OOH ARE WE TALKING ABOUT KORRA HERE?! heart heart heart

I'm an ABSOLUTE fan. When the chance popped up in the Philippines for me to learn Tai Chi for free, I jumped on that thing like a starving hobo being offered a free buffet meal.

I swear that it's a total coincidence: all the martial art styles I've learned so far have something to do with the Avatar: Last Airbender series--Tai Chi (water), Xing Yi and Shaolin (fire), Seven Stars Praying Mantis (Toph's earth style), and a bit of Ba Gua (of course, air). But I'm actually a weapons disciple who specializes in Dao's (close to Zuko's dual butterfly knives) and Jian's (the sword style Sokka learned). I also know a bit of staff forms which is the airbender's choice of weapon.

I found Korra to be less than the original Avatar . . . but alright. It was as if they took the entire growth of Aang from three seasons and put it into one for Korra. If anything, it felt . . . forced.

Still, it was enjoyable, and to be fair I wanted to see more of the adult team Avatar. When Katara was put on screen I squeed a little inside. Naturally, I knew Aang had to be long since dead, but wondered what happened to the rest of the crew. I am a sucker for such tales. When she comes back, I will be interested. The timer is set on my DVR.

I'm to lazy to learn a fighting style, I fear.

X-men is one of my favored tales. In fact, I'm in a RP that feels a lot like it, and playing my version of Magneto there- just without the magnetism. He has obtenebration instead. ^_^  

[Gale OverDrive]

Oooh, obtenebration, I should play around with that.

My novel idea is sort of un-xmen-like in the sense that the concept of the "ability" or "power" isn't exclusively limited to a select few. In fact, the idea is that the entire human race has the potential for it, but that very few are able to actualize the potential. To give you a hint, the working title for the novel is "God Slayers"

You mean the Legend of Korra series in general? It came back about more than a year ago? Today is the airing of the first episode of season two. wahmbulance

Haha wow. Well I'm super behind the times apparently.
I don't have a lot of time to watch television. I'll have to find the episodes and download them.  

[Alexander Magnus]

I believe Korra is coming back tomorrow night . . . at least, according to my DVR  

[Alexander Magnus]

Korra is decent, and I enjoy it . . . but not to the extent of Aang. I loved how he was learning, growing, and each time was spent in the world mastering an element. With Korra she knew 3 of the 4 elements from the get-go. Another issue was how in the original series, bending was rare and revered. It was not very strong, and advanced bending was exceptionally rare like metal, blood, or lightning. Now everybody can do the rare stuff, and bending is commonplace.

Mystical became mundane, and learning became lame.

Okay, okay, I'm doing it... I think I have a solid vision of a setting for a walk-in roleplay, I'm going to recycle City of Secrets and use it as a base, and have one of my time-honored roleplay characters run a business in the city... The classic one is of course, a bar/inn combo, but in a big city setting? I don't know how that would fit in, but I'm leaning towards hotel...

Let me just, summon the two pour souls I've decided absolutely must join me on this adventure.

Meeeeehhhhhh,,,  

[Zahzi]

That was me saying 'I am here.' in an after-work tone.  

[Kami-Kahzy]

...oh dear.

Well, that's a good idea. Though another one might be a shopping mall, or some other similarly public place.

Actually a shopping mall might be the best option there. You could have any number of stores, a food court, movie theater, maybe even a pool if it's fancy enough.
