Sokka the 24th - [Action]

[markofthewise]

[Today Sokka has excused himself from work, because really, Edward is a frigging beast and he's not too happy about the new couch just yet, so hanging out here with nothing to do is kind of pointless. So today he's working hard on one of his other, more important projects. Namely, building a few more canoes, now that he's determined the prototype to be perfectly safe. So Sokka is over beside House 56 (facing House 57 and the road to the barracks), sawing the wood for the second canoe in his 'fleet'.

If you're one of the people who agreed to help him, feel free to already be there doing so. Or if you just happen to be out and about in this obscure part of Luceti, feel free to gawk.]

[Okay okay, composing himself. Standing up to face her. She's talked to Ty Lee, so...]

You won't like it.

[standsonhands.livejournal.com]

No, that's okay. I'll figure something out.

[markofthewise]

Well there's always the Welcome Center, right?

[rocket-feet.livejournal.com]

Since when have you ever cared about what I like?

_{[Or her about you.]}

[markofthewise]

Because I'd just as soon avoid my house burning down. Again.

[standsonhands.livejournal.com]

Yeah. I'm super flexible.

[rocket-feet.livejournal.com]

Looks like it's a lose-lose proposition for you. Although if you start talking I may be inclined to not set it on fire.

[markofthewise]

I've noticed.

Hey, you hungry?

[markofthewise]

Alright, fine. [Have a sigh.]

Where should I start?

[standsonhands.livejournal.com]

I- Yeah, really hungry, actually.

[rocket-feet.livejournal.com]

After your little invasion.

[markofthewise]

Same. Katara's at school, so I'm just going to make some sandwiches for lunch. [Oh wait, they didn't have those back home. Explanation time.] Meat and veggies between bread. Want one?

[standsonhands.livejournal.com]

That sounds pretty good.

[markofthewise]

Fine. But only the parts important to you.

So, after we made our escape, we didn't see you for awhile. Not until Zuko and I decided to break my dad out of the Boiling Rock. Zuko was discovered while we were there and somehow you found out and showed up there. You tried to catch up with us on the gondola, but then they started cutting the line. You and Ty Lee were able to get away, but if the line was cut, we would have all went in the lake and died.

Mai fought off the soldiers, so we were able to get to the other side. And then, I really wasn't there for this part, but I guess Ty Lee stuck up for Mai or something. I know we didn't see either of them until after the war. And as for you... [This is the part you went insane. Hmm.]

[markofthewise]

Right. This way. [And he's letting you into his house. A special honor reserved for... well, okay, people are in here all the time. He goes straight to the kitchen and starts digging stuff out from all those marvelous amazing things like the refrigerator with the light glowing inside of it.]

So your sister is here, and you said the Avatar used to be here...what about that other girl? The blind one? She here too?

[markofthewise]

[He has his back to her, so he misses it.]

Toph? She's... somewhere around here. So is Zuko. [He points of to the southern end of the house.] That's his room. There's some other people from our world too. Jet and Longshot, but you should be careful around them. They hate the Fire Nation.

... and then there's Roku. Avatar Roku.

[standsonhands.livejournal.com]

Another Avatar? Crazy.

[rocket-feet.livejournal.com]

_{[Her jaw grinds, but she nods, listening. She's going to find out about the truth of this. She's going to learn what happened. Happens. Will happen. Who cares? She can change it. She'll have to change it.]}

Go on.

[markofthewise]

Even crazier? He's my age.

[Sandwich assembly is go. Hmm, does Ty Lee like spicy? Eh, of course she does. She's Fire Nation. The jalapenos are going on.]

[markofthewise]

Well, you found us about a week later. We got away and stayed low after that. And then when it was about time for Sozin's Comet, we found out about your plans for the Earth Kingdom. Your dad declared himself Phoenix King and made you Fire Lord for some reason. So we went into action.

Toph, Suki, and I stopped your fleet. Aang took down your dad and took away his bending. And you...? Well, you pretty much lost it. I heard you were banishing servants, your Dai Li agents, those creepy old women, and so forth. According to Katara, you also had a really bad haircut too. [He kind of smirks at that, but oh yeah, she's still glaring, so it doesn't last long.]

[rocket-feet.livejournal.com]

_{[Azula stares for a moment as she listens and she wants it to be a lie. She wills it to be a lie. She couldn't lose. She's perfect. She's the favored child, poised to be the next Fire Lord. How could it all simply be taken away from her? How could she go insane? She wouldn't. She had control. She tightens one hand into a fist and then relaxes it by force of will. Her voice is eerily calm.]}

So. According to you, I lose everything.

[Longshot considers knocking. But then he decides he'd rather not take the chance of Zuko opening the door. Just as he's about to leave and come back at another time, he notices the canoes.]

[He can't help being curious. So he's just going to go over there and take a look at them]

[markofthewise]

[He shrugs at that.]

Pretty much. You cheated during your Agni Kai and took a shot at my sister, but Zuko took the hit for her. So my sister took you down instead. Last I heard, they put you in a some kind of 'hospital' [finger quotes] for your 'mental health'.

[markofthewise]

[Well Sokka will be out soon enough, popping open a soda and notice Longshot.]

Longshot? What are you doing here?
