Book 5: Spirits of Adventure [Video/Action]
[Video]
[The 14-year old monk looks into the video feed with a friendly smile during a break in the rainfall. He's standing on the lawn of House 57, and Appa is chewing down on some hay in the background.]
Hey, everyone! It's me, Aang. It's been a while since I really tried talking to everyone through the book, so I thought I'd give it another try. After all, I really like to make more friends, and it seems like something I should do more anyway now that I work at the Welcome Center! And... in case you only know me from during shifts or something, you should know that I'm not a crimefighter, a little kid or an old man, and right now I'm kinda sick of tea. I'm something that's called an Airbender and the Avatar.
I also want to introduce you to this guy, Appa. He's my sky bison. Say hello, Appa! [Aang moves to the side briefly while Appa gives a lazy bellow.] Isn't he great? So... this is what I have in mind. I wanna take Appa out more and do what I can to explore this place when I have time. And if any of you want, whether I already know you or not, you're free to join me and help me find places to explore. I think I'll do these kinds of adventures throughout the whole week, especially if the weather clears up, so if you wanna come, let me know when!
[There's some chittering noises as a lemur pops out of Aang's sleeve.] You can come too, Momo!
[Action]
[So throughout the week, Aang rides Appa around the enclosure in search of secrets, adventures and such. Before he sets off, Aang stops by the fountain in the plaza with Appa to wait for any traveling companion. He also could be found running random errands at the Welcome Center.
Also, Appa may be familiar to some because of his fur. Appa arrived back in May, and especially in the time following that, he would have been shedding some fur with the coming of summer. So characters are free to have recognize that fur having been dropped throughout Luceti during his flights.]
[ooc: Also, here's a link to his tree rumors if anyone wants their characters to have heard them.]

[It's during one of these stops at the fountain that Aang might notice a little kid staring wide-eyed and open-mouthed at the sky bison. Ginji's never seen a monster (it's a monster, right?) or any other animal this big before. And how in Auldrant did it just do that?! He'll crane his neck forward, clearly interested in getting a closer look at this thing.]
Whoa...
[Action]
You like Appa?
[Action]
[There's a pause while Ginji tilts his head at the large animal. As if by doing this he can figure out how it works.] But what is he 'zactly?
[Action]
He's... a sky bison!
[Action]
A sky bison? So then-- so dozzat mean he really can--?! [Ginji mimes flying with his hands. Why else would you call it a sky bison?]
[Action]
Yeah! He can fly alright!
[Action]
And he's real big too! How's he stay up in the sky without falling down?
[Action]
[Appa will step forward to greet the boy with a lick of his tongue.]
[Action]
[At the offer, Ginji jumps up.] Really?! Would you? That'd be so awesome! W-wua---!! [Oh sweet Yulia. There's a big sky bison and it's licking him and the motion practically lifts the kid right off his feet.]
W-wow... gee! Um, hey Appa. It's real nice to meet you too! [Ginji will reach out a hand to give him a pat. Fortunately saliva doesn't bug him too much. He's used to getting dirty. Even if it feels kinda weird.]
[Action]
Airbending's an ability to control air. I can do it it, but only Appa can fly with it. I'd be glad to give you a ride around.
[Action]
Mmn! And I'd be real glad t' go! I'm not 'fraid of heights or nothing.
