Hello! My name is Joo Dee. Welcome to Ba Sing Se! I shall show you to your new home. Perhaps you will like it?
There is no reason to worry. You are safe here, because there is no war in Ba Sing Se.
There are three rings in Ba Sing Se: the Lower Ring, the Middle District, and the Upper Ring. Ba Sing Se has many walls: the ones outside that protect us, and the ones inside that maintain order. Our newest arrivals, as well as our craftsmen and artisans, live in the Lower Ring. It's very… quaint, wouldn't you say? The Lower Ring is also home to a magnificent teashop that sells only the most delicious tea. Their tea puts my own brother-in-law's to shame, if I do say so myself!
… but I do not have a brother-in-law, because I am Joo Dee, employed by the Dai Li to maintain order in Ba Sing Se, and everyone knows that there is no war in Ba Sing Se.
The Middle District is home to the financial circuit, shops and restaurants, and university. Town Hall is one of the oldest buildings in the Middle Ring, where the imperial earthbenders often gather to discuss strategy – which they would during wartime, but there is no war in Ba Sing Se. I remember, my daughter was quite a fine strategist, for such a little girl! Even the oldest, most experienced generals would adopt her strategies. It filled my husband with pride, watching her!
… but I do not have a husband or a daughter, because I am Joo Dee, employed by the Dai Li to maintain order in Ba Sing Se, and everyone knows that there is no war in Ba Sing Se.
The Upper Ring is home to our most important citizens. The Avatar's home and the royal palace are located in the Upper Ring. The Dai Li, protectors of our culture and traditions, guard both places. The Upper Ring also contains many gardens and ponds, where all sorts of birds and animals gather! There is one pond where you can even feed the turtleducks, just as my son and I used to do! It is truly a relaxing activity, but do be careful not to harm the turtleducks – they bite back!
… but I do not have a son, because I am Joo Dee, employed by the Dai Li to maintain order in Ba Sing Se, and everyone knows that there is no war in Ba Sing Se.
You will be staying in the Lower Ring initially, though you may move up to the Middle or Upper Rings through special circumstances. Just remember: you are safe here, because there is no war in Ba Sing Se.
There is no war in Ba Sing Se.
How did Ursa become a Joo Dee? I'll leave that up to you. Anyway, please review!
