Action

[therewerefifty]

[Makie has had the facts of this place explained to her already, by a gentleman in a... fairly awkward situation.

It doesn't prepare her for the reality of a village with occupants like none she's ever seen before. Some of you aren't even human, Luceti. The hell. She wanders the path of the village from Community Building #1 down toward the plaza still in her New Feather dress, just like a gawking tourist, and spends some time staring at the fountain and plaza itself. Uh.

...right. Okay. Time to begin glancing through various shops in her attempts to find the places she was told her things would be. She finds her clothes with a measure of relief, and her shamisen at the item store-- and after she picks it up, she frowns. It's too light. She doesn't need to open it to know she's missing something.

Eventually, she'll find her way into the forge to pick up the last of her things, pays a visit to the Welcome Centre-- and then finally fetches up at the tea shop, which is the most familiar-looking thing here.

...sort of. Never really loses that dazed and confused look.]

[Upstairs, he adjusts his glasses while wondering why his ears are burning.]

If you'd like! What kinds of things do you like to do?

[therewerefifty]

[Aha. Not that much. >.> But. She glances down at the lyranthe in her arms.]

I can play. And sing. But that... is probably not as useful as other things I could contribute.

[savedtheworld]

[Aang looks down at the lyranthe with a wide-eyed 'Ooh' expression. And he goes on enthusiastically.]

Really? That's great! Don't get down about it yet, it sounds like it'd be super useful in helping people feel better. I love music! But what other things do you think you can contribute?

[therewerefifty]

Well, I'm not sure. I'm willing to turn my hand to most things. I'm told there is farmland north of here. I have some experience with that. I could work as a waitress... I can weave. I can... entertain.

[savedtheworld]

I see. Well you don't have to decide right now! You can take your time thinking it over. And since no one's worried about money or anything here, you can just keep trying out different things until you find what you want to do the most!

[therewerefifty]

All right, I'll do that. Thank you, Aang.

[savedtheworld]

You're welcome, Makie. Anything to help a new friend. Is there anything else you need?

[therewerefifty]

[Now she shows her amusement.] Weren't you getting me a list?

[savedtheworld]

Of course! I meant aside from that. The list is right... here! [He slides forward the paper with the semi-up-to-date lists of houses and apartments.] You could try to find someplace empty or maybe see if there's anyone around you'd like to live with!

[therewerefifty]

All right. [Something empty seems the way to go, really. She takes the list, peering down at its contents for a moment.] Thank you, Aang. You've been very helpful.

[savedtheworld]

You're welcome! Feel free to take your time choosing. There's also some spare rooms around here that you're welcome to use until you decide where you want to live.

[therewerefifty]

I will keep that in mind. [Reassuring to hear, but if many of these apartments and houses are empty, it shouldn't be a problem just to take... well, the nearest one.

She bows.] Another time, Aang. [And she heads for the stairs to the tea shop with her list.]

[savedtheworld]

I'll see you around, then. It's been nice meeting you. [And he gives his own bow as she departs.]
