I did it. I succeeded in my mission. I don't care that I'm stuck in bed, or with a cast on my leg. It'll heal eventually, as it always does.

This is the best mood I've been in for some time, and I don't think anyone could knock me out of it if they tried. I have a feeling I'll end up bored and in need of something to do, so I suppose I'll take suggestions-- but for now, at least, even lying around doesn't feel dull.

What's the best way to cut through strong metal without damaging it? I gave away some of my old armor a while ago, but apparently it needs wing holes now, and I'd hate to see it ruined. I'm rather attached to it.

{LOCKED TO LILITH}

I told you I could. And this is just the beginning.

You don't need to worry; I'm strong enough for all of this.

...What? No. Why would I be jealous of that?

I like the older uniforms better anyway. The new ones lose the traditional vibe.

I was being flippant.

There's nothing wrong with our modern uniforms.

Oh.

I didn't say there was. But you had that lighter red color with that design with the dragon. Kuzon and I tried on his dad's once and it was pretty comfy

.... I guess I'm thinking pretty far back though that was before the redesign with the points and the faceplates and actual... war use. [ beat ] ...which is still pretty far back to you, I guess.

The modern ones are pretty?

They're not supposed to be pretty.

No no I know that. They're functional...! And meant to be scary.

Exactly. I think they do their job well.

Yeah. ...I still like the old ones better. Those had style.

And so do these.

Yeah. I'm just less partial to black that's all.

They have more red than black.

And actually, my old one is blue now.

But it's still red and black. ...Or like really dark red that kind of looks black depending on the lighting. It depends on which rank we're talking about. I like the trim though.

Blue is nice.

I like all of it.

I still think it looks better as red, but the blue isn't bad.

It's not bad looking. It's nice. I can't really say I like it though but that's coming from icky associations with that uniform so I guess I'm not one to judge on it.

Blue isn't bad at all. It's the style though it probably would look better as red. Or maybe like a dark pink...

I would never give it to someone who would turn it pink.

Not pink-pink. Muted red pink.

Still.

...What about purple?

No. A true Fire Nation uniform will never be anything but red. The blue is acceptable in this case, obviously, because it's not being used on that world in combat anymore. Besides, I like blue-- though I prefer a deeper shade.

I don't really like purple.

[colors are serious business]

Of course. Red is the color of the culture. ...Dark blue would look really nice now that you mention it. I think blue might be my favorite color.

What's wrong with purple?

[ so serious ]

The shade it is now is this (http://h8ersgonnah8.livejournal.com/3049.html). [linking to this video]

There's nothing wrong with purple, per se. It's just not a good color for military uniforms.

That's really neat! I like it.

Really? I'm not an expert on military uniforms so I'll take your word for it.

So do I.

Purple is one of the worst colors for them.

And the boots.

How come?

The boots were hers originally.

It'd be silly-looking.

I don't know how well they go with it but I really like those boots on their own.

I guess so. I think the Water Tribe had a almost-purple kind of blue once that looked okay.
