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.

[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.]

[With school back in session, Raine's hours at the flower shop are a little less than usual, but it doesn't stop her from peeking her head inside the bakery after heading over, given it's right next door. Without Rapunzel around, it really is a lot of work for just Aang. She knows that particular feeling quite well.

It's also vaguely nostalgic, since her brother and Regal once worked the usual bakery hours. It had taken her a while to warm up to it again after that.]

Are you all right there, Aang? I hope you'll have time for your homework.

[Hey Aang, guess who it is? Yyyup. Varrick is wearing what appears to be a neatly-folded, checkered red bandana around his forehead, unceremoniously flattening locks of his hair against the sides of his head. It clashes something awful with his Water Tribe attire, but he doesn't seem to notice or care one bit.]

Avatar Yangchen had a festival? You sure about that? [He knows the dates of most festivals by heart, because there's always a good target audience for his assorted merchandise to be found at festivals.]

I don't remember when it's s'posed to be 'cause usually we have a calendar for that, but we probably missed it once already, right? We should have it in the summer! Or the fall! Sometime when it's warm and sunny and the breezes are all super, super nice and happy and fun!

[ As she talks, Ikki's words run together more and more, as she gets faster and faster. ]

There aren't the places we'd go here, but we can have kites and maybe we can collect the instruments or maybe make them and we could teach people to play - except not the ones they can't play I guess 'cause of bending - and have a picnic and everything!

[ ...Well, someone's excited. ]

[He pops up, looking over some muffins he made. That's certainly one reason to look for more help - so he doesn't have to keep the bakery closed while he's at school He looks just vaguely nervous.]

Homework! Right. I'm saving that for when I'm on Appa later! Sometimes... being up high in the sky helps you feel all thinky, you know?

[He's going to squint at the get-up for a moment. Because what is that even. But he still replies cheerily enough.]

Super sure! I celebrated a lot when I was young. I'd ask Yangchen myself for details, but she's out of my range here!

[Yep, Ikki sure is talking faster and faster. That's Ikki alright. While Aang's speeding up his listening to match. And feeling a bit heartwarmed. Of course he should have guessed it, but knowing that the festival will be remembered into Ikki's time just feels right.]

The summer and the fall both sound like great ideas! Spring might be great, too... Very spring-y!

I like all the ideas you have Ikki! They're very great. We can definitely have the kites. Maybe that can be an art club project sometime! I have been getting instruments that look air nomad whenever we find them, so let's see how much more turn up! Also, I love picnics! This is gonna be sooo fun, Ikki!

Sure!! We need a project for...um, let's see, I think I'm gonna ask around about people who know how to make chocolates for next month, so either we can do that in March or we can do an emergency meeting if we have to! We can make some without strings for us and anyone who can talk to Kipinn and with them for everyone else!

[ Since you have to be mindful of all the non-benders. The air acolytes, too. ]

I think the festival is JUST as good as all the Malnosso holidays! This is going to be so so so so much fun!

Chocolates, huh? Plus Raine wants that special sign! I'm sure we'll work it out. The festival might not have to be that soon. But a mix of ones with and without strings sounds great!

It is going to be super duper fun! It seems like just the right holiday to share with the people here.

As long as your papers don't blow away. But yes, I understand that. The rheiards were easy to get lost in thought on - though of course we had to focus on where we were heading.

I'll leave all the spirit stuff to you. I'm pretty sure I don't need it to go with the skills I already have. [ He's waving his hand like it's a super fly mature decision, but mostly, the problem is that they are spirits, and that's way too creepy for his blood. That one pink-haired ghost girl flying around is hard enough to deal with, wow. ] But whenever you decide to celebrate your holiday, you should let me know! I'll help you get stuff together for it if I can.

I'd offer to help out, but I...already have myself booked, really.

[ You know, with Seventh Heaven and learning to doctor and school. ]

I wouldn't mind helping with the filial spirits, though. Or hearing more about the festival. What's it in celebration of?

You're right, Prim. You are doing a lot of things. I'm surprised you aren't all thinged out by now!

I'd be glad for either. Have you met any of the spirits yet? And the festival... It celebrates Avatar Yangchen, for some time that she defeated a dark spirit!

[Whoa, an official declaration of the Usopp Pirates captain! Aang listens carefully.]

I guess you're right. I'll take care of the spirits for you Usopp. Maybe it'll be helpful for our pirates! And you'd really help me put things together for the festival? Thanks, Captain Usopp, that's really nice of you!

Good point - maybe I should take some paperweights just to make sure! Did you ride around on the rheiards a lot? They've seemed like lots of fun! [Aang anything that moves fast and can be ridden is fun to you.]

Well, it's not so bad if you schedule them. I like to keep busy, really.

[ Idle time wasn't a Thing back home, and she gets uncomfortable if she has too much of it. ]

I've met Nala. After being possessed by her spirit it...seemed easy. I haven't tried speaking to any of the others, though. I think I'd like to try.

[ Avatar Yangchen...so another person who could bend all four of Aang's elements, like he could. ]

How did she defeat the dark spirit?

They took some getting used to, but they were useful when we needed to get somewhere in a hurry..

Yep, Sifu Raine's sign is on our list!! I would've put it on this month's meeting, but we didn't know about it 'till after, so I figured we could do that at February's, too.

[ It's always nice to have options for what to do, right? ]

I wonder if everyone else has holidays that don't get celebrated here...? There might be lots of festivals we could learn about. I'll ask next time we have world-sharing, I think.

Keeping busy can be good... as long as you remember to have fun, too!

Nala, huh? I know Nala, too! She's pretty nice, isn't she? And yeah, it should be fun to try talking to the others.

How did she beat the dark spirit? Um... [He frowns.] Well, I never really heard the full story.

I have fun doing the things I do...and, well. That's what breaks are for, I think.

[ Spending time with her family is what she considers fun, really. Or reaing. ]

Oh, really? Well...I don't mind if you want to make something up.

That's great! You're sure getting a lot of projects, granddaughter of mine. Uou sure you can handle it all?

That's a good idea, too! Maybe most people are shy about their holidays because they don't want the Malnossos to know and make weird shifts about them. But I'm sure they won't bother Avatar Yangchen's festival!

Useful, yeah. It's definitely useful to be able to fly to places. But it's also really good for it to be fun, too!

Yep!! After all, I have the entire art club to help out! It's not just me, it's all of us! It's been a while since anyone asked us for a special project...I think the last one was months ago.

[ There were the decorations for a party some time back, and the Buffy asked for pool balls even further back... ][ Also she turned Lee lose on people, surely that will pay off. Or cause Luceti to burn down. It's up in the air. ]

D'you think that the Malnosso didn't know about Valentines and Christmas way back when then???

That's good, then! Congratulations, Prim. You passed the fun test! [He says with a bright smile.]

Make it up? ...Sure, I can do that! [It can make a good bedtime story for Ikki later, too.] Just give me a second to think.

That was a test? You didn't tell me I was being quizzed.

[ That's a teasing voice, though, as she lapses into silence to allow him his time to think up a story. ]

Well, we were busy, so that aspect wasn't exactly the priority at the time. Lloyd enjoyed it, at least when it was still a novelty. [Even during their crash landing...]
