The Last Gas Bender

[bender_of_gas]

Hello beautiful strange woman! Do you think you can take me to that place where Korra is? You said the mun lady that plays the green spirit boy also plays daddy. Tell her to put him there too!

[Cue sniffing of hair]

I think you were better with your hair longer. I'm sure it would smell better.

Meelo? [ Ah oh this just spells a world of problems for Korra. ]

Tell me you're not out here for the reason I think you are.

[bender_of_gas]

....MAYYYYYBE.

Do you think there will be lychee juice trees there?

[antiequalist]

Errr yeah... Sure...From what I hear, it can appear if you really want it... But wait that's not important...

This Mun lady you were talking to, is she really planning to send you to where I am?

[bender_of_gas]

[Jumps up in the air]

ALRIGHT!

[Looks to be thinking hard until...]

I think she might! Not after she's done sending in that Beats lady, but she needs to!

[antiequalist]

Sounds like I have some time then...

Uhm...Does Tenzin know about this?

[airtempered]

Meelo!

What are you doing out here all by yourself?!

[savedtheworld]

Are you okay there, little guy? I don't think you should sniff people's hair, no matter how beautiful it is.

[bender_of_gas]

DADDY!

[Jumps in the air to hug you]

But I'm not by myself, I'm with this short haired lady here!

[bender_of_gas]

Noooope. She's an alien that abducted me!

[bender_of_gas]

[Peers at you, jumps in the air, pokes your arrow]

Can you do an air scooter?

[savedtheworld]

An air scooter? Of course I can! I invented it, after all!

[It's a seemingly random but appreciated mistake. A shaved head... maybe he's just one of those fans of his he's heard about... But either way, he quickly pops up the air scooter for this kid.]

[scarred_past]

[No. The clothing. The appearance. This kid can't be related to Aang, right?

Face meet palm.]

[abitofawildman]

Meelo? Is that you?

[bender_of_gas]

[Peers at him for a moment, studying Zuko carefully.]

Are you the Lord of flaming fire flakes sir?

[bender_of_gas]

UNCLE BUMI!!!

[Leaps in the air to cling onto the man's arm.]

Are you going to go that place too?

[bender_of_gas]

[Picks his nose out of boredom, eats booger. Pouts, unimpressed.]

Yeah....I've seen better!

[Makes a face like he's trying really hard to do something, passes some gas, which makes him shoot up five feet into the air.]

[savedtheworld]

Hey what do you mean-

[...]

Did you just fartbend?

[abitofawildman]

[Bumi laughs with a mixture of relief and joy.]

My mun was thinking about it, yes. Are you okay?

[bender_of_gas]

[The cloud of gas "cushions" him as he floats back down to earth, lands on his feet expertly.]

That's better!

[savedtheworld]

But... but how did you do that!

[bender_of_gas]

You're grandpa Aang, you can figure out anything!

[bender_of_gas]

Yup!

Her hair smells weird though.

[savedtheworld]

I'm.

Grandpa?

[abitofawildman]

Weird? How weird?

[He probably should be discouraging Meelo from smelling people's hair...

Nahhh. It's a dad's job to discipline.]

[scarred_past]

Flaming what?

Slow mun is slow ;_;

[bender_of_gas]

Flam-ing Fi-re Flakes. They're tasty! You have to try them, maybe even get them through your nose!

Slow mun is slow ;_;

[bender_of_gas]

[Shrugs as though it was common for him to see anyone else from a past time period. Though what was normal for Meelo, not really normal for everyone else.]

Yeah, daddy misses you you know.

Slow mun is slow ;_;

[bender_of_gas]

Weird like bear weird...she doesn't have good coat of Earth on her.

:D! Yay tag!

[abitofawildman]

[Bumi's trying his best to keep his expression serious.]

Hmmm. That is weird. Other than that though, is she okay?

/dances

[bender_of_gas]

[A slight pout, cue an internal "Jeopardy" themed ear bug, the kid's thinking hard and scrunching up his face to think in a philosopher like fashion until...]

Eh, guess so.

My day? Officially made!

[abitofawildman]

[If he winces ever so slightly as Meelo thinks hard, it's only because he's not sure how that particular think is going to end.

Could be nothing. Could be the kid flies ten feet in the air by the seat of his pants...literally.]

You guess so, huh? Don't sound very enthusiastic to me. You know it's not just anyone who gets a Mun. I know lots of people who don't have one.

It's okay, threading with Meelo is a delight.

[savedtheworld]

Wow. I don't have a son yet, and... he already misses me? [This is too weird for Aang to process... unless his memories from other D_M threads and/or Luceti are loaded in.] If it helps, you can... tell him I said hi?

<3

[bender_of_gas]

Mmhm. Jinora tell us stories of you a lot, she's always reading.

Sure thing Grandpaang! [Does a salute]

<3

[bender_of_gas]

Really? Like who?

[abitofawildman]

Well off the top of my head there's your Mom. I haven't seen her around here. Or your Aunt Kya for that matter.

[savedtheworld]

She does? She sounds really nice. It's good to study a lot!

Thanks... Grandson? [He's flabbergasted, but he tries to salute back.]

[bender_of_gas]

[Now he looks a little disappointed, but brightens again.]

I've seen Jinora! I keep making this lady have me talk to her, but she doesn't do anything about it. Once I'm at that place, I bet I'll be busier than a bumble fly!

[abitofawildman]

[His broad smile returns.]

That wouldn't surprise me in the slightest, kiddo. Not one bit.
