(I just felt like starting something new, anyone want to join?)
Sonea sat on a branch leaning back againts the tree trunk. A small mountain stream gurgles a few feet away. The mountains were a little chilly, even in spring. Few came here to disturb the peace, and she was happy, relaxed and listening to the birdsong as she twisted a handfull of dirt into different shapes. It followed her finger and hung in the air like some strange writing.

{{I"ll join up. I'm gonna use a new character though. The old ones bore me a bit. }}
Ruri smiled as she walked along the moutain stream. She's left Ba Sing Se with her father for bussiness then just jumped of the carriage. Sure, he's be very pissed off at her when she returned but she had all her pass port papers and some moeny so he'd get over it.
"Man! This is so much prettier than that nasty city." She said smiling. Ruri looked extremely out of place. Her long elegant dress and brown hair was put up in a neat bun held together with chop sticks. Two round green tassles were on the end of the golden colored sticks. She was extremly sophistacted looking for that tiny peaceful moutain scene.

"It is rather nice isn't it?" Sonea asked ruefully taking in the newcomers apperance. "Although you do look like you belong to the city rather than here." She let the dirt stay hovering in the air, a sentence in another language of smooth flowing script, and swung down to a stone on the edge of the stream.

Smiling and walking towards the girl, she nodded. "Normally I am. I live in Ba Sing Se. The upper class ring though I'm only there once in a blue moon." She said laughing. "Li said that I don't blong in the lower ring either but I personally perfer it." Sitting down on the ground near the stone, her long green dress speard out around her. She looked abit like a green flower in a way. "I'm Ruri, Ruri Mamorujiro of Ba Sing Se."

((I guess I'll join too))
Sen, looked down at the two strangers from up high in the tree tops. The new leaves on the old trees had just awaked and could not provide as much cover for her. Sen had decided to run away from Ba Sing Se. She wanted to see her birth place, the Fire Nation. Ba Sing Se was a dirty city now and made the forests beyond the wall look even more appealing to her. She jump and landed on her feet. Her boots were muddy and a few strans of hair releashed themselves from her bun. To elagant chopsticks protruded from her hair bun.
"Hello, I'm Sen." She said with her hand offered.

"I don't really belong anywhere either, that's why I'm out here in the middle of nowhere. I'm Sonea, Sonea of no place in particular. It is nice to meet you Ruri. It seems the wilderness suits us both."
Sonea was a wanderer. She didn't remember what nation she had been born to, and she had been raised by parents that were also wanderers by nature. They had never told her what nation they were, and she didn't really care. When she got old enough she had gone off to wander on her own. Nature had it's own secret beauty to her.
"Hello Sen." She took the offered hand.

"Well hello!" Ruri said smiling. "I'm Ruri, Ruri Momorujiro of Ba Sing Se." She said shaking Sen's offerend hand then bowing softly.
'wow, this will be a great story. I meet nice people behind the walls.' she thought smiling.
"It is a shame you don't belong anywhere Sonea. I'm sure you'll find your place soon." She replied smiling. Everything had a place.

((Greetings! -bows cheerfully- )) The sound of a flute could be heard in the distance and a woman sat on a rock in the middle of a river, playing said instrument. Her green hair seemed to float around her as she sat there, eyes closed.
The earth around her seemed to sing to her song, the grass rustling, the rush of the brook, and the soft dripping of water in a cave somewhere not so far away. One who didn't reckognise her, might think she was the goddess of the woods, but she was simply an Earth Bender.((Flute's Song: www.filelodge.com/files/hdd2/6420/music/instrum/scottishmoors-the_mermaids_tears.mp3 )) |

( (Hello, peeps! ^.^) )
Kastumiyo didn't even bother to wipe of the sweat pouring down her face which was covered in white make-up, customary of a geisha. Her hair was coming dangerouslly loose out of the bun, wich was held up by a fancy peach blossom hairpin and her gray kimono covered in beautiful golden patterns and flowers had several wet spots at the hem. She had just barely escaped the Ichiriki teahouse, hating the life she had been raised and forced to live. The flute's melody danced in her ears, and it seemed to soothe her rapid breathing. Upon seeing the woman playing the beautiful instrument, she took a sharp intake of breath. Her appearance seemed almost unreal. She seemed so calm. Katsumiyo sighed wistfully and sat down in her place, gazing awefully at the girl.

"Do you hear that? It sounds like a flute." Sen got up and began to walk towards the sweet sound. She wasn't looking where she was going and she triped over one of the dead bodies.
"Oh great. My only outfit has blood on it now. The music, it's coming from the river" Sen got up quickly and motioned them to follow her.

"Just wash it off." Ruri said before standing up and following her. She had heard some type of music. It was a very sweet sound. Like a song you hear in a dream that seems to ring in your ears for a moment after waking but then fades away only to be heard in your dreams again.
"I wonder who's playing." She said out loud to herself. Her long elegent green dress just barely yet gracefully sweeping across the ground.

Katsumiyo's heart skipped a beat upon seeing Ruri. She was positive she had been assigned with her Onee-san to entertain her father and his friends merely a few weeks ago. She had not spoken to Ruri, but they had exhanged glances. SHe stood up to make herself known, but avoided Ruri's gaze.

Smiling at Katsumiyo, Ruri slid closer to the girl. "You seem to bothered by something. Mind sharing? By the way, my mother is from and lives in the lower ring of Ba Sing Se, so I don't judge. Its just my father who's the rich pig content on making me a lady." She said quietly so only she could hear. If this had anything do with Katsumiyo being a geisha, Ruri would much prefer the girl told her rather then just avoiding her.

"Nothingl I'm sorry." Katsumiyo shyly blushed and fiddled with a piece of grass before turning back to Ruri. "Actually, I think I've met your father. I...entertained him a few weeks ago, and you didn't seem to happy to see me."

Looking away, Ruri's face felling into sadness. "So...that means they really are done then." She said softly. Looking up she tried to smile. "I don't have anything against you Katsumiyo. Its just...the fact that he was in a teahouse means he's.....over my mother. See, along time ago, they were married and in love. My father was a young rich noble man and my mother a lowly maid living in the Lower Ring of the city. It was almost like a fairy tale when they met." She explained sadly. "Everything was fine till I was 12. Then....everything changed. My mother caught him cheating on her with some woman and she ended it. In turn, he threw out and sent her back to the lower ring. I was....the only problem for them. They both loved me so they agreed that I was to live with my father but I could visit my mother when ever I pleased. My mother isn't doing well now, and my father is doing things like that." She finished almost in a whisper.
