because the ship crash wasn't exciting enough [video]

[theboywhodied]

[Lights on Cedric sitting in his room, twirling his wand in his hand. It's decorated in glittering yellow and black, flashing bright because a bored wizard needs to amuse himself somehow.]

That was a remarkably quick repair job on the housing building. I do wish I would've been allowed to help more, but I'm glad it's done. Having a space of my own is nice.

But is anyone else bothered by how...idle life is around here, for lack of a better term? Oh, sure, there's action sometimes, but I personally haven't seen any in ages. It feels as though I've been sitting on the sidelines of someone else's life, watching all the excitement pass me by. All my life, I thought I was going to be taming dragons or breaking dangerous spells or dueling other wizards when I grew up. Instead, the worst that's happened to me is that I was stuck as a unicorn for a week a while ago.

[He ruffles his hair awkwardly, still embarrassed by that memory.]

I need to be accomplishing something with my life, really making it count, and I'm just not getting there. So if you'd like to combine your abilities with magic to make a nice change to this place, or you have some exciting task that a wizard would be qualified to help with, please let me know? I have all day, except for the afternoons when I work at Saori's tea shop. It might not be the most exciting job, but it's nice to unwind sometimes.

How do you feel about sports?

[theboywhodied]

I love them. There's even one I play when I can get the virtual simulator thing to work.

Did you have something in mind?

GREAT! See, I'm thinking about trying to put together some probending teams here. It's a sport that involves manipulating earth, fire, and water, and it is THE MOST AWESOME THING EVER. Interested?

[theboywhodied]

[He likes this. He leans forward, interested.]

I know I can handle fire and water. Earth, probably not so much. Could I see it?

[pabulously]

Oh don't worry! You only have to do one at a time. Basically you've got two teams of three people, and the goal is to knock the other team off the ring before the time runs out.

That's a very, very simplified explanation, of course, but it gets the idea across. I think. Does it?

[theboywhodied]

Yes, it does.

I think I'm better with water spells. What sort do you do?

[pabulously]

Excellent. I'm an earthbender. Now we just need another earthbender and two firebenders and we've got two teams!

[theboywhodied]

So the teams bend together?

[pabulously]

Nah, it's one team against the other. Each team tries to knock the other team off the ring, JUST using their bending.

Sorry, I know I'm not explaining it well. My brother's better at the whole rules part.

[theboywhodied]

Got it. I think I'd have to see it in action, though.

[pabulously]

That can be arranged! I think. I'll be in touch.

I'm Bolin, by the way.

[theboywhodied]

My name displayed on the post, right?

I'm Cedric if it didn't, nice to meet you.

[pabulously]

Did it? I still don't really know how to use these things.

[theboywhodied]

I think it did. Don't worry, I'm still new to this stuff too.

[pabulously]

Cool. Well, Cedric, when I get the teams together, I'll let you know!
