((Hi all. This is a pre-plot thread, intended to give people a chance to have their characters socialize and meet the Earth King before they get swept up in the plot. Any character with an approved bio is more than welcome to join. There will not be any combat in this thread, so having approved abilities is not required.
Also, being a pre-plot thread, there won't be a lot of structure to this thread. The direction this thread takes will be up to the RPers and how they choose to act in the thread. That is also why this first post is so short, to give people the option to choose how they wish to join. Enjoy.))
Two of the Dai Li's best agents, dressed in plain merchant clothing, bowed to Earth King Shi Huang as he exited his chambers. The trio were prepared to go on one of the Earth King's outings into the city's populace. This time, though, the Dai Li were especially anxious. With the opening ceremonies of the tournament nearing, the city was bustling with tourists. His guards were going to have to be extra cautious with all the ruffians in town, not to mention all the good people that were getting too excited by all the waiting.
Earth King Shi Huang and Avatar Xuan Wu had had it out the night before, their raised voices heard several rooms away from the more intimate meeting room they had been using over the more formal throne room. The Avatar had been growing increasingly frustrated with his friend's over-dependence on his city's sealed walls, berating him that he was leaving innocent people to suffer at the hands of the spirits. He claimed that Shi Huang could only leave them to die because he didn't care, because he didn't know them very well. So the Earth King left the Avatar to deal with his advisors and generals, and prepared to go out in the city.
Shi Huang was dressed as a well-off merchant, his clothing rich enough that he wouldn't have to worry about nobles or criminals targeting him, yet plain enough that he could interact with the majority of the people in the city. Leaving his quarters, his Dai Li protectors fell into step behind him. His servants made way for them as they made their way through the winding halls of the palace.
Before long, the trio descended the stairs in front of the palace, joining the throng of party-goers and getting swept up in the festivities.
