... Down down down she went

[whatshesawthere]

Just arrived and feeling dizzy?
Mind confused and brain all fizzy?
I'm not surprised you're in a tizzy!

But welcome travelers from worlds of old
You'll find our town a welcome home
And if your wandering bones are cold,
Why not join us down The Rabbit Hole?






[ooc: Welcome everyone to Burby! Upon arrival, your character may see this sign outside of the impressive hotel near the centre square, The Rabbit Hole. To welcome the new guests, the proprietress of this fine establishment has set up an informal tea in the main lobby. Feel free to wander in and mingle amongst the other travelers. Tea, wine, and refreshments provided!]

[There is indeed! One wizened old knight in ill-fitting armor. He swoops over to Korra's side.]

Welcome, my lady!

[He bows deeply]

We are honored to have your presence at our humble banquet!

[braavado]

Whoa, wait. My lady who?

[Holding her hands out in front of her like a shield or something.]

I think you've got the wrong person, buddy. I'm just trying to get home. Where can I get a ride back to the Southern Water tribe? Or uh Republic City's good, too.

[tofollowthatstar]

Do not be so hasty, Lady Agua! You must be weary from your travels. Please, sit, eat!

[He encourages her over to a table with little sandwiches and tea.]

[braavado]

[Well, her stomach is rumbling at the sight of the food...and if it's free...

food first, questions later?]

Oh...thanks.

[Picking up a tiny sandwich and looking at it suspiciously. Why does everything here look so dainty?]

[tofollowthatstar]

[continues to ramble in his own little world]

In truth, my lady, I am glad you are here, for Lady Alice is very much in need of some feminine guidance. She has no mother here, you see, and I am but a humble knight, ill-suited for taking on such a role.

[whatshesawthere]

I don't know who you think needs 'feminine guidance' but it certainly isnt me.

[braavado]

[Choking on her mouthful of sandwich--yup, that definitely went down the wrong way--and coughing violently.]

What? I'm the last person you want for female guidance!

[Pemma would be a better choice. Or Asami.]

[tofollowthatstar]

Lady Alice! A girl your age needs a mentor, a mother-figure, someone to guide you on the path to womanhood. Lady Agua comes most highly recommended.

[whatshesawthere]

I believe I am quite well on the way there by myself, thank you. And you know it isn't polite to make such assumptions towards the new arrivals, Senor.

[tofollowthatstar]

What assumptions? I sent for Lady Agua myself!

[braavado]

[Just when she was about to quietly slip away--]

Wait, it was you!

[Reaching riiiiiiight over the table to grab at...well, whatever she can conveniently grab onto, which just happens to be that little bit of collar sticking out of his armor, and hauling him forward.]

You brought me here!

[See? Not such a great example of lady-like behavior. You might want to rethink that one, Don.]

[tofollowthatstar]

MY LADY!

[helpless squawking. Picking on old helpless crazy men, Korra? Really? You should be ashamed.]

[braavado]

Ugh, forget it.

[Letting go of him so he can just drop back into his seat.]

Can someone just explain what's going on here?!
