002 - [Video OTA]

[Aang takes a slow measured breath before speaking.]

Hi. I'm Aang. I don't know if we've met yet, but...I'm hoping we do.

[He manages a small, hopeful smile that lasts for a fraction of a second. If you blink, you might miss it.]

Chances are good though, that you know some of my friends. General Iroh, Sokka, and Katara. They know a lot more people than I do, and so I want to make sure that all of them know that they went home.

[This is a lie. Aang doesn't know that they actually went home, but he's choosing to believe in the reality that they did. Because the thought of any of them being stuck in the void for who knows how long is...no. They're home. They're just home.]

Anyway, I know I'm not much of a substitute, seeing as I'm no where near as wise as Iroh, or mechanically inclined like Sokka, and I can't heal like Katara, but...I'm still an Avatar and I'd like to help.

So if there's anything that they were doing that you'd still need help with? Or that just needs doing? I'd love to try.

[Wow this kid sounds really down, but Yuri can't blame him if all his friends went home.]

Hey, I know Katara, she helped me out when I got here. Sorry to hear she's gone.

If you're looking for something to do, Brave Vesperia could use some more hands. I don't know what an Avatar is but we're in the business of helping people too.

[Video...ongoing.]

[Truth be told, he has had better days. Also worse ones. In fact, it's the latter that have kept him making this announcement sooner.]

Yeah...me too.

[That is the voice of a love-sick 14 year-old feeling the pang of love-lost yet again.]

The Avatar is the one person who can bend all four elements, and who's tasked with keeping the world in balance. Who's Brave Vesperia?

[wolfstrike]

[Yuri could hear it in his voice and it brought a wince of sympathy.]

Sounds like a really big job for one kid.

Brave Vesperia is a guild, and we do jobs for people. It's a way to get a little pay and help others at the same time.

[12goingon113]

It is, which is why I'm really glad I have good friends to help me.

[Insert the reprisal of the small, hopeful smile here.]

I don't know about accepting payment for helping people, I'm a Monk. But...I'd still help when I could.

[wolfstrike]

It's not to get rich or anything but everyone's gotta eat.

[Yuri would be more than happy to do things for free if it wasn't for that, but sometimes he still did anyway.]

It's a good way to make friends too, especially with the Kedan. So feel free to tag along sometime.

[12goingon113]

Really? I'd...I'd like that. Um, where do the Brave Vesperia meet?

[wolfstrike]

[Uh... where do they meet? Good question. Yuri didn't exactly organize meetings or anything. If they had a job they just met at the site usually. Maaaybe that should change. Right now he'll just make something up.]

In the hotel lobby.

[His smile broadens.]

I'll be there!
