{PURPOSEFULLY FAILED LOCK TO OZAI}

[bentflame]

How far the once-mighty Fire Lord Ozai has fallen. Six years ago, who would have guessed that he would soon be reduced to acting like a common criminal-- attacking the ruler who so graciously granted his request for a visit, and mindlessly howling for punishment and execution?

The burn on my face is inconsequential. While the one on my arm is quite a bit more serious, I plan on continuing on with my duties as Fire Lord. Changing the bandages is messy, and training is always a bit more difficult with second-degree burns down one arm, but I was well aware of the risks that come with dealing with highly unstable, irrational prisoners-- because that is what you've become.

I've left this visible to you and only you, so that you have a chance to rethink your actions in private. I've already told you that you're treading on very thin ice; it's only fair to allow you to away from the other community members-- whose opinions seem to matter to you quite a lot.

Never let it be said that Fire Lord Azula was an unjust ruler.

OOC: Reference! And yes Ozai, she is trying to embarrass you. Watch it NOT WORK AT ALL. 8)

I wouldn't be so sure. I can make locked posts pretty reliably.

[locked]

Any idea what he was up to?

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

So can I-- sometimes. It's not very reliable at all.

{LOCKED}

He's trying to destroy my honor.

[oceanicbutterfly]

Maybe it's just you.

[locked]

And betting, presumably, that doing so will be enough to keep you from actually killing him.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

It's this machine, more likely.

{LOCKED}

Or that doing so will cause my citizens to sympathize with him more.

[oceanicbutterfly]

What, it has something against you?

[locked]

That wouldn't do him much good if he was already dead, though, and I highly doubt he simply failed to realize that.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

I'm hardly the only one.

{LOCKED}

No, he's not an idiot. He probably thinks that there would be a coup of some sort, and I would be removed from power by his supporters.

[oceanicbutterfly]

You're the most consistent.

[locked]

I presume you're watching out for such things.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Not really.

{LOCKED}

I'm not an idiot.

[locked]

[oceanicbutterfly]

Thus why I presumed you were already doing it.

Re: [locked]

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Then why did you feel the need to bring it up?

Re: [locked]

[oceanicbutterfly]

It seemed like a reasonable response.

Re: [locked]

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Hmmm.

Re: [locked]

[oceanicbutterfly]

Hmmmm?

Go away now.
