pov: you've been approached by a harmless looking young man, who offered to bring you around the nation's scenic spots. it came with a charge, of course, as it was a business that he was running— a freelance tour guide. he boasts of his knowledge and competitive rates, convincing you that without a local chaperone, you wouldn't be able to fully enjoy and experience the wonders of air nation. skeptical of how a mere boy could be an expert at every aspect of his nation, you asked for proof. perhaps a website or pyeogle (google) reviews? he whips his phone out and began furiously typing away. you were about to walk off when he jumped before you and presented:
[ ... ] jiwoon's dialogue: aside from your typical stops to see our cute sky bisons and to manifest blessings from our goddess, yeongdeung at the air temples, i could take you to the oil rigs *a pause, and he pats his chest with a smug look on his face* i have special access to them after all, since i am a local and i /am/ a certified tour guide. besides, there's no guarantee you'll reach the air temple. have you seen how high in the clouds they are? come with me and i could fly us both to the top in no time! and wouldn't you want to learn more about our history? we started off as normads, did you know? we weren't this advanced or wealthy in the beginning. a lot of my ancestors worked hard to build the air nation we know today, shouldn't you take some time to appreciate that? (an incredulous tone, in an attempt to guilt trip you... subtly.)
you were only half convinced - how did this kid even know you were a tourist anyway? jiwoon sighs and thinks to himself, "geez, is this b*tch broke?"
looks like the only way to get your business was to be more sincere. with his words? his expression? his tone? *headache* jiwoon digs deep and recalls the pleasant memories he had in air nation. despite his lackluster self and his refusal to do anything more than bare minimum, he did put in time & effort in a few chapters of his life. it was here, in air nation that he was born in - born luckily enough to have an amazing older sister. luckily enough meet the friendliest people - who have become quite the close friend(s) with him. contrary to his complaints, jiwoon was proud to be an air national. the goddess of mirth ensures as best as she could to watch over everyone and spread joy & laughter. it is here in this nation that he learned to persevere, to dare to have hopes & dreams. freedom did not come without a price. the previous generations fought hard for the advancements of our nation, it is only right to take pride in what once was a small, humble village - now turned into a bustling city.
DO YOU ACCEPT JIWOON'S INVITATION? SAY YES.
