Yomi nudged Chiko. "Why don't we sing tonight." Chiko blushed and shook his head. Mao tickled his neck which brought a laugh. "You need to laugh a little" Chiko nodded and stood and walked to the center. He looked around the camp and Yomi and Mao came next to him. "We would like to Sing a song for everyone! We call it Rapture it's on the forms of love!" Chiko made a humming noise and then in a cleare voice he sang of Friendship with a light alto voice that was pure and very pleasing to hear The Air Trio’s Rapture
Chiko of Friendship I found you sitting alone Your words comforting and sweet You guide me with your gentle tones Your touch makes me complete
Bound we wander together in grace Like deer in a glade You smile with a look of joy on your face We dance in harmony until the day fades
Your voice is honey for my ears You never regretted standing by my side You soothe my hurts and fears You are my friend and guide
Yomi Sang of Romance his more tenor voice
Yomi of Romance You captured me in your web spun in your words of laughter and light You stand close though the time’s ebb You consume me in loving flight
I’m drunk your smile Craving more and more You dance to ensnare and beguile I shiver to the core
Through our courting and trials You continue you keep me in your grasp And you stay with me through the miles Even until my parting rasps
Mao deeper voice with sultry with erotic undertones.
Mao of Lust You make me weak and small Powerless in your wonton kisses More I want the more I fall And it leaves me breathless and listless
Madly in pleasure of your heat You make me pant and crave So intoxicating and sweet You make me feel like a childish slave
In mad euphoria I love you Hold me close and whisper in my soul In embrace a I release my devotion anew Through waves of ecstasy I’m part of you whole.
The Trio bowed and returned to there spots

Post by Alleluia on Sept 23, 2006 22:02:21 GMT -5
Alleluia trudged along the road, grumbling as she tripped over another root in the path. You'd think that, being an Earthbender, her footing would be more sure, but no such luck. She sighed. That was the hundreth root or rock or just plain, mysterious object she had tripped on since sundown! She was starting to wish she was a lightbender or something else equally silly. Then she could at least be able to see right now and stop spraining her ankles.
Alleluia shivered as she pulled her traveling cloak tighter. The air had a real bite to it tonight. She really should have worn heavier clothing before setting out on her journey. Or at least, packed an extra blanket....
Oh well, she shrugged.
She needed to travel light, anyway. The road to Ba Sing Se was long and difficult enough, no sense in bringing extra baggage to make it harder.
Getting to the city quickly was her chief concern these last few days. She had someone very important to meet with on Zutarian Empire business and they couldn't be kept waiting. Unfortunately, she still had yet to find a replacement mount since her Komodo Rhino, Bob, had gone missing. So she had been forced to travel on foot the whole way.
And it was almost *impossible* to see now, hence all the tripping. Plus, she was cold, and weary--Alle's stomach growled loudly at that moment. She massaged her stomach gingerly.
And I am so hungry, I could eat a full grown mooselion. she thought to herself.
It'd do her no good if she got lost on the way ot the city, passed out from weariness and hypothermia and ended up dying of starvation! Honestly, what a way to go...
Alleluia stopped walking for a moment. She Earthbent a seat for herself and sat down to give her tired feet a few moments rest. She just sat there, listening to the quiet around her.
At least, it was suppossed to be quiet...
Alleluia cocked her head to one side. Were those voices she was hearing?
She got up and walked through the surrounding trees toward the sound. At the edge of the treeline she looked out into the inky darkness of the night.
There! Not more than a few hundred yards from her, she could see the cosiest looking campfire, the elongated dark silohuettes of people gathered around it in a ring.
Alleluia was overjoyed. She had to conitue on her way, but she needed a break for a little while. This looked like the perfect place to stop. There were quite a few people. and people meant conversation and company. Maybe she could even get a meal out of it..
Alleluia hoisted her bag up into a more comfortable postition on her shoulder and headed off toward the light, a spring in her step.
As she appraoched the fire, she could smell the alluring aroma of fresh fish. She walked faster still, but forced herself to keep from running. She had to retain some dignity, afterall.
She finally reached the fire and slowed to a stop. The people there noticed her pretty quickly and watched her, claerly wondering who she was.
Ok, Alle. she thought with a tinge of nervousness.Just say "Hi."
"um, hello there. " She said, the most innocent smile smile she could muster plastered on her face. "I was just passing by and I saw this fire... So, I was wondering if I could join you all." She sniffed the air. "Is that fish I smell? It sure smells appetizing."

I roar loudly at the awesome performance from the three young men. "Such talent!" I shout as I get to my feet to show my enthusiasm.
I look around at the crowd before me. Surely there had to be more talent within our circle. I stop the newcomer with the mandolin.
"would you care to sing us a song too?" I ask as I see a figure behind our crowd.
"Another?" I think to myself.
She looked tired and before I could greet her, she asked about the fish. I just smile and hand her a plate while motioning with my hand for her to have a seat and join the fun.

Haruka claps in awe. "You three are wonderful! You all possess such great talent."
Blushing at her talentless self, she turned away, hiding in her hair, and started to eat some fish.

Hearing the singing and eager to join the group by the fire, Amira approaches and offers fruits and sweets purchased from towns she has visited. She smiles, enjoying the sight of people coming together, even in a simple gathering such as this.
Eager to preserve the moment, she pulls out a scroll of paper and her beloved pens and starts sketching.

"Hi Amira", Outcast greeted happily, "I wish I had something to share, but this meeting caught me by surprise." Outcast eats some fish,"Wow, this is great."

[Oooh...seems like such a fun game. I cannot resist! *joins in*]
Slowly and quietly, Paraiba Ocean, Para as her friends called her, left the small store she worked in and trudged along the streets of Ba Sing Se. It was dark and mysterious, as it had been the day she had arrived. A small group of people were gathered and she could not help but wonder what was going on.

Welcome Para and Amira. So nice to have you join us.
Anyone have a pic, video or story they'd like to share? Something you found along your travels maybe?

She thought she was hungry before, but now that she had seen the food, her hunger seems to have somehow increased. She hadn't known that was posible. She gratefully took the plate of food handed to her and rushed over to an open spot on the ground. So preoccupied was she with the food in her hands, she didn't realize that she hadn't even bothered to thank the person who had given it to her until she was comfortably seated. In fact, she hadn't even really looked at them.
Alle berated herself. This was not the proper way for the Earthbending General of the Zutarian Army to behave, no matter how hungry she was.
With a great effot, Alle forced herself to put the plate on the ground and get up once again. She walked over to the kind person who had given it to her. It was a woman who now had her back turned, watching the performances of the others gathered around the group. Alle waited until the present act was over and then lightly tapped the woman on the shoulder.
"Excuse me," she began as the girl turned. "I wanted to thank you for the fish. I am sorry I was so rude earlie-- Oh my gosh, GUG!" Alleluia exclaimed in suprise when the woman had finallly turned fully toward her. It was her old friend, girlunderglass! Alle stood there in suprise, smiling goofily.

C'mon c'mon c'mon c'mon c'mon c'mon!
Ad ran in place, anxiously waiting for the ferry to dock. How long did it take to cross Full Moon Bay anyway?! A foghorn honked, indicating that the ferry was almost ready to dock. A few minutes later a loud thunk sounded, and the ferry exits were opened. Pressing her way through the great crowd of refugees, she did whatever she could to get out as fast as she could. She felt her leg bonk into something as she hurried on, and could've sworn she heard a shriek of, "MY CABBAGES!!" But there was no time to lose! She sprinted forward, out onto the wooden pier, and then onto the long dirt road, becoming smaller and smaller as she ran into the distance towards the great Outer Wall.
Ad didn't know what time it was when she saw the campfire. A warm feeling enveloped her when she saw the silhouettes of other people, and heard their singing and laughing from afar. She slowed down as she neared the fire, eventually coming to a steady jog. Bounding up to the others, she wiped her forearm on her head.
"Whew! Hey, guys! Sorry I'm late!"

"You seem to have a lively interaction going on here. What's the occasion?" Para asked directly, raising her eyebrows and pushing her astray bangs out of her eyes.

He blinks at the question then grins, "What do you take me for?" He leaned against a tree, strumming his fingers lightly over the strings of his instrument - his grin giving way to a lazy smile as he surveyed the gathered refugees. "It seems like everyone here has been through some hard times. But it's my philosophy to not let things like that get the best of me. I prefer to take things easy."
"I don't have a place I call home - get enough people in a place and inevitably you get rules and all sorts of troublesome things that keep people from enjoying life. It makes them think too hard." He made a fluttering gesture with his fingers and laughed softly. "So how about a song that I personally think fits my point of view perfectly."
Clearing his throat, he strummed the strings again, a foolishly pleased expression on his face as a melody began to emerge. He didn't seem to be paying any mind to what he was doing as he began singing.
The trouble with people is They always try to teach the wrong lesson Believe me, I've been kicked out of enough towns to know They want you to become less callow, less shallow
He made a sound that was either a scoff or a laugh at that, but didn't stop singing, shrugging a little.
But I say why invite stress in? Stop studying strife And learn to live the unexamined life...
He pushed away from his tree and wandered across to the other side of the campfire as he sang, his loose, swaying walk giving him the impression of someone who might fall over at any moment.
Dancing through life... skimming the surface Climbing where turf is smooth Life's more painless for the brainless Why think too hard when it's so soothing...
He eased himself down onto a large rock, barely seeming interested in keeping his limbs from becoming tangled as he lowered himself to an approximation of a sitting position.
Dancing through life, no need to tough it When you can sluff it off as I do
He draped himself over the rock's surface, a splash of bright colour against the grey.
Nothing matters, but knowing nothing matters It's just life! So keep dancing through.
He seemed unable to sit still for long, mere moments later he was on his feet again in a motion that was startlingly quick. Every action makes him seem like a marionette - a strange mixture of jerkiness and fluid grace.
Dancing through life, swaying and sweeping And always keeping cool Life is fraughtless, when you're thoughtless Those who don't try never look foolish
He danced, if one could call it a dance. It was a series of loose motions that sent his loose garments to fluttering, fingers never hesitating on the strings.
Dancing through life, mindless and careless Make sure you're where less Trouble is rife Woes are fleeting, blows are glancing When you're dancing through life...
He hung there for a moment, fingers poised just above the wood of his mandolin, then he flopped to the ground unceremoniously, sprawled out on his back lazily. He let the instrument remain where it was resting across his chest, reaching up and pushing his hat over his eyes with one finger.

I clap and cheer for Growly and his wonderful song. I smile to myself thinking about how wonderful this night is turning out to be when I hear my name being called.
With my eyes wide open I squealed in delight to see my long time General Alle stand before me. I lift my hand to salute her and decide against it in trade for a hug.
"How have you been.. Where have you been? It's been so long.. What are you doing here at Ba Sing Se?" I trip over a long string of statements.
Behind her I see Ad come into my view. I throw my hands to my head and start to cry at the sight of my friends from long ago.
