New Ember Island Player

Clarissa smiled as she picked herself up, Ranger trying his best to help support her. "Um, yes. I'm an Earth bender." Clarissa started to walk until she heard Shigeru mention knowing she was blind. "I'm not blind." Clarissa tried to say strongly, but was weakened by her own fears. "Blindness is a weakness one can not afford." She said, stopping where she was walking to pet Ranger for a second. "Yes, I use my bending to see. My steps send off a vibration through the ground and I can tell where a structure is. For the most part. Rails, windows, and things that aren't connected to the ground are a little harder for me to see." Clarissa started to walk again, wondering how Shigure had been able to see from the color of her eyes that she was blind. Just one look and my weakness was flat out on the table for her.

"All I know is that I wouldn't mind some Fire Nation Coffee, or Earth Kingdom if we had it." Taku said as they neared the stage."As for breakfast, I guess that's up to him, is it not?" answering the first question and producing a handful of roasted nuts from a pocket. He tipped them into his hungry friends hand. "I didn't think anyone would mind if I kept a snack." he said, smiling.

Ruiyn was sitting in his perch quietly when he finally noticed that people were getting awefully close to the stage. He began thinking to himself "if Golude does work he should be arriving soon with the other people."

Takeda smiled as the players appoached the stage.

''I apologize for the early wakening, but we must get started.'' He went back stage and grabbed a box. handing it over to shigeru he said ''Dearie would you please hand one to each player?'' he then wispered to her, ''Help clarissa.''

as shigeru handed out scripts he told them abot their day. ''You will read these scripts. At noon you will return and the first rehersal will occur. This will happen every day. Breakfast will be provided at any restraunt you choose. Now, before i dismiss you I will hear any grievences.''

Shigeru grabbed the box and handed out the scripts to whoever's name was written on each packet. When she got to Clarissa, she slipped the paper into her hand to make sure she got it without dropping it. Then she set the box down and looked at her own script, standing next to Clarissa. "Tonight, we will work over your lines. For now, just look like you are reading it. I'm sure Takeda won't force you to try and say your lines that you can't read." she whispered.

"Thanks," Shion accepted the script and proceeded unscrolling to read it. "Rebellious jerk, hehehe" he chuckled and continued reading the interesting dialogues. Not for long, he was swimming in fantasies of the past.

Clarissa eyed the playwright as he mentioned having Shigeru help her with the lines, but secretly welcomed the help. She took her book carefully, thanking Shigeru silently so that the others wouldn't notice. The only part of being blind that she hated most was actin like she could read the lines without any issue. Something, not quiet visible to Clarissa's Earth bending, was watching them, and it made her feel a bit overcome. She hated people watching the practices, and couldn't stand ease droppers, however she couldn't find the exact location of the person either. Frustrated, she accepted any and all of Shigeru's help and sat down on the stage with her script open in front of her.

"this is pretty interesting" Tak said, disinterested as he pretended to read the script. He was starring outside as the open skies, cloudless and light blue, that the day had to offer. It reminded him of the Earth kingdom mountains he had spent so much time in. The snowy peaks had been fun to mess around in. But here the heat prevented those kinds of things.

Tak gathered a ball of air in his hand, swirling it around and around drawing it in closer and closer. He was really just messing around, waiting for the others to head out to breakfast. He had heard this particular tale of the avatar a few dozen times at the Temple and knew he could act out the parts, given they had been described to him over and over again.

The temple....... "They wouldn't send people into the fire nation.......would they?" He asked himself aloud without thinking, troubled by the thoughts of causing anyone harm because of his actions.

Ruiyn stands up slowly then leaps to support beam sliding down. Looking directly at the crippled man and saying " I take it you are Takeda Golude. I am Ruiyn Straid, son of Erziya Golude and Mikeal Straid. I've come a long way to find you." He pulls out the blade hanging across his back "This was my mother's blade and a picture of us as a family. The only things I have left of her."

(the order is suspended for jacobs 'audition')

Takeda angrily stared at the man in front of him. to show his displeasure the lights around him turned red as blood. ''How dare you.'' he said. ''The only living Golude members are myself and my nephew. Erziya Golude is a falsehood. I should know, I spent the last 12 years searching for my family.'' he resisted the urge to burn the young man on the spot.

''Now tell me what you want and be on your way.''
