<span class="mu-i">Earth. Fire. Air. Water. Seventy years ago, Avatar Aang and his friends heroically ended the Hundred Year War, and transformed the Fire Nation Colonies into the Federation of United Peoples, a society where people from all over the world live and thrive together in peace and harmony. They named the capital of this fifth nation Union City. Avatar Aang accomplished many remarkable things in his life, but sadly, his time in this world came to an end. And like the cycle of the seasons, the cycle of the Avatar began anew.</span>

On the second, a lavish liner bearing the colors of the Earth Kingdom, and on a tour of the Mo Ce Sea with a stopover in Union City, happenstance brings together two of the ordained youths, though they have yet to meet. In an ironic twist, of the two, the one in the traditionally loftier position occupies a humble second-class cabin. His accommodations are unused as well, though not untouched, as the bed is pushed against the wall and the dresser into a corner. This isn’t to allow him a place to sit and rock though, as the teen, sweat-drenched despite the early spring sea air blowing through the cabin’s open porthole, frenetically executes the same series of katas on repeat, refining them each time. It’s the only way to truly occupy his mind, which seems to grow foggier as his transport approaches Union City. The other teenager, tanned despite the presence of both a shirt and a jacket, reclines on her four postered, first-class bed. She hadn’t intended to get such a suite, but it was a surprise gift from her family's eccentric patriarch, at least it gave her more room to pace when her feet got too jittery to let her journal. At this point, she had taken to reading the diary, despite her reason for journeying to Union City being an escape from her old life, at least in part. >(3/4)

A couple of changes of clothes, your journals, a good snack, and a pair of… traditional weapons you brought all the way from home, just in case are what you take in the backpack that comes with you off the boat. You don’t think you’ll need the ‘traditional implements’ (you’re an earthbender anyway) but it’s no secret that Union City has garnered a bit of an unsavory reputation in the years since Avatar Aang stepped back from public life (then died), but that only holds true for some parts of the city. You also heard some of the other passengers talking about some new political movement (yuck) holding impromptu rallies all over the city, who aren’t particularly fond of benders. So you’ll try to steer clear of that, at least as best as you can, you really do want to explore Union City. Even Gaoling and Omashu don’t compare to the city, based on the view you got from the ocean liner as it crossed Yue Bay, and it really makes it clear that, even with all the recent development, Kyoshi Island is a backwater. Not that that fact will get you down, there was a reason you left to explore the big wide world, and what’s a better place to get started than the one place where all four Nations (and that includes the Air Acolytes!) come together. >(1/2)

>>5995378 Right, I like the idea of taking Earthbending from “throw big boulder” to something more high-concept. It’s been years since I watched the original show, but my recollection is that the Earth Kingdoms are sort of meant to be Chinese agricultural peasants. It would be fun to upend that expectation and make some big brain Earthbending innovations

It’s just your luck that the ferry for Air Temple Island is both close to the pier your ship offloaded at and is departing in a little over an hour. You trust that the porters will bring what luggage you did bring from Kyoshi Island to the little apartment rented for your stay in the city, so you’re in no particular rush to get to your new home. >(1/4)

You don’t alert him to his mother approaching from the other side of the ferry to cuff him about the ears. “Tong!” His mother looks and is dressed like he is, though she wears a dress in a traditional Earth Kingdom style and dark gray sandals; she’s probably around thirty. “Apologize to this young lady right now,” at a glance you can see that the rest of their group is looking over at the scene, while the other groups of tourists are paying attention to anything else they can. The woman pauses for a second and gives you a quick once-over, as if to make sure she was right in her initial assumption. You roll your eyes and pull your somewhat-formless top down to clarify your figure. “I’m sure she wants to rest before the tour, I think she’s had a longer journey than we have.” >(2/4)

You’re surprised when the tour, after passing around a training ground for Airbending (which is just an octagonal ring with the bagua on the floor), goes inside the Temple itself. The rooms are open and airy, which you suppose makes sense, with hardwood floors, paper windows between the halls and rooms, and plastered walls with high trim. The colors are mostly warm but muted, with some variation in motifs along the trim and the occasional bright blue pillar that stretches from the floor to the high ceiling. Occasionally, another Air Acolyte passes the tour, some giving waves or nods, but others clearly undertaking some sort of chore, carrying brushes or brooms or baskets full of vegetables.
“Are we gonna see any Airbenders?” The kid from before asks rather loudly as you pass into the greenhouse.
“Master Tenzin is busy,” the acolyte leading the tour informs him patiently. “And his children are preparing for an upcoming occasion along with their mother,” he nods sagely, “I’m sorry, but the tours rarely see any of our resident Airbenders, though Miss Pema typically greets tour groups.”
The kid crosses his arms and huffs, which makes you chuckle. After the tour of the, admittedly impressive, greenhouse, the acolyte begins looping you around the back of the island’s dormitories and in front of the main spire of the temple, and explains that the tour is ending. That also means he’s taking a lot more questions. You don’t think you have any, you’re more disappointed that you weren’t able to see any of the Airbenders, and you’re starting to regret not sneaking off of the tour earlier. You’re pretty sure you would have been caught, but if you timed it right, you might have been caught by an Acolyte you could have gotten away from! That would cause enough of a problem to get Tenzin’s attention.

The group has already reached the front of the temple, so you’re sure you won’t be able to get inside unsupervised now. Glancing down at the sudden contact, you see a younger, slighter girl doing her best to wrap her fingers around yours and staring up at your face. She’s wearing a woven, sleeveless, hooded blue jacket with split sides that goes down to her knees, blue pants bunched around a pair of what look like leather boots, and a high-collared tunic fastened at the neck.

The idea of the United Republic and Republic City are neat, even if everything about the execution (up to and including their names) was bungled. I also like the idea of the White Lotus completely misinterpreting Aang's instructions to them and some of the villains, at least on paper (not you Unalaq lol), have promise. A lot of the side characters are pretty good and Aang's kids and his legacy deserve a second look.
But like I said, most of the Korra lore isn't here, it's just the bare bones of the future setting. There's a fifth nation, technology has advanced (but not as far as in canon), and most of the legacy cast (barring Sokka and Suki. Did you know she doesn't get mentioned once in Korra? Mai gets indirectly mentioned and Zuko didn't even stay with her. Ty Lee actually also doesn't get a single indirect mention) are in similar places. Union City is probably more like late Meiji/early Taisho era Osaka or Kyoto than Roaring Twenties New York, and the technology, aside from the stuff that was already ahead of that in ATLA, is more like the Gilded Age. Electricity is more widespread, photography is (recently) available to the common person, but movies aren't even a concept yet and the radio is still a ways off. The electric telegraph exists, but telephones don't quite yet, microphones are a new concept.

Too risky to schmooze to try to get her to be our earthbending master right now in my opinion, we got a way better plotline going anyway (also metalbending is semi-lame, I like the traditional full on just earthbending the most)

I'm not watching it, but watching someone else watch it the first half of Book 2 of Korra isn't terrible, aside from starting to rape the lore of spirit world and how directionless most of the characters are (Korra being retarded is in-character for her so it's fine). Someone really dropped the bag on the second half of that season, Unalaq doesn't have as much wasted potential as Amon but he has more than Kuvira or Tarrlok.

Something else, you can’t tell if it’s another person or a bag of something, is propped up against several trash cans on the edge of the sidewalk.
