Cyclicality - A Panfandom ATLA/Korra AU Game

01 March 2015 @ 09:48 pm

ooc: The posts in here will take place shortly prior to part 2 of the plot.

A. Docks (Closed to Bumi) - The yelp is cut off all too quickly. The woman's pale hand snakes forward, impossibly fast, closing around the man's throat. She's strong -- too strong -- the momentum of it sends him crashing back against the wall, pinning him under her grasp. Her fingers press like daggers into the soft flesh at his jaw and around his windpipe. Her eyes are cold and black as stones.

He will not be leaving this encounter easily. If at all.

"The Avatar believes that you are capable of learning." Her gaze never leaves his face. "I do not."

B. Spirit Wilds (Closed to Mia) - The water of the former fountain twists in response to the footsteps, swirls. The Mother of Faces emerges from the depths, the great branches of her crown dripping.

She surveys the group -- two stone-faced men, each with a pouch dangling at their belts, holding onto a small, blue-haired girl. One hand lifts; the girl is released. Apparently the Mother has no concern about the girl running off.

"Mia." The name is greeting and question both. What exactly had she been doing?

[February Catchall]

A: The Triad - OPEN

[With all of the unrest running through the city in the past months, a little more was hardly a shocking surprise to at least Opal herself. Not that she relished in more fighting and bickering but it wasn't such a surprising view anymore. It seemed like the spirit barrier coming down had caused more strife than it ever had while it was up.

With things squared away and calmed down in Zaofu, Opal could dedicate herself to training a bit more. Now it was more of the occasional trip home than the constant task of being there that it had been before. And that freed Opal up for both more time training and more time in Republic City itself.

That had unfortunate negative sides too. A run in with Triad members in broad daylight had turned into them turning on the airbender in her obvious acolyte garb. Their argument with her is loud and heated.]

You Airbenders are supposed to be all about protecting everyone, yeah? So wheres our protection? Where's our help when our buddies are being spirited off?

[The small group all voice their agreement with their evident leader, even as Opal speaks over top of them.]

We're doing all we can. These last few months have been trying on everybody.

[Not that her words seem to sooth anyone. This is likely going to come to blows or at the very least the airbender tossing around a few people. Help out?]

B: Air Temple Island - OPEN

[Opal's home away from home you could say. It's very likely one will be seeing more of the young woman nowadays, returning to her former habits of helping out about the island more. One can run into her:

I: Cleaning Up - Whether this includes sweeping walkways or helping with the morning/evening dishes, she'll be willing to help.
II: Training - The primary reason she's here after all.
III: In Her Room - Stop on by if you like ... and if you can get into the women's dorm.]

C: The Library - OPEN

[Ever since Jinora showed her where the library was in that first month of being in Republic City, Opal has taken to the building just like one would expect her to. Expect to see her exploring the shelves, checking out books or taking advantage of the reading spaces tucked here and there within the building itself.]

D: Wildcard

[For those prompts that just don't fit anywhere else.]

Air Temple Island - [Open]

[Dwarven Vow number ten: Play hard, play often!

That's the happy thought running through Lloyd's head as the teen makes his way off the boat and onto Air Temple Island. Okay, so maybe training isn't exactly playing, but it's still his day off from work and it's something different from his everyday routine. Opal might be here, too, or Jinora, or Aang. Meeting up with someone he knows is always an improvement on any day.

On the other hand, he hasn't really had a chance to meet many of the other airbenders here. Despite his intentions, it's easy getting sidetracked - by work, by watching pro-bending matches, by...

...pie?

Wow, yes, that's pie he smells. It doesn't take long to spot the source, either: two pies cooling on the sill of an open window he just passed. Man, they smell good.

People on the island might run into Lloyd a few places: an open area where he's practicing his airbending, or maybe when he knocks on the Air Temple's door, or possibly spotting him hovering around those pies, clearly struggling to resist the temptation to snitch a fingerful of the whipped stuff on top.]

[Open] Introduction

A: The streets
[ If Lin emerging from the spirit wilds wasn't odd, she didn't know what was. She wasn't spiritual. She had no idea what she was doing in or even so close to them. She ran her hand over her face once she was free from the vines. She would like to know why she was near the vines. She was not particularly spiritual and she wasn't quite so fond of dabbling in something like spiritual matters. It was another language to her. She shook her head to try and clear the fog that felt like it was clouding her mind. She was chief of police. She couldn't stand around and question all day. She had to take care of a few things, namely her job. She was going to take the long way. She could use the time to both figure out what was going on and to make sure no one was causing trouble while she was around. ]

B: Police Station
[ Lin can be found almost anywhere near or in the station. She didn't know what happened but whatever did it threw all of the work she used to have out of whack. Things had changed. People seemed to react slightly differently to her but she was willing to chalk that up to imagination. Either way she looks like she's in a more natural state of being then she was before. She's not to back in the saddle yet but she's creeping closer. Either way she has a lot on her mind and the pacing, the work, the people all help distract from the more useless thoughts. ]

Visit to Air Temple Island [OTA]

It's been some weeks now since Yuri had discovered his new... talent. He had been disgruntled at best to learn that he was suddenly a bender. After all, he had taken pride in being able to defend himself without needing bending, using his sword skills instead. So this was quite the change and shock for him. A lot of people had their bending changed or suddenly granted to them, but most of them he'd come to find out, had lost it or gone back to normal. In his case though, he still had it.

He was an airbender now, and he had to deal with it.

So deal with it he did. Yuri had experimented with his new skills in private. Practicing when there was no one around. But lets face it, he couldn't learn as well by himself. He had never needed a master to teach him swordsmanship when he was a kid, though he did hone his skills while he was in the Earth Kingdom military. But well, bending was a whole different animal. So it was time to make a pilgrimage... to Air Temple Island. Where all the airbenders supposedly hung out.

Anyone there might see him wandering around, sword held at his side as it hung from his hand. No, he had no shame when it came to carrying weapons. He was also followed by an interesting dog. Repede, after all, was the only one that actually knew about Yuri's airbending. So they walked around, taking a look at stuff. If anyone was practicing, they would find him trying to watch discretely. He wasn't quite ready to just admit that he needed help. He was here to observe, that was it.

003 - January Catch-all

[Bolin has been busy. In fact, his social calendar has pretty much been jam-packed for about the last month, and it shows no signs of easing. Every once in a while he won't be present in Republic City as he's off to Zaofu with the love of his life on what he thinks ought to be a life-changing field trip, but it actually turns out to be a boring, boring thing since he barely gets to see Opal while he's there. Meanwhile, when he's back in Republic City, he's splitting his time (perhaps marginally unsuccessfully) between training at the arena, getting the Fire Ferrets on their feet for the upcoming tournament, potentially working with Varrick on a new mover idea, and... well, he's helping the poor, needy foreigners by buying food and supplies for them. With the last of these, he's practically prioritising them over himself.

And so, if you catch Bolin, he's going to be looking a little tired, thinner, and perhaps more than a little stressed and frustrated.]

A. At a café [Open]

[You might find Bolin in a small ramen shop in one of the less expensive districts in town. While Bolin's got some money stashed away, it's not like he's making a steady income quite yet with the pro-bending thing or the acting gig, so he's been a little more thrifty on himself, especially since some amount of food is going to help others.

[The meal he's eating will look a little meagre, and while he hasn't asked any of his more well-to-do friends for help (because this is something he's doing on his own for now), he will probably still be a little hungry when he finishes. After all, he's the equivalent of a pro-sports athlete in the middle of training.]

B. Air Temple Island [Open]

[In his few moments of spare time, he will try to get to Air Temple Island, but he'll remember about halfway there that Opal's not at home, and he'll look kind of dejected and sad. There's a lot on his mind, and he could totally use a friend to talk to him, though he's not exactly going to be rushing to perfect strangers to spill his guts.

[That said, he's got his fire ferret Pabu and his adopted turtle duck Kitsi with him, and he'll be feeding them in the attempt to make himself feel a bit better about life. He'll just say that he's taking them out to enjoy nature, especially since the turtle duck seems to have taken a liking to him.]

C. Pro-bending Arena [Open]

[Bolin is working out at the gym. Yang and/or the ~~NPC~~ waterbender that are officially on the Fire Ferrets might be with him as well, and he's explaining how things go. However, he doesn't seem ridiculously into it, and he's just not quite hitting the bricks like he's used to. But the last thing he wants to do is disappoint the fans ~~like last year~~, his sponsors, OR his teammates, so he's keeping at it, trying to get a rhythm going.

[But he's clearly distracted, and occasionally he'll just miss a target outright. It's not like he's doing overly badly--he still manages to do decently. But it's not his usual thing.]

D. Republic City, near a Pet Shop [Open]

Turtle ducks, turtle ducks for sale! I've got 26 of them looking for a good home!

[Yes, Bolin happens to have a large box full of turtle ducks that had been deposited in his apartment by the spirits' good(?) graces. He's adopted one, the smallest of them, and of course Pabu is on hand to "help" him sell some turtle ducks. But it seems like there's not many takers for them, seeing as how so many other places got plastered with turtle ducks for some reason. And so he's just having one of those moments.

[Help a guy out?]

E. Varrick's Studio/Yacht/Wherever [Closed to Varrick, Dove, and/or Ty Lee]

[And after enough hiatus, Varrick has finally started the plans to make a new mover, and Bolin's of course going to be attending the meetings, you know, since he's going to be one of the stars in the new film, of course. At the very least, there will be talk about what's going to be happening along with a general meet-and-greet with all of the actors. Bolin will be dressed up a little for the attendance (at Lord Varrick's insistence, of course; he doesn't want any low-class people in his presence), and otherwise Bolin will be looking around somewhat awkwardly, waiting to figure out what exactly is going to be going on.]

F. Zaofu [Closed to Opal]

[Bolin is off for his one-week pilgrimage to Zaofu with Opal, and at the very least he'll be travelling there with her. However, Bolin isn't looking forward to it as much as he was the first time last month as, despite their best efforts, Bolin didn't really get to have much Opal time given that she was busy with meetings to actually help run the city. So perhaps Bolin's not going to be quite so fond of the place now. I mean, just how many times can you go around the city appreciating the "fine" "sculptures" created my Skrillex Beifong?

So Bolin's going to be bored to tears, but he's still going to try very hard for a brief bit to see Opal when she's hopefully less busy. If there's such a time?]

G. Create Your Own?

[OOC: Want to plot? Have I not given you enough options?? Ping me on Plurk. Or send the journal a PM if you like, either or.]

Fire Nation Catch-All - For all your November Fire Nation Needs

What: See the Title
Where: Fire Nation!
When: Any time you're in the Fire Nation during November (following the portal opening)

The Portal between Air Temple Island and the Fire Nation comes out directly into the Royal Plaza. Security has been set up around the portal, metal walls several feet out with a few windows (so the military could make sure those traveling between the locations were not threats) blocked easy access to the rest of the Plaza. Those people who didn't have what was considered a good reason to visit the Palace were allowed to visit the city located outside the Caldera, while actual guests of the Royal family were escorted to pre-prepared rooms or small villas on the palace grounds.

Things would likely change in the future, but for the first couple weeks following the opening of the portal, if you came through the portal, you probably had a better reason for being there than 'it seemed like fun'.

Unless your name was Kiyi or Wan or Toph or Aang or- You know what? 'it seemed like fun' was probably a perfectly fine reason.

ooc: This is a catch all for anyone who wants to do general threads in the Fire Nation. Tag in, tag around, have fun.

[001] Monthly Catch All

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!

002 - The Catch-up Post [open]

[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 around ~~and 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!]

Story one: Fresh Air (Open)

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.]

Open to all! Dated before the barrier goes funny.

The girl making her way through the city probably wasn't anyone's image of Toph Bei Fong, and certainly not the image of the statue standing near the police station. She was small, verging on scrawny (an effect compounded by oversized clothing), face marked with at least a couple of layers of dirt. In that clothing, her features obscured, she might even have been taken for a boy -- were it not for the heavy braid trailing down her back.

Frankly, Toph didn't mind the whole arrangement. The makeshift disguise let her explore the city pretty much as she pleased -- or at least the parts she was currently interested in seeing. No one paid much attention to a street urchin, and there were some benefits to being blind; it tended to make others look away, and by the time they thought something of a blind girl wandering around the city by herself, Toph was gone.

So far, she had a good thing going, except for the lack of idol worship.
