1. This is the House that Bolin Built
Characters: Bolin, Ping (his Meow Wow) & YOU
Content: Bolin decides to save munny and build his OWNhouse earth tent. Although he needs to clear the area of some Nightmares first.
Location: Traverse Town, Backstreets
Time of Day: Evening? Hard to tell with no sun.
Warnings: Abundance of cute? IDK
While a few people had mentioned the First District as a good place to set up camp because of the fewer Nightmares about, Bolin felt that it would be better to set up in a place a little less crowded. He needed to find a spot that wasn't so open and that wouldn't be a hindrance to others. Bolin was a city boy himself so exploring Traverse Town and keeping an eye out for such a place wasn't too difficult. How often and he and Mako done the exact same thing in Republic City when they were younger? Looking for empty alleys and abandoned back streets, where an earth tent would hardly be noticed and out of the way of police that might have hauled them back to an orphanage somewhere.
Bolin's wandering had taken him through a few of the districts and had certainly taken him across the paths of a few of the Nightmares everyone had warned him about. His first encounter with them had caught him off guard and he'd almost gotten hurt, just because he wasn't used to attacking small creatures. Ping had been a big help then and Bolin had quickly picked up the slack, slamming boulders and earth disks to cut through the Hebby Repps and Komory Bats that tried to ambush them.
It was honestly by pure accident that Bolin stumbled into the backstreets of Traverse Town, but as soon as he saw all the waterways and canals streaming through the area, he knew this was the place he was looking for. A little ways in he found a small alcove that was off the main path and surrounded by walls. The perfect alcove.
Bolin put his hands on his hips and looked to Ping, "Welp little buddy. I think we found our new home."
Ping tilted his head as if to ask 'I don't see it.'
Bolin took a step forward, ready to get to work, when several dark forms emerged from the air: Meow Wows, Hebby Repps, and Pricklemanes. Bolin frowned but brought his hands up, "Great. Looks like we have to clean this place out first." Ping jumped forward, his large butt wiggling in anticipation of the fight. The Nightmares sprung on them and Bolin and Ping started fighting back.

"I told you I could handle this," Bolin said with a grin. Ping took out the final Meow Wow and lumbered back over to Bolin's side. He stroked the cat-dog thing behind the ears. "I know I probably should, but if I only have enough munny for a short stay, I'd rather save up and spend my munny on other things. Living on the street isn't hard as long as you can find or build shelter and I think once you see the earth tent you'll see I'm just as safe out here as I would be in a hotel. I'll just have to be careful when I go outside it and Ping can help me keep this area clear, no problem."
Bolin snapped his finger, "Oh right, I was going to show you how the earth tent is built. I guess since you're here I don't have to call you either." Bolin was still pumped with adrenaline from the fight so building the earth tent wouldn't be too much trouble at all.
He motioned for Luna to step back and made sure the Spirits were out of the way as well. He then focused his attention on a corner of the alley where the walls were already high and would help serve as more protection. Bolin then stomped his foot against the ground and pulled up with his hands. The alley's floor split open and several rock walls shot up and then attached to the dead-end of the alley. Bolin pushed again and a small opening formed in the rock, completing the tent.
The tent was a decent size, at least enough room for a few people and Dream Eaters to sleep comfortably. It looked a little like this. "Ta dah!" Ping bounced up and down and then bolted for the tent.

"May we?" Pacing forward, she reared up and leaned on one of the walls, testing its strength. "Quite sturdy...thou wilt be safe from aerial and fire-based attacks...why, we suppose it is a fit dwelling. Without weather, thou shalt hardly risk catching cold." She leaned down to peer into the little opening where the Meow Wow had gone. "Hast thou built many of these?"

He watched Luna test it's strength and was pleased to see that she couldn't stomp through the walls. It was good to know that it was solid. He hadn't made one in awhile after all and he wanted to be sure that the rock walls were thick enough to serve their purpose. "Yeah. I used to make them when Mako and I lived on the streets. We didn't really have anywhere else to go. It'll be hard to get a fire going without him, but I'm sure I'll manage that as well." He glanced at the opening and then back to Luna, "You want to see what it looks like inside? The good thing about an earth tent is that I can seal up the entrance so that the Nightmares won't be able to get in from there either."
He moved through the opening and it was just the right height that he didn't have to dunk down or anything. Ping was sniffing around the inside and seemed to be looking for a place to curl up. Bolin smiled, "Yeah, yeah, I need to make some places to sleep. We'll do that later Ping. How about this for now?" Bolin shifted his hands down and the ground smoothed itself out and then a small circular area of earth rose up a bit and made a sort of platform for Ping to curl up on if he wanted. Ping hopped up on it, did a few circles, and then flopped onto his back, tongue hanging out.
