Hello Genessia! I'm Aang. I work at the shrine. The official job description for here is spirit guide but I don't think leading people around the spirit world is a good idea so I'm interpreting it as spiritual guidance.

Since we've got a lot of new people and the paper only comes out once a week so that column might not answer everything, I thought I'd offer my services as good advice giver. Spirit guide giving spiritual guidance! Some good 'ole Avatar wisdom. Completely free. And you get optional onion-banana juice because... that helps for some reason. I'm not really sure why.

Anyway! I actually have a question to ask everyone.

What food around here does and doesn't have meat? And what's your favorite?

[She's trying to think it over, how exactly it works, maybe Aang would understand a little more easily.]

I have a sixth sense, a lot of people from my world do. Some of us are more sensitive than others to the nature of souls. If I were to concentrate, I'd be able to feel the souls around me--living or dead--and if I focus on one, I can sense the nature of the person behind it.

[There's more than that, but going into the whole Soul Theory might give non-Meisters a headache. Hell, it already gives regular Meisters (except her) a headache.]

I don't know if I could be a spirit guide like you are, but we do have the ability to connect our souls to another person's in my world.

Because everything's connected, right? [ ?? ] Sense one thing and then sense everything... and you can just pick up individual people way better? I don't know about sensing someone's nature though but I think I get what you mean.

[ kind of a hard concept to grasp but he's trying ]

Connect? Like soul mates or - ?

[There's a short laugh when Aang says "soul mates." She's not laughing at him, just the word.]

It's more like...every soul has a sound, and when you connect it with another person's you're synchronizing your sound to theirs and making a whole new sound. Like music.

Sensing someone's nature is a little like empathy, for my experience, I feel their feelings almost like they're my own and that can get a little overwhelming. [If a person is particularly upset or evil, anyway.] Less experienced Meisters can be made physically ill from it. [B-but not her...okay, yeah, her too, she's still a kid.]
