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!]

<I dunno. Maybe. If she wants to be.>

[Let's just go with this as far as we can, okay.]

[daughterofursa]

Queen Kizuna...

Or maybe she should be Fire Lord.

[Since she's basically Zuko's daughter? As long as they're playing around.]

[notachickenhawk]

<Yeah. She'll have to learn to control it first, though.>

[daughterofursa]

Control what?

[notachickenhawk]

<Fire. I'm guessing that's part of the whole thing?>

[It's in the name, after all.]

[daughterofursa]

Oh.

The royal family are usually firebenders, but it's not required for being Fire Lord. At least, it shouldn't be.

[notachickenhawk]

<Oh. Okay. I wasn't sure if it was a ceremonial title or a functional one.>

[daughterofursa]

It's the title of the Fire Nation's ruler.

I wouldn't have cared if my children weren't benders.

[notachickenhawk]

<What is bending, exactly? Is it that thing you do with fire?>

[daughterofursa]

Yeah. We bend the elements.

There are four where I come from: fire, water, earth, air.

[notachickenhawk]

<Can most people only do one?>

[daughterofursa]

Everyone except the Avatar.

[notachickenhawk]

<The who what now?>

[daughterofursa]

The Avatar. Master of all four elements, bridge between our world and the Spirit World.

It was his job to keep balance.

[notachickenhawk]

<Oh. ... I take it that was a pretty tough job.>

[daughterofursa]

[Zuko nods.]

Everyone expected him to bring an end to the war. And he had to fight my father to do it.

[notachickenhawk]

<... Oh.>

[He should ask how she feels about that, but he's not sure she wants to talk about it, or that he's qualified to talk about family things.]

<You don't have to worry about those kinds of things here, at least.>

[He brings Kizuna down so she's at eye level with Zuko.]

[daughterofursa]

I hope not.

[Azula's here, and while that's been going loads better than she anticipated, it's... still Azula. The potential for Zuko's life to go horribly wrong is still there.

She holds out her arm for Kizuna to cross back over to her, figuring Tobias doesn't want her crawling around up there all day.]

I can make sure no one else has to anyway.

[notachickenhawk]

<We all can. We're in this together.>

[daughterofursa]

I can handle my family.

[notachickenhawk]

<... True. But we're here if you want help.>

[daughterofursa]

Yeah. I know.

[She's just... not always good at asking for it. It's nice though?]
