[Today, the NV turns on as the girl on the screen is walking down the produce aisle of a grocery store, though she's not necessarily looking to buy anything.]

It's been a while since I was here! I don't usually go shopping or anything like that, but I thought it would be good if I tried to get a job again since it's the summer. I don't want to just sit around, after all!

[She smiles, before something to the side catches her eye - there's a fly sitting on an apple. Alarmed, she reaches for the piece of fruit, pulling it out of the middle of the pile where it had been resting. Of course, this sends the apple just above it falling down, and when she reaches over with her other hand to grab it, she slips. The hand that had been going for the falling apple instead hits the pile as she tries to save herself from falling, but all this really accomplishes is sending a good amount of the apples onto the ground.]

Oh, oh, jeez, I didn't mean to—

[From behind, there's a gasp from an onlooker, and she casts a worried glance behind her, starting to run before promptly tripping over a fallen apple. Muffled laughter can be heard before she picks herself up, sprinting down the aisle before she thinks to turn the NV off.]

Oh, I'll make sure to do that, too! You don't need to worry about that.

Excellent, good weather and nature should be enjoyed. Though truth be told, I would prefer a hotter temperature.

Really? Is that what you're used to?

Re: Video

[tea_lover64]

Oh yes, where I am from it is right on the equator, and the islands are volcanic. It is after all the Fire Nation.

Volcanic? Is that ever dangerous?

[tea_lover64]

Oh certainly, there are plenty of times when a volcanic disaster has occurred, though with the help of talented individuals, the damage is usually minimized. Volcanic soil is very fertile though, and makes for excellent agricultural yields.

[motioned]

So you stay there because growing food is easier, even though it's dangerous?

[tea_lover64]

No, we stay there because it is our home. Besides the entire land mass is not all volcanic, just a good portion of it, some have been extinct or dormant for many centuries.

[motioned]

Oh, that's good! Did you make sure to stay in the safer places, then?

[tea_lover64]

Safe enough. I ended up settled in Ba Sing Se far away from my homeland, I liked the wide variety of people and the culture there.

[motioned]

Ba Sing Se? Is that a city?

[tea_lover64]

Yes, the largest city in the world. The name means 'Impenetrable City'.

[Though he had gotten through the walls twice himself]

It is a wonder.

[motioned]

What makes it impenetrable?

[tea_lover64]

The great walls of Ba Sing Se are incredibly thick, and can be held together by the efforts of the earthbenders there, meaning most attacks must possess a great amount of power and effort to get through, only a few attacks have ever penetrated it, even enemy earthbenders.
