driftfleet | ᴏᴏ1 : ᴠɪᴅᴇᴏ

Who: Zuko!
Broadcast: Fleetwide.
Action: S.S. Golden.
When: Post-Shuffle!

[Zuko has done a pretty fabulous job of not flipping out, to be honest. He's interacted with some people aboard the Marsiva and has narrowed down the possibilities to two. 1) The Animus have launched an event that's completely eradicated the old universe and dropped them into a spaceship reality show (which, honestly, is a possibility) or 2) Zuko has been pulled from Adstringendum and is now in a new splintered universe.

After working that out, Zuko is now on a different ship, and while the teenager on camera looks fairly calm and collected, those who know Zuko know he's about two seconds from turning the desk he's sitting on into a pile of charcoal and using it as anger management therapy.

Someone didn't appreciate being doused in confetti and having a celebratory chocolate thrust upon him.

Give him a moment or two before he heaves a massive sigh.]

Two things.

[Zuko totally did not rehearse what he was going to say before he elected to talk to the entire fleet.]

One -- I guess I'm stuck here until I figure out...how to get back to wherever I came from. This is all probably going away in a week anyway... So -- has anyone figured out how to get off the ships?Are we trapped on whatever...these things are until whoever is running the show decides to send us home?

And two, is the Avatar here?

[Sorry, other members of Team Avatar, you guys are apparently on the third item that Zuko didn't find important to add. He's pretty sure the rest of his friends will find him, but this is Super

Important

okay.

Also he's not introducing himself, sorry. He forgot.]

You can leave your ship and visit other ships and sometimes planets! But you can't go home home until they send you back. Sorry...

[ she does hate being the bearer of bad news. but maybe she can pad it with something good! ]

But it's really very interesting here! I mean, have you SEEN all those stars? Talk about twinkling!

[Generally what he expected, but what Zuko didn't expect is the sudden cheerfulness afterwards. Silver lining and all that.

While Zuko is (generally) appreciative of people attempting to cheer him up (sometimes), he's really in no mood for it today. But he's also not going to make some poor girl cry (yet), so he manages a half-hearted -- ]

I like the sun.

[Firebenders do much better during the day than at night, so. :c]

But it's pretty, I guess.

Oh, the sun is great, too! Don't get me wrong. I'm a big sun fan. [ if that's even a thing, Rapunzel is one. ] But I'll bet soon you'll come to love the stars just about as much as anything!

I'm Rapunzel, by the way!

[Isn't the sun technically a star you know what Zuko isn't having this discussion with the little ball of sunshine today.]

-- Zuko.

[Pause.]

How often do we get to leave the ships and go out onto planets?

It's nice to meet you, Zuko! [ she sounds beyond genuine about that. new faces are her favorite thing! ~~even scarred ones.~~ ]

Oh, about everyone month or so? But we're usually near them for awhile so it's not just a one-day thing! There's plenty of time to go down and explore.

[Goddd you're too happy for him]

-- right.

[Once a month, otherwise stuck on a small spaceship, with no natural sunlight. The thought is -- ugh.]

Great.

[THERE IS NOTHING ELSE TO SAY TO THAT goddammit this is going to suck.]

[ and now they will be friends forever. deal with it, zooks. ]

It's not so bad! You get to be a part of a crew that's like a big old family, and you'll make lots of friends in no time!

I already have lots of friends.

[ -- in Adstringendum. And home, now, he supposes.]

... Katara, Sokka, and Toph are from my universe. If you know any of them.

Nope! I'll have to make sure I meet them, though. You can always make more friends than the ones you already have!

[ i mean, who wouldn't want to make more friends?? ]

I like the ones I have.

[Making friends is hard, okay, you have to be all ~sharing~ and shit and Zuko is comfortable with the ones he's gotten hold of.]

-- and I made new ones at where I was before... if I'm still there. I don't even know.

Oh, you're definitely in space now! [ does that help? ] But don't worry. I'll be your friend, and I know a lot of people I can introduce you to! Would that help?

[ because clearly he is just PAINFULLY shy. ]

[Goooooddaammit.]

... sure.

[Not really, but Zuko knows this type, and she is not one to be dissuaded. She's almost like Ty Lee.]

Whatever -- you're not on Sokka's ship, are you?

Nooope! Who's Sokka? Is he your friend? Also, what's an Avatar? Are they your friend, too?

[ embrace it zuko this is your fate now ]

[ christ help him ]

Sokka is someone from the Southern Water Tribe. Reluctantly. The Avatar is the person who is meant to restore balance to my universe. Yes.

[ look he technically answered the questions ]

[ she nods, like this explanation is completely satisfactory. ]

How did it fall out of balance? Was your planet falling through the sky??

[ that sounds ALARMING. ]

[ lord almighty ]

There was a war.

[ it is still kind of weird to talk about in past tense ]

The Avatar helped end it.
