4th Wall - [Action/Voice]

[markofthewise]

Wow guys... the ocean, the ocean is amazing. I forgot what it's like to see the sunrise over the ocean.

[Sokka, along with the rest of the Gaang and some others that accompanied him, is out by the ocean, having settled in despite the cold weather. What's a little thing like being nowhere in the middle of nowhere to keep him from being harassed by everyone?]


((ooc: This post is a joint post for the Gaang! So expect to see Sokka, markofthebrave, barefoot_bender, and sokkafangirl in this post! Feel free to tag any of the harassment posts or start a new thread and try to net all four!))

[And her eyes widen at that.] Zuko?

[She takes a half-step forward, appearing to be wrestling to remain stoic.] He's still alive?

[markofthewise]

[... okay, that was pretty good.]

He's here. Well, not here here, on the other side of the mountains in the village.

[If you like that, you'll love this.

Here's when - appearing to be close to overcoming emotion - Azula turns her back on you to regard the ocean. Her shoulders slump in apparent relief. Really, it's just a way to keep her body language from giving her away. Turning her back to an enemy makes every nerve stand on edge.

The relief in her tone, however, is near genuine. If Zuko was here right now, this would become infinitely more... complicated.]

That's good to hear.

[He's still skeptical. There has to be some kind of way to establish she's lying. If she's from some alternate universe, though, that makes things difficult. However, if they were hiding out together...]

... so what are you saying happened to Zuko?

[A quick sigh and a hint of anger.] Do we really have to go through this again? Isn't it enough that I had to prove myself to all of you the first time?

[And she quickly turns around, looking at him with a new question.] Is everyone here? Or is it just you and [the briefest hesitance] Zuko?

[markofthewise]

The rest of us are here.

[... except Aang. But everyone else in Luceti is here, so it's no lie. She's welcome to assume Aang is too.]

[And assume that she does indeed. Which means that her hopes of simplifying this - just kill them both - are squashed. She'll have to stick this out until she can find another alternative.]

That's good, isn't it? With all of us - and the Avatar - we should be able to find a way home.

[Back to where things make sense.]

[markofthewise]

Don't count on it. I've been here for a year.

[Which should explain quite a bit for her.]
