{ACCIDENTAL VIDEO POST} AZULA'S ADVENTURES IN AMERICAN TELEVISION

[bentflame]

[Here we have Azula coming down the stairs at Cuddy's house, going into the kitchen to make herself a cup of tea before going back home. While waiting for the water to boil she stops to turn on the television, just because she can. Flipping through the channels, lalala... there's a baseball game, some cop show, an stylistic sequence of someone firebending-- WAIT A SECOND. She flips back to that, and curiously begins to watch what is, of course, the intro to the television show Avatar: The Last Airbender (which I looked for all over YouTube and COULD NOT FIND; it's all fan-made openings, sob).]

[When the opening titles end and she speaks, she sounds annoyed-- and genuinely surprised:]

It takes the Avatar's side?

It will be a good one.

[pandorabox]

Oh, so it's not a good one now.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

The end justifies the means.

[pandorabox]

Normally I'd agree with that statement, but not when it comes to war.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Right, of course, it only applies to situations that you're personally involved in. I should have guessed.

[pandorabox]

Engaging in war with other nations because you think it's in their best interest isn't an appropriate means to anything, Azu-baka.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

I'm not doing it because it's in their best interest. That's just a side effect.

[pandorabox]

'Spreading your glory' isn't a very good reason to engage in war either.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Not in your mind, perhaps. But then, I already know your morality is skewed-- you come from a world where thieves are idolized and cheered on, after all.

[pandorabox]

Not all of them, just that one!

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

And we don't advocate starting wars willy-nilly; just this one.

[pandorabox]

You can't use that comparison. There's a huge difference, Azu-baka. Thousands of people die in your war. No one gets hurt at a Kaitou Kid heist.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Thievery is a crime.

[pandorabox]

No one dies.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

It's still a crime.

[pandorabox]

As is murder.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Of course-- but war isn't murder.

[pandorabox]

It can be.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

It isn't in this case.

[pandorabox]

The other nations don't see it like that.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

That's their problem.

[pandorabox]

That line of thinking is your problem.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

It's not a problem at all.

[pandorabox]

Yes it is.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

It really isn't.
