[...This book is so, so weird. She's still not comfortable talking into the thing and she's only done it twice so far. But, might as well leap right into the fire. Being impulsive isn't quite her thing, but hesitating isn't either]

Is this working...? Yeah, I think so- Good evening everyone. I just arrived yesterday and I thought I should introduce myself; my name's Asami. [...] And... if anyone wants to help me with a few things I'd really appreciate that.

[She's sure the people in the Avatar cast could help her with most of these too, but she's imposing enough by having slept in Sokka's room last night (reducing him to the couch) and she needs to figure out a few things here like somewhere else to stay, new wardrobe, her gauntlet, all that stuff.]

Other than that, does anyone like sports? I'm fond of racing and probending, myself.

[...there, that's a conversation starter too.

Bonus Action: While she's looking for people to do it with her, either way she'll be hitting up All Passions, the Item Shop, looking for a room in Community Building 5, and surveying the houses around the Avatar House (56)]

[Well, when Asami makes it to All Passions, there appears to be no one in the front of the shop.... but this blue-haired guy is just visible rummaging around in the back. He's sorting a batch of negatives to decide which to develop, but that might not be apparent from a customer vantage point.]

[...Blue hair. Blue hair. BLUE BLUE okay no um-]

Excuse me?

['scuse you, is there a problem with his hair?

Minato takes an extra moment to look up and realize that she's actually talking to him. He hadn't noticed Shiki stepping out. But, polite as always, he sets down his work and goes to address the visitor.

...She must be a new feather. He'd have remembered talking to someone like her before.] Hey. Can I help you?

[...She really keeps looking up at his hair. It's so jarring as hair goes. Who has blue hair? Really?] I'm here for a new wardrobe... but I'm not really sure what's in fashion here. If you work in this tore you'd know though, right?

[Keep that up and he's going to notice...]

Actually, Shiki runs the store. She just stepped out. [He points to a small sign on the counter advertising his own business.] I do photography, she lent me some space.

[...] But I don't mind helping until she gets back. [If you trust his judgement.]

[...] That would be really helpful. I don't know how people match things with wings, so it's probably mostly that. And it's summer here, right? It was turning to winter back home.

The middle of summer. [...that's probably pretty jarring. Anyway... He steps out from behind the counter to show her to where Shiki keeps her merchandise.] The pre-made clothes are here. See if there's something you like.

[...Wow wide selection. she starts to look, but even so-] But is there anything "in" right now for this season?

Shiki makes what's "in." [the benefit of being the top designer in town....]

Shiki? [Who again? Also wow shouldn't you like help?!]

The shop's owner.

[And wow he doesn't know what kinds of things she likes!! But fine, he pulls a cute white short-sleeved top and a pleated orange skirt from one of the racks. It's a little longer than the ones Minako and Shiki usually wear... this girl seems more like Mitsuru to him, and probably wants something more mature looking.] How about these?

[That... strikes her as an odd color combo and not quite what she had in mind. But if this person is someone who knows the shop's owner - and she'd seen people with shorter skirts. ...Weird. Anyway. She takes both in hand to examine them]

I could try these on, at least... [...This top looks like it might be a bit short on her though, hm]

[She seemed like someone who'd prefer warm colors, and it's summer.]

There's a changing area back there.

Then I'll be right back. Wait for me?

[Because Boys Opinion is a thing she is totally going to assess here. And this is why she is going to go and get herself to the changing room to change]

Sure thing.

[Like he wouldn't wait to see how she looks. ...And he was working in the shop anyway, but details.]

[Okok bro, whatever suits you. But she'll be putting this on and... yeah this doesn't feel right, she needs another layer. But this is summer... Hm. She comes out anyway, doing a slow spin so he can see more than one angle]

[He nods appreciatively, but...] It needs some accessories.

I agree. At least a nice necklace to go with it... probably a light jacket too, even if it's warm for that. [Where's a mirror so she can inspect herself]

[There's a full length one over there, go test it out...] There's a few jackets. But you might have to look somewhere else for the necklace.

[She is okay ok. But either way-] ... Huh. I think I'll take this, but any other recommendations?

[Well...] Do you prefer skirts or pants?

They both have their times to be worn.

Then maybe some shorts. [shorts are cute!! Try these ones, Asami.]

Shorts?

[Let's just be sure about something here. Shorts? She'll be taking these pants though]

Yeah. They're sportier. [just try them Asami!!]
