savedtheworld | 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.]

Yeah, I guess it's kinda like magic, but it's real spirit-y.

Heh... [Language.] Well I think appearing here has helped him to get used to weird things. He's been around a few months now.

So more like you. [At least, from what he's heard]

[And oh Aang, you will be hearing that word frequently.] Has he really? [Sanji sounds somewhat surprised] Maaah, and I've never seen him before now...

I would've helped fed him if I'd known.

Yeah, they are kinda similar to the air nomads and a little like the Avatar in their duties!

Guess you must have missed him! But it's okay, I'm sure you'll spot him soon enough.

Heh, interesting. I guess there's something like that in a lot of worlds.

And I'll look forward to it! Maybe he can meet Biri, too.

Yeah, there's plenty of weird things different worlds got in common. I even met a guy who was frozen in ice just like me!

Great. He actually will meet Biri pretty soon! I just arranged to meet Vivi and Biri later today for some flying.

... Tell me he wasn't frozen for a hundred shitty years, too. [Because that's just a really sad experience to be sharing with someone.]

Aaaah, so you're going to meet Vivi-chan~! [Aang is still pretty young (at least in Sanji's eyes) so he greets the statement with excitement rather than flames of fury] Maybe I should join you two-- er, four.

He didn't say. But it was long enough that he was living in his own future.

Yeah, I guess this is our first official meeting! When she was a kid, she already made good friends with my granddaughter. And you'd be welcome to join, too!

-- Your what?

My granddaughter Ikki. You met her right?

Yeah, when Vivi-chan brought her over for cake!

[Pointing at the screen incredulously] You're her grandfather?

I thought she mentioned it was you who treated them! [He likes to keep up to date on her wellbeing - although at this point in time Tenzin has primarily taken over that spot.]

And... yeah, I am. Well, I will be. In the future, back home. She's an airbender like me, and her older sister Jinora's here too. I figured everyone in Luceti knew by now, she posted drawings of her family and everything the day after she got here.

Must've slipped past me. [And Sanji somehow doubts the drawing would be accurate, even if Ikki is as cute as a button]

But that's gotta be plenty weird for you.

I get that a lot. It is pretty weird to suddenly have family like this, and she's not that much younger than me. But I don't really think about weirdness much, because she's really fun to be around, and I'm glad I get to meet her here.

Heeeh, I guess so. And especially in a place like this, you learn to stop being surprised.

[A sudden grin] You got any other cute little granddaughters I should be treating to cake?

Yeah! Her older sister Jinora's here, too. She's pretty mature and likes to read books.
