A tall white slender man Oh nooss slenderman is here lol dressed in appropriate colored earth kingdom attire stood in front of a food vender stall, his hand picking out a rather distasteful looking fruit but still edible nonetheless. “How much for the repugnant piece of fruit there?” The short vender’s face looked at the man with an aggravated tone. “Since you seem so pleased to have it…Extra charge. Two silver pieces.” The man with the black green-stripped hat smiled and chuckled before digging in his pocket and pulling out two silver pieces and handing them to the vender. “Try not to spend that all in one place, don’t want to go and waste it like I just did.” the hated man chuckled as the vendor grunted and started to sweep his stall. Turning around, the man known as Buzama took a bite out of his piece of fruit and looked into the streets of Ba Sing Se, it was the first time he had been back in his hometown in five years.
He only managed to walk a few steps forward when he heard commotion and a crowd of people start to gather around another vendor. Hmm...I wonder what’s going on… closing in on the crowd Buzama could start to pick up higher elevated words. “Actually I'm not the one that keeps them here, in fact, you merchants aren't even the ones to keep them here, it's the rich and those in power that step on the backs of the poor!” Buzama was now well apart of the crowd and was looking on as he took another bite of his fruit and swallowed it. Yep...doesn't seem like Ba Sing Se has changed…It’s good to be back home.. Of course his last thought was of the sarcastic tone. This may have been his home but it was rarely ‘good’ for him here. He then took notice of what looked like a tiger next to the young woman; Hmm interesting companion for such a small lady. As the young woman continued to talk, Buzama smiled and chuckled a few times. She’s pretty feisty. Shifting his eyes to the merchant and then to the little boy the young girl was trying to defend, he had not been here long enough to discern who was the more aggressor and thus decided to stay out of it for now unless things got more intense.
It was then that he noticed black crowds start to converge onto the crowd. Dai Li agents? Why would they be converging onto this kind of scene...things like this never bothered them before… Taking a closer look at one of the Dai Li agents he noticed that their robes were more dirty and tattered than what he remembered them being. Something’s not right about these so called ‘agents’ As his eyes darted back to the young woman and the little boy he watched as they left the merchant and headed into a dark alley. His eyes then watched those of the merchant as he looked at both Dai Li agents as if to signal them for something before disappearing behind his stall that was adjacent to the dark ally the young kids went into. He then watch as the Dai Li agents then did the same. No...Something’s definitely wrong. As the crowd that had gathered started to disperse, Buzama was nowhere to be found.
Buzama stood on one of the rooftops that overlooked the dark alley. As he peered over the edge he could see the merchant standing in the alley in front of the young woman and her tiger with a ax, the little boy had vanished and the ‘Dai Li agents’ had blocked the alley way. Leaning in closer he could hear the young woman speaking. "Why are you doing this? And I would never leave Vascar! What would you have me do anyway? Vascar is part of my performance." Hmm Vascar must be her tiger and by the looks of it doesn't look like he’s too thrilled with being separated. Continuing to listen to the conversation the ‘merchant’ started speaking. "Well, boss probably wouldn't care to much about the animal. We will just have to knock it out and cage it while you are our special guest," Buzama watched as he began moving cautiously closer to the tiger and young woman with the blunt end of his ax in his hand.
"You should be excited! If he likes you the boss will make you his new wife... easy now." Yep….same old Ba Sing Se. As Buzama listened to the young girl’s response back the tiger looked about ready to pounce and when the young girl screamed the tiger leapt into action. At that same moment Buzama decided to try and lean forward to get a better listen only to have his foot slip on a piece of paper making him lose his balance. "Oh nonono” His small yelp of no didn't stop him from tumbling over and falling into the alley way and catapulting into the two fake Dai Li agents knocking them both to the ground.
Quickly getting up and off of the fake Dai Li agents he spoke quickly as he got into a earthbending stance, hoping to make a cooler intro instead of just tumbling out of nowhere he began to speak. “Sorry to drop in on your little kidnapping soiree but you guys forgot to invite me. Don’t you guys know I’m always the life of any party?” Smiling and chuckling he prepared for the attack of the fake Dai Li’s hoping the young girl and tiger could take care of the merchant and the two other thugs Although by the looks of it, the odds were not in their favor...of course Buzama was use to this.
(OOC: Cheng I didn't ignore your post if you’re wondering. Buzama can’t see you since you’re behind the two peasant looking men and the merchant so he doesn't know you are there since he was falling right about the same time you were arriving)
