SCRIBS AVATAR AU MEME

yeah I basically just copypasta'd this


Earth, Fire, Air, Water.

Welcome to the World of Avatar, which your characters is now in — whether AU, or dragged through the magic of time and space. Is your character from any of the four nations? Are they a bender, or not? Are they an able chi-blocking artist, or do they sell cabbages out in the streets of the Fire Nation, Ba Sing Se, or even in the South Pole? Do they have to ride the large naval ships of the Fire Nation to get across, or do they have access via beautiful steampunk-inspired ships...?

It's your story.


▶ ERA
1. BSC — Anytime before Avatar Aang was born. Have you met Chin the Conqueror, or Fire Lord Sozin?
2. ASC — Avatar Aang's era. There's no such thing as Air Nomads anymore.
3. ASC, 70 years later — Avatar Korra's era. We're on the road to Republic City!


▶ SCENARIO SUGGESTIONS
1. Welcome, Avatar — You are the Avatar. Enjoy learning all four kinds of bending! And, perhaps, the secret fifth one.
2. Cactus Juice — Thirsty in the Si Wong Desert, or wherever you happen to be? Not a problem, open up a cactus and enjoy the juice, or buy it from the establishment nearby. It's trippy.
3. Fight Fight Fight! — You're challenged to a duel, or an Agni Kai — save your honor! Or disrupt it, whatever sets you on fire.
4. Pro-bending — We hope you know the rules. If you're the Avatar, please stick to one element or you're disqualified. Don't you want to win?
5. Chi-blocked — Suddenly, your bending abilities were taken away! Or were you the one that blocked their skills?
6. There is no war in Ba Sing Se — Get ready to escape Lake Laogai, if you can, or are you there to save someone?
7. Underground Library — The Knowledge Spirit has allowed you to read.
8. I'm ready, Sifu — Are you a bender, a humble fighter, or a beginner? Either way, your training starts now! Impress your masters, have fun with your classmates.
9. Is that a Polar bear-dog? — One animal plus one animal makes a crazy combination! Ready to ride a sky bison, or are you ready to run from a pack of armadillo lions?
10. The Cave of Two Lovers — Were you bothered by a band of hippies, and ended up here? Good luck finding your way out. Maybe the riddle they told you would be useful right now. ("Love is brightest in the dark.")
11. Cart riding in Omashu — Using the delivery system as your personal slide. Don't crash into too many houses, now.
12. Kyoshi Island — Want to ride the large Elephant Koi, or the Unagi? Or are you exploring, or a protector of the Island?
13. Wildcard — Lost in a swamp, losing yourself in the Avatar state, or did you drink the wrong tea? The choice is yours!

[Chrysi's eyes narrow at that, because if there's one thing Grandmamma taught her it's to always expect a trick, dirty or otherwise, from one's opponent. So, feeling that her honor has been sufficiently restored, she decides to end this.

Her hands glide in front of her in a deceptively gentle, artful manner that would not have been out of place in the routine of a street dancer. In response, Kalfour's snap up to lock firmly around his own throat. Not enough to strangle--yet--but enough to be uncomfortable. She offers him a bit of friendly advice.]


You should probably yield now.
phlogistos: (Default)

wow!!!!!! how am I the jerk in the situation??? RUDE

[personal profile] phlogistos 2012-04-04 12:32 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh Chrysi... You underestimate two things here. First, how deeply ingrained the Baron's teachings are in him at this point. He does not yield until he's been beaten bloody and even then he might try to keep going. And second, how little regard for his own life he's got]

[He does not answer except to smile carefully and tilt his head back a little, staring at the ceiling. There is a very fine line here. For as little thought as he gives his life, there are parts of him that will not let him die, that are already starting to buzz faintly in his head. His breath shifts again and stays shifted this time. On the sidelines, the Baron grins. Careful, girl :|b]
capillaryaction: (Sulking)

because she is obviously the victim here

[personal profile] capillaryaction 2012-04-04 12:39 am (UTC)(link)
[She waits, and when no forfeit comes, sighs. She's not an idiot, really, and the audible click of her grandmother's teacup being set down is just even more incentive to watch her step. She does not become cocky, she does not grandstand about how he has no chance, and she stays a good distance away.]

Okay then. We'll do it that way.

[And she clenches her hands. His own tighten, not enough to crush anything permanently, but if he doesn't do something he has only a couple minutes before he passes out.]
phlogistos: (Default)

UMMMMMMMMM

[personal profile] phlogistos 2012-04-04 12:52 am (UTC)(link)
[...he actually does wait... probably longer then he should really. But this is just such a surreal thing that's happening right now! Being choked by his own hands. Hm]

[Eventually, he lets out this... sound, something perhaps eerily similar to the Baron's usual cackle if it happened to be done nearly breathless, and then he--]


I give. [--says this with the very last bit of his air. AHAHA and his grandfather goes stone cold stiff on the sidelines]

[They will probably have words about this later. Kalfour is pretty sure he's won this particular round though 8>]
capillaryaction: (Shame)

[And with that, Chrysi brightens right up, flicking her fingers and letting him breathe. Another move sends the roots slowly slithering back into the ground. By the time they're gone, she's kneeling at his side and gently running her fingers over his throat to inspect the damage.]

Tch. Stubborn...you almost cut it too close there.

[personal profile] phlogistos 2012-04-04 01:01 am (UTC)(link)
[Hm... idk how closely she checked those roots out as they retreated, but the bases were totally scorched? Oh well, doesn't matter now because he is back to being awkward about someone being this close to him. Folds his hands rather tightly in front of him, staying carefully still for her]

Would you have, maybe, really killed me...? [WHAT A MORBID QUESTION??]
capillaryaction: (Gratitude)

.... :<

[personal profile] capillaryaction 2012-04-04 01:05 am (UTC)(link)
[She continues her investigation, ignoring her grandmother's suggestive chuckles, and gives him an equally morbid answer.]

Oh, goodness no! If I had wanted to kill you I would have done so immediately and made your tongue rip itself out or something like that. But suffocation is tricky, you know? you might have damaged yourself. If you had lasted much longer I would have probably let go of your hands and just pull all the blood to your head.
phlogistos: (Default)

...don't you give me that face

[personal profile] phlogistos 2012-04-04 01:11 am (UTC)(link)
[WELL... OKAY... THEN.......]

Oh... Well I guess maybe that's a good thing to know...

[lksjdf he doesn't even really know what to say to that!!! Also I guess, heads up he's got Hella Burn Scars that just start to show along the edge of his shirt? They match the ones around his eye so it's probably not a mystery where they came from, but yeah... there's that]

:ccccccc

[personal profile] capillaryaction 2012-04-04 01:14 am (UTC)(link)
Can you breathe okay? Are you seeing black spots anywhere? Are you dizzy?

[She idly traces one of the marks, her brow furrowing.]
phlogistos: (Default)

no stop I can't deal with it

[personal profile] phlogistos 2012-04-04 01:20 am (UTC)(link)
Yes-- [Grabs her wrist!! Very nearly 'eep'ing at the contact, glancing down at her hand... then back up to her... What are you doing please stop]

Yes, I'm. Fine.
capillaryaction: (Shame)

:(

[personal profile] capillaryaction 2012-04-04 01:41 am (UTC)(link)
......are you scared of me now?

[Grandmamma looks unsettlingly interested now.]
phlogistos: (Default)

lakjsdlfjaksdf rolls away sobbing

[personal profile] phlogistos 2012-04-04 01:46 am (UTC)(link)
[Baron is side eyeing you Grandmamma, even if he's rather interested himself...]

Um. No, I don't really think so. I just. Wish that maybe you wouldn't... [Touch his scars? Pushes her wrist back towards and lets it go. Quieter: ] Please don't.
capillaryaction: (Shame)

/wibbles

[personal profile] capillaryaction 2012-04-04 01:53 am (UTC)(link)
S-sorry. It's...weird right?

[She deflates a bit. Everybody flinches back from her eventually, not counting Grandmamma.

...who is tapping her fingers against the arm of her chair pensively.]
phlogistos: (Default)

screeches /claws at face NO STOP

[personal profile] phlogistos 2012-04-04 01:57 am (UTC)(link)
[...touching peoples' trauma scars? Yes that's weird Chrysi don't do that. Or does she mean... Okay, purses his lips slightly. Confused!]

I guess a little? It seems. Mostly like a useful thing to be able to do, to me... [Little shrug!] I've never really met anyone else who could do. Anything like it...

[And the Baron's just sitting back, letting his eye drift between the kids talking and Grandmamma apparently being concerned about something or other???]
capillaryaction: (Joy)

n-never /sniffles

[personal profile] capillaryaction 2012-04-04 02:02 am (UTC)(link)
R...really?! You don't think it's freakish, or that I'm creepy?

[Chrysi gabs his hand and leans forward eagerly, blushing slightly. Grandmamma seems to be waiting for something, waving off the Baron's curiosity.]

Th...then would you maybe...I-I mean, do you want to, um...
phlogistos: (Default)

omg... ;A; /wraps in a blanket

[personal profile] phlogistos 2012-04-04 02:54 am (UTC)(link)
U-um...

[Okay that stutter is for everything that just happened there. Because well... he certainly thinks she's a little creepy, but he also lives with the Baron so his tolerance for creepy is pretty high. He's just really really practical and he can see how useful her bending would be. So it just doesn't bother him too much :X]

[But! His hand goes kinda limp in hers because lksjdflj he doesn't know what to do when people touch him]


Want to...?
capillaryaction: (Optimism)

being a bloodbender is hard

[personal profile] capillaryaction 2012-04-04 03:30 am (UTC)(link)
Do...do...doyouwanttobefriends?

[Grandmamma pouts, a little disappointed, still monitors Kalfour for his respose.]
phlogistos: (Default)

it's hard and nobody understands

[personal profile] phlogistos 2012-04-04 03:35 am (UTC)(link)
[...BARON IS LAUGHING SORRY GRANDMAMMA]

[But okay yes, Kalfour gives her this careful, awkward smile and nods very slightly]


Yes, I. Think that would be nice.
capillaryaction: (Gratitude)

u_u

[personal profile] capillaryaction 2012-04-04 03:39 am (UTC)(link)
[Chrysi all but tackles him in an excited hug, and yeah, okay; sorry Kalfour, Grandmamma has to laugh too.]
phlogistos: (Default)

gently headpats

[personal profile] phlogistos 2012-04-04 04:24 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh god oh god oh god okay, tenses all up, just kinda... awkwardly... touching her shoulders with the tips of his fingers. He doesn't know how to hug anymore help]

U-umm.
capillaryaction: (Optimism)

[personal profile] capillaryaction 2012-04-04 01:14 pm (UTC)(link)
[Lucky for him, Chrysi is enthusiastic enough for the both of them.]
phlogistos: (Default)

[personal profile] phlogistos 2012-04-05 09:54 am (UTC)(link)
[Shriek oh no it's not over yet leaning away a little bit, staring at the ceiling. Kinda... squeaky and faint: ]

Okay... [...yes, he can do this. This is perfectly fine yep yep yep he totally doesn't want to crawl out of skin here yep]
