Mission 2

[Normally Xion only uses the communicator to respond to others or keep track of what's going on. Today is a little different though. Despite the hood, it's pretty obvious she's happy about something as she waits to be sure the recording is going properly.]

Ummm...can everyone hear me?

Everyone remembers that Keyhole that showed up in the second district, right? It looks like it opened up another world. I checked it out a little, and it seems safe.

It's called Twilight Town. Some of us might remember it. I know it pretty well if--

[Here she pauses and if considering something, and then speaks a little more hesitantly.]

if anyone wants to know a little more about it.

[Those who know her can probably figure that the hesitance is less from a lack of desire on her part, and more concern at how the offer will be received.]

[OOC: Backdated to shortly after this.]

Oh wow, so we can travel to other worlds now?

[Consider Bolin amazed and fascinated. He looks a bit excited too. To think, before this he'd never really left Republic City city limits and now he'd traveled to the South Pole and then Traverse Town and, wow, who knew what next? Twilight Town apparently.]

I'd love to hear more about it Xion. What can you tell me? Oh! But I guess going there would be a good way to learn too.

[skysmirror]

Yeah, we can. The Keyhole made a door to it, so we can go anytime.

[Xion's pretty excited herself, since out of all the worlds she's been too, when she thinks of "home," this is it.]

Oh! Well, it has some shops and things like Traverse Town; they sell that ice cream I brought to the tea shop the other day. There's tunnels to explore, and the train and tram...The woods are kind of nice, but I don't think going to the old mansion is a good idea.

It's always sunset, but you get used to that pretty quickly. Looking around should be fine; the Nightmares aren't really stronger than they are here.

[Bolin looks excited.] Really? That exists there too? That stuff was good!

[He liked the interesting flavor combination. He focuses on the other stuff Xion is saying though and nods.]

Maybe I'll have to go over and check it out then. Weird how these places only seem to have one time of day though.

[skysmirror]

[Xion smiles back.]

It's my favorite--glad you like it, too.

Most world have different times of day, I think. Traverse Town and Twilight Town are just a little different.

[buymedumplings]

You never really think about salty and sweet going well together but it totally works.

[nods.]

I never thought I'd get to see other worlds...let alone worlds that have such weird hours. At least if Mako ends up here I can take him to a place where his fire bending will work.

[skysmirror]

Maybe it's the way they combine it--just enough of each.

Staying on one world all the time would be weird to me. You think fire bending wouldn't work here in Traverse Town?

[She'd never seen Axel's abilities with fire limited, but bending wasn't magic...]

[buymedumplings]

I don't know. There isn't a sun here and fire-bending is tied to the sun, just like water bending is tied to the moon. Fire-benders CAN use their bending at night, but it's usually a little weaker than it is during the day and...well there isn't a sun that I've seen here so who knows.

[He shrugs. He's an earth bender after all so while he does have a brother who is of another element it doesn't mean he knows EVERYTHING.]

[skysmirror]

I see. If he needs the sun for...bending, then, yeah, he might have trouble with it in Traverse Town.

[It makes sense enough to Xion. She's pretty used to accepting things that others might not]

[buymedumplings]

I guess we won't know until he finds his way here. And now that we have Twilight Town he can always go there.
