Luci looked around. Crowds of people were packing, getting ready for something or other. She walked around, observing them. She had just arrived to the outskirts of Omashu. She had originally planned going into Omashu, but all these people leaving was a little suspicious. She looked around again and headed in toward the group, hoping to find someone to give her information with what was going on. She saw a young girl, older than her, maybe around the age of 16 or something. She was walking around as well. At the moment Luci saw no one her age, she shrugged and walked toward the girl with the braid.
Maybe she can tell me what's goin' on here. Luci thought.

Yoshitsune strode in and out of the crowd, surveying the many refugees she was going to help lead to Ba Sing Se. This must have been the biggest bunch of people she had ever helped at once. But then she saw a young girl of about 12 or 13 wandering around. It didn't seem as though she knew where she was going. Yoshitsune went to intercept her.
"Excuse me." She said. "Are you lost?"
(Just so everyone knows, she's talking to Luci.)

Luci turned at the sound of the voice to see a girl, not much older than 18 perhaps. Luci almost forgot that she had been asked a question and replied.
"Oh, yeah. Well...not really lost.. but...", Luci looked behind her to the crowd. "Definately confused."
She looked around again. "Um, well, I was on my way to Omashu, but, it seems everyone's leaving Omashu." She said.
"Did something happen that I don't know about?" She asked crossing her arms and raising an eyebrow.

"I don't think everyone's leaving, but, this is a group of refugees heading towards Ba Sing Se. There's been talk of a Firenation Resistant program there and some of the people here are looking to join it. But most are just looking for refuge. Are you traveling alone? I've done that before and found it unwise."

"Hmm." Luci replied. "Well, yeah I travel everywhere. Have been for the last year I think...anyway yeah it's alone, usually. That is if you don't count Aiko." At the sound of the name, a small animal resembling a lynx popped it's head out of Luci's backpack, but quickly retreated when it saw nothing interesting.
"I found him in my yard one day, he a little solitary, so sometimes he'll leave while I'm traveling, and I won't see him until days later."
Luci though for a moment. "Fire Nation Resistance eh? That sounds pretty interesting. Bu--wait, refugee? From what? What's happened to Omashu?" She asked.

"You mean you haven't noticed? It's been taken over by the Fire Nation. The King, Bumi, surrendered, and so the people of his city have decided to leave."
Yoshitsune thought for a moment. She then began again,"But about the Fire Nation Resistance, I'm not so sure they would let someone so young join. But you might have hope if you can bend. Can you?

Luci's eyes widened.
"Oh Jeez. He surrendered? To tell you the truth I hadn't even known that Omashu had been invaded. I guess I've been gone longer than I had originally thought." Luci said while her eyes wandered.
"Umm, I don't know. I hadn't even planned on joining this resistance thing. I travel. It's..what I do, I love it. Weird I know, but I don't really like staying in one place too long." She thought for a moment. "But now that I think about it, it would be pretty cool, and I'd be helping."
She hesitated.
"I can bend, yeah. But not a lot of people really give me a chance or really care because they think I'm too young. But I'm just as good as any bender in this crowd, I've been bending since before I was two." She stood for a second.
"Besides, you'll never know if I can help if you don't give me a chance. And I'd like to help. It'd be a nice break from traveling, something..different. I'm all for different." She replied waiting.

ok people, due to incredible amounts of godmoding I've deleted about 10 posts from Hok, Jade, and ZUKOSgotHEART. Jade and ZUKOS said it was alright to delete them, and that you would simply redue it, without the godmoding. For those who don't know godmoding is taking control of someone's character, without their permission, that includes saying that your character knows some elses character, without telling the other person *glances at Hok* @omni: I've modified my post to have my charrie in it here is the link: distanthorizons.proboards31.com/index.cgi?board=rpearth&action=display&thread=1154564450&page=1#1154883013

*I suppose I'll start again from Jade's last post*
Yoshitsune replied hastily to Luci, hoping that she was not offended,"I wasn't saying that you couldn't help because of your age, just that they might not let you join. But since you say that you've been bending since before you were two years old, I'm sure they would let you in. The thing is I'm not really in charge of them in any way. I'm actually quite new to the program. It seems they're short on members as of now, and so have sent me out to recruit. Looks like I'm doing my job though, huh?"she finished with a smile.

Yata took a good look at the large crowd packing their things and comforting one another for the journey ahead. Yata did not have much to pack just a simple bag with some clothes and his gloves, that was pretty musch all he had left from the village he was from. He bushed himself off and waondered through the camp. While exploring Yata over heard a group of 3 people talking about invasion ,joining resistances, Etc. Yata kept his distance he just wanted to get to the city so he could get on with his life.
Yata received orders to get in line near the front of the group and prepare to march. Yata gave a sigh and headed to the front.
this is going to be a long day... .

godhunter: thanks for that, it was kind of confusing for a moment there....and sorry i haven't posted in a while guys! not been able to get to the comp that much....
Now, with nothnig really left to do, Shinju once again scanned the faces in a crowd. She spotted a group of people who seemed to be having a conversation and she squinted her eyes.
Nothing interesting going on there, she thought while letting out a sigh.
Turning her head, she noticed her uncle talking to a large man who was gesturing widly with his hands. Am older woman stood beside them, noddingthoughtfully. Shinju shook her head dismissivly. Her uncle was a good man, but he was sometimes a little....obsessive. A sound squawk from one of the ostrich-horses brought her out of her thoughts. Shinju sighed again and picked up a broken stick form the ground. Twirling it in her fingers, she tested its strenght and then bent down. She began to draw a scene that resembled the one before her, detailing each face in the crowd. She smiled as she did so, and then became lost to the people around her.

Rendai set the cart down that he had been holding up while a smaller man repaired the broken wheel. Of all the things that needed to go right on this trip, one of the most important was that the carts were in good shape. If one of them broke and couldn't be fixed some people would lose some of their few possessions, something that Rendai couldn't stand.
The man thanked Rendai, and he picked up his axe and began to wander about the camp, watching the people prepare. Everything seems to be in order he thought to himself. He walked aimlessly for a few minutes, helping an elderly woman to pack her bag, and calming a horse, when he saw someone drawing on the ground. He walked up behind her and looked at the drawing. For something drawn in the dirt, it was really good. As he looked at it, he simply commented "Beautiful."

Shinju looked up swiftly.
A young man was standing over her, looking down at her drawing. She smiled and stood up, snapping the twig in half.
"Thank you." She looked at him for a moment or two and then stuck out her hand. "I'm Shinju. I don't think I've seen you before."

As yata took stand in the front of the group he decided to practice his bending. He started be raising and lowering himself with pillars of stone, next he created a small quake shaking folks a bit. Yata apologized and continued. The next move he decided to try was To kick the ground and produce spikes along a line. Feeling confidednt in his abilities yata jumped and created a small fissure in the ground below him. ending up in his humiliating fall into the crack ending up getting him self stuck. Embarrissingly he calls for help. Excuse me a little help please?

Rendai took the offered hand, "Nice to meet you Shinju, my name is Rendai." He released her hand and after a second offered, "I'm here to help the refugees reach Ba Sing Xe, I'm supposed to be a guide. What brings you to the once great city of Omashu?" he asked opening his arms wide to show the city that was falling apart.
