New muse makes herself heard. The idea comes from Benderstuck on Tumblr

Mundane Is It?
While Seeing Other Worlds Is Certainly An Interesting Proposal I Am Afraid I Must Decline
People In My Own World Need Me
Particularly The Younger Benders At The Temple

...You're Not Even Listening, Are You?

I swear some of these Mundanes are total amateurs. Is a little professionalism too much to ask?

Feel free to ask for me to drop the text color xD Also actor!Toph <3

[fashionista_monk]

I Certainly See What You Mean

[Must resist urge to suggest different clothing.]

So, Ah Are You From The Earth Kingdom Then?

:D

[tophguy]

Hmm? Oh yes. Born and raised but I travel alot.

Come to think of it I ought to send a letter home, it's been awhile since I've been back.

[fashionista_monk]

It Would Certainly Be A Good Idea
What City Are You From? I Have Some Friends In Ba Sing Se And Omashu Personally So I Have Been To Both Occasionally

[tophguy]

Heh heh, Actually I started out in the colony of Yu Dao. But I attended classes in Ba Sing Se.

[fashionista_monk]

Yu Dao?
Oh The New Colony Karkat And His Family Moved To

[redregrets]

OKAY, HUMAN KANAYA I CAN HANDLE.
BUT WHAT THE HELL IS UP WITH THAT TATTOO?
AND WHAT EXACTLY ARE YOU BLATHERING ON ABOUT?
IS BENDERS A HUMAN TERM I'M NOT FAMILIAR WITH?
JUST SAVE MY SPONGE CLOTS THE TROUBLE AND DON'T SPIT IT OUT IF IT'S ANYTHING CRUDE.
THE LITTLE I KNOW ABOUT HUMAN ANATOMY ALREADY DISTURBS ME ENOUGH.

ALSO, IN CASE YOU HADN'T NOTICED, MUNS DON'T LISTEN TO SHIT.
IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO CONVINCE THEM TO DO ANYTHING, SO JUST GIVE UP NOW.

[fashionista_monk]

Karkat?

[Alright different times she could handle but this looked like her friend, just well gray and with strange horns.]

Well I Suppose I Can Answer Your Questions If You Don't Mind Answering My Own Later
The Tattoos Are Something That An Air Bender Receives When They Achieve A Certain Mastery Of Their Bending
A Bender Is Someone Who Can Manipulate One Of The Four Elements; Water, Fire, Earth or Air
I Am An Airbender
Shall I Demonstrate?

[redregrets]

YEAH, IT'S ME.
HI KANAYA.

GREAT.
FUCKING INQUISITIVE HUMANS.
I GUESS IT'S FAIR THOUGH.
OH, SO YOU'RE SORT OF LIKE EGBERT WITH HIS WEIRD ASS BREATH POWERS.
DOES A DEMONSTRATION INVOLVE THE DESTRUCTION OF ANY OF MY BODY PARTS?
IF IT DOES, THEN FUCK YOU.
IF IT DOESN'T, THEN I GUESS I'LL TOLERATE IT.

[fashionista_monk]

You Mean John? He Is An Airbender As Well
You Are A Firebender In My Universe

[Kanaya gives him a look.]

Judging From That Statement I Guess That I Am Either Not A Monk Where You're From Or You Have Bad Experiences With Alternate Versions Of Your Friends
But No It Does Not Involve Harming You In Any Way
I Think I Will Go With Something Easily Felt
An Airbender Is Able To Create And Manipulate Currents Of Air Allowing Them To Create Jets Of Air With Nothing But Their Breath

[To demonstrate Kanaya took in a breath of air and breathed out a jet of air towards Karkat. It wouldn't be enough to make him fall but it was strong enough that he'd feel it pushing him back.]

[redregrets]

YEAH, I CAN'T SEE HIM DOING ANYTHING OTHER THAN WIND.
OR AIR.
WHATEVER.
THAT'S KIND OF HIS THING.
OKAY, I DON'T KNOW EXACTLY WHAT THAT MEANS, BUT IT SOUNDS PRETTY COOL.

I'VE JUST HAD BAD EXPERIENCES WITH HUMANS IN GENERAL, ALTHOUGH I'VE HAD SOME PRETTY AWFUL EXPERIENCES WITH ALTERNATES TOO.
AND NO, YOU AREN'T A MONK.
YOU'RE A TROLL, LIKE ME, AND A PRETTY DECENT ONE TOO.


_{[Woah, okay. That's really, really weird. He kind of imagines John's powers being similar, but this is the first time he's experienced something like them first hand.]}

SO, WHAT EXACTLY DO YOU DO WITH YOUR AIR POWERS?
I MEAN, WHO'S YOUR ENEMY IN THIS UNIVERSE?

omfg i don't feel like using the quirk

[feministing]

I like your tattoos.

Then I'll just drop mine too XD

[fashionista_monk]

Thank you.

Your own are quite interesting as well. Are they meant to represent something within your species or are they purely decorative?

[This girl seemed rather interesting and she was curious if she was a monk as well. After all she only met that grey Karkat so far.]

hahah porrim's is so hard 8(

[feministing]

Mm, not quite. Most of the others of my species don't have them.

[fashionista_monk]

Well nevertheless they are still interesting.

Ah I suppose I should introduce myself. My name is Kanaya.

My tattoos as you referred to them are a mark representing I suppose a milestone of my life. A certain mastery in a skill inherent to my people.

[irohdisboat]

They tend not to pay attention to our desires, dear lady. Not that we should roll over and accept their control, by any means.

[fashionista_monk]

Still it is better to be realistic with expectations. At the very least he has had time to explain that the nature of this place allows me to be here without encroaching upon my duties.

[irohdisboat]

True, others would not be so kind.

Ah...I did not realize that Master Tenzin had found anymore Air Benders. I'm sure his father would have been pleased.

[fashionista_monk]

Any more Airbenders? I wasn't aware we had made ourselves scarce.

[She had to admit she was a bit confused.]

[irohdisboat]

...my lady, I am going to ask you what may sound like a strange question...

Do your know who the most recent Avatar is?

[The old blood of Zuko has kicked in on him again. He probably should have kept his mouth shut.]

[fireflyheir]

i'm not sure they do listen!
or if they do, it's either to completely block off what you're saying or because it's what they were going to go with all along

temple?

[fashionista_monk]

John?

[So many people that looks like people she knows. Still she was getting used to it.]

Yes I Am A Monk And I Live In A Temple

[fireflyheir]

yeah. kanaya?

[he maintains that this is going to continue to be weird. WE'LL SEE.]

huh! what's it like there?

[fashionista_monk]

It Is A Very Lively Community
And When You Are At The Temple There Is Certainly No Shortage Of Pranks

[She looks him over.]

It Is A Little Strange To See You Without Your Arrows Again

[fireflyheir]

hehehe, i bet!

i guess
it's kind of weird seeing you with them! not that i really got to see a lot of you before, but still.
they're pretty nice, actually! they're tattoos, right?
