{FAILED LOCK FROM OZAI}

If Father still hasn't been caught by the weekend of the nineteenth I won't be able to leave.

The Fire Nation. I can't exactly take a vacation when a formidable criminal is at large, especially one with his eyes on my throne.

Don't you have like guards or something, to help you out there?

And where are you gonna go?

[identity profile] peoplesprincess.livejournal.com 2009-09-02 10:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Of course.

Nowhere, if it takes that long for him to be caught.

[identity profile] 8fingerswhiskey.livejournal.com 2009-09-02 10:26 pm (UTC)(link)
How long could it possibly take? The guys still on your world, its not like he can go anywhere without someones help.

[identity profile] peoplesprincess.livejournal.com 2009-09-02 10:29 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't expect it to take that long, but I'm not ruling out the possibility.

You think I'm terrified of not being able to leave the Fire Nation?

[identity profile] fierysire.livejournal.com 2009-09-03 12:10 am (UTC)(link)
You really just confirmed what I alread knew.

[identity profile] fierysire.livejournal.com 2009-09-03 12:15 am (UTC)(link)
That you're afraid. Which is why you aren't leaving. Really, I only escaped because you came into my cell without any back up. You practically invited me to escape.

[identity profile] peoplesprincess.livejournal.com 2009-09-03 12:16 am (UTC)(link)
I didn't want to speak to you with guards around.

I'm not afraid. I'm just not foolish. I'm not going to just abandon the Fire Nation when there's a criminal at large.

[identity profile] fierysire.livejournal.com 2009-09-03 12:24 am (UTC)(link)
Then, you should have had them there but out of earshot! It was far too easy.

I'm not some criminal.

[identity profile] peoplesprincess.livejournal.com 2009-09-03 12:25 am (UTC)(link)
There are always guards in the prison. I just didn't bring extras.

You tried to kill the Fire Lord.

[identity profile] fierysire.livejournal.com 2009-09-03 12:35 am (UTC)(link)
There's a reason I let you live.

[identity profile] peoplesprincess.livejournal.com 2009-09-03 12:37 am (UTC)(link)
You didn't let me live, I let you live! Your status as former Fire Lord was the only thing that saved you from the noose.

[identity profile] fierysire.livejournal.com 2009-09-03 12:39 am (UTC)(link)
I could have killed you. Easily.

[identity profile] fierysire.livejournal.com 2009-09-03 12:45 am (UTC)(link)
Because it was far easy.

[identity profile] peoplesprincess.livejournal.com 2009-09-03 12:47 am (UTC)(link)
And sending an assassin wasn't?

[identity profile] peoplesprincess.livejournal.com 2009-09-03 01:10 am (UTC)(link)
What do you want, an Agni Kai?

[identity profile] peoplesprincess.livejournal.com 2009-09-03 02:11 am (UTC)(link)
Then what?

[identity profile] ofhopeandglory.livejournal.com 2009-09-03 04:38 pm (UTC)(link)
So just make sure that he is.

[identity profile] ofhopeandglory.livejournal.com 2009-09-03 07:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Who have you got looking for him?

[identity profile] peoplesprincess.livejournal.com 2009-09-03 07:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Those loyal to me, obviously.

[identity profile] ofhopeandglory.livejournal.com 2009-09-03 07:51 pm (UTC)(link)
That isn't particularly specific.

[identity profile] peoplesprincess.livejournal.com 2009-09-03 07:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Police. Soldiers. Everyday citizens; I have wanted posters out.

[identity profile] ofhopeandglory.livejournal.com 2009-09-03 08:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Does the Fire Nation have any spy networks, out of interest?

[identity profile] peoplesprincess.livejournal.com 2009-09-03 08:14 pm (UTC)(link)
We have spies, but nothing is separate and centralized. Why do you ask?

[identity profile] ofhopeandglory.livejournal.com 2009-09-03 08:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Only because a well-run spy network can be and has been a great asset to rulers in the past on my world. They've helped to foil assassination plots and in some case catch or convict dangerous traitors. I was just wondering if you've considered anything like that.

[identity profile] peoplesprincess.livejournal.com 2009-09-03 08:42 pm (UTC)(link)
We have soldiers for that sort of thing, and as I said, we do have spies. I've operated as one myself, in the past.

[identity profile] ofhopeandglory.livejournal.com 2009-09-03 08:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Soldiers are all very well, but they're not always subtle enough.

Maybe you should consider training full-time spies.

[identity profile] peoplesprincess.livejournal.com 2009-09-03 09:01 pm (UTC)(link)
That's why we don't use them for subtlety.

We have full time spies. We just don't have an organized network for them.

[identity profile] ofhopeandglory.livejournal.com 2009-09-03 09:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Then an organised network might be something to consider using to your advantage in the future, perhaps.

[identity profile] peoplesprincess.livejournal.com 2009-09-03 09:48 pm (UTC)(link)
It's unneeded. And spies wouldn't be useful for catching Fire Lord Ozai, anyway.

[identity profile] peoplesprincess.livejournal.com 2009-09-03 10:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Which is why I know more about how to run it than you do.
