Ba Sing Se, the greatest city in the Earth Kingdom. People from all around the world were making their way to this very spot to either watch, partake, or just enjoy the atmosphere of the Grand Tournament. There would be food stalls set up from each of the different nations, stages set up for people to show off all sorts of skills, and even some strange and exotic animals and items up for sale. Ba Sing Se has become the most popular place in the world, and this was exactly where a trio of performers ended up.
Though they had not set up inside of the city, instead setting up outside of one of the front gates. It had been a suggestion from a less... crazed Benjiro just a few hours before. The fact that they could grab people's attention before they entered the city with their show should get them some pretty decent pocket change before finding a place inside to set up. After their makeshift stage, bending right up from the ground itself, was created and set up, their show began. The first run through went smoothly almost without issue, and now they were taking a bit of a break before they started the second.
Benjiro just sat there, staring at the people walking past, a bit of red jennamite growing out of his chin, acting like a strange goatee of sorts. Now and then, it'd grow a bit, covering more of his chin, only for him to 'shave' it using his sand bending. In one hand, he was collecting the crystal sand, swirling it around and creating a small dust devil of sorts. This wouldn't be too bad really, but he was doing it while he was laying off of the stage, the top of his head on the ground, his long hair splashed around his head.
Without much thought, Benjiro rolled his body to one edge of the stage, before rolling it back to the other side of the stage. He did this a few times before coming to a stop on his side in the middle of the stage. Suddenly, the desire to be on his feet over-took him, and he scrambled wildly for a moment, startling those who were watching the strange display. With both of his arms out in front of him, a tad spread, Benjiro blinked rapidly before letting out a sigh.
"I am not swimming in milk." He stated, as if any of the confused bystanders had even thought of that as the reason. Standing still, the jennamite beard grew a bit once more, covering his entire chin, but he paid it no heed. "You," he shouted, pointing at an old man who was wearing customary water tribe colors, "jello is not an acceptable piece of clothing!" Benjiro leered at the man as he stood on stage, watching the confused old man move a bit faster away from him.
For a few moments after the old man had left, the leer stayed on his face before a look of confusion took its place. The jennamite had now grown once more, almost covering his mouth and almost giving him the appearance of having side burns. "What happened to my face... my face is heavy... WHY IS MY FACE HEAVY?!" He cried out, before bursting out laughing. "Oh yes... my rock beard... Madam, do I look sexy?"
