WHO "Adra" & YOU
BROADCAST Fleet-wide video!
ACTION Starstruck or waystations.
WHEN Tomorrow, April 19th. (Which means post-shuffle.)

Okay, as it turns out... it's really hard to get in contact with people when you don't have their names or their ships or their numbers. But—I'm trying this responsibility thing and I want to give those powers back. The ones I had to borrow last week? But I can't find any of you! Good job. Bunch of winners here.

[ SIGH. ]

Right, okay, I'm not who I look like, either. Not... Adra. Actually asked him beforehand, too, so fuck off about that. But if you gave your powers away last week, that was me. Let's see... Allen, Katara, and, uh, two short blondes. About so-high. [ Yep, there's a motion here for Steffa and Shirley's heights. SURPRISE, SHIRLEY. ] Let me know where you are, and I'll give them back. Like I said I would.

Sokka! Don't challenge a shapeshifting power stealer! Especially before he gives the powers back!

[THATS DUMB TOO]

[alwayscomeback]

Oh, trust me, he's gonna give your powers back.

[So dumb, such rage.]

[save_the_souls]

Yes, he even volunteered to do so!

[Another huff. He hates this entire situation, but gosh being a good person is nagging at him. STUPID.]

Look - I'm pissed at him too, but he's returning the powers and owned up that he's not this Adra person he looks like right now. So...what if his story is true? That he actually needs to hold onto powers for a bit to survive? Won't that mean he'll have to do this again eventually?

And what if he's lying? He can't even show his real face, doesn't that tell you something?

[save_the_souls]

It doesn't make me inclined to trust him with my secrets or money, no.

[haha who are we kidding he trusts no one with his money]

But I suppose I might be scared to show my real face too if I had an ability like that, with that cost.

[alwayscomeback]

Yeah, and how well will that work in the long term? It's not like there's a lot of us. He'd have run out of faces eventually.

It doesn't matter about being scared. If you need help, ask for it. Manipulating people into helping isn't the right way.

I know, how he did it was wrong and stupid. Stealing other people's identities for his own gains, being an utter brat about it. It's like dealing with-

[...Yep. Suddenly things are making sense. It is just like that mission. Someone snatching bodies to steal valuable items, it all turning out to be a child stealing to get enough money for his orphanage because he was too young to think of another good way to earn cash. God, looking back he even remembers from that time he was contacted by an adult with all sorts of kid like questions- and how he even thought back then it was odd.]

[He's an idiot. He can't help but laugh dryly as he runs his hands]

Aha-

...It's like dealing with a child.

[Well, that's sure a change in attitude. Sokka's frown softens, just for a moment.]

....A dangerous one.

Video- Blue Fish encryption

[save_the_souls]

Yes, that too.

[He shrugs and pulls back a little, adjusting his gloves]

I'm going to go meet him at his ship. If you don't hear from me in an hour, something's gone wrong.

And then am I allowed to call up a posse?

[By 'posse' he means Aang. ]

[save_the_souls]

[He blinks. The slang going over his head]

Why would you call up a possum? What good would that do?

[He's like 75% sure he maybe just heard a term wrong, but then again this is Sokka]

Video- Blue Fish encryption

[alwayscomeback]

What? No A posse. It means a gang coming to...do stuff.

Raise heck?

Video- Blue Fish encryption

[save_the_souls]

[Okay, that earns a half smile]

....It's "Raise Hell", Sokka.

But fine, fair enough.

Video- Blue Fish encryption

[alwayscomeback]

....What's hell?

[Can you eat it?]

Video- Blue Fish encryption

[save_the_souls]

[NO. NO EATING HELL. Goddamn heathens.]

It's...a place. In my religion, it's where demons and the devil lives. Bad people go there after they die to suffer eternal torment.

Video- Blue Fish encryption

[alwayscomeback]

...

Well, that's...


Why would you have a place like that?

Video- Blue Fish encryption

[save_the_souls]

So....people behave?

[Why wouldn't you have it???]

Video- Blue Fish encryption

[alwayscomeback]

I would have thought just...knowing what's right or wrong is enough? Why extra incentive? Does it make people behave any better?

Video- Blue Fish encryption

[save_the_souls]

Of- I-

[Nope. No immediate quick answer he can think of. He gets visibly annoyed and huffs, enough to puff out his cheeks a little. Exorcists may regularly pose as priests when they travel, but that sure doesn't give them a Masters in Theology]

I'm not getting into this when I need to get my eye back! We can discuss it later!

Video- Blue Fish encryption

[alwayscomeback]

Okay, get your eye back. I'll be waiting for you to come back, in case he tries to murder you.

Thank you! Please raise hell if he does!
