Book 9: Refreshed Air [Action/Video]
[Action]
[This morning, Aang did not wake up in his bed. No, he woke up some ways outside of the village, with an old friend. It took soe time for Aang and Suki to come to grips, but eventually the facts became clear. Suki had come back to Luceti without memories. At the same time, Aang had spent an overnight trip home. He lived out several days at home, where he saw the Yu Dao conflict through to its end and founded the air acolytes.
And now he was back. In Luceti. He knew who Ikki was again. One of the first things he did upon realizing what happened was scribbling a journal message for everyone at home - assuring them he was still around. It might be hard to tell he was gone if anyone was awake that early. After all, he didn't have many possessions, and his room was shared with Roku who was keeping a more irregular sleeping schedule during the draft. The only visible evidence would be the absence of the prayer beads which he had given to Ikki.
So Aang spent most of the morning helping Suki to adjust, hoping that her memories of her previous stay would be awakened. He wasn't really so familiar to people returning without memories. But eventually they parted ways so that Suki could be reunited with Sokka. Once he saw that only a night had passed during his absence, he had guessed that he might have been the only one to go home. The others might still be there. The same as he left them. So he headed to House 56 to check in with everyone next and give the physical proof of his presence. He came fully clothed in his air nomad robes, wielding a set of prayer beads that were notably missing a Fire Nation emblem.
Once all the bases are touched, Aang tries to go about his daily schedule as usual, probably being late for school and skipping out on the Welcome Center to instead explore the forest. Now that he remembers, he looks around carefully for any sign of Moro's presence.]

[And this video message is recorded before dinner, when he stops back at the house between forest treks.]
Hey, everyone. It's me, Aang. This place is really weird sometimes. I used to think when people went home, they stayed home, at least for a long time. But sometimes people have been gone for just a few weeks, and me... I was just gone for one night. I doubt anyone noticed, but I'm still sorry if I worried anyone. And my friend Suki came back too. Really unpredictable, right?
Still, some of you might be pleased to know that at home, only a few days passed, but things are really turning out for the better. Things are even more at peace, and I feel more connected with my people than ever. I hope everyone's having a great autumn, while it lasts.

Action
What? He wanted to explore a bit. But that's what happens when your sense of direction sucks. So he ended up having to spend a night in a tree.
It's not until Aang is nearby that Cross has finally woken up a bit.]
Hm?
[Looking down below he see's a bald headed kid, possibly around his age walking around. He wonders what this boy is doing out here and kind of curious as to if he's lost to. So how does he decide to greet the bald kid?
Come hanging upside down from the tree branch he was in front of Aang.]
Hey there, you lost too?
Action
Hello! I'm not lost. I was just looking around.
Re: Action
Oh, you're not? Than could you do me a favour?
Action
Sure thing! What's up?
Re: Action
I'm kind of lost...I've been out here all night.
Action
Re: Action
[The common sense fairy did not bless this child very well.]
Action
Re: Action
[He'll extend a friendly handshake greeting to Aang.]
My name's Cross, what about you?
Action
I'm Aang! Nice to meet you, Cross.
Re: Action
Good to meet you too. So, we're you trying to find something in the forest or do you want just go straight back to the village?
Action
Re: Action
[But he gives Aang a short look.]
Unless it's something you'd rather do alone.

Re: Action

Re: Action
[And he'll follow along, hands behind his head as he looks to the bald kid for guidance.]
So you've been here for awhile, Aang? In Luceti I mean.
Action
Well... kind of. I was here for almost eight months. But then just last night I wound up back home and came back in the morning! It was really weird. But what about you, Cross? Are you new?
Re: Action
[The whole going back home for a night is confusing though.]
You went home for just a day? Well, that's good.
Me? Yup, I got here I think a few days ago. I kind of lost track.
Action
So you're kind of new. It's late, but, uh, welcome to Luceti!
Re: Action
Thanks for the welcome however, it's appreciated.
Action
No problem. I've been working at the Welcome Center so it's kinda my job! How have you been settling in so far, Cross? Aside from... the whole getting lost thing.
Re: Action
[End all be all answer.]
Isn't it more like volunteer work? I heard there's no money here. But, it's been okay. I've met some new people and some of the older residents. Kind of trying to find a place to stay though.
Action
It is volunteer work. And yeah, having no money's good because we can have whatever we want and people can be stopped from being greedy. It's definitely good to meet lots of people. But you're not sure where to stay?
Re: Action
So, people aren't fighting over things here? Just working together and stuff?
[If that's the truth than Cross is probably going to be in his dreamland. Peace and Harmony for all...if that was the case.]
Not really. I heard about community housing? I think I might try and find a room there.

Re: Action
Action
Action; let me know if and when you want their interaction to end.
Action; Sure! I mean I can go on for however long
