video: Avatar Arrival --> In person

[all_the_aangles]

[When the feed comes on it's clearly accidental. There is a close up of a pair of eyes, and a tattooed blue arrow on his forehead.]

Ok, so, screen towards me. Check.

[They glanced sideways and there was the sound of paper rustling.]

So the apple...no, app is open, ok. That's what they said. Wait, is it on?

[He steps back suddenly, revealing a sixteen-year-old in orange and yellow robes. He's smiling, and waves.]

Oh, hello. My name is Aang, and I've just -

[It's then that it turns out the camera was not t all securely placed, as it tumbles off of it's place, with there only time for a 'uh-oh' to be heard before the video feed cuts out. Technology isn't his forte, really. And he's a bit...discombobulated, really.]


But, in person...

But he's actually very easy to find, given his garb, and the staff at his side. The miniature skybison flying around him in a slow circle hardly hurts. The pixie sitting on his shoulder might be a little more familiar to the local population, though.

He's had some encounters, of course - and as he wanders he city, taking in the sights...he is bound to have many more.

But for a little while - just a little while - he isn't the Avatar. He's just a (relatively) normal teenager, who draws very little attention. For the moment, at least, he can just be Aang for the first time in his life.

Can I? I've never seen anybody like her before!

[sos_pilot]

Really? Your world doesn't have rabbits?

[ sure, it's a moon rabbit, but, details. ]

[all_the_aangles]

Not like this, anyways!

[He reaches out to very gently pet the rabbit.]

I think there might be something like this in the Earth Kingdom? But I'm only remembering Rabaroos right now.

[Exaaaactly what it sounds like.]

[sos_pilot]

... Rabroos? ... Not for nothing, but, uh, would it happen to be a tall creature that hops around and has a big pouch?

[all_the_aangles]

Yeah! And has the same teeth and ears as this little one here.

[And he is just delighted to meet them.]

[sos_pilot]

... That sounds like a horrifying abomination I'd love to see!

... Oh, and a combination of two animals from my world. Rabbit and a Kangaroo.

[all_the_aangles]

That is the weirdest thing.

[He shakes his head.]

I mean, we've got turtleducks where I'm from, but everywhere else, they're two separate things!

[sos_pilot]

... Which includes my world. A turtle and a duck together... I admit, having a shell would be handy!

[all_the_aangles]

[He nods.]

Uh-huh, because they're, you know, four-legged where I'm from. And people tell me they fly, in other worlds!

[sos_pilot]

Flying ducks or flying turtles? ... I mean, technically, I can fly... if I have a plane.

[all_the_aangles]

Ducks! I kinda hope turtles never fly, that'd just be too strange.

[sos_pilot]

I'd be careful about saying that here, buddy. It's nothing but strange.

[all_the_aangles]

[He rubs the back of his neck.]

Yeah, better not tempt the universe.
