[Outside, about a hundred feet from the duck pond, there now stands a small area covered in pillars of rock standing very close together. They range from three to ten feet high with the tops wide enough to hold a single, upright person.

And speaking of upright people-- Korra's there in the middle of it, twirling and jumping from rock to rock, her legs and arms a blur of motion. The only thing they leave in their wake is a bright flash of fire that quickly fizzles out due to lack of energy as she moves quickly from one form to another. Quick flashes of light of varying intensities is really the only way to describe the sight.

Given another few minutes of this, she ends with a final, albeit large, blast of fire from her high kick and jumps off the pilar on to the ground below. The duck pond is her goal, and once she's there, Korra plops down at the egde. With a flick of her wrist, a stream of water comes out and hangs above her, drizzling its contents over her head and on to the journal she's brought with her.]

Man, that was great! It's good to finally get a workout in without having to watch where I step. Those weird machines in the gym are too complicated. Whatever happened to exercise without the bells and whistles?

[She heaves a loud, happy sigh as she water flow ends.]

But as nice as that was, there's something lacking, probably a partner. Katara's great for waterbending with, but fire and earth are still solo work. Nothing wrong, but... it helps to have someone, I guess.

Anywa-- oh! Hey, there's an idea! Anyone with some weird power want a practice partner? I'm pretty well versed in some things, mostly physical fighting. C'mon, it'll be fun!

((ooc: open journal or in person, backdated to the 10th!))

So you're one of those benders from Katara's world?

[polar]

Hey, you're the guy who wanted to meet Naga, aren't you?

[waterproofed]

Yep, that's me!

[polar]

Percy! I remember. I didn't know you knew Katara.

[waterproofed]

Oh, yeah. She's pretty cool. We have similar water powers.

[He was chilling under his favorite tree by the duck pond, so he got to see all that....]

[Damn. Avatars really are hardcore.]

[Anyway, he'll speak up after she's done with her own journal spiel and by the duck pond]

Heh, wow. That was pretty intense.

[polar]

Hey, thanks. I was overdue for something like that. [She grins over at him.]

[wilder]

Heh, I bet.

I don't even think Genis could pull all that off.

[polar]

Who?

[Spike, like most people probably, has to stop and watch when he leaves the castle to stumble on someone putting on that kind of show. It's not until she's finished and talked to the journal that he recognizes who she is. -- He's starting to think all the people who work at the clinic double as acrobats in their spare time. (At least the women.)

Once she seems settled, he walks up to her, intrigued and in a weirdly good mood all of a sudden.]

You're used to doing a lot of sparring?

[polar]

And fighting! [He catches her as she's standing up from her spot by the pond.]

[gottaknockhard]

[What a coincidence... Well, partially one anyway.]

Must come in handy in the clinic.

[polar]

I dunno. I don't really work there, I just happened to be around when your friend came in.

[i_got_this]

Just weird powers? What about technologically advanced space armor?

[polar]

No. No freaky space armor.

[i_got_this]

[South can't help but scoff at that.] What, are you afraid?

[polar]

I should be asking you that. You're the one hiding in armor.

[exanimatus]

I've got fire, if you're interested.

SCREAM WHY

[polar]

Yeah? How good are you?

AHEH

[exanimatus]

The best. [smug smug smug.] But I could go easy on you.

SOBBING

[polar]

If you're "the best", what's the appeal of catering to us lower levels, then, huh?

[eatsfire]

I definitely ain't gonna say no to some practice.

Dunno what kind of magic or powers you've got, but I've got Fire Magic, and I'm good at physical fighting.

[polar]

Perfect. I'm outside now if you wanna go a few rounds.

[eatsfire]

Alright!

[When he's outside the first thing he notices are those pillars, so he heads on over, spotting a lone person by the pond]

Yo! You're the one who wants to practice, right? [He waves with a grin]

[polar]

[Turning, Korra waves back, grinning herself.]

Yeah, that's me. Name's Korra, what about you?
