♥ 1. Where did you come from? You may not know anyone else on the boat, but you've all got one thing in common; you're headed to Republic City.
♥ 2. It's your first day in Republic City. You might wanna get a job lined up or you'll be living on the streets.
♥ 3. You're the new person in the city. You gotta make some friends, right? Go find someone and strike up a conversation.
♦ 4. Feeling a little crafty? Maybe you could make a quick yuan. Sell information for money or do a little threatening.
♦ 5. Vines. Vines everywhere! They're like the heads of a hydra. What are you going to do about the vines that just invaded your apartment?
♦ 6. Triads, Equalists... thugs in general. Welcome to the aftermath of losing a fight. Are you gonna go find a healer or are you gonna tough it out?
♣ 7. You've got a job. What is it? How are you going to get customers? You better get some soon. More customers equals more money.
♣ 8. You're a bender, right? Then you better practice it. What's that? Oh, a non-bender? You can still find a partner to spar with, right?
♣ 9. It's late. Have a drink at the pub! Get to know one another. Let it all flow freely!
♠ 10. Yeah! You've got a driver's license! Everyone else better watch out...
♠ 11. Entertainment's just rolled on into the city! Watch the ostrich-horses race or the acrobats perform. Or maybe you're one of them!
♠ 12. It's a long line at whatever vendor you're at. Make small talk with nearby civilians or try and haggle the vendor down to a better price.

"Me? Uh, well... If you wanted. I'm hardly a master or anything. I just keep up with it because it's useful." And because it's calming, somehow. Going through all the forms and sequences, it lets his mind drift and affords a sense of peace he rarely finds generally.

"It's got to be better than being self taught," Wan said with a shrug. "I have the basics down, but I don't have a lot of refinement. You don't have a lot of power, but you're lifting multiple pillars of the same size at once. So you've got refinement. It seems a good match. At least for an hour of practice. I can keep looking for a teacher and still try picking something up from you."

"They weren't all the same size..." he points out. True, they were all the same height, but the ones to his right where rickety and liable to fall over if someone breathed on them wrong.

His left hand goes to his right self consciously, gloves rubbing together. Albert shakes his head to clear it and sighs a bit. He may not think he's a good teacher, but he can impart the basics at least. "Alright, what do you know already? It'll be a place to start."

Wan waved his hand dismissively, "Same height is the same thing as same size. At least in one direction."

Then he balled one hand into a fist and hit the other with it as an eager grin blossomed on his face with Albert's agreement, "Great! I know how to pull boulders out of the ground, cut them in half, throw them at things... You know. The basics."

Despite his still present discomfort, Wan's can-do attitude brings an amused smile to his face. "I more meant what forms do you know. Pulling up bedrock is all well and good, but there's more to earthbending than tossing pebbles."
raavashing: (huh: I'm looking in)

"I don't usually toss pebbles," Wan's confidence cut out a bit as he cringed. "That's part of the problem."

Power, basic knowledge, not a lot of fine control.

"But I sort of know the forms? They... uh..." He looked away, just a little embarrassed as he twiddled his thumbs. "They work, but I've found I do better with earth if I'm a little more freeform. I was really hoping for some tips on how to focus and feel the earth."
