To get from the Fire Nation (if possible/if necessary):

- Clothes-- especially underwear, chest wrappings, etc.
- Crown; hairpins; ribbon; elastics.
- Sheets, pillowcases (silk)?
- All the off-world technology (tape recorders; digital camera; batteries; detergent).
- ~~Guns.~~ Unnecessary. Destroy them instead.
- Food? Non-perishables.
- Soap; shampoo; nail polish and clippers; towels; etc.
- War documents-- need to stay informed.
- Worldhopping feather, naturally.
- Money.

To figure out:

- Where to stay long-term (if necessary) when I'm out of the hospital.
- How long Dr. Cuddy's offer lasts.
- How long anyone else's offers ~~not Zelda's~~ last, for when Dr. Cuddy's expires.
- The ulterior motives of those who are offering free asylum.
- ... Dr. Cuddy's ulterior motives, for that matter.
- The mindset of my armies: how much it would take to turn them back to my side.
- Who on the community might be willing to send mercenary soldiers (ShinRa?).
- ~~How to--~~
- A plan.

OOC: She wrote this up just for her own reference and left it unposted, but the community posted it anyway. Location isn't visible ICly, AND ALSO YUE-- I'm fine with you saying that Ozai destroyed anything on that list of hers, but it'd be awesome if you could tell me what is still there, so that I know what she can ICly get on her ninja!mission to the Fire Nation.

Because I'm fond of you, of course.

No you're not.

I have to go myself.

It's not wise to tell people how they do and do not feel, Azula. Not wise at all.

You're fond of what you want me to be-- sad; pathetic; needy.

Now you're just making assumptions. That's not how I feel about you at all.

You're a girl blossoming into a young woman, experiencing hormones and growing up. But you're also a strong leader and apparently a fair ruler. What's happened with Ozai is a shame, and you shouldn't have had to go through that. No one should. Just because you're of noble lineage doesn't make you all that different from the rest of us, you know. You still have wants, desires, needs, love, anger, rage, all of it. You're not immune to it like you seem to want to be. It's all right to ask for help if you need it. It's not pathetic or needy at all. It's normal. It's human.

We aren't perfect. We're all fallible. All of us, each and everyone of us, Azula. That's all.

I'm not normal. I'm different; better. Perfect.

No; no you're not. No one is.

I am.

You're going to have to grow up and accept that fact before you can get anywhere.

Don't you dare call me a child!

I already am somewhere. If I had "accepted" imperfection in myself, I wouldn't be the Fire Lord.

I never called you a child. Plenty of adults need to grow up as well.

No one's perfect. That's a fact of life.

I am. I've made sure of it, and I won't accept anything less.

You've deluded yourself, then; it's impossible for anyone to be perfect. Not even the gods themselves are such a thing.

I'm not deluded. I don't allow weakness. It's as simple as that.

You've lied and deluded yourself for so long you can't recognize it. And now it's coming back to bite you in the butt. NO ONE IS PERFECT.

You're wrong.
