‹9› » the quad

[As he's in the running for Homecoming Prince and Damian told him to start campaigning, Aang is standing in the middle of the quad with a box of fresh-baked cookies. He's introducing himself to everyone who gets close enough and anyone with the patience to hear him out gets a cookie and his undying gratitude.]

Hey there! As you may or may not know, I was nominated for Homecoming Prince...

What? [A beat, then she winces] Sorry, I, uh, speak two languages. That was in Al Bhed.

Oh. [It takes a second to process, then he smiles.] So what'd you say?

[identity profile] greeneyedmecha.livejournal.com 2011-07-13 07:50 pm (UTC)(link)
'This place is weird'. Which...um, yeah.

[He laughs.] Don't worry, you'll get used to it.

That's what everyone says. [She shrugs] So, why do you have an arrow on your head?

[identity profile] monkingaround.livejournal.com 2011-07-14 02:47 am (UTC)(link)
It's usually true.

[His eyes roll up as he tries to glance at his head.] Oh, that? It's the sign of... [Reveal his status as an airbender or no? Well, she's not a native, so.] ...my people, from back home.

Is it, like, something you're born with or a tattoo?

[identity profile] monkingaround.livejournal.com 2011-07-14 02:51 am (UTC)(link)
They're tattoos. I have them on my arms and legs, too. See? [Since his arms are covered with the school uniform, he holds out his hands so she can see the arrows on the backs of them.]

[Oh, that's kinda cool]

You don't look old enough to have so many tattoos, though. Uh, no offense.

[identity profile] monkingaround.livejournal.com 2011-07-14 04:23 am (UTC)(link)
Well, I did get them early. But only by a few years. [He doesn't get the concept of being old enough for tattoos.]

[identity profile] greeneyedmecha.livejournal.com 2011-07-14 04:24 am (UTC)(link)
...How old do you have to be to get tattoos where you're from?

in which I go off of vague Word of God info

[identity profile] monkingaround.livejournal.com 2011-07-14 04:45 am (UTC)(link)
There isn't exactly a set age. Just something you have to do.

like nine/tenths of the ATLA fandom is Word of God, man

And they'll give 'em to anyone who does this thing? Even if they're really young? Doesn't it hurt?

the horror of playing Aang without being in the fandom

[identity profile] monkingaround.livejournal.com 2011-07-14 05:01 am (UTC)(link)
Pretty much. It hurt, but it's an honor, so it was worth it.

I don't want to think about that

[identity profile] greeneyedmecha.livejournal.com 2011-07-14 05:05 am (UTC)(link)
...honor? Wow, back home, tattoos are just...some thing people get. Nothing really honorable about them...

I try not to

That's how it is for some people in my world. I guess it depends on the person.

[identity profile] greeneyedmecha.livejournal.com 2011-07-14 06:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Huh. Oh, I'm Rikku, by the way.

[identity profile] monkingaround.livejournal.com 2011-07-15 09:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Nice to meet you, Rikku. [He grins.]
