RP: Air Test
Characters: Aang, Open
Time/Date: 3:00 PM, October 16
Location: Algul Siento, Roof
Warnings/Rating: None
Summary: Aang goes up to the roof to see exactly how his powers have been modified and to plan an excursion, only to be foiled by the rain.
Status: Open, ongoing

Aang was not one to sit around too long. He took his staff, secured himself a little bit of dirt from outside and proceeded to head directly to the roof of the hotel. The Avatar was not particularly pleased about the situation, but he would make the most of it. He would surely find a way home to Katara soon! This was no worse than fighting the Fire Lord, and he came out on top there. He was, at the moment, distracted, and not particularly paying attention to anyone else who might be up there or who might arrive up on top of the roof at that particular moment.

He made his way over towards the pool and set the little bit of earth down on the ground. This would not be difficult. He already knew he could Airbend still, but he needed to test the others. The young boy, only twelve or thirteen by the looks of him, began walking through his forms, though those were not his most noticable trait at the moment. That typically was the large blue arrow that seemed to be tatooed on his head.

As he stepped through the most basic of Waterbending forms, he concentrated his energy on letting the water of the pool, attempting to guide it back and forth. It was a far cry from how he had used it in the past, but he wanted to start simple. However, the water in the pool did not so much as create one single, solitary wave. "Okay. That means no Waterbending."

Aang abruptly altered his stance, firmly planting his feet and squatting down, his arms held at ninety degree angles as he looked at the pile of earth at his feet. He tried to impose his sheer will on the earth, but it just sat there, getting wetter and wetter as the rain came down. "Hrmph. Toph would laugh at me right now, wouldn't she? Twinkle Toes can't move a stupid pile of dirt."

Aang pulled up a gust of wind and sent the dirt flying off the roof to land on some path somewhere. "Just Firebending left. This rain won't help, but it hasn't stopped me before." He was certainly frustrated enough, and he moved into the more aggressive strikes of a Firebender, trying to blast jets of flame from out of his fists off the edge of the roof. However, all he succeeded in was, in his mind, looking foolish.

"So it's like I've just woken from the iceberg. Wonderful. And it's raining. No flight until this weather clears up. That at least will be useful."

The new place wasn't as tall, but it was longer. There were more rooms in each single-room hall, and the suites and double rooms were a new feature. Not that she was protesting the latter; she rather liked the idea of having a larger bed to share with Balthazar.

Lily was still inventorying the place. She'd settled into a rhythm in the kitchen already, and while it was nice to have dinner back as her meal, she wondered if Lucky would be arriving soon. She hoped that if that was the case they could simply reclaim their former pattern. She was aware that Lucky had taken over breakfast, so would the girl be willing to surrender it?

It was a bit of a moot point at the moment. Simply because nothing had yet happened to destroy the old island didn't mean it wouldn't. She was hoping that if they made it through Sunday without incident that the entire video had just been a big scare tactic.

Pushing open the door to the roof, Lily paused with her eyes closed and tipped her chin back to inhale. The air was wet, heavy, but so very real, and it was simply amazing after four months inside a closed cage with recycled, dry air. She wasn't inclined to feel anything like gratitude toward their captors, but she did appreciate the new cage far more than the old one.

When she opened her eyes, she realized she wasn't alone on the roof. Emerald gaze fell on the boy, and she thought she recognized him from the network posts. "Hello," she called over to him in case he hadn't noticed her arrival. She didn't want to startle him, after all.

There was someone else here. Aang heard the woman speak and turned towards Lily. "Hello there!" The boy's mood brightened quickly as he pushed the thoughts that had been brooding in his head into some corner of his mind. There were new people to meet here, and that at least was something that was fun!

The boy walked quickly towards Lily and offered the woman a bow. "You are Miss Evans, right?" He straightened up from the bow. "From the...network it is called?" That whole network thing was really strange to him. "I am Aang. It is good to meet you face to face." In person, the backs of his hands were visible, and they had the same blue arrow markings on them, and it would appear that the body of the arrows extended up his arms to a casual observer.

"What brings you up to the roof? I did not expect to find anyone else up here today when I realized it was raining. I am afraid the mapping will have to wait a day or so. I do not wish to damage my staff in case the winds pick up too much." Aang shrugged at the end of that statement. "I do not think they will have the materials to repair it if it is damaged too badly here."
