... Are all the trolls the same age? One told me that they had "reached their fifth wiggling day", whatever that means, and that that meant that they were between nine and twelve in human years.






I didn't just spend three days dating a nine-year-old, did I?

I can't come to visit France; I have to stay here because--

I saw them; they were stupid enough not to lock their conversation and I saw them talking; they're going to try to take me away and I have to stay here.

They can't have their petty little revenge. I need to be ready when they come for me.

[Azula is pacing again, and muttering to herself-- most of it's unintelligible, but some of it can be understood]

They don't want me. They accepted him and threw me away, and they thought I'd be just fine with it. Well, I'll show them. I'm not going to be fine with it. I'm going to--

... I'm going to keep doing amazing things.

[Then, louder:]

I'm going to keep doing amazing things.

[Suddenly she spins around and grabs her community book, speaking directly into it]

Do you hear me?

[The feed cuts in to show Azula sitting on her throne, clearly waiting for something; then two soldiers enter the room and bow, and one of them speaks]

Your Majesty, I'm afraid we have some grave news.

[Azula frowns]

Is it the Avatar?

... No, Fire Lord. It has to do with your lost allies, the soldiers Mai and Ty Lee.

[Azula freezes, and her face goes completely blank]

Go on.

We believe... we believe that we may have found their remains.

[video out]

[ooc: it's not really them; this is a plot for Setine to help get Brennan integrated 8)]

Sometimes I seriously wonder if all of you are this annoying on purpose. Maid cafes, talking animals that flirt with every woman in sight, and "anon memes"? Really? Is it too much to assume that the people here would have any standards at all? I'd say apparently so, considering the way you're all quickly becoming best friends with my mother. You did the same with Zuko; I think the majority of you will jump all over anyone who hates me. It's pathetic, really. And Father is still suffering under the delusion that if Mom decides that she wants me, I won't have any say in the matter-- which is absolutely ridiculous. Even if Lisa Dr. Cuddy finally decides to get rid of me, she is the last person I'd go with.

The next time I see her will be when I kill her.

It's just bruising; I don't need to be in a--

There aren't any guards here.

This is the last place I should have come. They want me dead here. They wanted to turn me over to Zuko, and if they think I can't fight in this position, they--

[Ragged breathing; she sounds almost teary, but not quite, like she's holding back tears of pure frustration]

He took it all. He burned it all; he-- it was mine.

You think I won't fight back? You think I'm just going to give up? It's MY COUNTRY!

( OOC )

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 )

Father.

They said I have it. I can't--

I'm the success; the one that matters. I'm important to you. You wouldn't allow me to die.

( OOC )

The Fire Nation has had quite a few enemies show up here lately.

It doesn't matter. Father's appearance far outdid all of that.
