mean he didn't still have a big bottle of water in his bag for easy access. Just in case.]

If you could go back in time forty-five some odd years ago, and ask a teenage Bumi what the worst possible outcome of his life could be, he'd tell you:
Trapped at an Air Temple, pretending to be an airbender.
Bumi thinks a lot about this now, as he holds down Air Temple Island as if it were a fort.
With Tenzin and Pema no where to be found, and Jinora and Korra off to a Spirit Portal, Bumi is the highest ranking officer on deck, as horrifying for all involved as that is.
The spirits, it seems, are not without a sense of humor.
1) The Radio Room
With the Barrier down communications that were once off-line are now once again operational, and Bumi spends a few hours here several times a day. Information pours in from the Air Temples and he's been trying to reach the Water Tribes in an effort to find his brother and sister.
Looking to find family, or possibly a crash course in Morse Code? Then this is a good place for you.
2) The kitchen
People need to eat, and Bumi is more than skilled at making the most of limited provisions.
The menu is Hot and A Lot. The ingredients are both vegetarian and...less so.
(Don't worry, he's using separate cooking implements for the meat goods.
3) The meditation pavilion
He's never really been all that fantastic at meditation, or at least the kind of it that involves sitting still and keeping his mind clear, but at this point even Bumi is willing to try just about anything.
4) About town
Times are getting tougher, but there's still a lot to trade and be traded for, and so Bumi finds himself on various logistical missions getting for the Island things that it cannot produce for itself.
5) Other
Create your own, for hours of fun!

[Open: November 7-10]
Today seems to start off as any normal day. Aang wakes up, talks up a number of friends and acolytes and does his morning meditation. He even makes a flawless run through the air gates, without having practiced any airbending yet for the day.
But then, he decides to glide over towards the caves where the sky bison stay. One second, he's standing atop a tree, with his trusty glider in hand; the next, he's sprawled down on the ground, clutching his ankle in pain.
The truth becomes apparent soon enough; somehow, he can't bend anymore. At all. It leaves an empty feeling inside of him, along with a number of worries and fears. What if it doesn't come back? What if he can't be the Avatar anymore... or even just an airbender?
Throughout the first day, he is confined to Air Temple Island, and he uses his staff as a walking stick to get around while his ankle is sprained. On the later days, he can also be found in Republic City. He takes a few trips into town on Appa just to check in on others and see if any other odd happenings have been going on.

[Semi-Closed to Opal / Backdated to the evening of the 7th]
[OOC: Feel free to catch Bolin at Air Temple Island if you want. But the conversation with Opal itself is certainly closed!]
[Bolin had known that Opal had been worried about Zaofu for a while now. What with the Earth Kingdom in abject chaos and her not knowing what had happened to the rest of her family, it wasn't any surprise. And try as Bolin could, there was no way that even he could remove that worry from her, even if he was doing his best to keep her calm and otherwise happy in the interim. Nonetheless, when word came that the barrier had finally peeled back and vanished, Bolin knew that Opal would already be making plans to head out.
[And so he's off to Air Temple Island to go visit her. Tenzin isn't aroundand neither is Meelo to provide any sort of real trouble with him visiting, but nonetheless Bolin still sneaks through the hallways... you know, just in case they've appointed someone else. After all, he didn't want a stern lecture today, not when he might not see Opal for a few weeks. But nonetheless, he makes his way to Opal's room and knocks.]
Opal? You there?
[Closed to Wan / Backdated to a few days after the Fire Ferrets tryouts]
[Bolin had been dreading the day of going off and meeting up with his future teammates, though mainly because he knew that, once he got some yeses, that would eventually mean that he would have to tell a lot of other people no. But at least the easy part was first, right? And that meant finding all of the people that had done miraculously at the event. And first, he was going to find "Long," a.k.a. Wan, who he certainly had a personal bias for... and had done reasonably well at the tryouts.]
Heya... "Long," [Bolin says with a rather knowing look. What can he say; he really likes these codenames!] So... uh... about the tryouts?
[Closed to Yang and Katara / Backdated to shortly after the above]
[Well, after getting rejected by Wan after finding his own plans to create a new team—won't that be fun??—Bolin goes off to plan B. He's seeking out Yang and "June" out in hopes of recruiting them to the team. Of course, he at least got how to contact them, so he'll be making personal calls upon them before posting up the list. So off across Republic City he goes to hunt down the hopeful recruits to the newly reformed Fire Ferrets! He'll step up to the door where they're both living and give a knock.]
Helloooooooo? Anybody home?
[A: Pro-bending Arena / OPEN]
[Bolin has finally posted the results from the Fire Ferrets tryouts. There are two names scrawled on it. Yang's name is clearly on the list, and the waterbender is probably someone no one has heard before, whether it be "June" or someone else, depending upon how the former felt about it. Nonetheless, someone will likely catch him putting the results up. Someone will likely hunt down Bolin and ask if that meant that they weren't on the team, and Bolin would be dreading that conversation. Or someone else might catch him practicing and want to have a serious talk with him.]
[B: Volunteering / OPEN]
[Asami talked to him about it much earlier when all these strange people started appearing in Republic City, along with the Spirit Barrier, and something really connected with Bolin. He had a chance to offer something back to Republic City. He could really make a difference and make some in-roads here. That really spoke to him, especially after all these trips Bolin has taken with Korra in order to change the world and defeat all these horrible bad guys. So Bolin will be volunteering and helping the poor; after all, he knows exactly how that lifestyle was.]
[C: Make up your own / OPEN]
[OOC: Seriously, Bolin could practically be anywhere. If you've got a different idea in mind, let me know!]

#1 - At your service!
#2 - Breaktime! Part I
3 - Breaktime! Part II
Ah, telephones. A luxury item. They're mostly reserved for people with enough money to live in Borough #1 or people of high status, but today could be a very lucky day! Maybe! Satoru is going door to door with a mission and that mission is to sell telephones. Or sell something. Sure, his main goal is to convince consumers that they need a telephone and simply can't live without it, but telephones are still a little pricey. So! Every telephone salesman needs a backup plan. He has a variety of backups carefully packed away in a sack. Plus, he's got an arsenal of skills. Leaky roof? He can fix that! Empty fridge? He can go shopping for you! Whatever it takes to make people think (even more!) positively of Varrick's business.
So, ahem. Knock knock!
#2 - Breaktime! Part I
It's less of a break and more of a "finished with work" kind of thing, but Satoru has taken refuge in Avatar Korra Park, something he finds a little funny because he'd only recently learned the name of the current Avatar. Oops. At the moment, it's around sunset and he's demonstrating quite the skill! The "cannot play sports" skill, if you will. He's doing it mostly to pass time (and to probably forget about how terrible of a salesman he is), so he doesn't seem too bothered when he misses his ball with the stick he's using, or when the ball doesn't go very far. At least he has a good attitude about it.
3 - Breaktime! Part II
Okay, so sports aren't his thing but that's fine. Sports aren't his passion! Engineering is. So he's ditched the ball and his stick he stole from nearby a poor, defenseless tree and pulls out a sheet of parchment. Instead of drawing a blueprint of anything—he's 100% sure he'll never build anything as cool as one of those airships any time soon—he folds it up into a paper airship instead. By the time he's got something airworthy, the sun's just about finished setting. To be honest, Satoru thinks his build is pretty good for it being made out of a sheet of parchment. When he throws it in the air, it even flies a little. Hooray!
Things are pretty terrific! Until he excitedly catches the paper airship and it catches ablaze out of nowhere. What. No. WHY?!
"C-Combustible paper?! Do they make that here?!"
Satoru instinctively drops the burning paper and it drops into the grass. At least he has the brains to snuff out the fire with the heel of his boot before it can spread. Hopefully... no one saw that....
"Who invents that kind of thing, anyway?"

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!]

It was mid-morning, and Toph hadn't come out of her room. Mid-morning, verging towards noon, and there hadn't even been a sound.
Toph wasn't always an early riser, admittedly. She tended to go with the flow of whatever she felt like on that particular day, sometimes up with the sun to keep her own rigorous training schedule (or to bend Zuko's mask before he headed anywhere), sometimes sleeping in and emerging later with her hair like an overgrown bush, ready to scarf down breakfast.
But today . . . silence.
She was still.

( THAT MORNING.... // Closed to Yang Xiao Long. )
----
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)

As soon as it was clear the barrier was gone, Korra and Jinora had jumped into action. They let all relevant people--Aang, Bumi, Wan, Lord Zuko--know that they would be gone for a little while, and then immediately set about preparations.
Korra checked in with Naga one more time before tossing her pack onto Oogi's saddle and accepting another pack from one of the air acolytes--it was no doubt filled with carefully wrapped food for the journey. She checked that before finding a place for it on the saddle, too. They'd rushed through the packing, aware that the barrier might reform at any time and trap them in the city yet again. If they wanted to check the Spirit World for clues, they needed to do it now.
"Hey, Jinora?" Korra called out as she jumped down lightly. "Ready to go when you are."

Zuko had woken up this morning feeling... a little bit out of sorts. He couldn't really explain it. He just felt different. Colder, like his inner fire had gone out and he couldn't stoke it again. But that was silly, because there's no way that could happen. Besides, it was getting cool now with the season change, so that was probably it.
He hadn't noticed the light that had settled upon him last night. Nor did he know about the barrier having fallen. Yet.
Getting ready for the day, with his mask on, Zuko went out into the wilds for his daily morning firebending practice. Once he was in his usual secluded spot, Zuko took the mask off again and began his warm up exercises. As he went through the motions, the usual warmth and fire that should appear... didn't. He paused and scowled deeply. Something... wasn't right.
He tried again.
Nothing.
Now he was starting to get worried. With a few yells accompanied with some kicks and punches, he was dismayed when no fire appeared at all. Not even a hint of it.
This was bad.
Really bad.
This was even worse than when he had 'lost his stuff' after joining sides with Aang. Even then he could at least create little wisps of flame and some smoke. But this... nothing happened at all!
He tried one more time. Still no fire. But then he heard the ripple of a small pond right next to him. Zuko froze instantly. He was here alone, wasn't he? Turning around, he looked around for someone else. Probably a waterbender.
"Show yourself!" he shouted with a side swipe of his arm as he turned again. ... And the water moved once more. What? Looking down at the pond, he then moved his arms again, and stared in mixed amazement and horror as he began to... Bend. The. Water.
And then the wilds would echo with Zuko's cry.
"WHAAAAAT?!"
"THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE!"
---
[Closed to Lord Zuko]
Later, a masked figure was running through the streets of the high class section of Republic City. Going up the steps and to the door of the Fire Nation style house where his older counterpart was living. Completely ignoring anyone that tried to stop him.
There he was banged on the door with his fist with the utmost urgency!
He hadn't noticed the light that had settled upon him last night. Nor did he know about the barrier having fallen. Yet.
Getting ready for the day, with his mask on, Zuko went out into the wilds for his daily morning firebending practice. Once he was in his usual secluded spot, Zuko took the mask off again and began his warm up exercises. As he went through the motions, the usual warmth and fire that should appear... didn't. He paused and scowled deeply. Something... wasn't right.
He tried again.
Nothing.
Now he was starting to get worried. With a few yells accompanied with some kicks and punches, he was dismayed when no fire appeared at all. Not even a hint of it.
This was bad.

A) City Streets
[With the barrier having fallen the previous night, Henry's already on the look out for some semblance of his family. They still hadn't shown up yet which is beginning to worry the boy. But, now they had to be here. After all, something like that bright light had to mean something.
However, he did not expect his day to start off like this. As he's looking about trying to find some new clue to this ever going mystery he begins to feel his nose twitch irritably. He walks on but goes rubs his nose to stop the irritation. It still continues to itch and twitch to the point that he knows he's going to sneeze. He stops abruptly feeling the sneeze well up inside him, going up through his chest and into his nose and:]
ACHOOO!
[A sneeze that loud is bound to catch anyone's attention. The real eye catcher is what follows right after. A 12 year old boy flying about 20 feet into the air and grabbing onto a lamppost who now dangerously hangs off of it. There's only one thing to do:]
HEEEEELP!
b) Air temple island
[So after his little misadventure, Henry's first thought is to go to the place where apparently this happens quite often or at the very least who knows what it is. He'd only been given a brief understanding of what airbending was and what happened earlier definitely qualified as such. He wanders the grounds for a bit, looking for just about anybody who'd have an idea of what the heck just happened to him.]

A: Park Fountains
[ During her stay here in Republic City, Jin had been doing a little exploring to get herself familiar wtih this new city. One of her favorite places she'd found was the park, or rather a particular place in the park. The park had fountains that just seemed so beautiful and it reminded her of home.
It was such a peaceful place to sit and relax, so Jin found herself sitting on the edge of the fountain with her feet in the water just kicking at it and enjoying the chilliness. She wasn't even bothered by the strange stares she was getting from people.
What's the fun in enjoying a fountain if you couldn't get a little wet, right? ]
B: Spirit Wilds
[ The Spirit wilds were certainly a big attraction in Republic City to someone who wasn't used to this place. Jin knew from the warnings of people and from the newspaper articles that it could get really dangerous to roam too close and get too curious about the spirits, but it was hard to resist. When you lived in a time where spotting spirits didn't happen every day, it was a little exciting being able to watch.
So Jin stood at a far enough distance from the wilds, just watching some of the spirits scurrying around in fascination. ]
They're surprisingly cute...
C: Little Ba Sing Se
[ Despite the fact that things seemed so hi-tech in this area, it really just gave her a big blast of home. All the colors, all the shops it was all like little parts of Ba Sing Se were pushed all the way over here in Repubic city. She was wandering around to all of the shops after work, mostly just window shopping and taking in the familiar feeling of home.
She had a small basket under her arms full of flowers she bought and anyone she spotted while she was window shopping with a frown on their face, she gave them a flower to brighten up their day before running off to explore more.]

[Trowa just kept walking, subtly altered uniform jacket to help him blend in a little more among the masses of various nationalities, ages, and all other manner of people. Steps slow and measured without dragging, posture carefully slumped just a little. Really, just another fairly well dressed teenager visiting a new city.
The most recent newspaper was tucked under an arm, not that he could read it but he'd work on that. In the mean time, he'd listen, go from one group of gossips to another without paying them any visual attention to give away his eavesdropping.
Hands shoved in pockets, long bang hanging over an eye as usual, expression carefully set at bland neutrality. No one to be concerned about.]
(OOC: Feel free to run into Trowa anywhere around the city!)

A: Outside Lower Class Apartments
[ Despite her upbringing as a nobleman's daughter and her status of "best friend" to the Fire Nation's princess, there was a lot that Ty Lee did not learn growing up. She could recite all the former Fire Lords, knew what utensils to use at a former dinner and more than knew how to handle herself in a fight. But one thing Ty Lee never did learn was the real concept of money.
All her life Ty Lee had gotten everything she had needed for survival. Either her father paid for things or Azula intimidated them out of people. Even a part of the traveling circus she didn't really need to worry about room and board. Republic City on the other hand, was an entirely different mater.
While Ty Lee had no problem flirting with the locals boys for food and other necessities, this was one situation she couldn't flirt her way out of. Ty Lee had been unfortunate enough that her landlord was one entirely against newcomers getting a "free break", so when the teenager came up empty with rent for the month they had graciously shown her the door.
Ty Lee had been about to protest when her few bags of things were unceremoniously thrown out onto the street, the latch opening as it hit the ground and clothing spilling out into the dirty street. The teenager pouted. ] Fine, I didn't want to live in this dirty place anyway!
[ With a huff, Ty Lee shoved her clothing back into the bags and could be found the rest of the day carting around her bags and looking for a new place to live. ]
B: Street Performing
[ If Ty Lee was going to find a new place to live and start paying rent, she was going to need money to do it. While Varrick had offered her a spot in his movers, it wasn't getting her the money she needed now. It was only natural that Ty Lee chose to do something she was good at-- Performing!
Although, it was only street performing, Ty Lee quickly learned she could get a crowd and a decent amount of yuan with her special skill set. She can be found on various streets through the week, even going as far as to paint her face with white and pink make up for lack of a proper circus costume. ]
C: Yoga in the park
[ A girl had to keep her aura pink somehow, especially when she had the additional stress of actively trying to make money and find a place to live. Ty Lee can be found in the park every day at sun-up and shortly before sun-down doing sun salutations as well as more advanced moves to remove any negativity her body harbors. ]
