Death (Except Not Really)

OOC: Aftermath of this.

Azula had never considered her own death before- not seriously, at any rate. The possibility that she would die in battle had never crossed her mind (why would it, when she spent most of her time fighting a ragtag group of children?), but then again, she had to admit that she had never been able to see herself withering away and dying of old age; going without a fight.

Quietly, Azula took stock of her situation. After Richard had left and she had collapsed, her legs (which were, of course, still frozen to the ground) had almost been wrenched out of their sockets by her fall. Her arms, too, had hit the ground rather hard, and this time she hadn't been able to keep from crying out quite loudly. His parting gift- an iceball straight to the gut- left her with an unsettlingly sharp pain in her stomach that hurt more than anything else when she tried to move even just the slightest bit. She didn't want to know what that was all about. Her only comfort was the reminder that her opponent had been seriously injured himself- she doubted that he would recover from her attack.

It really wasn't a bad day- it was quite nice out, actually. The sun was shining. The grass was soft. There were worse places to die, really.

Azula was alone. No one was coming for her; no one even knew she was here, save from that one kitchen boy who had seen her heading out- and it wasn't as if he was going to come searching for her when she didn't return.

The virus would probably have worn off by the time her funeral took place. She wondered if Ty Lee would go.

OOC: And FYI- she's not really going to die (I can't even read deathfic most of the time), she just thinks she is. If no one shows up to rescue her then I'll... figure something out? XD

((OOC: I was thinking about this. D'you want Ty Lee to show up, thinking to watch Richard lose? And then post a "..I need help and a healer to come over right away, something's wrong!" post? Or something?))

If you want to do that, that's fine with me. :)

If her new attitude was a virus, as many people thought it was, it had turned out to be a good virus. Ty Lee wanted to be close and Azula's attitude the previous night wasn't enough. Bad karma and all.

Ty Lee had returned to the palace, and started asking questions as to the whereabouts of the princess. No one knew where she was, then, a kitchen boy stepped forward. A bit of...talking later, Ty Lee knew where Azula had been heading. An off chance, but it was worth looking into.

Ty Lee was fast, she had been trained to be, and the feild...oh. There Azula was...Ty Lee's heart skipped a beat. That didn't look promising. Was...

She ran.

((And here's my response. <3))

Azula thought she heard someone approaching. She turned her head to the side, trying to see who it was (and even that hurt a bit). When she spoke, her voice was quiet and- as much as she hated to admit it- weak.

"... Ty Lee?"

OOC: I didn't know whether "she ran" indicated towards Azula or away from her, so I kept it ambiguous. ;)

[identity profile] hotpinkaura.livejournal.com 2008-07-08 08:56 pm (UTC)(link)
There was a sound. Ty Lee couldn't hear what it was but that meant...that was at least somewhat good.

Doing a quick sumersault to speed her journey along, Ty Lee got much closer and faintly she was scared. "Oh...Azula..."

[identity profile] peoplesprincess.livejournal.com 2008-07-08 09:00 pm (UTC)(link)
"Ty Lee." Her vision was slightly blurry, and out of focus- it appeared to her as if two girls were standing in front of her, weaving in and out of each other. She squinted slightly, and they solidified.

[identity profile] hotpinkaura.livejournal.com 2008-07-08 09:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Azula looked bad, Ty Lee knew some about how the body worked. She had to, her fighting style demanded it. From her knowledge, there was something wrong. "Oh..."

[identity profile] peoplesprincess.livejournal.com 2008-07-08 09:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Azula took a deep breath. Trying to talk made her light-headed.

"Arms broken. Internal in-injuries...

"Dying..."

[identity profile] hotpinkaura.livejournal.com 2008-07-08 09:19 pm (UTC)(link)
"Don't talk, it'll be worse."

Ty Lee crouched down, ignoring what Azula said last..it wouldn't get that bad. "I need help."

[identity profile] peoplesprincess.livejournal.com 2008-07-08 09:20 pm (UTC)(link)
"Ty Lee...

"Don't go anywhere."

[identity profile] hotpinkaura.livejournal.com 2008-07-08 09:25 pm (UTC)(link)
"I...I can't do anything. Don't talk, it'll make it worse."

[identity profile] peoplesprincess.livejournal.com 2008-07-08 09:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Nobody can do anything, you idiot. "Ty Lee... stay here." Azula tried to focus on her face, but her vision was spotty. She wanted to reach up and touch her face, but she couldn't feel her arms any more, much less move them.

[identity profile] hotpinkaura.livejournal.com 2008-07-08 09:39 pm (UTC)(link)
"Sh." She got up, nervously circling the princess. Would it be easier...? No. The royal doctors could...they couldn't come in time. "I'll stay, just...don't try to move."

[identity profile] peoplesprincess.livejournal.com 2008-07-08 10:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Azula tried to follow Ty Lee with her eyes, but the strain to to be too much and she had to close them.

Ohmy, and she's going to get blown up by Maraich, too?

Azula's having a bad month.

Also, Ganondorf is probably going to kidnap her someday and try to make her a slave. She's having a very bad month, indeed. XD

Nah, I wouldn't kill her. Like I said, I fall apart reading deathfic; I'm not sure if I could write a death scene. XD

Yep, Ty Lee's pretty much got it taken care of... I think they're going to worldhop her to a hospital on Karen's world. Thanks for the offer, though. :)

Ty Lee stopped, as if she remembered something. Crouching down again at Azula's side, she realized that there was no blood. She calmed herself before taking a closer look, without touching, at Azula's closest arm.

[identity profile] peoplesprincess.livejournal.com 2008-07-09 01:41 am (UTC)(link)
Azula knew that broken limbs, while painful, weren't deadly. It was the mysterious pain in her gut and the way she was fighting to stay conscious that had her worried.

She took a painful, shuddering breath. "Ty Lee..."

[identity profile] hotpinkaura.livejournal.com 2008-07-09 02:00 am (UTC)(link)
Broken limbs wouldn't do that much damage. Not to Azula. Never to Azula. What had she said...Internal. Oh. That would...explain it. Of all people, Ty Lee knew more about how to inflict internal wounds than most. How to stop the heart, the lungs, to disrupt bending. There were quite a few ailments that could lead to death.

Ty Lee could try to stop it, whatever it was. Her healing skill was not that great, but maybe she could halt it enough to gain enough time to get help. "I thought-" The dying were said to...Azula wasn't dying, that was foolishness. But if she thought she was dying, then maybe it was best to humor her. "Yes, Azula."

[identity profile] peoplesprincess.livejournal.com 2008-07-09 02:20 am (UTC)(link)
Azula tried several times to speak, but she couldn't manage it- attempting to talk just wore her out, and made her dizzy. She didn't even know exactly what she wanted to say- only that she wanted to say a lot. Finally, she settled for something short, and marginally unrelated.

"You thought what?"

She wondered if she had spoken loud enough for Ty Lee to hear- she could barely hear her own voice herself. But then again, everything was starting to sound far away now, like she was listening to the world from behind a thick, wooden door.

[identity profile] hotpinkaura.livejournal.com 2008-07-09 02:35 am (UTC)(link)
The response was weak, Azula's voice faint. Ty Lee heard it but barely. That couldn't have been a good sign. "I thought I told you not to talk, Azula. Save your energy."

Focusing, Ty Lee tried to locate the disturbance, hopefully something she correct, if not...In a fit of inspiration, Ty Lee had brought along a bag with food and the "laptop". The community might help...a doctor or someone.

Ty Lee glanced back at Azula, gasping slightly. "White."

[identity profile] peoplesprincess.livejournal.com 2008-07-09 02:39 am (UTC)(link)
Azula sighed. Even that hurt. And she was starting to get cold, despite the fact that the sun was out in full force, shining in her eyes. She shivered.

"... White?"

OOC: Even though she has the chills, she'll be hot to the touch, because I'm giving her the beginnings of a pretty bad fever. *is evil*

[identity profile] hotpinkaura.livejournal.com 2008-07-09 03:01 am (UTC)(link)
Shivering? The day was warm-Ty Lee checked Azula's temperture. Hot. Fever? Oh, that was just great.

"White in your aura. Means death. Hush."
