nine whirlwinds. JOINT WITH AANG, VIDEO + ACTION.
[ action; locked to aang; ]
[The 2nd of April marked not only the homecoming of the draftees - well, all right that had been yesterday - but the end of something Ikki had been waiting on for months and months. The completion of the Airbending Gates she’d asked Hiccup to make when he asked people to give him projects in July of last year. He’d stopped when she left, and then he’d had his leg changed to automail, and...well, suffice it to say there were plenty of reasons it had taken this long.
It was a bit late for a Christmas gift, and a bit early a birthday present, but Ikki wasn’t about to wait any longer for revealing the ultimate surprise to her grandfather. So she’d suffered through school (yes, suffered, bouncing in her seat and waiting for the morning classes to be through so they could be released into the afternoon freedom) and instantly accosted her grandfather after, which...wasn’t hard, admittedly, since walking home together was sort of a forgone conclusion.
Ikki latched herself onto Aang’s arm, and started dragging him in the direction of Hiccup’s project. ] Grandpa! I have a SURPRISE for you!
[ video; ]
[ Hey, Luceti! Here is a cheerful airbender. Specifically here is the smaller cheerful airbender, since differentiation is needed. Ikki’s beaming widely, and is clearly excited about something or another - and of course she can’t hold it in for long. ] Heeeeeeeey everyone! This is Ikki, and I have the BEST news! Hiccup finished a project for me, and that is...this! [ She’s swinging the journal around to show everyone the airbending gates. Ikki will hold the journal there for a while, to give a good look, before turning it back around. ]
These are airbending gates! I asked Hiccup to make them for grandpa. They’re a training tool, and they’re my favorite training tool! They’re super fun! Annnnd because they’re super fun - or just ‘cause people ask me about airbending sometimes, and it’s easier to show than tell - other people are definitely allowed to use them! You need airbending or air magic to get ‘em going properly, but anyone can try to make it through them. It takes quick feet and skill and trusting yourself!!
Oh, I didn’t explain. By "making it through" I mean this! Graaaaaandpa!
[And Aang pops up with one of the brightest grins on his face.] The air gates are the most fun thing ever! Well, at least next to air-ball. But everyone should try it! Now watch this!
[He sends a light breeze at the Gates to get them moving and starts going through them in the background of the video while Ikki continues to talk.]
See? You can’t touch any of the gates when you go through, and if you don’t follow the current, you’ll get knocked straight out! Grandpa’s obviously not gonna show that part ‘cause he’s a MASTER, but! We’re probably gonna be here all day, and if any of you wanna try, we can set them off for you. Soooooo anyone who wants to try can come over! They’re not located toooo far from our house. Or if you just wanna see them, you can come over too.
Oh! But you CAN’T ruin them!!!! If you burn them down or something I’ll be REALLY angry!!!! They’re important air nomad treasures! [ Not that she’s naming any names KORRA. And with that she’ll end her little PSA. Video replies may come from either of them. ]
[ action; open to all; ]
[ And true to their word, the airbenders of Luceti can be found at the airbending gates, taking turns going through them - or setting them spinning for anyone who wants to give it a go themselves. Or just talking to anyone drawn in by the spectacle. Talk to Aang while Ikki takes a turn, Ikki when Aang’s going through, or both of them at the same time as they break or discuss the last run-through. Tags with both of them will go You > Ikki > Aang. ]
