ooc - I suppose I'll start then
bic - "Welcome to the city of Ba Sing Se!" said a lady as I got off the train. She was dressed in a rob that was pale green, with dark green lining at the bottom, on the collar, and the wrists. She had black hair which was done in a bun. I adjust my bag over my shoulder, before smiling and giving a bow, showing my respect. "Thank you," I say before I leave the city station. As I walk out of the building, I noticed how big the city really was, and how proud the city was. It was beautiful. I walk down the stairs to see people bustling about, going to and from places. Most people were in groups and seemed to know where they were going.
"Beautiful city.... I'm bound to get lost," I sigh to myself. I turn my head to see a group of two girls, about my age, walking towards then past me. They were giggling about something, but I stop them. "Good morning ladies," I smile, bowing to them. "My name is Kuruk, and I'm from the Northern Water tribe." The girls "oh" is fake surprise, smiling at me. I chuckle nervously and throw and hand behind my head, scratching the back. "I was wondering if you could direct me towards the high end part of town. I'm looking for a tournament-"
"The Nations Tournament?" one of the girls asks. "Yes," I reply, surprised that they knew of the tournament. "You know of it?"
"Oh yes, it's big talk in the city. And there are a lot people who have signed up. It starts tomorrow. You in it?" I nod. "Well... Kuruk. My friend and I will be rooting for you. What your looking for is straight up ahead. You won't miss it," she smiles, bowing and begins to walk away. She stops close to me to speak. "My name is Li, by the way," she giggles as I blush, then walks away with her friend. I turn to watch them, hands at my side. "What a welcome to the city," I laugh to myself as I head off to sign in for the tournament.
