You are Maro of Jin, whispered as 'Maro of the Lightning".

It has been two days since you left your school in disguise as a mendicant monk. It has been one night since you have arrived at the house of white tiles in the city of Shen Jiao. It has been the better part of a day since you fought off thugs working for the crime boss Lao Len and in the spirit of the request your master Ren Zhao, it has been the better part of a day since you told one to deliver a message to Lao Len, that Maro of the Lightning will strike her organization down.

It has been 10 hours since you were told that Lao Len has your sister Pan, through the proxy of Flame-Lily, while investigating the corruption present in the house of White Tiles.

You have decided that you will cast down the crime syndicate of Lao Len and that you must rescue Pan at all costs, but you are at an impasse as to how to proceed. You know that Lao Len has likely informed her whole network of thugs and informants to keep an eye out for you with the description that was likely provided to her by the men you throttled in the market for harassing a farmer. You also know through inference that the master of the House of White Tiles (a man named Zhao Peng you have later learned) has enough ties to Lao Lens organization that you could probably find out the things you need to know from him.

It is the morning after the tea ceremony with the graceful Flame-Lily, a skilled conversationalist (though somewhat naive) and an artisan of tea-ceremonies - she did not lie when she said she was the houses best tea ceremony girl.

Your possessions currently include : An unnamed guinneapigbat with a piece of cloth around its stomach, 10 flame koku (that would conflict with your disguise as a monk if anyone were to see them), 15lbs of jin tea leaves (you gave 5lbs to Flame-Lily), a Khakkara staff that used to belong to your mentor, a teapot that used to belong to your mentor, a letter from home penned by your tutor Rokan with a sketch of your family also done by Rokan and a self sketch done by rokan. And of course the clothes on your back.

If our cover gets blown, people will get curious.

They'll start asking questions, and we'll get caught.
>>
>>25040969
Officially it's not a brothel, it's an 'entertainment house' much like geisha houses were, if you played your cards right you could get laid, but that's not an 'offered' service - offered services include tea ceremonies, singing, dancing, conversation, a place to stay the night and food.

The house policy about 'strange guests dressed as monks but obviously not' is 'keep our mouths shut'... but the house is corrupt, so you cant say what would happen. Flame-Lily seems to trust you though and would keep quiet if asked to do something like get one of your koku changed down into smaller amounts, or buy some different clothes for you.
>>
>>25041012
Our cover is already kinda messed up in this town, what with us beating up some schmucks in the middle of town and giving our name, and I truly doubt that Flame-Lily is planning on going around spreading word about us.

We're already staying at a brothel and Flame-Lily isn't going to say anything, sleeping with her or not sleeping with her would not change any possible harm to our rep, so we may as well.

A koku is an amount equivalent to a persons worth of rice for a year, they're gold. If broken down into silver it would be enough for a moderate sized pouch.

Your families holdings in Jin were worth something like 250 000 koku - mostly because of the tea production. Rokan made sure you had a firm understanding of the value of your properties.
>>
>>25041192

So we've basically got $100 or so?

As you decide to investigate around the house of White Tiles for leads on Lao Len a black-and-yellow clad serving man of the house delivers a morning meal to you.

>>25041499
You ask the serving-man to have one of the houses newer girls brought to you. He nods quickly and informs you that he will bring you Snow-Lotus.

The Guinneapigbat you seemingly adopted a few days ago sniffs around the plate of food until it finds some fruit which it digs into with a gusto.

A few minutes pass and a blue eyed and dark skinned girl steps into the room.

"My name is Snow-Lotus, sir... Would you have me sing for you first, or would you have me dance... I am learning poetry and I could recite some of that too if it would please you?"

Zhao Peng.

Lets get to the heart of the matter.

No. You'll have more time to speak with her.
>>

Okay. Then let's start off with some Poetry.

And if she fucks up we'll just politely tell her it's alright and she should keep reciting it.

Charm her a bit and get her to like us before asking about the House and Lady Lao.
>>
>>25041749
Eh, what the hell? Backing this.

We charm her, then we try to get some information.

" White trees and mountains€”
Plum blossoms and winter snow
in a single gaze" Snow-Lotus finishes, and gives you a challenging glare.

You immediately recognize these words as belonging to the water tribe sage Tak Ool... they were reportedly his death poem and a lament about being unable to return home to die. You know that this poem would normally be considered in *extremely* poor taste, and that this girl would be risking a beating later if this was said in the presence of one of the other girls.

"I am not sure what would ever make you think to utter that in the presence of a guest, Snow-Lotus... but it so happens that I am incredibly fond of that poem"

You exchange a few more poems with her, and most of her material seems to be chosen with the intent of reminding you that she is a stranger here and longs for home. She's very good at her recitation... but her material seems to be what gets her in trouble.

(But less condescendingly. I didn't mean to come off like that in the example)
>>
>>25041983
Water Tribe poems.

>>25042057
"The poems you recite for me often get you in trouble with Zhao Peng, don't they", you state calmly and recieve a small nod of the head from her.

You take two cups from the platter that was brought to you with breakfast, and with the boiled water brought in, you make and pour some tea with your personal stock of leaves, for both yourself and Snow-Lotus. Snow-Lotus is beside herself, you have seriously breached protocol by pouring for her.

"Drink, and tell me about your name... It does not sound like any water tribe name I have ever read about" you hand her a cup.

"... I hate this name" she says as she begins to tremble.

"Is it not your given name?"

You see tears forming in the corner of her eyes, it seems this subject is upsetting her.

Hold one of her hands with both of ours, try to look reassuring.

"I am not going to hurt you, in fact I want to help you. But I can't help you if you don't help me.

If you can't say anything, if you're too scared then all you have to do is nod and shake your head while I ask you some yes or no questions. Do you understand?

Can you do that for me? Can you be strong for me? Strong enough to help you and all the other girls that have been taken. Please."

>>25042216
"Please, drink - it will calm you... the tea has been made in the proscribed manner according to methods handed down for the last hundred years" you make a few placating motions, and finally convince her to have her tea.

"Snow-Lotus is not my name, it was given to me when I was sold here two years ago... Zhao Peng renames every girl that comes into the house. My name is Lan Se Shui"

"I suspected that he did as much... I would have you know that I think what he is doing is wrong, and I intend to stop it... but I need a bit of help"

[x]Ask about Zhao Peng

Our master told us to "Confront Evil" and then he sent us here.

We have a working girl who has been here for TWO YEARS and is deeply dissatisfied with her position in life.

Oh and Lao Ling has our sister.

I think our master sent us here to turn over some rocks so that the local officials could see what crawls out.
>>
>>25042486
>>25042499
"... How bad is it Lan Se?" You ask with concern.
"For the girls who fall in line, not so bad at all, for the girls who act out? He beats them mercilessly, there is a room deep in the complex where the sounds cannot get out. I have been fortunate in that most of what I do flies over the heads of its recipients" she states in a detached matter-of-fact manner.
"What is the worse that's happened?"
"One girl just a bit newer than me said something terribly wrong to a patron one night... Zhao Peng was furious, with her and dragged her off to that room, we never saw her again".

"Are you suggesting that he beat her to death?" Fire sparks in your eyes, but fortunately Lan Se fails to notice it.

"I think that may be what happened..." the guinneapigbat has crawled over to Lan se lap and is happily presenting its stomach to be rubbed, it seems to cheer her up a bit.

"Lao Len is responsible for every agony I ever suffered here. She sold me into this house, she runs the opium cartels in the city and to smaller areas..."
"Where does she operate out of in the city?"
"She has most of her operation by the docks, where she can purchase 'things'" the word drips with acid "from the occasional pirate... if you're for some reason thinking about attacking her you'll need someone to watch your back". She states earnestly

"And you would know one of these people?"
"No, but there are usually former soldiers in the town for hire"

"A prudent plan. Thank you Lan Se... I will think on things and speak with you again later."

Bowing Snow-Lily (as you have to refer to her where others can overhear) leaves the room looking like she can't believe what has happened... you hear her whisper "Be careful" before she leaves completely.

If they're someone we can buy with money than I'm pretty sure Lao Len can offer more, and we'd have to exchange the money through an intermediary because a monk going to a merchant house to exchange funds is kinda suspicious.

Also see if she knows of a place where people who've pissed off Lao Len hang out.

First, we need two disguises. Something like Zuko's blue ghost outfit.

I suggest sonmething dragon themed, we'll also need a new staff or polearm for the disguise.

Next we'll need a nobleman's clothes. That way we can walk around town and spend money.

Finally we can accompany Flame-Lily around town, have her turn our Koku into silver, buy our clothes for us, change somewhere, and escort her back to The House of White Tiles before finding people that are royally pissed with Lao Len.

The local guards might be a good place to stop.

Gathering up your staff and the guinneapigbat you grab a single koku out of the pouch your master gave you. You decide to leave everything else at the inn temporarily.

As you exit the room you track down a serving man and ask him to bring flame-lily to you, he quickly complies.

"Master Maro... what can I do for you?"
"I would like you to come shopping with me" she beams with the biggest bubbly smile and begins clap happily almost immediately - it seems she's quick to leap to conclusions "I am a monk and I am not supposed to handle money or purchase things... but I can get around that technicality if I have someone else handle it for me" you say as you hand her a single koku... and she goes from exuberant happiness to wide-eyed astonishment.

"I didn't know you were so rich Master Maro... I think we could get me a portable tea set with just a portion of this... oh and so many fine clothes and tea's too!". She's almost spinning in circles as she imagines the things she can buy with your money.

"Excuse me. Flame-lily, you're supposed to be helping *me* shop, not the other way around" she deflates somewhat visibly as you say this.

"... Oh. Right... I guess we need to go to the moneychangers first."

She quickly collects her things and you set off to the nearest moneychanger without effort... It's clear flame-lily is no expert with money matters, but you don't get ripped off too badly with the exchange. You now have a pouch of 250 silver bu. Flame-lily is insisting that you buy some fried foods for her.

Fried Food, if only to keep her from asking too many questions.

Then we hit a tailor, buy some high class clothes.

Then we hit a blacksmith, pic related, make sure we have a mask to hid our identity and have a spear or polearm of some sort made.

From there we take her back to the house and search for disgruntled soldiers.

"Fine, we'll get you some fried foods, but you'll need to break down a few more of these silver first". You sigh.

"Yay! thank you so much maro! no one ever treats me like this! only a few girls get special treatment!" Flame-Lilly scurries back to the money changer and quickly gets 10 silver bu changed into 70 copper zenni.

Flame-Lily quickly locates (quite a few) things she'd like to try and manages to pick them all up without incident, while you scan the crowd.

Which is when you see a bolt of fire hurtling straight towards you.

You leap into a stance you've practiced many years, with a quick movement that interposes your hand with the bolt of fire you draw in its heat and then negate it, exhaling steam from your nostrils.

You cant say that you didn't expect lao len to send retribution, you just didn't think it would be quite this fast. You see the man who shot the bolt of fire at you, and two others in similar clothes beside him. People are clearing out of the streets quickly, and flame-lily has scurried off to the side in apparent shock at what you did.

Quickly growing frustrated you decide to throw your weapon at the earthbender, you avoid a few spikes of earth he shoots up at you as you take a few steps forward and throw the staff like a spear.

The earthbender barely catches it in time with two hastily spun pincers of rock and dirt.

"Hahahahaha, you've disarmed yourself you fool, I don't know how you ever hope to beat me with firebending, especially not without your weapon", he takes a few steps forward and grabs your staff (still stuck between the pincers).

"Did you hear the haiku that was delivered to Lao Len?" you snarl.

"Yes, you call yourself 'Maro of the Lightning', you don't seem so fast to me" he sneers
"That's not why I'm called Maro of the lightning"

One of the first things you were taught at the temple of centered flame was how your bending can heat and cool metal... in an extrapolation of the principle, you somehow know that your lightning can be used on metal.

Taking the same stance and slow practiced movements you made when you traded lightning with the sky, you gather energy with flowing movement.

"What the hell do you think you're doing firebender?"

You ignore the earthbender, you've gathered enough energy, you touch your left and right hands together and step forward with your right leg, your right arm thrusts forward and there is nothing but blinding white lightning.

The earthbender tries to shield himself, but he's still holding onto the staff, and you were aiming at the staff not him. Lightning travels up his arm and through his whole body, he drops smoking, you don't think he's alive anymore.

You step forward and retrieve your staff. What was once a street of people selling food is completely vacated, and honestly it looks like a warzone, you extinguish the remaining fires, drawing their heat in and exhaling steam and smoke out.

The guinneapigbat returns to your shoulder and flame-lily runs up and asks "What the hell was that, I mean i didn't even know you were a firebender... but that was something else".

Before you can answer a woman wielding a guan-dao walks around the corner and scowls at you, it seems she's upset over something, but it doesn't look she'll attack.

[ ] ask what her problem is
[ ] ignore her and speak with flame-lily

"Excuse me, miss, what seems to be the problem here" You ask cautiously.

"Your little street war is my problem!" she states furiously.

"What do you mean?" You state completely bewildered.
"I MEAN I WAS TRYING TO BUY SOME FOOD FROM ONE OF THE VENDORS HERE AND AS SOON AS YOUR FIRE STARTED FLYING THE DAMN MERCHANT RAN OFF WITH MY SILVER BEFORE I GOT ANY FOOD" She rants at you.

"What?"

"THE MAN RAN OFF WITH MY MONEY, I DON'T HAVE ENOUGH TO BUY ANY MORE FOOD!" she begins to break down in tears after she screams this "I'm between jobs and I don't have any more money and I wont work for criminals so I'm completely out of luck here... YOU NEED TO BUY ME MORE FOOD"

Tell her it was not OUR street war, we were jumped. If she would like to get attacked by someone and not defend herself, and the civilians nearby, for the sake of one person not being robbe, that's her fault. Drop the copper on the ground infront of her and walk away.

Try to get her to calm down. Offer to buy her dinner, and chat her up, get to know her a little bit while she eats.

She's obviously an attractive girl and there are tea houses that need hostesses and menial labor positions for people who don't mind getting their hands dirty.

Why can't she get a job cleaning clothes or washing dishes like a lot of other girls?

Before you can answer flame-lily pipes up with "well... we were shopping anyways and we were gunna get some more food anyways because Maro promised me a good meal anyways". She's fabricating the tale about more food completely...

Flame Lily and the girl with the Guan Dao conspire together quickly and drag you off to what you presume to be one of the more expensive restaurants in the city amongst the ones that will serve a monk, a warrior and a courtesan.

You're quickly seated and the woman with the glaive quickly orders quite a few things while flame-lily orders some tea and a few dishes. You order nothing because you know Flame-lily will end up offering you something to allow you to keep your disguise up

"Why are you unemployed?"
"Mmmph, bender got my last job, *chomp* *smack*, No one seems to think girls are good fighters, everyone hiring benders instead"

Flame-lily interjects with "Why don't you cook? Or sing? Or dance?"

"You're right, I'm not sure I believe you... why is learning how to fight important for you anyways"

"... I'm not good at anything else".

"Fine, I have a proposition for you - I made a promise similar to your oath with a fictional creature, but I swore mine to my master. I swore to confront evil wherever I met it, and it just so happens I've found a lot of it in this town. I'll need someone to watch my back when I fight and if you can Flame-Lily will pay you"

Need to finish our shoppings tomorrow and plan an assault on lao len's crime syndicate.

So, what should we do after we kill Lao Len? It seems like she was kind of the crime boss of the city, so if we want evil gone we'll either have to look elsewhere or finish mopping up here, which our newly hired fighter could do.

>>25046647
Honestly, the way I see it is that water and firebenders are situationally powerful (full moon for water, celestial movements for fire), whereas earth and airbenders are generally pretty consistent in their power.

Sozins comet type occurence? Firebenders burn cities by themselves if they're good.

Full moon? Ha ha time for bloodbending, tsunamis and other crazy stuff.
>>
>>25046683
We do not need throwing knives, we need throwing staves. Like javelins, but without the pointy bit.
>>
>>25046686
Honestly, I haven't watched the shows much, but it seems like Firebenders aren't just situationally powerful, but consistent along with that.
>>
>>25046710
Firebenders have two major weaknesses - they cannot defend well against non-firebending forms and solar eclipses take out their power completely
>>
>>25046724
Do eclipses effect lightning?

>>25046683

I second this for next thread.

>>25046710
Firebenders have the additional strength of being an insubstantial bender. They don't need a source.

Airbender- Insubstantial - consistent power
Earthbender- Substantial - consistent power
Waterbender- Substantial -Fluctuating power
Firebender- Insubstantial - Fluctuating Power

Interesting power, eh?

>>25046738
Yes. Lightning is just higher Firebending.

Air benders still can't bend air in space, and firebenders can't set things ablaze, right? Not that it matters, considering there isn't a space program

Firebenders are energy controllers mostly, they can excite or calm particles (which creates fire, or lightning). Airbenders are the least well covered and I'll probably mostly avoid them until season 2 of korra comes out where it hopefully does more airbending stuff

Oh. that makes sense. What's stopping them from becoming ice benders by calming the shit out of particles?
>>
>>25046817
Because even if they could, they can only create ice, but not manipulate it.

Inability to focus on it mostly I'd say - big mental block.

That's a promise in my book.

After all, it's still May.

I've still got some notes for tomorrow I think, I might run when I wake up.
