Stolen Merchandise

Stolen Merchandise((OPEN TO ALL))

Kana was walking home (which was also the shop sheworked in) from walking around in the Lower Ring of Ba Sing Se. With her pet ElephantRat resting on her headtop, she took lengthy steps and had a rather cheeky grin on her face. She had just finshed wrestling with another fellow earthbender and was proud that she won. Her face, along with rst of her body, was riddled with dirt. She spoke loudly to her pet on her head. "Aw man, Tak, that was so fun! The kid didnt even know what hit him! I should make a living out of beating guys at wrestling." She continued down her path, ending her rejoice with a hearty laugh.

She stopped down. She was only a few feet away from the shop. Why did she stop? There was light coming from the shop's windows. That was unusual. Her mother doesn't work in the shop in more. She was sure something was on. She bolted off only to slide into position in front of the shop, looking in to see it in shambles. Lamps were lit and knocked over. The merchandise that her and her mother made and sold were gone. The armor, the masks, the pots, and even the toys. "What the..?! Who did this?? All of our stuff is..." She stopped mid-sentence and Tak climbed down from her head to tuck himself into the neck of her shirt. He could feel the tension from her anger. All of that merchandise couldn't have been carried away by one person. It had to be a large group. Aware that her mother was most likely asleep in the housing section of the shop, she took the black fingerless gloves from her pockets and slipped them on.
"Alright Tak, we are going on a little treasure hunt."

Jian had heard the commotion as she walked through town, enjoying an evening stroll with Phi, her pygmy panther. It was he who had alerted her to the thievery, actually, and she could not have rewarded him better for it. She came around the corner, hiding in the shadows, and watched as a group of people took items out of the small shop, loading them into bags, and slipping away into the darkness. Jian recognized the shop: it was the Yin Yang Artists - they were known for their bending-crafting skills, and she could use some new arrowheads, as well as a new pair of wrist guards for her archery.

As she waited, a young girl approached the house and went inside, obviously upset by the stolen merchandise. The girl readied herself to go out in search of her burglars, and this is when Jian stepped out of the darkness. "Going somewhere?" she asked, surprising the girl. Phi saw the girl's elephant-rat and snarled - he liked elephant-rat. "Easy, Phi," she said, soothingly. "There were several of them, and I saw which way they went. If you'd like some help, I might be able to be of service."
