Book 17: Eroded [Video/Action]

[Video]

[Aang appears on the video feed partway through his day, looking a little chipper while sitting at the bakery.]

Hey everyone! It's me, Aang. I just thought I'd talk about a few things. If anyone is looking for a way to spend their time here in Luceti, there's some job openings that could be for you! I'm here at the bakery right now, and there aren't many people here who help out. So if you want to try out, you're welcome to! Speaking of that word, the Welcome Center could also use more people to help manage it. [And maybe someone to actually run it.]

Just let me know if you're interested! In the meantime, I'm trying to make bonds with more of the filial spirits. [He already has Kipinn, who came naturally to him. And Nala, he sought after his second draft, so that he wouldn't be completely powerless when it comes to healing. Even if most of the other spirits overlap with his bending abilities, he still thinks that as the Avatar he should be trying to make pacts with them.] I think next, I'm gonna go for Sona. Anyone wanna come lend a hand?

I think that's it- oh! One other thing. Does anyone remember when Avatar Yangchen's festival is supposed to be? I can't believe I forgot about it for so long! It's the best air nomad holiday, and I only remembered it after I had a dream about it the other day! I should figure out when to celebrate it. The Malnosso don't seem to know about it, so it should be fun! Then people can get to see what one of our holidays are like.

[Action]

[And so, Aang buzzes between locations like a busy scorpion bee. Either working at the bakery - where he plays some of Rapunzel's old big band records, with a swing in his step. He also make stops at the Welcome Center and the library, sometimes accompanied by Momo.

Later in the day, he sets off on Appa's back, checking around the two lakes to try out connecting with Sona.]

[mischiefbreeder]

I was done with school at age ten.

[Because that's just how the Pokémon world works.]

[voice]

[savedtheworld]

[While Aang was raised in a monastery, so school always looked like one of those tantalizing parts of the childhoods of the kids from other nations. And he figures if it's about getting knowledge, that's something that can be done at any age.]

But you still have a lot to learn! They do teach a lot about spirits at school. I'd be glad to tell you what I do know.

[voice]

[mischiefbreeder]

I'll pass on the school. [He hated it enough the time he spent there. He doesn't want more of that crap.]

Buuuuut, if you're offerin'...

[voice]

[savedtheworld]

That's okay. I'll definitely offer, and I'll do my best to be as good as a school.

[He knows he's going to have to be a teacher someday, to Tenzin. While he has already been giving lessons to Ikki in this world - and Korra during both of his stays - teaching Gold about spirituality could prove to be very helpful.]

[voice]

[mischiefbreeder]

Well, then I'll take you up on that offer!

[voice]

[savedtheworld]

Okay!

So... When would you like your first lesson?

[voice]

[mischiefbreeder]

A.S.A.P.

[voice]

[savedtheworld]

Um... What day is that?

[voice]

[mischiefbreeder]

...That means "As Soon As Possible", dude.

[voice]

[savedtheworld]

Oh! That makes a lot more sense than a day about sap. So... I can even start today!

[voice]

[mischiefbreeder]

I guess I've gotta teach you about slang in return.

[voice]

[savedtheworld]

I would appreciate that! I only know lots of neat slang from my own world. So I'm sure this will be helpful! [Especially in deciphering Masaomi's words.]

[voice]

[mischiefbreeder]

Great, then the deal is sealed!

[voice]

[savedtheworld]

Great! I can come see you soon if you want.

[voice]

[mischiefbreeder]

I'll be around.

[voice]

[savedtheworld]

Around... anywhere specific?

[voice]

[mischiefbreeder]

[Don't mind that sound, it's just Gold audibly facepalming.]

I've got my work cut out for me, I guess.

[voice]

[savedtheworld]

I just wanna know where to meet you!

[voice]

[mischiefbreeder]

[Grooooaaaan.]

Just... meet me at the fountain. How about that?

[voice -> action]

[savedtheworld]

That sounds great! I'll see you there.

[And so, the air teen will be zipping on over to the fountain later atop an air scooter.]

[voice -> action]

[mischiefbreeder]

[Gold shows up fashionably late, of course, riding on top of his deathbirdjet.]

Yo.

[action]

[savedtheworld]

[Wow the lateness is forgotten once Aang beholds said bird, his own air scooter long having been dissipated.]

Whoa! Hey Gold! Who's that Pokemon? [He's never seen this one before.]

[action]

[mischiefbreeder]

Eh? [He hops of Togetaro, placing his hand on top of the bird.]

Y'mean I never showed you Togetaro before?

[action]

[savedtheworld]

I don't think we've been introduced...

[action]

[mischiefbreeder]

...Huh. Well, this is Togetaro, my partner! [He pats the deathbirdjet on the back.]
