jie always loved when the kingdom held huge festivals, especially since it felt like these moments were when the kingdom was the most unified. the most peaceful, at least. it gave jie a moment to take a breather from the whole guardian fate, and it gave him even more time to bond with his favorite person, min. 

she was truly something different, though if you asked him, he couldn’t really tell you what exactly made her so special. as cheesy as it was, everything about her made him feel like he had more of a purpose in life. from her laughter when jie did something foolish to the way she looked at him when he teased her, his heart fluttered each and every time min gave him even the slightest bit of attention. and it absolutely sucked that there was nothing he could do about the feeling. just because of some made up rules about living out his intended purpose instead of actually living. 

sure, it hurt a little to know he got to experience the gift each human got to have— the freedom to live— yet he couldn’t even live it the way he wanted. sure, jie! you can have feelings, just not feelings for her. yeah, it seemed like his father and the rest of the gods really loved him. and if he didn’t have a reputation or family honor to uphold, he’d definitely show them how much he loved them too, for sticking him with the worst job ever. all of his other siblings got to have peaceful tasks, so why was jie stuck with fighting for a country he didn’t even belong in? only to return to an empty room, waiting for the next time hanshou needed him ( though don’t get him wrong, he loves hanshou ).

though, just because the stupid rule was set in place didn’t mean he couldn’t ask min to remain by his side, especially on a day like this. the night of sevens, or the day where young couples celebrated love, and the single men and women...well... they prayed for an eternal love. to jie, this was all nonsense, but hey, he didn’t really understand the minds of common folk anyways! 

the two walked side by side throughout the nearby village that was decorated with brightly colored lanterns. it seemed as though the entire village came out to celebrate the event, as couples swarmed the streets to celebrate their love. young girls and boys also took advantage of this festival, glancing at each other from afar, gossiping about how handsome or beautiful the other looked ( though it never became more than a few glances ). all of it made jie grab a hold of min, making sure the girl was safe by his side at all costs. surely nothing would happen to the girl during a festival of romance, but jie wasn’t willing to take chances. that was his thing, always remaining vigilant and protective no matter what, especially when it came to people like her. besides, jie needed a reason to hold her hand other than the fact that his heart skipped a beat whenever she was around.

“don’t leave my side.” he mumbled, it was partially an order, but also a request. his hands intertwined with her’s, as he continued to walk and observe the festival. loosen up! jie tried to relax his nerves, as he usually wasn’t this serious around min, but he couldn’t help but to feel a little jealous of everyone around him. and considering he could already sense some of the eyes of the village bachelors staring at the girl, it was even harder for him to remain at ease. so he took a deep breath and turned his head to face min, playfully swinging their arms. 

alright, jie could do this, all he needed to do was focus on her. “i heard the pastries in this village were the best of the best.” the guardian nudged min, “why don’t we check them out? you know i’m a sucker for good food.”

huian wasn’t the type to necessarily care about looks, but her upcoming meeting with the matchmaker had her on her toes! she hoped that the matchmaker could find her an auspicious match ( although part of her wished it was exactly who she was thinking about ), but— most of all— she wanted to bring honor to her family. hence, huian spent the days she had left before the meeting to practice being the ideal bride, which also meant getting up each morning a little earlier to make herself look a bit more presentable. 

she ran her comb through her hair, glancing down at her selection of hair pins. which one will she wear today? a pretty jade one to match the white on her robe? or perhaps a pretty gold pin as an accent? meiju was always one to help her sister with these decisions, but it seemed as though today the young girl was off chasing boys ( one in particular ) once again. as she heard footsteps coming from her peripheral, huian quickly turned to face the sound. “oh, juheon, it’s you!” huian quickly picked up the two options, “i know you may not be an expert on this, but which one would look better? i need to know which one makes me look worthy to be a bride.” she held each pin up to her face, hoping that would help with juheon’s decision process.

— vivian chung

— on days she has to carry light, she uses a coffee colored tote bag. 

— the outside has a small display of cute pins of her favorite movie, animal, etc.

— inside there’s a bulky journal, which vivian has covered the front and back side of with stickers she’s collected from various locations. within the journal are vivian’s fondest memories, most of them related to her travels. an example of this would be the train ticket from spain that has been aesthetically taped to one page. this is the same ticket to the train she found juheon on. 

— this also holds business cards from her favorite hole in the wall restaurants around the globe.

—  a small jade boar, which she bought on her first trip to beijing, that she rubs for good luck

— the essentials... chapstick, scrunchies/hair ties, a hair clip or two, a pen to write important notes with, phone charger, pads/tampons,,, this is all inside a small makeup bag 

— as old fashioned as it is vivian keeps her ipod nano from high school with her for the times she’s on long road trips/flights and wants to relive her teenage years. songs including but not limited to: shake it (metro station), mrs.officer (lil wayne), break your heart (taio cruz), and the way (ariana grande)

— she has two pairs of headphones, airpods and old headphones for her ipod.

— hand cream from innisfree

— a kate spade minnie mouse wallet which holds her id, credit/debit cards, a picture of her and juheon (for when they are apart), and various transportation passes

— when she travels, she carries an even heavier tote. her black herschel tote bag. this usually carries anything extra that she needs for her travels whether that be her laptop or an extra set of clothes. 

— a water bottle so she can stay hydrated-- nothing fancy just a regular plastic one

— her reading glasses

— more recently she’s been carrying around her nintendo switch for days she wants to lay out in the sun and play animal crossing

— selena rodriguez

— it’s a light pink saint laurent top handle bag she bought herself after her senior year of high school. on the outside it looks compact, but it holds a lot more than you think it does (that or shes really good at packing stuff in there)

— there’s always a tube of her favorite lip gloss, the gloss bomb universal lip luminizer by fenty beauty, as she feels she always needs to reapply throughout the day.

— of course other makeup necessities including a travel sized pack of makeup wipes is also stored within the bag. also, to keep her lips moisturized she has a tube of carmex. 

— her phone is inside, which has a pastel pink case surrounding it. inside the case is a twenty dollar bill. her wallpaper is of her family; however, the lock screen is just some aesthetic wallpaper she found online.

— a pair of headphones so she can facetime damian whenever. that or for when she finally convinces damian to let her listen to drafts of songs he works on. she’ll be ready with headphones in hand.

— a few colorful hair clips she uses to accessorize her outfit, but also to keep her hair out of her face when she works

— an old, folded up picture of her and her family from her quinceanera

— a bracelet that was given to her by an ex-friend... she no longer wears it, but just doesn’t know what to do with it.

— cat eye sunglasses because... yeah

— watermelon lollipops for when she has nothing else to eat

— a sephora gift card. she doesn’t remember whether or not she actually redeemed it, though.

— a hello kitty wallet she got from one of her aunts when she was a kid? she honestly doesn’t understand why her aunt gave her it-- selena never was really into hello kitty. it’s great for holding her id, credit/debit cards, store membership cards, as well as various receipts she forgets to throw out.

— cory lin

— it's a black north face backpack that he bought one or two years ago. he honestly wasn't too fond of his college swim team backpack which he always used previously (he wanted something less flashy). the bag overall is organized into different categories, but there's clutter in each pocket. on the outside there's luggage tags with his name on it from various trips and competitions.

— back pocket: it holds his surface pro, which he brings on the go for business related things or pc games with the boys. also, one or more manila folders for scripts (whether it be for ads or for future films) if you dig deep enough you'll find a various assortment of sticky notes with important numbers and information-- they will all be at the bottom of the pocket.

— middle pocket: swim gear such as swim cap, goggles, swim suit, and a towel. or his normal clothes and hats for when he isn't swimming. also a plastic bag or something similar to hold his swim stuff when it's wet.

—there's probably always an extra pair of long nike socks in the middle pocket, and it's probably been there ever since he started using the bag. he doesn't take it out in case he needs it someday.

— front pocket: a dark leather wallet, though he occasionally puts it in the back pocket because he's paranoid of someone stealing it. his phone charger is in the tiny pocket along with a battery pack in case there aren't outlets. there's a tactical folding knife, which he claims is for self defense, but he uses it more for box cutting.

— since he's on the go a lot he keeps a dark chocolate kind bar in there to create a facade that he's sticking to his diet.

— there's vanilla flavored milkita candy under it.

— some pen he got for free when signing up for his bank

— an airpods case, but the airpods and it's case actually haven't been charged for weeks

— a single condom (there's more hidden in the middle pocket)

— ibuprofen because the chlorine gets to his head sometimes

— side pockets: one pocket holds his gatorade water bottle which has miscellaneous stickers slapped onto it. the other holds his college lanyard that has his keys and a matching keychain he bought with min in tokyo.

— wallet: holds his debit/credit cards, some cash, his id (it's not in the id holder), simon's high school id??? (in the id holder), a picture of him and his mom at his high school graduation, a punch card for either boba or frozen yogurt, and an arcade game card

— leon gao

— always seen with his louis vuitton fanny pack, signifying his lack of respect for anyone who can’t actually afford one themselves

—the bag is rarely cluttered as it’s used more as an accessory to his ‘daily drip’ than it is used for its practicality

— inside is his designer brand card holder, which contains his id, a black card, and a key card for his tesla.

— a red iphone 11 that will probably be exchanged later this year for the latest model and its charger

—there’s no pockets within the bag, so his condoms are actually hidden in a small travel sized kleenex package that is already used up

— hand sanitizer so he can clean his hands before he eats/ after he touches things

— business cards he hands out to his tinder matches and anyone else that asks for his contact information

— a disposable sour apple puff bar ( nicotine addict with 5 year old taste buds)

— a snorlax airpods pro case

— the keys to his other car/ various other houses

— strawberry chapstick

—“ is there a reason you look so smug right now?” junghoon questioned, his head tilting as he watched the person before him. “that look hardly brings good fortune to me.”

“i was just thinking about our previous sparring match.” sunhwa replied. although she may have lost last time, the warrior had begun to catch onto junghoon’s tricks. “ how about we have a rematch? unless you’re scared of losing — i’m sure the last match was pure luck.”

“ are you scared?” juheon questioned, the moon high in the sky, he feels alive. more than he had in a while, stuck in the desert dulled his senses, but now? as he stands knee-deep in the lake, he feels reborn.” come on, you can’t be right?”

xiuqiu knew how the moon vitalized a person’s waterbending abilities. she heard stories about how many waterbenders had learned the art form by observing the moon itself. during full moons, it was said that some of the strongest waterbenders were even able to control their opponents like puppets, though she was certain it was only a myth. “i’m not scared.” xiuqiu retorted, “my mother taught me better than to walk into lakes at night with people i’ve just met. what are you doing in there anyways? it's too cold for a late night swim.”

the woman before him was cute. cuter than most girls that passed by the village he was currently stationed at. and well han shou never rejected an opportunity to show a pretty girl around,  much to the dismay to his officers. but hey, what could they do to him. “ han shou, “ he said, shaking her extended hand before offering his arm to meiju.” how bout i show you around and you can see for yourself?”

her mother always told her to be cautious and never trust strangers, but how could she deny a trip around the village with one of their finest men? besides, hanshou seemed completely harmless. “my own personal tour guide?” meiju joined hanshou at his side, “and they say chivalry is dead!”

“oh, um. thank you, but i’m not really from this village…” the waterbender trailed off a bit awkwardly, but still managed to give the other girl a smile. she seemed nice enough, min thought to herself as she reached out and shook the other’s hand. “meiju… i’m min. i take it that you’re a traveler too?”

“yep, sure am!” meiju replied, “min, huh? how long have you been here?" for someone who intended to keep a low profile, meiju was being awfully chatty. it was only her second day within the village, and yet she had already began to make herself acquainted with the locals and now min. “you look so tense for someone who has been traveling around. how about you join me for a quick meal? i heard the restaurant nearby has the best roast duck.”

“ they’re just worried, this happens every time a new ruler takes the throne.” huiqing sighed, it’s true, he was young and unmarried, there were those he thought he wasn’t ready. “once we take omashu and ba sing se, their trust will only skyrocket. “  huiqing knew his family at risk, even if they defeated the avatar. but he already had a plan, he had plans for his family’s safety.  “ the family will be taken care of. “ there was a reason why huiqing worked so hard to get their grandfather on his side, “ speaking of which, i need you to travel to the colonies, since you’re so worried about it, keep an eye on it.”

the fire bender’s eyes widened at her brother’s request. after expressing her concerns, she thought her brother would send one of highly regarded generals of the fire nation instead. then again, many of them were either away at sea or maintaining other duties elsewhere. “ i suppose i could take a trip to see what the issue is.” deep down huian was already dreading the journey outside of her home, “may i ask why you haven’t sent liqin?”

[mangoblossom]

“is everyone in this village cute, or is it just you?” the former acrobat grinned, “ i’ve traveled many places and i’ve never seen someone with such a charming aura.” meiju advanced towards the stranger, extending her hand out for them to shake. “my name’s meiju! what’s yours?”

the firelord tilts his head, silent for a moment as he takes in his sister’s words,“ are you saying we should punish fire nation citizens for gossip?” huian was smart, but he was unsure if she would understand his plan for their nation, has their grandfather’s teachings corrupted her? he had to wait and see. “if the avatar wasn’t alive, there would still be those who found someway to rebel.”

“what other option would we have? even with you as our fire lord we have lost  their trust and loyalty.” she muttered, “i’m just concerned about the safety of our family.” of course she knew her grandfather’s ways often led to more harm than good, but she couldn’t help but think about how his actions also brought security to their family. “let’s say the rumors are true and the avatar plans to overthrow the fire nation. what do you think will happen to us? to you?” huian sipped on her tea, “ i don’t think we should take any chances and find out.”
