Alleluia looked at GUG. Then she looked back at the fishstealing squirrel.
wait a minute.. she thought. Squirels don't normally eat fish. I bet he is feeling pretty sick of it. Hmmm.... Alleluia smirked as she got an idea.
Alle raised her hand and, with a deft turn of her wrist, caused the disk of earth directly under the squirrel to spin seperate from the ground around it. Then she spun it around and around at a dizying pace. Once she was satisfied that the squirrel had been spun around enough she flattened her palm to the ground, causing the disk to sudenly stop. Left in its wake was one very dizzy and, she hoped, very nautious rodent. She watched with satisfaction as the squirrel swayed his way back to the bushes.
Serves him right. Alle nodded to herself and turned back to GUG.

Para sighed impatiently. "Look, just read this. It explains everything." She placed the stack of papers on Gambitia's lap.

Para failed to notice that Gambitia had fainted upon seeing the squirrels.

"It might be a bit awkward. After all, if three's a crowd, then what's one more than three?" Upon seeing the squirrels, the storyteller tilted his head curiously. Reaching into his bag, he started to pull out pieces of biscuit and a few assorted nuts that he'd picked up and never eaten. "You know what this group doesn't have," He asked with a soft chuckle. "Pirates. I don't see any pirates around here. I've always wanted to be a pirate - it sounded like a most interesting sort of life. But then I ran into some actual pirates - and they told me some interesting stories about some very strange folks who wanted to be pirates."

[*slaps self* It's because AOL is so slow, I get behind in posts. It's annoying. *shakes fist*]
Para took the papers back after realizing that Gambitia had just fainted. This time, she may end up burning them anyway.

The storyteller peered over at Para curiously, "Are you a writer then? Good to know there's still some free spirits left in the world." He stretched his legs. "I've heard some disturbing stories that have kept me from the walls of Ba Sing Se. I guess I'll know soon enough if they're true."

(nice story Para. I left a review on FF.net)
Alleluia glanced past GUG to see another young woman she knew laying on the ground, surrounded by more of those dratted Fish-stealing squirrels!
She looked to GUG.
"Come on." she growled out as she pointed at the fainted Gambitia. "I think she needs some help."
She got up and walked toward the scene. She flicked her hand as she went, causing some of the squirrels to become the flying kind as she bent the ground beneath them and flung them away from Gambitia.
"Man, what is *up* with these things?" she questioned GUG as she bent more suirrels into the air. "I mean, normally squirrels are so cute and ... not a nuiscance. But these guys..." she shook her head.

"Yes...but my writing...it is...forbidden within the walls." Para sighed. "I know of many disturbing things that take place within the walls, but I have duties at the university. Anyway, if you'll excuse me, I have to go return this apron to the tea house I worked at for one of my news articles and then get to the university so I may help my father. Nice to meet you all. If we meet again, I hope it is...away from the destructive commerce of the inner walls of Ba Sing Se and the Dai Li."
[This is Para, passing out from sleep deprivation and lagging computers. Good night!!]

"I'll be right back, everyone!"
A hum of "okay!"s met Ad's ear as she rushed away from the campfire; Fish... ah, well it never sat too well with her. She was off to find a kiosk or vendor further along the wall - they usually stationed themselves there so they could sell to tired refugees just entering the city from the ground entrance. She walked for a few minutes before stumbling upon the first few.
With the few copper pieces she had, she purchased some delectable flaming fire flakes from a vendor daring enough to stock them. She smiled; Fire Flakes always managed to remind her of good times. She had just finished paying the vendor when she spun around, ready to return to the campfire - and that's when she saw it.
Rolling the remaining copper pieces in her palm, she smiled wide.

Looking towards the walls of Ba Sing Se that seemed more ominous than reassuring, the storyteller could only nod - his usual humour giving way to a moment of brief solemnity. "May good fortune guide your footsteps my young friend. As she does for all those who wander..."

Kat had just been harassed by one of the squirels had fallen asleep in the extreme exaustion.

I used my waterwhip as I followed Alle's lead in removing the troublesome squirrels. Upon reaching Gambitia's limp form, I motioned my head at Alle to help me carry her into one of the tents.
As we place Gambitia down upon her earth-made bed, a moan escapes her mouth.
"Can't even blame it on the sake tonight Gambitia. Sleep well, the squirrels are gone." I speak as if she hears me.
I join General Alle outside the rock tent as she hands me some official looking papers.
"What is this?" I ask
Alle rolls her eyes up to meet mine. "I think you should read it Ambassador GUG."

(Alleluia: Thank you. I don't know if I'd call him precisely a character. But he's not quite me either ) Stormy eyes flitted across the mostly quiet clearing, uncertainty now obvious in every line of the storyteller’s body as he shifted a little. He preferred the cheerful company of his fellow refugees to this enforced silence. It was times like this when he remembered his misgivings about coming here – misgivings he still harboured. If free speech was truly as oppressed as he’d heard, he had the feeling he would not last long in Ba Sing Se. He almost got up to leave. Almost… Perhaps he still would. But it would be in the morning with the sun on his shoulders and the voice of his mistress tickling at his ear. There was still time to make a decision.

After reading over the document Alle handed me, I looked to walls of Ba Sing Se and then back to Para.
"Is what you say true? There is a conspiracy of brainwashing within these great walls?" My eyes plead with hers begging her to tell it is fiction and not true.
Para adverts her eyes to the ground and that is all the answer I need.
"We traveled through the entire world to come to the most corrupt place other than the Fire Nation?" I state more than I demand an answer.
I look around at all the refuge campers. They have no idea what we are in for inside those stone walls. I think about what tomorrow will bring until I hear the laughter from across the way.
This was not the time or place to feel anger. This was a time for us all to rejoice in each other's company. I handed the paper back to Para.
"This my friend, is one well written document. Thank you for sharing this information with myself and General Alle."
I smile at Para to soften my last statement. She smiles back and understands that I truly meant what I said.
