Who the hell would do THAT!? I mean, it's rude and it's liable to get someone killed.

Some idiot from this place who then had the gall to get indignant over me kicking him out.

...Takes all kinds, I guess. Eris wasn't kidding when she said she did chaos.

It wasn't Eris.

No, but she's probably laughing at it...

Ah. I see the post now. WHAT a douchebag.

I don't care what Eris is or isn't laughing about.

The rest of the community seems to find it hilarious enough.

The rest of the community can go fuck themselves.

... I agree, albeit with less crude language.

I always use proper language: sometimes the only proper language for a fucking vulgar situation is fucking vulgar.

I see.

Who are you?

Captian Joshua Castellano Preston, Treasure Island ANIMa Corps. A soldier in a Resistance against an inhuman foe.

And you would be?

Fire Lord Azula of the Fire Nation.

I'm a soldier, too.

"Fire Lord?" Sounds like you're the brass - uh, command; they wear brass rank pins.

"Fire Lord" is the title of the leader of the Fire Nation.

...Daamn. Uh, is there an official mode of address I should be using, madam?

[...]

"Fire Lord" or "Your Majesty". Either are considered to be acceptable.

Sorry, your Majesty. Didn't realize.

Uh, take it your world is not as high tech as mine is. Like, iron weapons and sailing ships and such.

... That's true. How did you guess?

The kind of rank system you use. "Lord" is pretty archaic in my world, and "Fire..." is a bit too poetic. "Grenadier" or "Rifleman" - describing WHAT you do - is more what our 'modern' military... did.

The title "Fire Lord" is derived from our country name, "Fire Nation"-- which is in turn derived from our elemental abilities.

Does your world have "presidents" rather than lords or kings?

...It did, Before. Uh, before the invasion.

Now we've got my da, who calls himself the Colonel. It fits, I guess. I'm not really any more of a Captian than he's a Colonel.

Elemental abilities? ...you from Katara's world?

She's a waterbender. An enemy.

...Right.

... Why aren't you "any more of a captain than he is a colonel"?

It's mostly for morale. I lead another Pilot into combat, above me is the Major (who leads my squad and one of her own), and then the Colonel.

We'd probably be much lower rank in the US Marines, if they were still around.
