I have a question for those of you who are familiar with the "Earth" worlds, particularly the country of New Jersey.

Are summer thunderstorms common?

OOC: Thanks to Eris, she's still affected by this. Feel free to use it to screw with her/get her to admit really embarrassing things LIKE AN UNDYING LOVE OF FLUFFY BUNNIES NO SERIOUSLY (NOT REALLY).

Ahh, Jersey .. Yeah, it has thunderstorms durin' the summer. [happy sighs] I love a good thunder storm, all curled up under a blanket.

[peoplesprincess]

Very good.

[hesmypuddin]

Ya goin' there or somethin', toots?

[peoplesprincess]

No, I'm already there.

[Voice and vid]

[hesmypuddin]

Well what ya doin' there? Ain't ya supposed ta be all [gesticulates with her fingers at the camera] firey and 'boom death destruction' in the Fire Nation of yours?

Re: [Voice and vid]

Winning a war is different from meaningless death and destruction.

And yes. That is where I'm supposed to be.

[Voice and vid]

[hesmypuddin]

Well, yeah, obviously toots. Not that I have much of a problem with the random destruction aspect of things. A little chaos never hurt .. well, okay, yeah, it did .. [trails off and then waves it away with a smile] But they got over it, so nothin' ta worry about!

Well, if that's where ya are supposed ta be, why are ya in Jersey? Did ya leave cause of all that 'meaningless death and destruction'?

Re: [Voice and vid]

[peoplesprincess]

[She seems a little agitated]

No. I left because the person causing it wants me dead.

[hesmypuddin]

[noted and ignored, because that's just how she is!! :D]

Well .. huh .. yeah, I guess I can see your reasonin' there, toots. [headtilts] But .. if you're s'posed ta be there, and want ta be there .. why don't ya just beat them at their own game?

Ya said ya don't like the meaningless death and destruction, but I figure is someone was tryin' ta kill me .. an' it's been a while, so I could be rusty .. I figure I woul just, ya know, take them out first. Ya don't even have ta be there, ya know. I mean sure, ya could pop off a person right there in front of ya if it's your thing, but a few well placed pranks could end all your troubles!

A civil war now would compromise the Fire Nation's overall strength, and possibly cost us the worldwide war. I am not going to risk a loss.

[hesmypuddin]

[blinsk and frowns at this particular twist]

Well, yeah that would make the whole thing that much harder, huh? But what's life without a little bit of challenge?! HAH! An' really, are ya the only person in the Fire Nation that has a problem with this guy? It's a guy, right? I mean, so many of life's problems stem from men an' their ineptitude, or need ta show 'they're boss.'

[beams broadly]

You're the princess, ain't ya? why should ya have to cow down ta anybody?

Re: [Voice and vid]

[peoplesprincess]

I don't know how easily my soldiers would turn back to me, because I haven't been back.

And I'm not the princess anymore. I'm the Fire Lord.

[Voice and vid]

[hesmypuddin]

Well, then ya just assert yourself. I ain't never seen ya ta be the sort ta back down from any kinda challenge, toots.

[blinks]

An' the difference is ..? Sorry, but I didn't know ya'd gotten a promotion or nothin' ..

Re: [Voice and vid]

[peoplesprincess]

The Fire Lord is the country's ruler. And I'm not backing down. I'm making a strategic decision. Rushing in and attacking blindly is always foolish.

[Voice and vid]

[hesmypuddin]

But .. if your the grand pooba of it all .. why should ya doubt the men that serve under ya?

Re: [Voice and vid]

[peoplesprincess]

Because when the former Fire Lord ordered them to imprison me, they did it apparently without question.
