[Action, 9/21-9/25] Level 1 Event

[The 21st]
Anything but a morning person, Chouji wakes up slowly. When he finally stretches and pulls himself out of bed, he freezes. This isn't his room. "Tou-chan! Kaa-chan!" He claps a hand over his mouth after the yell, realizing that if they aren't here, he isn't sure he wants to know who is. Chouji looks around the room, seeing a forehead protector placed on the dresser, right in the middle as if waiting to be put on. It's a ninja's room, then. He picks it up, looks at the symbol, a kanji rather than the Konoha leaf. Not a good sign, given that Chouji has absolutely no idea what village uses a symbol like that.

Things deteriorate from there. If anyone heard the yell and comes to investigate, they'll find a very apprehensive six year old, possibly armed with a kunai if he's found his older self's weapons stash.

When he does get up the nerve to leave the room and explore the floor, he tries to sneak around unnoticed, but it's the equivalent of playing ninja. On a floor of fully fledged ones. None of his attempts are likely to be successful. Anyone in Community Housing 1 is welcome to catch him out during his lackluster attempts at stealth.

22nd-25th
Other days, now that things have been explained to him, Chouji looks for food and will be pleasantly surprised by any new friends. He can probably be found at the convenience store and bakery for snacks, Seventh Heaven for a meal or two, and at the playground by the school playing on his own.

Or pretty much anywhere as long as it isn't in someone else's house. He stays out of the residences. He's open to tagging along after people he met on the first day so handwaving first meetings is also okay.

Why spend all your time at the playground alone, Chouji? Just look at this 12-year old bald monk kid sitting on the ground while playing around with a small ball of air. Have you ever seen anything cooler?

Chouji's eyes light up at the sight. He hasn't seen that technique before.

"I like your wind jutsu! Is it a clan technique, or did you make it up yourself?" If Aang made up his own jutsu, he may have a new admiring fan.
savedtheworld: (glad very friendly)

"This is airbending! I didn't really make this up myself. I learned it from Monk Gyatso! But I did use it as an idea for my technique!"
caterpillarninja: (ponder)

"I've never heard of airbending. There are ninja monks?" This is a logical conclusion to draw, really, Aang! But he's further distracted from the first question by a second. "What's your technique?
savedtheworld: (cheer - air scooter)

"I don't know what a ninja monk is, but I'm an airbending monk! How do you not know what airbending is? It's one of the four elements after all. But this is the technique I made..."

He hopes to his feet and creates a larger ball of air that he hops on. "This is the air scooter!"
caterpillarninja: (grin)

"We have jutsus that are part of elements too, but we don't call any of them airbending."

Okay, Aang has successfully distracted Chouji from any lingering confusiion, because that technique is just cool.

"That's amazing! How did you come up with it? Is it hard to do?"
savedtheworld: (blush)

"Jutus are a funny word. I just don't know what it means! But I don't know why you wouldn't call something airbending. It's one of the best words!"

He swivels around a bit on the air scooter.

"I came up with it by myself when I was trying to think of a fun new trick! I thought it could help me catch up to animals faster. It's not hard at all! As long as you can airbend."

"I can't airbend, though. I've never even heard of it before today." He wonders if his new acquaintance will still want to play with him even if he can't airbend or learn the air scooter.

He sees that frown - and he recognizes that feeling on his face. The feeling of being left out. Aang's memories of being excluded from his own friends, just because of the abilities he had as the Avatar, are still fresh.

"That's okay." He hops down from the air scooter, but he makes some motions with his arms to keep the scooter going. "If you hop onto that, it'll be like you're an airbender."
caterpillarninja: (grin)

"Really?!" Chouji looks at the air scooter, hesitating a second. It looks like it might be hard to balance on, and it would probably hurt if he fell off. Another look at Aang, though, is enough to convince him. Aang wants to play with him, is going to help him.

Chouji walks over to the air scooter, takes a deep breath, and jumps.

It will support his weight, at least. Aang has the ball still whirling, and one need not be a bender to ride atop it.

"See? Isn't that great?" And if Chouji looks comfortable enough, Aang will even try moving it around. Just a little bit - it's harder to control when he's not riding it.
