[IC] The City of New Ba Sing Se

[Kronshi]

"How about tomorrow at my shop, I'll be there all day so stop by anytime you want," He then uses his earth-bending to launch the dagger towards him and he catches it in his hand and returns it to the officer, "Here you are sir."

[Falconi]

"Thank you," Kat said as he took his knife and put it away. "Followed you? Keep dreaming sweetheart. I responded to the disturbance from the station and I was on my way back to the station when you started talking to me." He checked his sword and found it to still be sharp. "Now if you will excuse me, I need to get to the station and file my report."

[Saarebas]

"Oh yeah Nana Sue this is a emergency. Rikka here hasn't had any real food since she left the tribe, she has been having to make do by eating the Earth Kingdom's dirt food." Ton said with a crinkle in his nose. "Oh no no no that just won't do!" Nana Sue said while putting her hands on her hips. "You listen here dearie, you take anything that can fill up that belly of yours on the house. I can't have a water tribe member going hungry, or worse yet eating Earth kingdom slop. Nana Sue said with a smile. Ton grinned as he reached for a Arctic Hen cabob only for his hand to be slapped away by Nana Sue. "You still have to pay Ton Ton." Ton smirked and rolled his eyes before taking out three silver pieces and handed it to Nana Sue who in turn gave him the cabob.

Rikka's face lit up with joy at the Aunt's offer "Oh wow! Thanks so much." The girl said as she gave a salute in excitement and grabbed some Kabobs and fried squid along with some sea prunes and dug in. Even though she had the appetite of ten men who had been starved for a week, she decided she wouldn't take advantage of the woman's hospitality. She grabbed enough to stay full for the rest of the night making sure she still had food to sell to everyone else, although she was sure everyone from Ba Sing Se would be eating what the lady called earth kingdom slop. "While I agree the food will never live up to the delicacies of our food, I've never been picky about eating" she said after swallowing a mouthful.

[Saarebas]

"Good to see you can still eat like a polar bear dog." Ton said with a chuckle only to be hit in the back of his head with a wooden spoon and get a stern look from Nana Sue. "Ow!...er... I mean sorry." He said rubbing the back of his head. "Any who sorry Nana Sue but I promised Rikka here that I would show her around the city." Nana Sue smiled and pinched Ton's cheek. "Okay Ton Ton." She said before looking at Rikka. "You make sure my Ton Ton here stays out of trouble alright dearie." She said with a laugh. "She will Nana, see you back at home." He said before looking to Rikka. "Where to next?"

[Leda]

"Hey you're showing ME around remember?" The girl said after swallowing the last of the food she had. As the day passed, the festival started to pick up and more stalls began opening. "Oh hey I know, let's go check the weapon stalls." She wasn't very fond of using weapons because of her water bending, but she still liked to look at them, not to mention she really liked the designs of the older weapons the fire nation used even if most of them were for decoration purposes only. Who knew maybe she could find something she didn't need much skill to use there. "I wonder if I can find something I can use to punch someone in the face with" the girl said as she hit her hand with her fist and put on a big smile.

[WizardGirl]

"Okay, bye then Officer…" I turn towards the earth bender "That sounds great. But I need to get a room in the inn, I came in on a boat today…" As I walk away, I see the water tribe girl and boy from earlier. I run over to them "So not only did a cop follow me, but you two followed me?" I ask, joking around.

[Leda]

"Hm?" The girl turned around to find the fire nation girl who got involved in the commotion that happened at the tavern, although the name of the girl escaped her as she was too busy dealing with those thugs to listen to anything else. "Oh hey you're that girl from earlier, the fire bending one right?" The girl said putting on a big grin as she put her hands on her hips "sorry we weren't properly introduced, my name's Rikka and this blockhead is Ton."

[WizardGirl]

I smile at the girl "Yes, I am a fire bender, and my name is Irane. I came in on a ship today." I look at Ton "You are water benders?" I ask, grabbing a handful of fire flakes and begin eating, unfortunately it was the hottest. I quickly blow on them, but my air bending takes over and I blow a bit too hard. Some lands in both Ton and Rikka's clothing. "Whoops…" I mutter and look at the two, hoping they won't say anything.

[Saarebas]

Ton chuckles as he starts wiping off the fire flakes that were spewed on him. "Got quite the set of lungs on you eh?" He says, never have seen air bending in person before. "And for the record the word blockhead isn't the right term for me. Irresistible Water tribe stallion on the other hand is a bit more accurate." Ton said with a laugh and a sly smile. "Fresh off the boat huh? Visiting family or is this business. Either way my dad would kill me if I didn't ask if you had a place to stay. If you don't you should try my parents' place, it's a decent inn and a lot better than most of the places here and I can promise you no one will take your stuff."

[Leda]

"Guess that's one way to put it" The girl said noting at Ton's lung comment as she wiped the fire flakes off of her clothing. "Like the water tribe stallion said we're water benders." she said mocking the boy. "Fresh from the ever growing dull northern water tribe. So what brings a fire bender all the way out here, and how come I didn't get an invitation?" the girl said as she punched Ton in the arm.

((Sorry changed my post a little))

[Falconi]

Kat entered the station and walked to his desk. Other than the skirmish at the tavern, it was a pretty quiet day. He grabbed his report and quickly wrote it out. Kat got up to file it, when he was stopped and asked what happened. "Nothing too much. Just some benders got into it." He sighed. "As long as no one comes in here to file a report, hopefully I can get caught up on some paperwork for other cases."

[WizardGirl]

"I am moving to the city…its gonna take a few days until my house paperwork is processed. I have a room rented at an Inn for the week until the paperwork down. And thanks for the compliment…I think." I walk closer to Rikko "So, you wanna know why today is special? because its Avatar Day! A magical day…when everyone can hope that the Avatar comes back to us. Unless some people are right. That the Avatar was killed in the Avatar state, as a young girl." I grin, having read that theory on the boat.

[Saarebas]

Ton chuckled as he rubbed his arm. "Really? You want to stay with my family after actually knowing them? You sure you didn't take a few too many blows to the head? But if you really want to I'm sure I can find you a room. Oh and by the way... ow." He said with another laugh before looking back to the fire bender. "Mind if I ask which one? I have a interest in my family's compotation. Anywho if you ever need a place to stay my folks' place is called the Sleeping Water Spirit." He said before he listened to the girl's description of Avatar day, he couldn't help but roll his eyes. "Yeah yeah yeah. The Avatar, big whoop. Honestly I don't see the real need of the Avatar anymore." He says crossing his arms

[Leda]

"Ha ha Yeah I noticed, and not to be a moocher I might just have to take you up on that offer" She said looking around at the festivities. "How could you say that Ton, we need the avatar, we'll always have need for one. What if another war were to break out?" The girl said as she folded her arms over her head and turned to the boy. "Bringing peace to the four nations is what the avatar does, like Aang, Korra, and all the other avatars that came before them." The girl said. "Sure they might not always be there when you need them, but you can't expect them to help everyone in need."

[WizardGirl]

"Well, I need to go, maybe I will see you later." I turn around and keep myself from begging for forgiveness or hitting Ton. I walk towards the Inn that I had made arrangements with, and sure enough, its the Sleeping Water Spirit. "Great, might have to see that guy again, a bit too soon." I sign the papers and head up to room 3B "Wow, hope no one finds me. Well I am not gonna do nothing…" I walk over to the bed and lay down "…or I could just sleep, strange name Sleeping Water Spirit."

[Kronshi]

As things calm down and the sun gets lower, I head back to my shop. On my way there I notice a small turtle-duck laying in the street and pick it up, "Well aren't you cute," I say, taking the thing home. (My image of it makes me think of a platypus with a shell) I set my weaponry on the table and head to the back room, I pick up a seemingly normal sword and hit a switch on it's hilt and watch as the hilt extends into a long handle and the blade folds out and in on itself until it becomes an double-sided battle axe. I hold up the weapon in front of the turtle-duck, "It may look impressive, but it's liable to break in the middle of a battle, I'm not sure how much impact it can take or if it will remain sharp after transforming a couple times," I then hit another switch and watch the blade reforms into a great sword and the handle becomes a hilt again, he then takes the hilt and twists it around and puts it in place, "Besides, it changes to slow and is likely to get someone killed while they wait on the new weapon to form."

I then take the baby turtle-duck and put it into a terrarium for it to live in, "Sleep tight little turtle-duck."

[Saarebas]

"Yeah sure we may have needed them back when they were the bridge between the spirit world and our world, but ever since Korra... well just look." Ton said before pointing up to a flock of spirits floating above them. "We don't really need that bridge anymore with the worlds open to one another now. At this point the Avatar is just someone the nations are told they will be punished by if they break the rules. That isn't much of a way to keep balance, more of a way to keep people oppressed. What the nations really need are people in charge that don't either have their heads up their rear ends or want to take over the world, we just need some decent people to step up is all."

[Leda]

"Yeah well when you find one politician that isn't corrupt and actually does something they say they're going to do instead of talking about it let me know. Until then I'll stick with the avatar thank you very much, besides the avatar is way better than a bunch of stuffy old people sitting on the butts and twiddling their thumbs wondering how the world should work. You honestly can't tell me that you expect every avatar to have something to do when they show up like Aang did" She said just after noticing the girl had stormed off. "Hey wai-, nice one ton" the girl said as she let out a big sigh. It was getting late and the festivities had started to die down, and she was starting to get a little tired as she let out a big yawn and stretched as high as she could with her arms high above her head. "Oh well, It's getting late"

[Saarebas]

"And hen you can tell me when the Avatar is more than just a big mallet that says Don't do that let me know." Ton said putting his hands in his pockets. "And by the way I always thought I would be a pretty good chief of the water tribe." He said with a cocky grin. Ton nodded as he started to walk back to the inn. "Yeah my folks would want to know that you will be staying with us anyways."
