Spade Pirates

This is Ace.

I found this cool little shop that sells a lot of different things. I think it might be magic, because I bought Vivre cards from it that work without you needing to weave them properly. There's one of every crew member for everyone, so it was pretty expensive. I was forced to sell the really fancy green hat I got off that jerk I punched.

They've been tested them too, so I know they work like the real thing. Each card has a name on them, so you know who they'll be pulled to.

I'll pass them out on the ship. Just be sure not to lose them.

Be ready, by the way. We're gonna set sail once the ship is stocked up.

[So he found this Korra person, but...]

Bend? [You can't bend water! It's...water!]

[...Another one.]

Yeah, where I'm from, we've got this thing called bending where we can extend our chi outside our bodies and control the elements. Water is one of 'em.

I see. I'm guessing it more complicated than just that explanation, right?

[rebonding]

Not really. You just have to move right to do it. Each bending style has its own set of forms. Some are really easy, some are really tough.

[Alas, she doesn't know the world 'martial arts'. That makes explaining this a whole additional level of tedious.]

Do you think you're able to teach others how to do this?

I... No, you have to be born with bending. You can refine it and master it, but you can't just suddenly have it. It's like having green eyes or black hair.
