[Day 1]

[windandrain]

Mmm, more friends are always helpful.

Yes, of course. Humans are the norm, aren't they? Even here.

[Day 1]

[savedtheworld]

Usually! But I didn't want to assume. It sounds like you live longer than most people in your world, too.

[Day 1]

[windandrain]

Oh. I'm...not human. I do live longer than most people, too.

[She shrugs]

I'm a Kami, a god of storms called the Daughter of Wind and Rain.

[Day 1]

[savedtheworld]

A god of storms? That's... really neat! [Aang quickly remembers himself and bows.] It's an honor to meet you.

[Day 1]

[windandrain]

And I am honored to meet you, Aang.

[She inclines her head politely]

I was wondering something. I can sense something about you. Have you ever dealt with spirits before?

[Day 1]

[savedtheworld]

Yeah, it's one of my Avatar duties to deal with the spirits from time to time. That's what makes meeting you even more honorable.

[Day 1]

[windandrain]

Oh! So you are a priest, then? My, you are a fascinating one.

[Genuinely smiling right back at ya!]

Are the spirits of your world more like me then, like gods? Or, are they more like ghosts?

[Day 1]

[savedtheworld]

Thanks! I'm a monk, but that and being the Avatar's like being a priest I guess.

It's hard to tell. They're pretty... spirit-y. I guess they're closer to gods. Lots of them look like animals and control different aspects of the living world.

[Day 1]

[windandrain]

Where I am from, Monks and Priests are similar enough to be the same.

[She nods at that though]

That sounds like the kami, my kind. Each of us controls some part of the natural world. Weather, time, the sun, things like that. But, do they look like me?

[Day 1]

[savedtheworld]

I guess the definitions are kind of similar in ways.

They don't really look like you. Most of the spirits look more like animals or weird creatures. Only the spirits of the other Avatars look like people, because they were people. [Pause] There's also the Painted Lady, but I'm not sure if she was completely real.

[Day 1]

[windandrain]

Weird creatures?

[You have her attention, because this...decidedly...is not her natural form, just one she chooses to take]

and why do you think the Painted Lady might be untrue?

[Day 1]

[savedtheworld]

Yeah! The first spirit I met looked like an animal that I now know is called a panda! The water and ocean spirits took on the forms of fish... and there was one scary spirit called Koh the Face Stealer. He was... kind of like a spider. It's hard to describe...

But the Painted Lady? I met her once, but it was actually my friend Katara in disguise, trying to help a village.

[Day 1]

[windandrain]

Koh the Face Stealer?

[THAT sounds more like a Kami. An odd form, a title, and that sort of thing]

What did Koh do?

[Day 1]

[savedtheworld]

He... stole faces from people and animals. Anyone who showss emotion on their face in front of him could... well, lose it. So it was really hard to deal with him.

[Day 1]

[windandrain]

Sounds...dreadful. I...have met a few Dark Kami like that. But you must have been very brave to have talked to him.

[She turns away]

I am sorry though, that you had to deal with something like that.

[Day 1]

[savedtheworld]

Thanks, but you don't have to apologize. As long as he doesn't wind up here, the worst is over.

[His tea finished, Aang rises.]

It's been nice meeting you, but I should really get going. I have to check up on my son and grandkids.

[Day 1]

[windandrain]

Yes, of course. Thank you for talking to me. I'm sure we'll meet again.
