25 - [video] Presents?

[forged_anew]

[Zuko is seen, decked out in his Fire Nation garb and looking rather pleased about it. No more sweatpants and t-shirts for him! For now, at least.]

I guess a lot of people are getting things they want. No flamethrower though.

Any idea who's doing this?

[He also holds up a bag of something, shaking it at the camera]

For some reason, I got a bunch of tea

Comments

[foxtamer]

Those suit you much better. Flamethrower? Well, I do have explosive tags, if you're really not that picky.

[video]

[forged_anew]

They're a lot more comfortable.

[he swings his arms experimentally, smiling a little, then shrugs]

Oh, I was just talking to Katara about it a bit ago. She got a watergun. What I really want is my Firebending back.

[video]

[foxtamer]

You look a lot more comfortable.

[Minato snickers.] Did she at least get a decent water gun? And I want my own abilities back.. I know how you feel.

[video]

[forged_anew]

[shrug]

I guess it was okay. I don't know, I haven't used one.

[siiigh]

They can't find it. The chip. It's... moved, or something.

[video]

[foxtamer]

We don't have guns in my world, but we do have water guns. Odd, don't you think?

[And then Minato grows serious. He sounds a bit saddened for him.]

Zuko....

[video]

[forged_anew]

Yeah, same.

It's fine. I'll keep trying. I need my Bending back.

Re: [video]

[foxtamer]

I think I like them better, anyways. It's no loss.

[Minato sighs, crossing his arms.] You and me both. I want to know if I can use any of Aang's abilities, having a similar element in my world.

[video]

[forged_anew]

Is yours in a different place too?

I still think that's weird if you live in the Fire Country.

[video]

[foxtamer]

I haven't had mine out, yet--the infections made me want to wait. I should do that soon. I want to begin lessons, first, however. That's more useful to the city than having my chip out. [First time he's mentioned lessons!]

Heh, it is kinda weird, once you think about it. It gets even weirder if you think about how we have a Fire Temple run by monks.

[video]

[forged_anew]

Yeah... that'd be a good reason to wait...

Are you starting official fighting lessons?

[...]

What? That's just... That's different.

[video]

[foxtamer]

[He gives Zuko a saddened look for a moment--he understands. He lets his face lighten, however, as he goes back to the other subject]

Yes. Three of them, actually. A general martial arts class, one working with kunai, and another about how to avoid the general monster population.

[Minato snickers.]

Normal where I'm from!

[video]

[forged_anew]

General martial arts, huh? Uncle leads a class like that in the gym. The kunai one sounds useful, but do you have enough for a whole class of people?

[have a weird look and eyebrow-raise]

Your world sounds interesting.

[video]

[foxtamer]

I'm working with your uncle, actually! And yes, I do.. they seemed to have appeared like your outfit did.

[Minato looks so very amused.]

Your world sounds interesting.

[video]

[forged_anew]

Oh, okay. Huh. Guess a lot of people are getting random things. You think it's a little suspicious?

[Meh. Zuko still looks skeptic]

At least it makes sense.

[video]

[foxtamer]

... Now that you mention it, yes. It is a bit suspicious. And Aang got Momo.

[Minato chuckles.]

The politics are easier, anyways, I'd bet.

[video]

[forged_anew]

Yeah, I saw that. He seemed happy.

[He makes a face]

I'd hardly call any politics easy.
