[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.]

004 - Bolin does all the things
[Bolin's life has been improving after all the terrible circumstances that happened with Opal last month.  He looks more positive, and things seem to finally be clicking into gear.  And it's important too since this month is a much bigger month for a variety of reasons.]

A. [Open - Pro-bending Arena]

[Finally!  It's the event everyone's been waiting for: the Pro-bending Tournament!  The teams have finally been chosen and entered into the huge contest to see who's going to take it all.  And of course the Fire Ferrets have been entered.  They're not the favourites this year, naturally.  After all, Bolin's team had a rather embarrassing loss last year in the first round.  But Yang is a much better firebender than whatever floozy he recruited for the team last year, and so they've got a decent shot.

[Want to give Bo a pep talk before the discs and the elements start flying?  Want to watch the match from the crowd?  Want to greet Bolin after the game?  Spoilers:  The Fire Ferrets will win their first match, so feel free to congratulate him on a job... better done.  The Fire Ferrets are going to be a little rusty because it's their first game as a team, but it just so happened that the other team was even more rusty than they were thankfully.]

B. [Open - Police Station]

[Bolin is checking in at the police station, checking to see if any word has been heard about his brother and Korra.  He's worried sick about them, and the odds are looking pretty bad by this point.  However, like a loyal puppy that's lost his master, he still makes a weekly visit to the station to see if anything's been heard.]

C. [Open - Air Temple Island]

[Though he's been living with Asami Sato in her mansion ever since slightly before the disappearance of Mako and Korra, and he's been spending a fair bit of time there, Air Temple Island is like a second home to him.  There's just something about being in a place with so many memories that stirs him.  Plus, Opal is there pretty frequently, and he's actually gotten a chance to see her every now and again, and that's one of the things that's keeping him buoyed up above all the rest of the drama in his life.]

D. [Closed to Dove - Varrick's Yacht]

[Varrick disappeared a month ago, and with that meant that the mover that they were working on had gotten canned.  There goes Bolin's source of income.  And honestly, without the head man in charge, that pretty much meant that the entire studio was pretty much idle.  Without Varrick, there wasn't much to do.  However, Bolin didn't see that as a reason to just give up making movers.  In fact, he saw it as a possible opportunity.

[So with the help of a rather trusted assistant, he sent Dove a message to meet him on the yacht.  After all, Varrick wouldn't be using it, so why not have a business meeting there?  Like old times.]

I've got a great idea!

[Scarier words by Bolin have never before been said.]

E. [Choose Your Own]

[Have an idea that you want to thread out?  I'm all ears!]

(Open) Introduction
[It didn't make any sense, it was almost like she'd tripped and the company she'd had was suddenly gone, leaving her standing amidst the spirit wilds.

She was almost sure she was in the same place, but everything was wrong. There was a distinct absence of what should have been there, and a distinct presence of what shouldn't. After a few seconds of initial confusion she made the choice to retrace her steps to head back into the city -- not without taking another several minutes to remove her handcuffs of course -- to try and figure out what was going on.

Kuvira took her time getting back, careful to watch her step and not exacerbate her side anymore than she already had. She didn't know how long she walked until she finally emerged from the wilds and stepped out into the busy streets. Well it hadn't been this busy the last time she came through here either.]

This...isn't...

[Picking a direction she started to walk again, steadily attempting to collect herself more as she went, listening to the conversations of the passerby's.]

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?

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!]

Aang
savedtheworld
26 October 2014 @ 03:50 pm
[Open]
Air Temple Island:

A. Aang starts off his morning with airbending training. Some meditation, some rounds through the air gates, some general practice of forms and some balancing upon pillars. He'll be glad to tutor anyone else in need of instruction. He is a master, after all, even if he's claiming not to be Avatar Aang. Just a random prodigy airbender who happens to be named Aang! At least, that's the cover story he's trying this week.

B. This young monk has commandeered the kitchen! His goal? To make some fruit pies! Feel free to stumble across him while he's in the act of baking them, while some doting air acolytes try to help out.

Republic City/Spirit Worlds

C. And so Aang makes his way through the city atop his sky bison, Appa, who has a large batch of the fruit pies kept on his back. Aang may stop to check in on any number of his friends if they're around, with personalized fruit pies for new friends and old.

D. Aang will also spend time down exploring the Spirit Wilds. He'll use the rest of his batch of fruit pies here, distributing them to those who need it. He'll also try to investigate the spirit vines and wandering spirits some more, puzzled about all of the odd things he's heard about so far.

E. Finally, he can be found near the barrier, meditating in an attempt to commune with the spirits. He better be careful with all those stray spirits wandering about...

Toph Bei Fong

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.

[Open: Yangchen Festival]
[Today's the day of the Yangchen Festival! It's an airbender ceremony held on Air Temple Island, but the people of Republic City are likely to know of it and are welcome to join in as well. Aang is eager to invite any of his friends he's seen around as well- it's a ceremony he's missed dearly, even if he doesn't know the full story behind it. At the same time, Aang is trying to keep his true identity on the down-low.

The ceremony itself can be described on these pages. Essentially it involves everyone getting together as one group, bowing together to a large statue and then taking a walk while playing a number of musical instruments used by the air nomads. (There may or may not be a matching statue on Air Temple Island how about playing that part vague)

Finally, there's the more festival-y part. They settle in an open area of Air Temple Island. There, everyone gets to eat traditional air nomad meals (read: vegetarian food), and there's kites to fly! There's stringless kites for the airbenders, but the air acolytes have ensured that there's enough stringed kites for everyone. They'll be celebrating there all through the afternoon. So come on over and enjoy!]

Welcome to Republic City!
It was a bright and sunny normal day in Republic City. Children were playing, spirits were chirping about, and everything was going along like normal. Well at least that's what everyone seemed to think. That is until so many people seemed to be appearing out of nowhere. For some reason Republic City seemed to be more lively and the crowds bigger.

The spirits have grown restless as if something important was about to change, and to try to fix that change, the spirits with their big long tree like limbs dragged people into the world left and right. Even the vines covering Republic City seemed to help. Although the spirits had the best intentions in mind, some people were more affected by the grab than others. There's talk that people in this city don't even know what this place is. People who have never heard of the words "bender" or "non-bender."

Welcome to Republic City! And to those who already live here: Happy Saturday. Please make yourselves at home and don't mind a little spirit gunk. It's mostly harmless. Go enjoy yourself a classic mover. Maybe you're the athletic type. If that's the case, come watch a few Pro-bending matches or form your own team. Just watch out for any Satomobiles. They can be deadly no matter how pretty the driver is.

Please remember to enjoy your stay and don't cause too much trouble. The Republic City Police don't need more riffraff to take care of. And don't stray too far. To make the the peace is kept, there's a huge spirit barrier around the perimeter of the city. It seems pretty strong, but it won't be able to last forever. Still, it's worrying. Radio signals and telegraphs don't seem to be getting past it.

[ OOC: The game is officially open! From this point on, feel free to make any posts you want or tag into this. Please remember to tag your posts with Canon: Character. Finally, although the game has no real network, you're free to respond with prose or brackets, whatever you're comfortable with. With that said, have fun! ]
