[Hello, Wonderland! Is this thing on? The angle of this video indicates the guy in the distance speaking has no idea it's on. Either that or he doesn't know what that strange metal thing is on the ground.]
Aang, Katara, Toph?
[And why would he? His world doesn't have anything electrical-powered! To him, it was like a piece of scrap metal lying on the

Uh..Hey, it's Zuko.
..we're not home anymore. You're gonna think I'm crazy, but..this isn't our world. Someone, or something kidnapped us and shoved us here.

What? Where are you?
[Zuko, you truely are the master of awkward greetings. Sokka would appreciate it if your voice weren't seemingly coming from out of nowhere. But as Zuko continues talking, his gaze finally falls on the communicator. ...Really? What's going on here?]
Whoa, what? First off, why's your voice coming from a box?
[Seriously, what is that thing? Sokka's good with technology, but he's never seen anything powered like this? What is it? Why does it work this way? Sokka picks up the communicator and looks at it a bit too closely. Wait.]
Secondly, what?
[He's had enough experience running from this guy to be able to tell he's not really the joking type. But if this isn't a joke, what's going on here? Now come the big questions.Why aren't we at Boiling Rock? Why aren't we out saving dad?! See, this is why I didn't ( ... )

I'm inside the mansion in front of you. The box is like..uh..a machine that lets people here communicate. Yeah....I don't understand it either.
..I think it's better if I explain everything to you in person. I'll come find you, okay?
[Wait, is he getting blamed, derppp?]
It wasn't my fault. No one knows why we're here or what exactly is going on.
..Oh, and Katara's here, but no one else from home is.
[anddd he's on his way to collect the peasant Sokka.]

What? Why?
[The pieces keep on falling.]

[Wait. You mean people can communicate here without having to walk to each other, travel via magical flying bison, or send messenger birds? THAT. IS. AWESOME. Or, at least, Sokka would be thinking that if he weren't trying to put the pieces together.
He'll be more thoroughly looking at his communicator later, after he figures out this place. He has so many questions to ask it's ridiculous.]
Yeah, I guess we need to meet up.
[The one time he doesn't plan things out and they end up completely off course. Just great. He should've done this alone! ...But if it weren't for Zuko suggesting they take his war balloon, how else would he have made it there in the first place? He really should've thought about this more!
This was just going to be one long awkward conversation wasn't i--]

Where is she? In the mansion?
[Damn it, he has so many questions! He's being twisted all over the place. Family comes first, but he's been thrown into this place, and the pieces are still falling around him.]

The mansion doesn't look that far away, and I'm by this maze thing. I'll meet up with you there. You better have some answers.
[You know, despite saying no one really knows what's going on. There's gotta at least be some information on this.]
Reply
Yeah, she's in the mansion. You'll probably hear from her soon over this thing.
[wtf else is he supposed to call that shit son.]
[- and wait, maze? He knows where that is. Zuko wanders off towards it, and his next response is to Sokka in person.]
..I'll start by telling you that we're stuck here for now. The only way out of this place is random. People just..uh..disappear and end up back in their own worlds, just like coming here.
Reply
If not, I'm finding some way to contact her.
[Or he'll not so calmly search every room in the mansion. The first priority is making sure his little sister is okay, but he needs information just as much. That way, he can find everyone a way out of here and--
Sokka'll come up with a nice nickname for the communicator soon, don't worry. When the situation's not as confusing, anyway.]
And what about the others? Do they know we're missing?
[Nope, Sokka's going to be thinking of ways around that information.]
There has to be a way back to them and a way to save dad! We were on our way there! What happened? What is this place? There has to be more to it than that! And what do you mean about worlds?
Reply
[He lowers his gaze sadly.]
There isn't. I've tried everything.
[Wait, save dad? His eyes widen. Sokka's from a different time than him, too. God, now he's yelling at him, but he understands his frustration.]
No one knows what happens to bring us here or why we're here. I told you that.
I do know this place is called Wonderland.
[pause.]
Oh..and worlds are like..uh..universes?
[Yeah, he's learned a whole lot being here for a month.]
Reply
You apparently haven't! If there's a way in there has to be a way out! Even the spirit world has a way out!
[Oh, you thought he was yelling before now. Now you've got an incredibly pissed off Sokka, and this guy doesn't exactly think clearly like this. Maybe it's a family trait.]
Well, I asking because I don't accept it! How does anyone even know that if they don't even know why we're here? How can anyone even be sure that time isn't still passing?!
Oh, that's good! At least we know what this place is called! That's one thing we can just happily be sure of!
[No. He can't just not think about this. He can't just accept this. Every day he spends here is going to weigh over his head.So, basically, what you're telling me is some weird force just decided one day, "Hey, you know what ( ... )
Reply
Hey! I've tried everything from trying to overthrow Wonderland's ruler to sailing for hours in the ocean nearby just to end up back here. There isn't a way out. Don't you think I want to get home just as badly?
Like I said, people have disappeared, come back, and said what happened to them. Maybe we can't be sure of what they saw, but all the stories are consistent.
[And you know what he does to respond to Sokka's huge rant about some weird force? He looks away and nods bitterly.]
..I know, it's frustrating.
Reply
No, you said that people come here, "go back home", then come back here with no memory at all!
[He's really freaking out right now, if it weren't any indication. But, somehow, some of Zuko's mood rubs off on him. The information is setting in. The pieces are starting to settle. Maybe he can start arranging them soon.]
They really picked the best time ever for us, didn't they?
Reply
[beat.]
um..Yeah
..Sokka, there's something else I need to tell you. Sometimes..this place takes people from different times.
Sozin's comet was already there when I was taken.
We rescued your father and Suki at Boiling Rock a while ago..
[hey sokka how does he know her name if he's lyin??? ;3]
Reply
[Eh. What?!]
Okay, it's official. This thing, whatever brought us here, has no common sense at all! Or it has to be messing with us!
[He just listens when Zuko goes on, only gesturing a hand to indicate he's interested.]
Reply
Wait. This was good news, so you'd think he'd be excited, right? No, he's got to process this first. He was right about his father being there, and they had even saved Suki along with him!]
