Book 1: Fresh Water [Video]

[savedtheworld]

[Aang is peering into the journal so his face takes up almost the entire screen. He begins shouting into the book as abruptly as his image appears]

Hey! What am I doing here? I'm Aang! I'm an Airbender. Does anyone know what's going on here? I can't find my friends, my clothes or any of my stuff! I thought I was on my sky bison with everyone else going to see the Earth King. Now I'm here. Have anyone of you book people seen anyone I know?

[Aang has pulled away from the journal but continues talking as he sits in a patch of grass.]

This is a really weird place. But kinda peaceful. Definitely not weird enough to be the Spirit World. What is going on here?? And... have I always had these wings?

[Aang lifts up the book with one hand, squinting and examining it like some foreign object. This results in the picture showing his quizzical face from a skewed angle.]

Comments

[endgames]

Just met you. [He thinks he actually knows who this is, though.] Shouldn't be too much of a stretch, though. Aang as in Avatar Aang, right?

[savedtheworld]

Yeah, how do you know that? [It's not something he likes to advertise. Even though he ultimately winds up doing so... very often.]

[endgames]

Heh. [He's so glad he doesn't have to put up with Masaomi right now.] A mutual friend's mentioned you once or twice. Katara.

[savedtheworld]

That makes sense. She sure has made a lot of friends here. What do you do for fun, Shikamaru?

[endgames]

[You ain't kidding.]

Watch clouds.

[savedtheworld]

Yes, cloud watching is really fun! I love all of the different shapes. Once we even met a fortune teller who used cloud shapes to tell the future! Can you believe that a fluffy bunny meant great destruction? Aunt Wu's fortune telling was really amazing even if it was kinda fake. Plus, I can bend the water in clouds to make them any shape!

[endgames]

[...pfft. He chuckles once, then holds up one hand to the journal window.]

Slooow down, buddy, you're runnin' a mile a minute.

[savedtheworld]

Sorry, I get excited a lot. But I can be calm too! Yup, that's me, Mr. Calm Air Nomad Guy with an Arrow on My Head. I bet you're calm all the time, you don't talk that much.

[endgames]

It's troublesome. If I talked so much, I'd be out of breath.

Regardless, you're taking this situation pretty well.

[savedtheworld]

[He chuckles.] I guess running out of breath isn't really a problem for an Airbender!

I am? I kinda like having a new world to explore... and most of my friends are already here and safe. So things seem fine!

[endgames]

...eh. The place has it's ups and downs. I'll leave the major explanations to your friends. [They'll have a better handle on it.]

It's not a good idea to take the situation lightly, but your way of looking at it isn't bad either.

[savedtheworld]

You're right, I should ask them more about this place. I don't want to annoy you with too many questions.

I don't have a problem with taking things easy. It helped me get as far as I have - in my world! Too much serious can just make things too tough.

[endgames]

[He can agree with that, somewhat.] Nothing good comes out of life from hurrying.
