On the note of power scaling, we're totally spreading out into loads of different skills, but honestly, I'd really like to have a 'primary skill' that we put most of our points and practice into.

I want to have like, one skill that can just... reach like white hot fire, or burn its way through a mountain as a fiery laser of pure boiling destruction.
We are still young and it was implied that now is the only time we can invent new skills, without spending years on it.

The more outrageous the stuff we try to come up with is, the earlier we must train it, so spending our youth stocking up on different bullshit techniques is not that bad.

Besides, our new bullshit techniques still rank up our general firebending skill and a lot of them are really only the basic advanced stuff every member of the royal family should know.

Ran and Shaw are old.

Like, that lion-turtle deus ex machina (ENERGYBENDING!) level old. Thousands of lifetimes, pre-dating the Avatar.

Not trying to fight them was wise. One, alone, could easily have roflstomped Azulon like a chump. End of his life, sum total of everything he's worked up together Azulon. Crazy kung fu manga character versus fat kid in a karate costume from wal-mart level crushings. They work well together. Greater than the sum of their parts.

They could probably waltz into the spirit realm and start fucking shit up if they were inclined, though not Agni or some others, but they're big news. Just for being so damn old.

Shen Lung and some others totally make them look like baby kittens, but who the hell has seen those guys in forever, huh?

From page 88 of thread three back on SB.

It's not a story post, so Chibi could change his mind pretty easy, but yeah.

I think consensus was to level up Butterflies so that they can act as homing missiles and as point defense. Our massive 'fuck off and screw collateral' technique is lavabending.
We had consensus? If it existed I think it was 'heat manipulation with a teacher / scroll" (and I still wanted and want Voice of Command training)

Also, each new technique adds to our overall understanding of fire. I.e. with each new skill we level up our general fire bending level.

This and now we have this whole airbending crap to look into.

Hmm, heat manipulation combined with airbending might lead to some interesting ways of kill people. Super heated air blasts would be a bitch to dodge with only refraction giving you an idea where the attack is.

Right; sorry, was going off of my shitty ass memory there. Yeah it was Heat Manipulation on the condition we could get a teacher of some sort or any knowledge that would help us. Because w/o that we can't have that at a high enough level for Lavabending to be feasible by the time the comet comes, which was the major issue people had with that.

So...Lightning, Heat Manipulation, and incorporating the stuff Zuul had?

Guys, before we go and start running after Shiny! we should research dragons. Seriously research them. And what is happening to us. And our mental box and what's in it. And do spiritual (as in "meditative") training (perhaps with VoC).

Because Raijin called us a dragon to our face. And the hand in our mental box already became scaled.

Let's not forget to run down Zuul too. She IS our responsibility and we don't want her slipping the leash in light of recent developments.

I'm wondering where she was, earlier. Hopefully with her family, that's an acceptable excuse. If she's already rocking the boat a bit, not so good.

About Zuul. What is the probability that, by being in our presence and practicing what is very close to water bending, she'll attract someone's attention? Not Tui's or La's, but some spirit of water? Perhaps spirit of Oil (flammable liquid)?

We need to run damage control even if we were gone for five seconds.

Ozai just learned that hell, spirits are real.

Who wants to bet that he remembers about Agni Kai he used for his own gains? And about Azulon's sickness and how we cured him?

We need to explain spirits to him, explain butterfly to him (not "we'll birth a body for her" part, but "she's bond to us" part), explain air spirits anger, explain Old Man of the Mountain to him (who wants to bet that it will be a test site for fire bending research soon?).

And, above that all, we need to explain to him how we can bend during the eclipse (confirm with the fairy first)!

This makes us a unique military asset.

Also something that needs to be brought up.

And we should try and get / train /recruit some lightning benders. Because there has to be a way beyond giving birth to them.

Converting JooDee by stirring up a storm inside of her or taking some master martial artists who are not benders among our nation may be an idea.

Scroll up. Check where "Cold Sky Fire" has moved to~
So... who's up for never bending air without fire, and never speaking to anyone of this again?

Also, Zuko's lost Dao in the spirit realm: potential for problems. You have a weapon Zuko loves more than any other, that he's invested time and energy and sweat and even firebending into. And it's sitting in the spirit realm.

Chibi said that this was just a Dao.

And we'll have to set of program of disclosure. Because one of our children is likely to be an outright airbender.

I.e. we mustn't hide it forever.

For one, it angers Raijin.

We might be able to fix JD now, but it's not guaranteed; we still have no way to affect the 'earth' part of her, and we can't be certain that we'll be able to affect the 'wind' part any time soon (i.e. it will likely require training to do).

Why does there have to be a way to make new lightning benders beyond giving birth to them?

It's apparently a hereditary contract, after all. Whether or not someone has an inner storm or not may be irrelevant, just as Toph having an inner flame doesn't mean she can firebend. We probably want to learn to manipulate the inner lightnings anyway though, both our's and those of others.

We probably should hit the books and see what the lightning equivilent of dragons are though.

Edit: we don't ever have to disclose. If we make a hereditary bending contract with Navi then even Airbending children of ours will have some weak Firebending. As "everyone" knows lightning is a Fire technique, people will just assume they're specialised Firebenders. They can hide their Airbending in plain sight.

After checking the wiki, apparently there doesn't have to be, as there are airbenders in the world still.

The argument was based around there being too many airbenders in Korra's time for them all to be Aang's and Katara's descendants.

Also, on disclosure. Why won't we want to disclose? we didn't lose fire. We gained air in addition to fire. This is important.

We have worked hard to have other benders integrated into our Nation. Eartbenders, even water ones. Now, we can show the integration in the work by our own example.

VoC is complete and utter overkill here. Just let her vent naturally, she'll be fine. And the fact that we let her vent her eyes and nose )I'll bet with covered in tears and snot right now) without protest will stick with her when she comes back to her senses.

Also, Spirit library is....bad idea. Just, overkill. Iroh studied airbenders a lot, he may have some scrolls and we aren't in so much need that we must have scrolls. We have plenty of stuff to do.

Well, we could maybe probably get water from studying Zuul's style then finding some major spirit of oil fields and contracting with it (Oil being on the border between water and fire).

Or from Tui and La directly. How friendly are they? We may get their approval. Maybe.

I have no idea where we would get pure Earth.

And yes, I'm for

[x]Not hiding it, specifically. You have nothing to be ashamed of. All forms of bending are welcome in the Nation as long as they contribute - you made it pretty clear by your actions. And you haven't lost fire in any way. Thus, there is no real reason to hide air. Controlled release of info, though. With Iroh's help.

If we do, we can check on heat manipulation as well.

I in fact believe that the library would be one of the few places with actual information about lightningbending techniques.

Keep in mind that real lightningbending wasn't used in centuries and Iroh's studies probably centered more about the Air Nomads than their origins and didn't concentrate on bending but rather philosophical stuff.

That's also probably on the table, but given that the thing is a spirit, that means talking about spirits. And Iroh's counsel is probably along the lines of, "Hope that Azula earns Raijin's favor."

Not sure....probably surprised at how much Ty Lee cares about us. Maybe some annoyance that she's very much overreaching her station, and some underlying paranoia that she will strike at us. Chi blocker and all. Paranoia ain't rational.

... This would be so dumb. Worse than Fong level of dumb. Ignoring the fact that there's no garantee the next Avatar will be born in the NWT, it would do them no good for fifteen years at least and the next could never be a fully realized Avatar because as far as they know he's the last airbender.

Wasn't it said that things sunk into the library couldn't be learned in the real world/ Since we were able to discover lightning bending, it is reasonable to believe that the Library doesn't have scrolls on it / there are better ways of finding knowledge.

Library is the last resort.

I'm actually half-suspecting the NWT killed Aang so they could have a water tribe Avatar, and that's why we haven't heard from him. THEY don't know the war is over come Comet-time.

Edit: it's kinda weird people that worship the moon don't practice astronomy.

...That is possible, isn't it? Damn. That would be sad. On the other hand, we get to adopt Korra. To raise her as our own.

Why should they?

The moon cycle is pretty obvious and they don't really care about other celestial bodies.
In fact studying them might actually be seen as somewhat blasphemous, given they are more in Agni's domain.

Do not deal with spirits...

I wonder, what Sages have to say now? And what Azula have to say to them now?

We can just let people believe it's an advanced firebending technique. Updraughts from flame, that kind of thing.
Why do we have to explain anything to anyone but Ozai / Iroh. We are a goddamn princess and Heir Apparent of the Absolute Monarchy where disrespect to the ruler is the grounds for immediate battle to death if you are a privileged class (bender) or just plain execution if you are not.

Hell, announce proudly that you were so great you have gained a favor and respect of Raijin the Mighty God of Thunder, alongside with the favor of Agni himself! Make a public celebration out of it. Craft a storm over a desert and make it rain!

What do we have to be ashamed of?

Other forms of bending are not persecuted in our Nation at this point beyond "don't commit crimes using them" and "fire is superior" (traditionally) and "if you are still in war with us, we'll keep you in maximum security".

We worked on creating Earthbender engineering corps. We are thinking of releasing some waterbenders.

Why do we have to hide airbending?

We aren't trying to make the Avatar our enemy.

Nay, we should, in a controlled manner, drop the bounty on air benders. Then welcome those who come out of hiding with open arms. As citizens of our nation.

The reply to them would be: When someone of Agni's caliber comes calling, you try telling them no.

That is of course assuming our contract with Navi doesn't conflict with Raijin's like Agni's does.


True. It isn't impossible for them to co-exist though - remember Raijin send it was possible for Azula's children to be either, both, or neither.
While it's possible I doubt Raijin is going to let Navi horn in on benders that would otherwise be purely his. Agni probably wouldn't mind since he has tens of thousands of benders, Raijin right now has one and any future benders will be part of our line so...

Of course it should be the last resort, but it seems like it would be a good plot hook, so I'm kind of expecting it.

Also, the stuff in the library can be learned the normal way as long as the library is still in the real world, so we could have learned lightningbending, even if there were no other sources than the library.
This is exactly why Wan Shi Tong is looking for excuses to sink it back to the spirit world, which is, in turn, why visiting it is so dangerous.
