{VIDEO POST; FORWARD-DATED TO FRIDAY MORNING}

[bentflame]

[Azula is lying in a hospital bed, bandages wrapped around her shoulder and abdomen. She stirs a little, giving a slight groan, and opens her eyes. Her hand goes up to her face for a second, then she glances around the room as much as she can from her position.]

Lisa...?

[But then she realizes that she's not at Princeton-Plainsboro-- or any hospital she's been in before, for that matter.]

What's going on?

OOC: I'm not sure how much I'm going to be around on the official end-event day (Friday), so I wanted to get this post done while I still have time to respond to comments. Sorry if it's confusing, but I won't be forward-dating comments outside of this entry or making any other posts, so it shouldn't be too bad. :P

You're not as good as you think, Azula.

If I didn't like you, you'd be dead right now. I would've put a bullet between your eyes the moment you came after me, instead of your shoulder.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

I'm am every bit as good as I think.

[reliablekiller.livejournal.com]

Then why do you have a bullet hole in the shoulder? Why isn't anyone you went after dead?

You can say anything you want about yourself, but results are the only message that matters.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

I wasn't doing any of that of my own volition! I have NO IDEA what happened or didn't happen, and why!

[reliablekiller.livejournal.com]

That Doctor woman...whom I am going to have words with...stuck some drug in you. If I had to guess, it's the stuff from her wrecked city that everyone is addicted to. You went nuts, world-hopped, and tried to kill a bunch of people.

Including me. You burned down half a small park before I managed to stop you.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

I'm not going to have words with her, I'm going to KILL her.

[reliablekiller.livejournal.com]

As much as you never, ever listen, I need you to not kill her.

There are some orphan girls in her city I am making arrangements for. I cannot get them out without her.

[locked]

Once I have, you can burn the whole damn city down while you kill her, for all I care.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

You'd better do it quickly then, because I'm going after her as soon as I'm out of here.

[reliablekiller.livejournal.com]

How long are they saying you need to heal, anyway?

I was pretty sure the bullet did a through-and-through...

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

I don't know; not long.

If she killed Dr. Cuddy then I'll leave NOW, no matter what you say.

[reliablekiller.livejournal.com]

Really now? Do people from your world heal fast?

...

If she killed your friend, I understand. Just warn me first.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

No, Ty Lee's alive.

[reliablekiller.livejournal.com]

I meant Cuddy.

'Friend' seemed a more diplomatic term then 'foster mother.'

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

She's not my--

Just shut up.

[reliablekiller.livejournal.com]

You live with her, rent free, and she provides food and shelter while you avoid your real parents.

But I did say friend first.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

I'm staying with her.

... And if she thinks I did this of my own volition she'll probably kick me out, so I suppose I might as well just say I used to stay with her.

[reliablekiller.livejournal.com]

Whatever you say.

I do not think you have to worry about that. There was a conversation between her and that Doctor on here earlier. So I would guess she knows it was not your fault.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

You don't know that. She could very well change her mind anyway, now that she's seen what I can do if I wish to.

[reliablekiller.livejournal.com]

Does she really seem like the type of person who would do that, Azula?

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

How should I know?

[reliablekiller.livejournal.com]

...you live with her. You trust her enough that you sleep there. She trusts You enough that she lets you.

We learn about the people we are close to.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

... You're pathetic.

She'll probably die anyway.

[reliablekiller.livejournal.com]

You're a 'trained firebender' who apparently doesn't know enough to learn how to figure out how to know what the people around her think.

And yet I'm pathetic?

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

I know what people think.

[reliablekiller.livejournal.com]

And yet you seem quite uncertain about what Doctor Cuddy will do.
