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.]

Why?

[markofthewise]

Because it's Jack, Aang! Who knows what terrible thing he has planned! Maybe he plans to use you for free Appa rides if the teleporter ever breaks!

[savedtheworld]

Hey, that sounds like fun!

[markofthewise]

What? No! That wouldn't be fun! It would be him taking advantage of your boyish naivety and optimism!

[savedtheworld]

Unless he's gonna hurt Appa, I don't see the problem. Me and Appa both love to explore this place.

[markofthewise]

No wonder Jack likes you.

[savedtheworld]

Yeah, you just said because I'm optimistic! That's how you get lots of friends, Sokka.

[As he says this, he waterbends at Appa again to wash some more fur into the river.]

[markofthewise]

Or collect moochers. You can never have too many of those, right?

[Since Appa is near the river, Sokka will oblige the bison by scrubbing his side with the brush.]

[savedtheworld]

[He shrugs.]

Friends just need things every now and then.

[The puppy is now going to lick at Sokka's ankles.]

[markofthewise]

And moochers need things all the time!

[Sokka is just going to. Glare at the puppy. Stupid dog! You're not cute!]

[savedtheworld]

Everyone needs things all the time, like air and food.

[markofthewise]

Alright, alright. Be friends with Jack. Just don't be surprised when he has you in a pirate costume patrolling the bridge.

[savedtheworld]

You think he'd really let me do that? I can't await! "Yarr, that'll be two copper pieces!"

[markofthewise]

... just wash the bison, Aang.

[savedtheworld]

[A mock salute.]

Aye aye, Cap'n!

[And the monk goes back to scrubbing Appa while the puppy continues to bark.]
