Day 309 [Open]

[dontyoujustwish]

Who: Anya, Ibuki, Patchouli, and anyone else!
Open: Open! Mostly.
When: Day 309
Where: All over the Bastion
What: SNOW!
Format: I'll match
Warnings: It's Anya.

[For Ibuki and Patchouli]
[Sometime after lunch, Anya takes off to look for two of her best lady friends with a spellbook under her arm and some key ingredients in her pockets.

She's quite cheerful about it, a little oblivious to whatever else might have been going on lately. Cheerful, and insistent. She will track you down.]


[Open to All]
[Later in the day, Bastionites may be surprised to look up and notice that... it's snowing. Not only that, but the temperature has dropped.

At least in the more southerly parts of the Bastion. The farmlands might get a few sporadic flurries, but it isn't cold enough there to stick.

So if you've been missing snowmen or snowball fights or any of those activities that require winter to happen, now's your chance. It's probably not going to last very long.]

((OOC: And feel free to just use this post for mingling!]

Water... what now? Is that, like... a sculptor or something...

[ Forgive Naegi, he knows not a thing about this bender business... ]

[daughterofursa]

A waterbender.

You know, like we're firebenders... [She means herself and Kizuna. Doesn't everyone know about her and fire by this point?]

[bulletofhope]

. . . firebenders...

You mean like those people that can control fire, right? Or... something... I think...

[ Forgive Naegi again, he hasn't gotten all the details of firebending... ]

[daughterofursa]

Right.

Its opposite is waterbending. The Northern Water Tribe built a fortress out of the ice and snow.

[Needless to say it was a lot more impressive than your snowmen.

But rather less recreational.]

[bulletofhope]

. . . wow. Like... an actual fortress, and not a snow fort or anything?

[ That's seriously really cool. ]

I wish I could've seen it...

[daughterofursa]

Yeah. It was the one stronghold that never fell to the Fire Nation.

It was impressive.

[bulletofhope]

Yeah...

They must've been really strong people, from the sound of things...

[ To say the least.. ]

[daughterofursa]

They were. Both of the Water Tribes were.

[bulletofhope]

Both of them...? How many tribes were there?

[daughterofursa]

Just the two, in the North and South Poles.

[bulletofhope]

. . . oh.

I really should've expected that, to be honest...

[ #genius ]

[daughterofursa]

Well, things are probably a lot different in other worlds.

[Your countries don't correspond to elements, for one thing.]

[bulletofhope]

True! What else do you have in your world? I'm kinda curious how different they are now...

[daughterofursa]

I'm from the Fire Nation, and then there's the Earth Kingdom.

[And that is all the nations they have the end.]

You and Aoi are from Japan, right?

[bulletofhope]

Yeah. I think there's quite a few of us who are from Japan, now that I think of it...

[ Like Haruka, Ibuki, and Togami... ]

[daughterofursa]

[And Rin and Ryuuji and Takane...]

There are, aren't there? Is it a large nation?

[bulletofhope]

I'm not sure about us being a large nation, per se, but we're pretty decently sized?

[ At least, compared to everyone else in the world, he thinks... ]

[daughterofursa]

Then you must be pretty resiliant, for so many of you to make it here.

[bulletofhope]

. . . you think so? I... actually never really thought of it that way; I felt like I was more lucky to survive, if anything.

But... I think I like that thought better, honestly.

[daughterofursa]

Well, I've never had luck on my side. That'd be a first for it to bring me here.

[bulletofhope]

Ah...

I was known back home for good luck... I don't know if it really counts as such, though, seeing as how it's more bad luck, if anything...

[daughterofursa]

I'm not about to call surviving bad luck either.

[Especially not considering recent events.]

[bulletofhope]

. . . point. I think for me, my luck depends on what happened at the time... whether it's good or bad, really.

[ His life summed up in a sentence. ]

[daughterofursa]

You make it sound like everything just happens to you.

[bulletofhope]

Well, back home that's actually more or less what happened, if I may be honest...

[ Naegi's luck at work, Zuko. ]
