    If I ever get my story done, Xin Mao and Bai Mao have some "crossover potential" as well. Two guys with similar names who are both masters with polearms.

    If and when I finish my season (3 chapter wrap-up, coming around Easter) I'm probably headed your way. If DJ doesn't have a story, anyway.

    Feel free to use him(as long as you don't kill him), but Xin Mao isn't the one with pole arm experience. Xin Mao is the fat desert bandit kingpin that Van(the pole arm guy) is trying to get away from.

    Oh, MASSIVE brainfart.

    I call no safety

    By the way... what's with the dragons. Are you raising them online as part of some weird animal growing thing.

    And Eman858 I think your story kick's @ss but unless i am reading a futuristic version of AVATAR why are there engines/motors on the boats/ships.

    Only the firenation has reached the industrial age and that's only because they can bend fire. I think your story would be more to truth and just as cool without the engines.

    PS Confusoiussasyhi could you explain this part to me. srry for not getting it:

    Neither of them talked. "...See? I saw it. You've got fire. Tea is for old men who want to relax." Kibu finally said, breaking the silence.

    She finally responded. "Oh, haha. Sorry. I was just thinking." she was different now, much cheerier and was smiling.

    Nice character by the way. Your picture of her(I forget what you call them/it?) doesn't do her justice.

    I know, I was gonna go a lil deeper in this in the next post, but telling it now won't matter much.

    Unless I did it by mistake and don't remember, I never specifically said it was an Earth Kingdom cargo ship. I realize now I could've handled it much better(like being more descriptive about the crew and captain), but I was trying to imply that this ship wasn't filled with honest to goodness people. Like what kind of cargo ship keeps a bunch of weapons on board? Or has crew members that try to ambush and kill someone? And has a captain who would sell a girl off without a second thought?

    The EK doesn't have a great navy, so I'd imagine a lot of smuggling and illegal activities happen on the waters. Even so much that a ship can pass for being legit...

    Much of the Fire Nation war technology, such as the War baloons, the Drill, and possibly the tanks, was designed and built by the Mechanist, and Earth Kingdom Citizen. The FN "stole" it's industrialization.

    Nice character by the way. Your picture of her(I forget what you call them/it?) doesn't do her justice.

    Ah, by far the weakest point in my story. Kibu's a wanted criminal, and Sari is a detective, so she was like "Oh **** the guy we've been looking for just offered me a drink!". But, in order to catch him, she tries to sound like she's enjoying it. Takes drink, blah blah blah, hits Kibu with stick. Lights out.

    And the wording of Kibu's line was a major block for me. I couldn't find the right word. Soz. No chibi picture can ever do the character justice, but it's just a general idea of what she looks like.

    And Eman, a crossover is definitely possible. Strangely, both of our characters are somewhat good-natured criminals who know and have ties to the dark underbelly of the Avatar crime world. Kibu isn't necesarily tied to the desert, but he does know people there, seeing as how he takes jobs from people all over the EK. But not this season. I have certain things I want to do. But next season, if you haven't killed Van like you "killed" Indra or how I really killed Dak, then sure. Maybe a cameo for now.

    OBJECTION! dude the firenation is strolling around in a panzer. They basically created motorized vehicles. Those tanks that they roll around in move by firebending. And conceivable the earth nation could create its own engine by earthbending but it wouldn't blow up b/c none of its parts would rely on pressure or heat. (if it were hydraulic then yes pressure).

    OBJECTION!!!

    You don't need fire bending to make fire, therefore, you don't need firebending to run a steam engine. Any EK captain with a couple brutish dunces to shovel his coal can have a ship with an engine. And, it could be sized down to work on a dinghy.

    Correction!!! I do know this but if anybody didn't notice not even Ba Sing Se used anything that used an engine. From there i would then say that in order to have an engine the boat would have to be made out of metal not wood.

    His head banged against the side of the hatch as he fell. Shouts came from updeck, and footsteps thudded against wood as more guards came to see what was happening and probably to beat Van's head in. It was about to get crowded real soon, Van had to move.

    Only The FN has a fleet of ships b/c they can melt and mold metal with heat. Everybody else used wooden ships. A lot of stuff is made out of metal in the FN because their industrial age came so easily to them.

    I don't mean to nitpick your cool story but I like the debates.

    Ahhh, touche. Definitely not wise to make a ship made of wood and have some heat element power the ship. I probably should've made it a sailing ship and had the mast suddenly collapse or something.

    Ah well, live n learn.

    Hey dafoose I've gotta question for you. Would you mind if I went back through my story and did reruns. I want to fix up any plot holes and errors i find. I'm kinda stuck anyway.

    Er, well, doing re runs is a matter of taste. My opinion doesn't really matter. You might flop in your ratings tho. xD

    Well if you enjoyed them the first time then have fun if otherwise then welcome to purgatory.

    ////////////

    Siam - airbender

    Mizuhiro - firebender

    ~~The beggining~~

    Siam- air bender

    City off the southwestern coast of the earth .kingdom

    ///////////////////////

    As she walked, Siam realized just how tired and exhausted she was. Gliding in and of itself does not take a lot of strength but instead it takes focus, balance, and above all a need to stay awake. If one does not maintain any one of these they will crash or not be able to fly at all. Having flown for several hours, so she could make it on time. Siam was feeling the effects to a point where she didn't see that she was walking into the fish cart, and sent it toppling onto the gravel road. "Ugh, what was that?"

    A burly man came out of a bar on the opposite side of the street and ran up to Siam. Clearly being drunk he swayed and slurred as he began to talk. "Wat do ya ink (hick) your doin to ma cart! Seak to me damnit (hick)!"

    Still recovering from her fall Siam did not know what to say. She was feeling tired and now was feeling so bewildered that she thought she was going to cry. At that point the burly man lost his patience and was reaching down to grab her. But just as he was going too someone started to attack the man. The person grabbed the man's arm with one hand then twisted around and drove his elbow into the man's stomach then his face knocking the drunk unconscious.

    When Siam finally got a good look at the person she was astonished to find that it was a young boy probably in his mid-teens. He wore a red tunic with black shorts and sandals. He had brown short hair and carried a sack around his shoulder. The boy looked over the unconscious drunkard's to make sure he stayed that way then turned and held out his hand.

    "Are you okay Miss...?"

    Blushing out of her own clumsiness she extended her own hand in gratitude. "Siam, my name is Siam."

    "Siam," replied the boy. "That's a beautiful name. And what brings a person like you to a place as decayed as this?"

    "Actually I just got here and am visiting my parents. Um, is he dead?"

    "No, don't worry about him he's just unconscious and actually he could use it more often. He's a jerk even when he's sober... the cart not even his. By the way I say you stumble and even then you were looking sick. Are you okay?"

    "No I'm fine; just a little fatigued and hungry."

    "Hmm...," he said scratching his head. "Wait, I got something." The boy reached down into his sack and made a notion for Siam to come closer. As he finally found what he was looking for he pulled it out and presented it to her. Siam looked down at the object and realized that it was fruit-tart. She looked at him and shook her head.

    "Wow that looks good but I really couldn't. I'm about to head over to my parents and I don't want to spoil my dinner."

    "Awe common have one. If the people knew that I had these I'd either have a lot of friends or get beat up, not that I'd let that happen. Well if you don't want one then for the sake of your rescuer at least eat half of one."

    He put on the puppy dog face and looked as if he was going to cry.

    "Well...," she replied.

    Before she could finish her sentence the boy had already broken one and had placed it in her hand. He smiled innocently and put the other half in his mouth. They both sat there silently and ate the tarts for a second. As she chewed the tart she realized just how good it was. The tart was still warm and flakey and not like the food she had to carry on her when she flew.

    "So you're an air bender? I recognized it by your staff and the part about flying in."

    "Yes I am, and you're a fire nation student aren't you? Playing hooky?"

    He looked at her sheepishly. Then after producing a flame from his palm he replied. "Caught red-handed... anyway who are your parents, they must be lost too if there anywhere near here."

    She laughed at him and then pinched his cheek. "You really are funny and actually they are liaisons headed for the fire nation. Their staying at some inn in but I don't know where or which one."

    "I bet they're staying at the white dragon. That's where all the rich or important people stay when they come to this town. It's actually in a different district, the rich one to be exact, and a good walk in-land but if you want to I can show you where it is."

    "A comedian as well as a gentleman. Alright I'll take your offer."

    ------------

    "Well this is it," the boy replied.

    Siam looked at the inn and realized it was for like a mansion or palace. The place was entirely white except for the roof. It had a magnificent entrance that had the black outline of a dragon snaking around it. The inn looked a little ominous as if it were trying to stare down Siam with its gloriousness. "Wow..."

    The boy looked at her and chuckled. "Yeah most people get that when they first look at it. Anyway it was nice saving you but I've got to get going before it gets dark. "

    Just as he started to run Siam she snapped out of her state of gapping and called out to him. "Wait, you never told me your name?"

    "Oh yeah, my bad. It's Mizuhiro."

    Waving goodbye to him Siam walked into the White Dragon. "I had a good time talking with you Mizuhiro and thanks for the tart."

    Posting reruns? I'll definitely get into that.

    Bai Mao (firebender, Pudao)

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    We hadn't eaten in a day. The fish had left the river and the trees had no fruit. Gweh, Yonhi, Burai, and I were used to situations like these, but the rest of my group were in a bad mood. There was rarely a minute when someone wasn't squabbling. I sought retreat in my own mind, but too much seemed to be going on. I had barely spoken to Jasmine since her "confession." Our relationship seemed to be thinning. I thought of Rieji alot. The map created a new puzzle to be solved. Everyone was bickering again. I couldn't stand it any longer.

    B'ao: Quiet!

    Everyone stopped.

    B'ao: Could I at least get a moment to hear myself think? I know we're all hungry. Consider the fact that I shared the last of my food among you and didn't eat anything myself for two days. Look ahead. trees. Looks like some sort of swamp. We'll probably find some lizards or something to eat.

    There was strong objection.

    B'ao: Unless you want to go hungry for another few days. that's fine with me.

    Half an hour later, we reached the swamp. I climbed a tree and came down with some cashews.

    B'ao: We could roast these. Any luck fishing?

    Ariel: Yeah. If we were fishing for bugs.

    B'ao: Okay, we're having roast nuts. Let's set up camp-

    I whirled around suddenly, drew my Pudao and slashed. A vine near me was cut in two. Chase commented sarcastically.

    Chase: Nice listening skills. that vine was about to kill you.

    I threw my Pudao. It whizzed by him, slicing through a vine that was going for his neck.

    B'ao: The vines are attacking us.

    Chase: That's impossible.

    B'ao: then look behind you.

    Everyone turned to see vines coming together a great arm formed and grabbed Silo, dragging him away. I turned and shot flames at another arm that was behind me. My first instinct was to protect Jasmine. I ran to her side weaponless. We fought against the vines, confused and frightened, but we were fighting a pointless battle. a wall of vines formed and dragged each of us in different directions. I burned through the vine at my ankle and ran to pic Jasmine up. I dove and took her hand, lifting her up, I had to run to keep up. I was aiming a fireball at the vine around her waist but didn't see the low-hanging tree branch. Before my world went dark, my thoughts were on Rieji.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    A lot of my old work... kind of sucked.

    See the point to doing reruns with old posts is that they haven't been published or even finalised. You can take the old posts and make them better(grammer/ spelling/ plot points/ For TLG: CHARACTER'S NAME/ ENTIRE STORY)

    Na just kidding Pervy Sage
