017 [video]
[When the feed clicks on, Jet looks more than tired. He's exhausted and drained, physically and emotionally. He's also given up trying to hide it. He scratches at his eye with the heel of his hand and looks up to the PCD, pausing as though unsure what it was he wanted to say. He turned it on for something, right? Or had it turned itself on again? He can't say he remembers, but he does choose to speak. The words that come out are hollow and raspy, soft and barely audible. He slumps forward on the table, folding his arms to hide their shakiness.]
Know I've been here a while...but I just wanna pass time. A lot of it. What's there to do or....does anyone need me to do anything?
[His eyes linger on the lens for a few moments blankly.]
Hey Katara...come in the kitchen.
[Thinking....thinking. Alright. He's out of things to say-- he'll cut the feed.]
[Fail!Filtered to Katara some 12 hours later:]
[When the feed turns back on, one can see a very disheveled Jet pacing back and forth across his room. He pulls his shirt over his head and starts scanning the room for his swords with impatient eyes. He’s pretty sure he put this filter up just not right.]
You drugged me?! You think that’s the only solution to what was happening?! "Oh, let’s take advantage of his trust in me to force him to sleep when he doesn’t want to"?! I only drank that disgusting medicine because you said you were worried about me, but noo, there had to be something behind it, right? Slipping something in my drink is the perfect way to get exactly what you want!
[When he finds his swords, he puts them over his shoulder and behind his back, pushing his hair back with his hand and approaching the PCD he had been yelling to while aimlessly wandering the room.]
You have issues, Katara! You don’t just-- I’m done listening to your concerns! Every time I go out, I’ll make sure not to eat or drink whatever you try to force down my throat! Maybe I will get dehydrated and it can all go back to you because what you’re giving me is tampered with! In fact, I'm gonna go do that right now, okay?
[Cue Jet picking up the PCD and heading for the door.]
